New website aims to track Russian-backed propaganda on Twitter
I'd say both men and women at some level value themselves in their attractiveness to the opposite sex. Women feel value by being attractive to men. And Men feel value by being attractive to women. Men are attracted to women who display youth and beauty as a proxy for reproductive value, and women are attracted to wealth and status as a proxy for support.
That was ---------- when reading through the ----------, because ---- the -----. So, the real reason was yes.
This is especially useful in countries like Malaysia and Indonesia. There was this company with really poor reviews on Glassdoor - most the negative reviews were low salary.

I practically canceled the interview on reading these reviews. I went to the interview to probe them on salary, which they brushed off and said there were two more stages of interview. This seems like a lot of hassle just to get to a stage where I'd possibly turn it down, so I goofed around in the interview to get rejected.

A few years later, this company publishes salary range on job posts.

They paid above average salaries for the country, great purchasing power. But most of their hires were Europeans, who got comparatively very low salaries. Basically they just screwed themselves by obscuring the salary, because they weren't meeting expectations for some people, even though they were already paying above expectations for others.

It happened to me about 6 years ago with a $650 camera I I bought from Amazon Marketplace. There wasn’t anything wrong with it, something was missing from the box.

So I called Amazon and explained and they refunded the money before I knew what was happening. I said ok thanks, what should I do with the camera? She said you can throw it in the trash.

Of course since they made me a customer for life They’ve done quite well from me.
I don't know why you keep coming back to this. You are talking about how an individual represents themselves to a potential employer. I am talking about branding position for a job board.

Lawyer: So, in December of 2015, before he left Google's employment, did you believe at that time that he had made significant contributions to Project Chauffeur?

Larry: I mean, I think he's definitely been a significant person in the history of the project.

Lawyer: And tell me why you believe that. If you can elaborate. What is it that he did that, in your mind, makes his contribution significant?

Larry: Well, I didn't say that. I said he's been a significant person. I think it has yet to be determined whether it's a positive or negative.
I don't know about that. On the news, from time to time I see groups of secular people who are trying really hard to deny others the right to contest the secular group's morals...

Yup. Assume there's two founders both of which draw a 50k salary, likely after months of bootstrapping. 400k is not even three engineers in SF.

> It's purely parents projecting gender roles onto their kids.

I don't think this statement can be made so strongly. There is certainly debate within the academic community on this topic. For instance this meta analysis[0] found an extremely large gender difference along the "people/thing" dimension, which could easily explain why more men are in STEM.

Of course, the person is not the population, so it's obviously very possible that while on average women tend to be more people-oriented that your daughter is more thing-oriented and drawn to STEM.

But I don't think it's reasonable to generalize from your one experience that gender roles come entirely from parents. It could just be that 1) your daughter would be interested in STEM regardless of how she were raised and 2) at a population level that's less common (which is not to say rare) in daughters than in sons.

You assume there are candid answers in there, though - in a deposition you answer as little as humanly possible. Your side of lawyers will ask a few key questions, any everything else is from your opposition trying to trip you up.
This is simply not true.

As other have noted, splitting is a natural process of beekeeping.

however, I've noticed a discernible change in the beekeeping profession in the last 10 years.

To take a step back - there is a huge variation in bee characteristics from hive to hive.

What I've noticed is that package and nuc suppliers (aka bee breeders) are far less likely to treat hives. And it has become near impossible to buy 'traditional' chemical bee disease medications.

The prevailing modus operandi these days is to leverage natural evolutionary processes. I.e. let weak hive fail and therefor let undesirable genes phase out.

Clinton's campaigning problems were cobsistent, IIRC, across all of her elections; she consistently lost ground, she just had less of it to lose in her Presidential run. (This is true not only of here Senate and Presidential general election campaigns, but also both Presidential primaries.)

It seems likely to me that it wasn't her pollsters from all those elections that were the weakness, but the candidate, who has a strong loyal base within the party, limited ability to hold on to votes that initially lean her way that aren't part of that base, and basically no ability (in part because of hardened negative opinions on a large segment of the electorate) to swing opposed or uncommitted voters.

The nRF24L01 is not really a BLE radio, though the modulation is effectively the same. It supports only a very simple protocol that is proprietary to Nordic Semi. In this case it looks like they're abusing it to sniff BLE advertising packets, but it wouldn't be able to do much else.

I still agree that we shouldn't call it air-gapped, though.
That's not splitting hairs; that's literally the point of credit cards. It is entirely "push" from my perspective, modulo the minimum monthly payment and tolerance for paying interest and bad credit.

