It's sad that security isn't one of the homepage sell points of this OS. It feels like IoT is severly in need of serious "security by design". OS level would be a good start.
Except WSL has little in common with traditional NT personalities. Traditional NT personalities were a false good idea, and have been a failure in the long term, especially to run Unix workloads -- however this jugement is easy with insight -- when it came out traditional NT personalities were quite interesting.

> How can you tell the difference between your daughter being pushed by social convention towards gender normative activities, and your daughter's possible innate preferences leading her towards those activities? Likewise, how do you know the tension is not between her peers and society trying to make her girl-like versus her innate preferences towards science, building, etc, and instead between your expectations for your daughter and her innate preferences. In other words, isn't it as likely that your opinions are pushing her towards science as it is that society is pushing her towards girl-toys?

The categorical error you make, like the author of the anti-diversity memo, is conflating gender identity with a specific set of "boy" versus "girl" activities. Just because children have strong gender identity does not mean that you can categorize any given activity as "girl-like" versus "boy-like." I.e. there is nothing to show that liking pink unicorns causes someone to have a preference against computer science.

As to our own daughter, I don't want her to be an engineer or a scientist. I want her to be a lawyer, like her mom and myself. I also hated school and don't place much emphasis on education. She's the one who wants to do puzzles and math worksheets and build legos.

Of course, that's anecdotal and doesn't prove anything. The real evidence, to me, is that this association between math/science and men differs dramatically between countries. In Bangladesh, more than 80% of teachers are men (overrepresented compared to the total labor force). And in India, half of science undergraduates are women: http://www.catalyst.org/knowledge/women-sciences. It's really a different societal mindset about what professions are appropriate for women versus men. For example, I grew up hearing my Bangladeshi mother complain about how the teachers in U.S. schools are women, when men make better teachers.

That's something I look forward to. Does anyone know of a solution of reliable SFTP on windows?
By SFTP I mean copy-over-ssh as opposed to FTP with TLS. So I guess I'm asking for a standard sshd running as a windows service.

Mercedes Benz introduced something very similar to this ten years ago[1]. The engine was using HCCI at low RPM and conventional spark-plug ignition at higher RPM.

1 'Fixed Pie' is only a fallacy if you define the gains to some fixed external standard. When the values are defined relative to the other values in the comparison, the Fixed Pie fallacy falls apart. In this case, gains made by one group are compared to gains made in another -- we all understand that gains are had by both parties but are comparing them relative to each other. Unless you are arguing that increased relative income makes no difference in terms of increased economic power which is, of course, nonsense.

2 We're talking about income, not profit and loss from capital. Different things.

3 You seem to be arguing that the poor are living long lives, are not hungry, and have access to transportation and adequate health care. They are not living as long as their wealthier contemporaries, many are hungry, and many are in circumstances where their desperation is readily taken advantage of by those that are not in desperate circumstances. Inequality is not, in and of itself, bad but inequality in which some groups are desperate and taken advantage of by those better off because their alternative to a negotiated agreement is total loss is bad (if you care about things like moving toward market efficiency, anyway).

4 The fired Google engineer spent 10 pages setting up ridiculous straw people and knocking them down. He attributed a rigidity and absolutism to those he disagrees with that doesn't exist and allowed himself extreme (and sometimes contradictory) flexibility in side stepping imagined counters. And he still managed to make himself out as a bigot. I'm not sure quoting him is a great way to make any kind of point.

I've built a few internal tools for work that have also become publicly-used tools. Nothing generating salary-replacing revenue. But the point is that you may already be doing it, or it may be staring you in the face. Great "ideas" don't have to come from moments of creative brilliance.
Guess people didn't get it. It's not believable to claim to want to correct biases when you want to remove measures that correct biases. Even more ironic is using much of the paper to argue differences between men and women just to say that men are being discriminated against because they aren't treated exactly the same as women. Therefor the program should be replaced by his own version with 4 out of 5 measure focused on women, but despite the differences between men and women doesn't discriminate against men, because he said so. The guy isn't rational, he has just come up with a lot of synonyms for "I disagree".
Oh, wow in that case if I were him I'd probably sue. This termination will sadly haunt him and he will miss out on many job opportunities because of it. Even if you disagree with what he wrote, that's a huge price to pay for trying to have a discussion around making his workplace better and what he perceives fairer.
Very much appreciate what you give away for free!
> the scientists he cited

He isn't citing anyone, he just stated "facts." Please show me the citations? Where are all these papers? Where are the peer reviews on the "facts" he mentions?

