It can't be worse than Digg, can it? Just as bad seems like the worst you can realistically get. Digg lost what, 95% or more of its users within months?
that's good, most women don't really want unsolicited comments from strangers on their appearance, and frequently experience unwanted comments. I know women who literally every time they go out get catcalled.
This is the boarding pass for the last flight I took: https://s1.postimg.org/7z1w2wwm7/IMG_0048.jpg

It has some of the changes seen in his redesign, but still a lot closer to the original one from Delta. I think it's perfectly fine and practical, despite not being exactly visually pleasant; all the information I care about is in big bold letters at the top, without any strange codes or abbreviations.
You're not quite making the right analogous scenario. It's more like if a neighbor you know who has some strong vocal opinions agaist the current regime suddenly gets arrested on some charges like conspiracy to incite revolt. I would be rightful to be afraid of being charged similarly if I had similar beliefs and had knew I'd had similar conversations as my neighbor.
At the moment, with relatively rare and relatively small-scale exception, yes. Does that mean a world filled with lies need not end in fire, and those excrescences of violence we do observe are aberrational? Or does it mean only that the war has yet to go from cold to hot?
From a usability perspective, this isn't even close to being true.
This was an excellent read about how to deal with the irrationality and repression of mobs. Thanks.

Perhaps this is where anonymous speech is important as it allows the discussion of ideas without giving importance to the persons behind them. Of courae, allowing for the fact that nothing can be truly anonymous :)
I'm into this as a concept--customizable vision enhancements--but VR/AR? I don't want anything with a standard network connection in my head unless security gets way better. Hacking my phone is one thing; hacking my eyes is something else entirely.
His methods aren't insane. They're rational for survival in human society/civilization without participating in it.

Think of a rat or other mammal pest. They effectively survive off of civilization in the same way.

And since he got away with it for the entire time...successfully...it seemed effective, too.

>alaska

Living fully alone isolated from civilization in terrain as hostile as wild alaska isn't realistic. See Christopher Mccandless. It's simpler to just scrounge off of civilization.
Well I certainly wouldn't use it as a measurement. Why should we?

Moving to Alaska doesn't work either. See Chris McCandless. Of course, where he chose to live (and, eventually, die) didn't have nearby houses to steal from. He just thought he could live off the land. In Alaska. In winter. Without the necessary tools or skills. That, my friend, is truly nuts.
The Samuel L. Jackson Method
Anthropologists have known this for at least 50 years.

Props for raising awareness of the field, though.
Have you tried actually disagreeing with leftists?

Many can handle it fine and have a decent discussion. But many will explode in self righteous rage and do all the things people blinded by hate do.
that's cool that you know so many people with diverse education, but the absolute ignorance of and disdain towards the social sciences in this thread definitely does not challenge the tech bro stereotype
So basically here's what I see:

One side points out that gender parity is overwhelmingly better in other STEM fields, that in modern science those fields are all themselves largely defined by software and technology, that there's a clear history of women being excluded from other professions, and that those professions later and enduringly corrected those problems, and that gender parity in CS has sharply decreased over time.

The other side has something to say about monkeys.
The changing nature of typefaces
OK, you are right. Seeing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_and_technology_in_Iran... however also does not reveal anything about 70%:

The most popular in 2013 were social sciences (1.9 million students, of which 1.1 million women) and engineering (1.5 million, of which 373 415 women). Women also made up two-thirds of medical students.

Also, practicing researchers probably would be much better metric than students - if the student graduates as STEM major but then does nothing of the sort, then it's not really so relevant for participation anymore. If we had such situation in US, we would reasonably ask what is preventing those student from entering the labor market and consider situation where the distribution is 70/30 outside of university and 25/75 on the labor market abnormal.
Huh? The history of defeat devices and corresponding legislation is much older:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defeat_device
I believe the gap is more cultural-made than sex-made. Basically there are the same differences of capabilities between two random males and between a random male and a random female.
There was persistent and powerful bias against women in medicine and the law long after women were officially allowed into the field. The fields themselves did things to correct these problems.
I feel you are misrepresenting the male/female balance of various disciplines.

Here are male/female distributions of bachelor degrees across many majors. Few of these sit right at 50%:

http://www.randalolson.com/2014/06/14/percentage-of-bachelor...