If I buy something with a credit card for $2k and have $2k in my bank account, the $2k is still there until I pay the credit card company. It could take years or be paid off immediately.

It's not a "pull" at all.
Huh. I assume (perhaps naively) that all non-egregious benefits packages will make me equally happy.

The only consideration is, how much rent can I pay? How nice of a place can I get, for how much commute time?

And then maybe, does this salary-location pair give me any hope of owning a condo similar to that apartment, and if so, how many years will it take to save?

I've never thought about compensation in any terms other than housing, because it seems like every tech job would meet all of my needs except (maybe) housing.

There are even less women in construction or waste management.

But we don't hear as many complains there. My guess? Those jobs are known to be hard. STEM seem like a breeze from outside (that's just office work) but when you work there you realize it may not be physicaly hard but the stress is there. So people who value a better work-life balance decide to get out. People who have the option to decide to not work will do it.

The flip-side of the gender role is the number of articles lately shaming young males who decide to work part-time and enjoy life instead of working for a family. Also, the number of high achieving women who complain about the lack of available good men. Marrying down? That's for the males.
I want you guys to know that there are a number of people, such as myself, who overwhelmingly prefer coding assignments over whiteboarding, tech Q&A, or rattling off a string of accomplishments that are already covered in the resume.

It would be nice if devs were paid a modest sum ($75 Amazon Gift Card) for completing them. However, I never view them as a waste of my time because I always shoehorn some tech, tool, library, etc. that I've been meaning to study anyway. Also, if it doesn't work out, after some slight refactoring I now have another open-source project on github.

Also, I only do coding assignments for companies that I have targeted and have a desire to work for. In that way, it works as a handy filter. This is especially important for remote positions.
So much this.

That is pretty interesting... I've hit a wall on figuring out what they did here but maybe have missed the info.[1]

1a) One male who was heterozygous for a certain mutation donated his sperm:

-"only three adult heterozygous patients were identified by OHSU Knight Cardiovascular Institute physicians and referred to the research team, one of whom agreed to participate in the study."

1b) X females donated Y amount of eggs:

- I didn't see these numbers discussed anywhere

2) One sperm each was matched to each of Y eggs for Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). It isn't clear whether any selection for sperm went on here:

-"Oocytes were fertilized by ICSI using frozen and thawed sperm. Fertilization was determined approximately 18 h after ICSI by noting the presence of two pronuclei and second polar body extrusion."

3) Z zygotes were found at the end of the above 18 hours:

-"zygotes were collected 18 h after ICSI and placed in a micromanipulation drop...Injected zygotes were
cultured...for up to 3 days to the 4–8-cell stage"

4) 131 embryos formed from those Z zygotes that got injected with CRISPR-Cas9, consisting of 830 cells total:

-"A total of 830 blastomeres were isolated from 131 embryos, including 19 from control, 54 from zygote-injected and 58 from M-phase-injected groups."

5) A sequence was attained for 730 of those 830 cells:

-"Of 830 blastomeres, 730 (88%) resulted in successful libraries and produced PCR products for MYBPC3 while the remaining 100 blastomeres (12%) failed to generate PCR products and were excluded from the study."[2]

I mostly wanted to know Z, how many and what percent of zygotes survived the CRISPR/Cas-9 treatment. It seems to be missing. I would also like to know X and Y (initial number of women and eggs donated) though.

This is veering off-topic, but is anyone else finding the Bloomberg menu nearly impossible to use/borderline broken? It activates on hover, but to actually click on a story you have to get past a secondary list of categories that also acts on hover (hiding the story you intended to click on). If you move the mouse diagonally instead, chances are you'll activate a different top-level menu. I felt like I had to dodge around menu elements just to be able to click on anything.
Well, candid means "truthful and straightforward", doesn't necessarily mean exhaustive. Sure, they are going to give away as little as possible, but considering it is a legal deposition and perjury is a thing, they aren't going to lie or actively dissemble like they might otherwise.
I couldn't make it through the whole thing. I understand Larry wanted to be specific but he seemed to be purposely obtuse on straight forward questions. Is this the way all depositions go?

I worked mostly with startups on the east coast if that helps (Philly market, some NYC).
1 - Maybe 20% gave an actual range.
2 - A mix. Most that did give numbers gave a ceiling. If I was dealing with a CTO, it might have been in the context of 'we're not going to pay more than n, because that's about what I make'.

Part of the reason I didn't get ranges was probably because my clients trusted that I knew the market, so if candidates were priced appropriately they were typically open to seeing them. I imagine junior recruiters probably got ranges from companies (and perhaps even the same companies I worked with) more than I did. I could be wrong.