> Are you saying that no psychological finding, no matter how reproducible, can ever be used if it's related to gender?

Going back to the absolute lack of references, I am not dismissing any particular study, but rather the right-wing knee-jerk reaction that "the world is fine the way it is, and people trying to change it are just destroying the perfect equilibrium we live in." It's almost like the last century of social changes hasn't happened. Talk about disregard for evidence.

> If you have hard scientific evidence with scientists willing to go on the record and say, no, in fact, there are no innate differences between the preferences of men and women

Cute, asking to prove a negative. Let's use the same idea: do you have hard scientific proof and scientists willing to back it in public that a push for increasing diversity in engineering will go nowhere because the field is already in perfect balance? No? Didn't think so.

Also, I'm not saying there are no innate differences, but that ignoring the current societal context by pushing a theory that explains all behavior using genetic traits is ridiculous. By using the same standard, going back to pre-WW2 (which forced women into the workforce) we could assume that "women are only interested in domestic tasks".

> Show them to us.

Nice. I like that you identify with this group. I'm tired of people pussyfooting around trying to push the rhetoric, while at the same time trying to divorce themselves from the author. Good on you.

> As it is, you look like someone who is scrabbling around for an excuse to ignore perfectly valid scientific debating by disclaiming entire fields as "pseudo science" and "cherry picked". Please debate properly - make real rebuttals with evidence.

Again, show me the paper, show me how they play in the whole context of current society, and maybe I'll take you seriously. Until then, you look like someone cherry-picking data to paint the world to their liking.
At least blocks and comic books have some value for kids' development (and maybe a lot).

If we're at a point where we consider hours of toy unboxing videos and watching adults play with toys on a little screen developmentally equivalent to hours of playing with physical objects or reading comic books, I guess I give up on this whole humanity experiment.

Be naturally and deeply engaged in a community.

This could be anything that you naturally find interesting - books, art, armadillos, roofing etc. Engage with other people that also find this topic interesting.

It'll take several months, but you'll uncover more problems than you'll have time for. And the best part - you now get to pick a problem you care about, and build a solution for it.

I (jbenet) will respond to a bunch of questions here
Actually in France where I have a tiny hotel, our fee is 1.5%. High volume merchants can negotiate even lower rates. There is also a savings for us by encouraging credit cards. Cash is a pain in the ass in France because you have to go to a bank to deposit it and we are 30 minutes from the nearest bank.

Then there is security. If our guests paid us all in cash, I now have the very real problem of having thousands of euros in cash unless I want to waste an hour of my time going to a bank all the time. Then also in France, there is a law preventing cash purchases over €1000.

There is also a guest security issue – why would you want guests to be carrying hundreds of euros in cash when they travel?

For businesses, cash handling costs money too. There is a time cost, there is a security cost as well. Rarely does an employee skim money from the credit cards, but in shops it happens all the time.
> This speeds up the process considerable compared to the – likely more cash-inexperienced if I follow your description – American cashiers.

That doesn't make sense as a premise. The US wasn't lacking in experienced cashiers 15-20 years ago when cash was still king, nor today. There was a decade or more of time where the US rapidly transitioned from cash-heavy in stores over to card-heavy, the cards were universally faster unless the store ran a behind-the-counter swipe machine that the cashier had to use. The premise would have to be that in an economy with a super high GDP that has an extremely large service sector, America has especially slow cashiers everywhere (for no apparent reason given the extraordinary economic output overall). It's more than a reach.
The problem is the whole idea of cryptocurrency as a growth investment. The symptom is a bunch of copycat scams trying to freeload on the broader market. Without the bull market of the early '90's, Belfort would have had no one to sell to. Same deal here. The root cause is the insanity happening in bitcoin (and now Ethereal, I guess).