Are you arguing that every field that doesn't sit right at 50% is sexist against the underrepresented gender?

(I don't dispute that sexism in tech exists. I just dispute the expectation that representation will always be equal absent sexism.)
Ask HN: How do I find a job that involves Windows kernel development?
Hi all!

I am from Germany and I am going to finish my master's degree in computer sciences in about a year.

I've developed Windows drivers in my free time and in a team project in the university.

I also plan to focus my master's thesis on Windows kernel development.

However, I have looked for jobs in that area and it's hard to find them.

Did I pick a wrong field and should try to focus on other stuff? I really enjoy it though and it would be sad if all the knowledge I gathered in that field will be lost.

Do you have advice?

Thanks!
Hillary feared losing her mandate by winning the electoral college and losing the popular vote, so she over-campaigned in states like California and New York which would be a lock for any Democrat. She "won" the popular vote but lost the only real race that was being run.
Could you explicate the last part a little more? I'm interested in understanding the argument but I don't quite follow.
Could you expand on your "safety paper"? Was it taped to the top floor, as a signal to get out?
> Analogies are hard.

They are, and they're never perfect. But there's a simple question people should ask themselves when someone tells them their site is insecure: If this person intended to misuse this information, why are they telling me about it? And I think the analogy I offered also suggests this question.
See my other comment - they have actually changed a bit, and it's perfectly possible to produce better designs with the existing tech (not the colorful ones though).
It's the New Yorker's humor section.
Do you have evidence for that? Are there really solid cases where, say, 20% female team handled certain features far better than a 5% female team, due to their gender?

I see this implicit assumption everywhere that diversity comes up, yet at best I've only seen studies indicating better workplace environment or higher productivity on mixed teams. But never anything in detail.

And why does diversity fail so hard when it comes to physical activities?
Perhaps because it used to be (or be perceived) more like a science back then?

It's an age old question indeed, the example you cited has been recorded from at least the first century: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_of_Theseus
Yes, absolutely. The burden is on the government to prove he knew who he was selling it to and that he knew what they were very likely going to use it for.
In a similar vein, research has found a positive correlation between the number of right letter QWERTY keys in a word and the positivity felt towards those words.

A substantial amount of academic sociology is based on quantitative analyses of survey data. For example, here's an (open-access!) paper describing gender divides in US doctoral education: https://www.sociologicalscience.com/articles-v4-6-123/
It's arguably the culture that the OP is rallying against which relies on the "soft science of sociology" as a theoretical basis.

The OP's point on the other hand finds most of its supporting evidence in evolutionary psychology and biology.
Hey, I didn't know they wrote an article about me! Fun. /s
I'd like to see a site that has the best content in the industry actually look like a site that has the best content in the industry.
Ahhh....but now your sequence of reactions that you have includes a 10 day experience that will forever contribute to your future "who you are." Can you really say you are worse for it?
Sex is in fact a binary difference, transgender folk are a tiny proportion of the population.
More like Guix would not exist if not for Nix, as the primary dev of Guix came over from Nix. Guix even use the primary Nix package management code.
Interesting point. Buildings that are very large on the horizontal plane (like the Pentagon) have adopted systems of personal transport like bicycles and Segways. But I guess there's no reason why the elevator model shouldn't work horizontally.

Still, elevators in general are more like ridesharing than public transit: they move according to the requests they receive in real time (with some central planning influence), rather than on a schedule set by committee months or years prior.
In a chimney there is a difference between the pressure at the bottom and at the top. If you move some "isolated" block of air from the bottom to the top, the reduction of pressure makes it cooler, because you can assume that there is very few heat interchanged and it's an adiabatic process.

(It doesn't matter too much if the air is in the real chimney, or in an imaginary chimney nearby, or in a very soft balloon, ...)

In a normal chimney the difference of pressure is small, and the difference in temperature is small. So you can usually just ignore them. If you have hot air at the bottom, you can simply subtract the temperature of the surrounding air that is essentially equal at the top or at the bottom and be happy with that result.

If you put a lot of this chimneys together, the difference between the temperature of the air that enter at the bottom and the air that exits at the top is big enough that it can't be ignored. I don't have hard numbers now, but assume that in a 200 chimney you have a ~1% difference that you can safely ignore. With 25 chimneys (5000m/200m) you have a ~25% difference in the temperature that you can't ignore.

