In general I agree, nothing good ever came from discussing religion or politics in a social setting. However there is a tie t the environment in this instance, it is about the quality of work and the remuneration for said work, that does impact on the people involved. If everyone gets paid the same for doing the same job but X produces measurably more work, then there is a disincentive for X to achieve highly if Z gets rewarded inline with the work done by X.

In development this may not be as easily measured but, for example, in fruit picking I worked alongside my girlfriend and at the end of day 1 I was asked if I would come back of my girlfriend was not asked to come back. I produced, she didn't and because she could not do as much she actually held back everyone else (not just her, a few mainly females, were not offered another day's work. We were all getting paid a daily rate, so there was a disincentive when someone who could not do as much was getting paid the same. As I say that is in a situation where output can be easily measured and compared, I'm sure there are metrics in development that allow for similar comparisons but can't be certain.

> but you absolutely cannot 'share space'. Absolutely key to segregate

That is indeed key, and I'd love to see more of it in the UK, where cycle lanes aren't usually segregated, and tend to disappear as soon as the road narrows. Or is interrupted by a parking space, or any other number of daft things.

If you're in London, try going to Richmond Park on any Sunday when the weather is halfway reasonable. Narrow roads, hordes of lycra-clad cyclists and a 20mph limit for cars doesn't make for a safe environment... I'm surprised more cyclists haven't been injured or killed there!
Any serious mountain range (e.g. Alps or Pyrenees in Europe), if you are good enough in mountaineering (it looks on the surface like everything is inhabited, but there are huge patches of mostly untouched wilderness everywhere).

Depends on the number of snapshots in my experience. 84,000 was slightly too many.
As someone who takes these kinds of larger social issues fairly seriously, and supports many efforts to correct the long lasting effects of discrimination, I think viewing this issue in such a binary fashion(that is that women as a class are oppressed and men are the oppressors) is both incorrect and unhelpful to the cause you seem to be supporting. Privilege, oppression, and discrimination exist over multiple overlapping spectrums. The notion that in a country like the US white women(due to their being women) are somehow oppressed by black men(due to their being men) is both incorrect, and quite frankly, somewhat insulting. You will not win any allies to your cause by framing these very important issues in such a binary, and unnuanced way.
So if I wanted to write a HN comment based on a question I had for the founder that I posted on Twitter, would I be doing a potential hit piece? Should I have scheduled a interview? This is the internet: we're all in some ways journalists in your terms.
That's a quote from US officials. The author points out you'd be dealing with Chinese officials. It turns out those aren't the same. Read the article to see what happens next.
I wouldn't even carry luggage for my wife or my mother, even if traveling with them. My mother once said "We haven't had problems with my morphine when we visited China (She's old and suffers from hip arthrosis). Actually I had put half in your dad's luggage, in case they lost mine." My dad wasn't happy, especially at how casual she sounded. She didn't even carry the doctor's ordinance. Most people don't understand the risks of being abroad.
We are discussing hypothetical life forms, different to the ones on Earth. Obviously we can not use a definition of life which only applies to earth-based life: we need to generalize more.

You've missed his point.

First. Its not that EQ does not describe certain personal characteristics. It is that EQ can actually be described as a combination of other existing, well established traits. Thus it is not an independent variable. EQ is just a bad design.

As for your "trust me, I'm an authority vibe" remark... OP has referenced a lot of papers to properly argument his point. And he is an actual authority.
No one should be forced to become a computer programmer just to satisfy some notion that companies should be 50% men and 50% women. No one should be forced to become a nurse just to satisfy some other notion that there should be equal numbers of men and women in nursing.

It's also not wrong to say 'maybe we should try to make our company more representative of society'.

>> But if the difference is due to expressed preference, its fine and we should all chill out.

The problem is that systemic prejudice causes long-term harm to human society. Women whom make less simply because of their gender have access to fewer opportunities. So do their children. They retire with less. It goes on and on...