Good luck with your venture, feel free to reach out directly.
Just a follow up to my own comment here for those wondering the same or for in the future if it happens to you. I got word from HN that the community probably thought this post was marketing for a business, and that the community was, understandably, wary of a new account posting their product. Truth is I am a solo hacker and this is just a side project of mine. I made an account with a matching name so that it was easier to determine official answers.

TL;DR: submissions from new accounts that are flagged for any reason weigh heavily against you, keeping you from posting or answering questions in a timely manner. Also, it took 40 min for it to be public on New, starting on the second page.

Yes, seeing issues with the autoscaling API for a single zone in us-east-1.
Correct, but it's largely useless because the swing in the range is almost 80% in many cases and in 1 particular company all jobs titles with widely varying roles and skill requirements have the same range (see below), which makes no sense.

ex: https://angel.co/stripe/jobs

1) Engineer San Francisco · Full Time · $100K – $180K · 0.0% – 1.0%
2) Engineering Manager San Francisco · Full Time · $100K – $180K · 0.0% – 1.0%
3) Security Engineer San Francisco · Full Time · $100K – $180K · 0.0% – 1.0%
4) iOS Engineer San Francisco · Full Time · $100K – $180K · 0.0% – 1.0%
5) Frontend Engineer San Francisco · Full Time · $100K – $180K · 0.0% – 1.0%
6) Site Reliability Engineer San Francisco · Full Time · $100K – $180K · 0.0% – 1.0%

I wonder if the companies are doing this to get around having to fill out a salary range on angel.co
Quite truthful. When I left Google at the end of March to start my own thing a lot of folks came out of the woodwork telling me about their plans, how they've saved up $xxx,xxx to start their app and leave the company, etc. I visit friends back there for lunch every month or so and I still see the same faces at the same desks. When I ask them about pulling the trigger it's always "you know . . ."

It's really a testament to the HR and REWS departments that they've constructed a workspace and a compensation package that keeps so many people there despite their own intentions! Masterful really.
> This is pretty unlike regular life. As an engineer if someone asked me "Hey, in order to get the widget-spinner to go clockwise do I call function X?" I might answer "No, what you need to do is set variable X to true." (or whatever). In a deposition the correct answer would just be "no."

Or, even, possibly, “You might” (given the question phrasing ”...do I...”), if it is technically possible to get the fidget spinner to go clockwise with a call to function X, even though it's not the right way.
Would he have to be well-versed to have enough BTC to retire? Surely you could just get on board the hype train at the right station, when it was cheap enough to buy a few, and maybe at the urging of a colleague, and go from there.

Wells Fargo seems to struggle to do honest business with their customers. Recent reports say that car loans are the next economic crisis and one where forced placed insurance will push otherwise good consumers to lose their vehicles. Once that happens the resulting credit default snowball will run over a number of middle class borrowers.

I would love to see political candidates truly address how they are going to deal with companies who operate under a business model of fraud. I am not pro the addition of tons of government regulations but I am pro accountability. We have laws against fraud so why are those laws never enforced against banks, etc.?

Colony Collapse Disorder is roughly defined as unexpected colony death over winter. A previous base rate of 10% colony loss increased to 15-25% colony loss during different years. There are lots of theories about why, but note that wild swarm mortality during winter is over 80%. CCD is a problem in domestic hives, and may very well be a consequence of some aspect of modern beekeeping practices.
0. What I do is irrelevant to whether or not the other people in the community have solved that problem. Which they have.

1. That's a Gradle plugin. I do not use Gradle. I use Maven.

2. I don't need to "manually verify everything I whitelist" (which is not exactly how Maven works but w/e) because everything in Central is cryptographically signed and can't be replaced simply because someone deleted all of their projects in a fit of pique, and some other person swooped in and used the exact same name.

3. I don't have to worry about typos, because I can't add a dependency to my project without editing the project's POM, so fat fingering on the command line cannot add random packages to the project. Plus, Maven artifacts are namespaced, so I would have to be pretty drunk to make so many typos that a different, existing package downloaded.
Who says it's without consideration? They're holding onto your BTC for you. That's not a free service. The bank analogy is holding customer cash at zero interest.

My understanding is that CCD is defined by an increase in overwintering losses of whole hives. But overwintering losses of hives are something that happens with or without a new disease, and represent essentially a livestock management problem for beekeepers.

Losses are made up for by splitting hives and introducing new queens, which are bought on an open market. You can see the price for a new queen right now; it's low tens of dollars.