So you can't compare the temperature of the air that enters the chimney at the bottom, with the temperature of the air that is surrounding the top of the chimney.

The chimney can work if the corrected temperature at the top after the expansion in the chimney is bigger than the temperature of the air around the top of the chimney. [You probably need more difference, 0.000001°C will not be enough.]

The physics doesn't change, but if the chimney is short you can ignore the correction.
> ...while recognizing that IN GENERAL people like "you" had it "easier" than people like "them".

The problem with this is the legitimacy of the framework for who counts as "like you" and "like them".

If you were born Amish and deaf, you wouldn't see a Manhattan native as being like you at all. But according to the prevailing framework, you're assumed to be more privileged than the Caucasian daughter of a Columbia professor who attended a STEM magnet high school.

It's worth pointing out that generally progressive logic is very pro-self-identification. Except here.

> The micro-scale achievement is not invalidated by the macro-scale injustice.

This point is well taken. Though it misses the point from the article, that people do invalidate and have explicit preferences on the micro scale based on the prevailing framework.

> There doesn't have to be a hierarchy.

Again, I think the objection is that prevailing logic in big corps, including Google apparently, does presume there's hierarchy.

> An insistence on maintaining the status quo, would only maintain what is already a flawed situation for many people.

I haven't seen anyone arguing for the status quo, including the author of the original post. Everyone would love to see more women in tech. The question is what the best way to go about it is and when we know we're done addressing the imbalance.

I think the nonsperg is connected to society and the sperg isn't. Like, deep down in their brain and guts. It's a big difference. Like a sperg is a single celled organism and a nonsperg is one cell in a multicell blob.
I think it is a huge problem, because it makes corruption easier and if you put enough anonymous companies between you and what you do, nobody can find out what you are doing. At least those people hope they can. That is why a public register is important. Companies were never a tool for being anonymous, they were always a tool of distributing risk.
Maybe "introvert" or "extrovert" depends largely on the potential company.

All people (and cultural groups for that matter) are not equally pleasant to be around.
You have an impressive imagination.
no i made a distinction between commenting on the attractiveness of a woman's body and something that is purely aesthetic and non-sexual (clothing and makeup)
Simpler: in a retreat there are few distractions and you can see many of your behaviors which you wouldn't normally notice. The silence also takes away a big coping mechanism.
I appreciate everything you said. It was tough for me studying an engineering degree in college but since then working has been a breath of fresh air. I feel I owe a lot of that to the spirit of professionalism within companies.

It's interesting your Chinese friend said that. I recently found out that unless you are ethnically Chinese, even if you are born in China you aren't a citizen.. correct me if I'm wrong. I feel like a big reason why America will continue to thrive - because it values innovation over particular attributes of the people involved.

I'm a little skeptical. Isolated individuals cannot successfully reproduce a population. Furthermore, those who intentionally isolate themselves seem less likely to achieve reproductive success in the event that, say, they stumbled across a suitable mate, or a post-disaster survivor encampment.
I suspect the amount of hatred against the German chancellor Merkel I can hear in casual conversations here in Italy (by males and females equally) is mostly to be attributed to her being perceived as bossy just because she's a woman. An equally bossy man would be normal
how much energy are we supposed to devote to sitting down with and debating people like Milo? that works out well for him because he has nothing else to do with his time; most people don't have the luxury.

> The "Fear of missing out" is something I try to avoid like the plague, but sometimes I wonder why do I even care?

Ok, then don't care. Maybe it's time to finally grow up. Or then again, maybe the desire for company is perfectly natural and instinctual.
A lot of real people feel this way while looking for jobs. I did for a while.
49% is still millions of people, i.e. a lot of support. Surely you wouldn't just discount a (large) minority.
I'm not sure he's factually wrong. It looks like he's referring to the nordic studies which were covered by The Economist and Freakanomics.
At least in law that's not true. There were licensed women lawyers long before it became common for women to be in the profession.
You have an unimpressive comeback.
> Oracle Solaris is irrelevant.

Amen to that.
And? How do you get from the existence of those differences to observed differences in representation? That's a huge conceptual leap.
> I... Didn't ask.

If you have an opinion that is unrelated to mine, don't reply to my thread then.

You have an opinion? Great job. Good work.

Calling my comments an 'opinion piece' is actively combative. If you dont want to do that, then how about you just post your opinion in its own thread?