For many people this issue isn't something that can be summed up as simply as perhaps you would like. It has real, long term consequences.
It's good to hear that. I guess that was a communication problem then. I'd be careful with any kind of hyperbole on the net because, just as with sarcasm, it will be taken seriously. People will read what you wrote and take it straight and it will mislead and confuse them.

So I guess we're roughly on the same page then, that the observable variation in outcome is caused by a mix of innate and societal factors, and the real discussion to be had is about how to tease them apart and quantify their respective contributions?
I read the answer, and my response is to the repeated "There is no such thing as EQ" statements which are stressed throughout it. How is anything I wrote not related to that statement?
(edited my reply to be more constructive)
I didn't study law or Latin but the amount of time I see this BS online and offline (usually translated though) is astonishing.

It's a very good principle for dangerous professions, bets, stun artists, boxers, etc. but not for average people as these crazy "free market" people try to apply it.

Jail time in China is not a reasonable risk to be expected from being a client of a legally operating company selling cheap tickets where your luggage space is "rented out".

Maybe it's supposed to be more like a tutoring?
I don't know if such policy exists in Google but many American companies having their software houses in Poland give woman extra points during recruitment only for their gender, in order to help them start a real work even if for various reasons they miss some experience, not because of their gender but because there is much less experienced female programmers than male programmers.
I don't suggest that the tutoring should be obligatory for females and made by males but simply a help from a more experienced employee would help all newcomers.
I was lucky enough to get my first job in a quite small company with quite small teams and many very experienced employees(10 years in the same company wasn't that uncommon) and I took enormous advantage from such informal tutoring.

My unpopular plan to improve the world
That's not really a fair statement. First of all, Linux started as Linus just reimplementing the Unix semantics, so edge cases and subtle semantics should be expected to be different. Secondly, most Unix-based OSes are barely compatible in their facilities.

Sure, you have DTrace (which only macOS, illumos and FreeBSD have) and ZFS (which only illumos and FreeBSD have) but the rest is similarly incompatible. Solairs/illumos even has a complete NIH-reimplementation of FreeBSD's kqueue (event ports). They have different views on containerisation (Zones/Jails). They've historically had very different opinions on /proc and ioctls, not to mention that they were developed separately for such a long time that their shared history is not very recent.

As a result, porting from Solaris to FreeBSD is also difficult. Maybe it's harder or easier than porting to GNU/Linux, but I wouldn't just flat-out claim that GNU/Linux is the only member doing things that are incompatible.

I don't know much about crypto, but this argument seems extremely compelling to me. Why would I want my network of trust to be public or centralized? Can someone more knowledgeable comment on whether parent is making sense?

> Server compromised; attacker corrupts server-side code and keys to send bad data to clients

> Server compromised; attacker distributes corrupted client-side code

Why would I want my GPG security to depend on whether some company got hacked or not? This seems like a terrible idea.

> How do you enable your brain to create a wider variety of emotions and improve your emotional intelligence? One approach is to learn new emotion words. Each new word seeds your brain with the capacity to make new emotion predictions, which your brain can employ as a tool to construct your future experiences and perceptions, and to direct your actions. Instead of perceiving someone as generically “glad,” learn to distinguish more specifics. Are they “overjoyed” or “contented” or “grateful?” Are they “angry” or “indignant” or “resentful” or “bitter?” More fine-grained emotions allow your brain to prepare for an array of different actions, whereas more generic emotions (angry, glad) confer less information and restrict your flexibility.

80% male, both perpetrators and victims: http://www.barkinganddagenhampost.co.uk/news/crime-court/eas...

At this point it's mostly gang on gang, and probably driven by anti-knife enforcement. Scooter riders snatching phones are a bigger threat to tourists. The two have been combined recently though, using scooter + acid to hijack and steal other scooters and bikes. This in turn is driven by police not chasing two wheeled vehicles due to danger to riders, and pretty much ignoring motorcycle theft. Scooter crime is up 600% since 2015 and motorcycle theft was up 44% in 2016 over 2015.

If you're not riding a bike and you don't have your phone in your hand, you're not at significant risk.

I've had 5 scooters stolen from me in the past 8 years though.