Mark my words: this will all come crashing down. I can't tell you when or why, but it's not sustainable. Probably it will happen in a way that makes the bitcoin nerds "right" in some sense of personal justice: the PRC will close the great firewall to bitcoin traffic, or backdoor the protocol in some unsupportable way. Or the SEC will shut it down somehow.

So sure: when the crash happens cryptocurrency "would have worked" if not for the meddling government. But it will fail nonetheless, and all those people (again, most of whom are not investors in scams like bitqyck) are going to lose all their "money".

Ask HN: How do self-checkout cameras recording your face prevent theft?
I've noticed cameras pointed at a customer's face popping up in self-checkout lines at Target and Walmart. Do these actually prevent theft, since they don't seem to record the area where you scan/bag your items?

At first I thought that the cameras might record your face so that the companies could later cross-reference that recording with the time(s) that items were stolen... but if there is a separate such system in place to catch stolen items, I sure don't see it.

(I feel like I should specify that I have no interest in stealing items via the self-checkout line; I'm just annoyed I'm getting recorded if that recording serves no practical purpose.)

We can't do this everywhere, but I reduced the fuel on my property for exactly $0. No government grants, no tax payer money - the timber paid for it. As a bonus it was done in the winter so it disturbed very little ground.
You make a good point-- it does still feel like you want your kids to be bored though. :-P

I think that if the games are structured correctly they can be pro-social. I've been playing PUBG and I've made a handful of friends by joining a squad where I only know one person, and meeting the other people, and then next time I see them on Discord saying hello.

I suppose the other parenting fear is that kids who are addicted to amazing games/VR/youtube won't have the drive to accomplish things in life? I think that games can, to some extent, teach and reward goal-setting. I bait-and-switched Youtube for Games in my previous comment, and I am concerned with kids who watch TV for multiple hours a day, so... the youtube/toddler criticism from kodt may be pretty on-point.

> but perhaps the Fed could inject money into the economy at the bottom, through direct deposit into consumer's bank accounts or tax refunds

The Australian Government did just this during the Global Financial Crisis, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudd_Government_(2007%E2%80%93...

It included a lot of measures, such as an increase in infrastructure spending and tax cuts, but one of the most interesting was the $950 AUD outright cash payment to individuals earning less than $80,000 AUD a year.

Australia did not feel the Global Financial Crisis nearly as much as other countries, and it is argued that the stimulus package was a big part of that.

There are concerns that the stagnation of wage growth we are seeing now is our economy paying for the stimulus package but I am waiting for a thorough retrospective report to make comment.
Look, Rick, you can't just eliminate options just because they seem like too much work for you, specifically. What you meant to say is that sometimes rebooting is the easiest and least boring option.
Climate change and big business: Action time.  what companies are doing
Great service, just signed up a few sites!
I may or may not avoid clicking, but if it happens enough, I might be motivated to install a browser plugin that strips out tracking tokens, much like I run an ad blocker full time. And yes, I know that the vendor's web site can still look at the referrer logs, but those can be stripped as well.

I don't think it's weird in any way to value one's privacy. This is shady stuff because 1. it leaks personal information and 2. most people don't know it happens and 3. they would have to actively take countermeasures to stop it.
I think men are naturally more competitive too. There aren't tons of studies on human competition, but when male dogs go through puberty they become more competitive and aggressive, hence a reason why neutering is so popular (to curb the behavior).

Also a lot of the top contributors to these equality / affirmative action posts seem ignorant of biochemistry. They always sight testosterone and estrogen as the only chemical differences, which is very high-school level understanding of the real gender differences.

You need to look at many androgens (androsenediol, androstenendione, dehydroepiandrosterone, dihydrotestosterone, testosterone), estrogens (estradiol, estetrol, estriol, estrone), progestogens (e.g. progesterone) and other biomarkers like DHEA, adrenals, prolactin to get the full picture.

This is also why the people claiming transgenders are identical hormonally to the gender they are swapping to frustrate me. It's just not the case. There are a huge array of sex hormones aside from testosterone and estrogen (usually referring to e2 or estradiol) that have large impact on an individual. I don't really care what you do with your body, but don't be ignorant to the science of what you are changing / not changing.