Its easy and saves us having this conversation, if you're not interested in a discussion.

> but a person named shadowmint on Hacker News seems very keen to suggest theirs is ground truth with vaguely sourced points.

Fuck off. Really.

If you don't want to talk about it, then don't reply. I've in no way suggested your experience with clojure is anything less than you've said it has been, and all I've posted is my experience with it. You're being a jerk.
Being alone and hiking and camping in the wilderness without human contact for longer period can be amazing experience. There can be initial anxiety and intense desire to go back after romance goes away and your internal shit comes to light. When there is constant need for do chores to survive but also free time and no human contact, no books, radio or music, mind gradually settles into itself.

It's like coming from bright light into a dark room. Gradually your eyes adjust and you start to see more. Coming back into the civilization is similar to someone pointing flashlight into your eyes. So much external triggers for behaviour. Realizing that I'm not actually me with other people and I'm disappearing into network of others. Me with others is mainly just bunch of triggers that fire based on conditioning.

If I can feel intense otherworldliness from just week or month alone, I imagine that if someone spends decades alone, civilization might seem like miserable alien ant colony. Everybody is responding to commands from others and carrying stuff they don't care about.

ps. It also can trigger psycosis, panic or some kind of madness (prairie fever, cabin fever) in some people. Romanticizing it as escape from all your problems might give people the wrong idea.
Yes, I get what your saying, but I can implement the map filter and reduce abstractions with a for loop using this accumulator pattern or
pass in the parameter by value (aka copy) then modify the original structure. If I can implement MAP using a FOR loop then they are relatively the same thing as I can just replace a MAP with it's FOR loop definition and get the same result.

Here's my main point. There is no meaningful change to your imperative program when you replace for loops with maps. The core structure of your code is exactly the same. What you have introduced is a convenience aka sugar.

If you were to truly do functional programming the architecture of your entire program will be drastically different from imperative code... To counter the posters original statement: There is a gigantic difference between just using map and reduce in your imperative javascript code vs. actually writing a functional program... It is not a trivial difference.

I feel many people who understand javascript fp libraries like underscore think they know functional programming when all their really doing is sprinkling map and reduce all over their imperative code. You guys don't get it yet, and you'll never get it if you keep coding in javascript. The difference is night and day, it's like SQL vs python.
Took me a while to parse but I think he means they taped paper to the floor, then observed that the paper was still on the floor (as opposed to the ceiling) after the elevator looped around. The entire elevator was carpeted so it wasn't obvious if this would be the case or if indeed the elevator flipped over before beginning its descent.
> Does that mean a world filled with lies need not end in fire, and those excrescences of violence we do observe are aberrational?

Living in a world of lies does not by itself beget violence or unhappiness. Nobles lies in and of themselves do not beget violence.

I read once the book "world on fire", which seems somewhat relevant. I'd recommend it. Her other book called "triple package" is also very relevant.

> Or does it mean only that the war has yet to go from cold to hot?

I am not sure it is building up right now in any big way. I am unfamiliar with the war you keep mentioning.

Netflix and other mass distractions help us live peacefully as it allows us to accept our lot or be mostly in denial of it.
It's a huge straw man to suggest that people believe emotional intelligence amounts to a mechanistic reading of facial expressions and body language. Emotional intelligence is just as much about understanding how people will react to things even when they're not in the room at all. Reading signals is just the tip of the iceberg, does anyone really think it's that simple?
Fair point, I was trying to keep it short as no one wants to read essay length comments. Which aspect of that last part? The messy pop-culture version of academic discussions of race/gender, the alt-right use of them, both?

I was a STEM major (physics) and I work in tech. I'm attacking from inside, not outside. I think that there is a specific culture in STEM whereby white men who are incredibly gifted and successful in math/science/whatever think that their natural brilliance gives them the ability to speak on all social issues with authority, and that they can speak from a purely rational perspective. My point is that things like your upbringing, your social group, your race, gender, class, etc all have an important impact on how you think, and STEM people should keep that in mind. They should have more humility, and be more open to listening to the stories of people instead of just trying to think of things in terms of Numbers.
But Gabor's holograms were not display holograms of the type we think of. The long coherence length of the laser was essential to display holography as pioneered by Leith and Upatnieks at University of Michigan in the mid 1960s.