Section 3 is most troubling to me as well, even if I can mostly agree with some of his other points. I particularly enjoyed the notion of the manifesto's author being punched in the face while at work, and this being a reason Mr Zunger couldn't have other people working with him, rather than perhaps requiring those people not punch others in the face. In a different scenario this kind of attitude towards workplace violence might be labelled victim blaming.

As an aside, I always wonder whether people like Mr Zunger, who are seemingly so nonchalant in their casual dismissal of the use of violence against those they disagree with, have every had this kind of violence visited upon themselves. In an effort to be charitable, I'm going to assume it comes from a position of privilege and ignorance, rather than malice.

Diseases in one part of the country could spread to another. Australia and NZ have strict biosecurity because their isolation means they missed out on a lot of diseases that affect produce and animals in other parts of the world.
Western Australia is separated from farms in the rest of the country by ~1000 km of desert, meaning there are various pests in the rest of the country that they don't want to see introduced, and thus enforce strict quarantine measures: https://www.agric.wa.gov.au/importing-animals/quarantine-wa-...

FWIW, California also has agricultural quarantine measures, they're just much more half-assed.
Because there are crop diseases endemic in one part of the country that aren't present in another. Try searching for "Nevada California fruit" if that's closer to home.

That was strictly speaking an openzfs bug that hit all the ports.

There's another one, somewhat related:

https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/issues/6224

which (so far) seems tied to using recordsize > 128k without either of the -L or -c flags on the zfs send side, with the result that the sendstream is corrupted in such a way that the receiver cannot detect the corruption. As with the filled-holes problem, the problem is real but rare. Unlike the filled-holes problem, it is unlikely to affect many people since it is (probably) very rare that anyone uses large records and does not use -L (or -c, or both), although there are certainly automatic snapshot-send systems (e.g. znapzend) that use a common minimal set of options to zfs send.

This is especially unfortunate because of the rarity of the corruptions, the apparent rarity of people using POSIX-layer checksumming (e.g. rsync -c, or sha256deep or the like) on large datasets (with large files that had holes made and refilled, for example) to validate that a received dataset really is the same as the original, and the apparent rarity of people doing this sort of validation specifically targetting backwards compatibility mechanisms (e.g. zfs recv into a version 28 or earlier pool from a source dataset that uses all the most recent bells and whistles).

Finally, it is extra-especially unfortunate because recovering from this sort of corruption is awkward and time-consuming; at the minimum the source and destination have to be entirely read at least once or alternatively the destination needs to be destroyed and sent again from scratch once the fix or workaround for send|recv corruptions is known.
The link you're quoting is describing the situation internationally, and as of six months ago. This is no doubt still a terrible problem which must be attacked politically, but the acid attacks in London during the last few months have largely been muggings.

Er, the comment was, "Most filesystem images aren't intended to be ported directly between machines in general."

The entire complaint itself is the fact that this file system isn't able to do what people expect from most file system images (read: pretty much every one, except this one). Citing the fact that this particular one fails that pattern isn't a justification, it's circular logic.
Australia is an island so it has a fairly unique biodiversity. For international flights bringing in fruits is a concern since it can introduce pests that don't otherwise exist in Australia.

Australia is also a very large island, and the biodiversity of the east coast is very different to that of the west coast, so the same concerns apply. If you drive along the highways between states you'll see signs telling you to dispose of your fruit.

> Women whom make less simply because of their gender ...

My understanding is that most of this effect is caused by:

- Women taking breaks in their career to start families

- Women preferring jobs that give them more time to spend with their children. Jobs that have better benefits often have worse pay (Eg lawyer vs schoolteacher.)

- Society values traditionally feminine jobs less than traditionally masculine jobs

I'm not sure how pushing for more women to become programmers will help address any of these issues.

Good point there. While I also think that lower debt is very desirable, the US example here seems to show that there is a positive effect to be had from spending as opposed to a strict austerity policy. It's probably a matter of degree and specific circumstances and goals how much spending exactly is most appropriate.