Anyway, I am not suggesting in anyway that we discriminate against one group or another. But we should all do our part and try to learn the differences between eachother to better understand these issues.

EDIT: I am quite liberal and don't hate anyone. I just am frustrated at other liberals who opt to ignore science to push their own agendas.

EDIT2: It's really sad that I feel the need to actually have to post the first edit.
I used to hand fill a form to save me couple hundred bucks. I automated it.
So you lack basic reading skills. I quote "not to get the opportunity at all due to systemic discrimination in hiring", you read "systemic discrimination in hiring". Apparently, you lost "not to get the opportunity at all" and "due to". Don't you see that?
From http://great78.archive.org/preservation/:

"During the 78rpm era there are no standards for speed, stylus size, or record/playback equalization. Within the trade there is broad agreement that optimizing playback requires both knowledge of the documentation that’s available on these parameters for each label over time, and some amount of judgment. There are many reasons why judgment is necessary. One reason is that the disc may be worn from being played many times with the correct stylus size. Better results may come from using a different (“the wrong”) size stylus because it sits in a portion of the groove that is in better condition. But there’s no free lunch. Using a smaller size may mean a noisier transfer as it plays a less cleanly molded part of the disc. Using a larger size may increase tracing distortion that is the result of the larger size not fitting all the way to the bottom of the smaller grooves of higher frequencies. [...]"
>> The left is turning into a fascist group.

The fringe left, while the moderates remain silent. I've found it interesting that of late there has been a minor attempt to redefine fascism as a right-wing ideology so that fascists of the left can't be accused of fascism.
"Polite" does not mean decorating every single sentence you write with a pile of qualifiers.

It was a badly structured and badly argued document, and I disagree with most of its factual claims and its policy recommendations. But it in no way was impolite or in violation of Google's code of conduct, unless you think that having that viewpoint inherently makes you in violation and deserving of excommunication.
I used to take some employees to Defcon. Though, technically, I had no good reason to go, personally. I just thought it was neat.

Anyhow, two games we used to play:

Spot the Fed.

Name That Influence.

The first was to see who looked like, and acted like, a federal agent. We'd sometimes do some work to confirm it, but we usually discussed it at the bar.

The second was trickier, and often just conjecture - again, over drinks. Who paid for the research, what did they say, what did they not say, and what does it imply?

We weren't the only ones to play these games. I'm going to guess they're still playing them.
If I was to hazard a guess, it's because the vole has a lot more competition for food. The elephant's main risk is eating up all the food and having none left. The vole's main risk is having some other animal grab the food first. At the vole's size, and with the vole's eating strategies, there's a real advantage to being quick. With the elephant and similarly sized animals, not really (and also, there's the exploding problem).

There's also the problem that a skeleton doesn't get stronger at the same rate that a body gets heavier, so a larger animal is going to have to avoid rapid accelerations in order to not break its bones or sprain its ligaments.
It's a risky move to embrace your competitor's platform. Once this tech matures will people prefer SSH to RDS/WinRM? Will people write software for IIS or will they use WSL to deploy their Apache/Nginx config? When enterprisey software starts shipping with a WSL requirement will admins decide to move to Linux where their software is a 1st class citizen?

Why would you choose to be Windows native when its much easier to go cross platform starting with Linux?
> In behaviour tree terms par/or is parallel selector and watching is a interrupter node.

I see the resemblance, but I'm not sure if that's a perfectly right analogue. The description in your third link says the parallel code truly runs in parallel. However, Céu is concurrent but not parallel, making the concurrent code deterministic and easy to reason about: if multiple blocks in a par/-- construct await on the same event, they will execute in lexical order (which is similar to the behaviour described in the first link).

For real parallelism, you'd basically have to have multiple Céu programs (devices) communicate through external inputs/outputs.

I guess the real question I'm asking is whether the library follows the model of a synchronous programming language.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronous_programming_langua...

BTW, the intro video is very outdated: on top of the basic par/--- and await construct, the "organism" is replaced with cleaner code/tight and code/await forms to create more complex abstractions:
