Where is the evidence that any of these biological differences actually do cause women to choose tech careers less? Sure there are links to studies about the differences themselves, but that's it. And in fact, if you look at the changing makeup of Com Sci majors and programmers over the last 60 years, it seems to be a slight possibility at best and disingenuous at the worst.
I always keep my seatbelt fastened while sitting in my seat.
I love how my every comment relating to Damore gets downvoted to crap by randoms. I guess the alt-right idiots are brigading HN to push their agenda now.

But then, they talk about being "repressed" by the "liberals." Bunch of whiners, really.
While this isn't about DAO, its true that recourse to courts undermines a central tenet of smart contracts, hence as you say DAO people would probably insist the code is the contract, until a problem occurs.

In fact the DAO fork brings up another problem which applies to Bitcoin too - the developers (and miners if a POW coin) are de facto arbiters of the fate of millions, and if this sort of system were to gain widespread use, would have enormous power, in fact they already do even if you think the coins are overvalued. They decide if a fork is justified, a change will be adopted, or a tweak to algorithms to discourage certain behaviour. They become in some ways a parallel system of government/law without accountability. For all the pretence that people can just fork the project or choose another client, we've seen how hard that is to pull off, and how much influence is retained by the central developers of such a project with the recent Bitcoin Cash fracas.
I am surprised more states do not have laws like Hawaii's where you are required to provide beach access. Shame for such a nice beach to go to waste.

Thank you! =)
They do. He ignores and contravenes them.
Maybe I'm Pollyannaish, but I'd hope Amazon would not give bank details to a federal office and instead hold out for a subpoena or search warrant or court order.
I can see his point of view, though: as a rich man, he should be able to do what he wants, and lay claim to this beautiful stretch of the Pacific Ocean.
This is a common belief, but it's not correct. You have to both grip and pull upwards, otherwise the net lift is zero and you will die.
I agree with your main point, and know you added a small disclaimer, but this team is the most put together team I've ever met. Every time I've been with them they've been hard at work making things happen. Any time our team needs something from them we get it.
Forgot to mention it was mainly indexes I was talking about, and they are cash settled.

Single stock options tend to be settled with actual stock, and at least in Europe tend to be a lot less liquid. And there's other problems with trading them, like other people knowing a lot more than the market maker about what's happening. You also have pin risk which seems to be like a magnet.
making the same request with headers that match a signed in account?
Wow. Close call. I was about to get the same lens from the same seller about a month ago but at the very last moment I thought I can wait for a few weeks to see some more reviews of the seller come in.

I was thinking about getting defective product shipped etc but never thought I could have faced such a sophisticated scam.

But you only tell us about one of them!

I imagine it differs from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. If the law merely states something along the lines of the takedown notice having to contain the copyrighted work, the name of the copyright holder and some kind of assurance that the copyright holder is in accordance with the content of the notice, a DMCA takedown notice might qualify. Language could be a problem, but it would probably be hard to argue that you were unable to process a takedown notice written in english if your site is doing business in that language (which won't apply to every case, but presumably the majority).
All of my fantasy maps start with drawing the Giant Star Turtle
How is it similar?

I worked with a guy circa 2002 who emigrated from Russia in the 1990s. He was from a fundamentalist Christian sect who had _all_ his teeth knocked out by the butt of a gun in a Russian prison. This would have been sometime in the 1990s.

He was a good engineer but pretty abrasive, and ended up leaving on his own accord. But even _if_ he was fired for expressing his unorthodox political or religious ideas at work, I doubt he'd equivocate it with the treatment he received in Russia.

All these senseless equivocations do everybody harm. Supposedly liberal college students do something similar with their micro-aggression framing device; it's not reasonable in that context, either.

We can debate Damore's points endlessly. But at the end of the day plenty of women still suffer old-school sex discrimination across the board. As that disappears, I'm pretty confident we'll have less reason to discuss more abstract discrimination issues.

Basically, if you disagree with some of the approaches utilized by the left for addressing discrimination (and there's plenty that reasonable people could disagree with), then the most constructive reaction is to redirect the discussion to more concrete, historical manifestations of discrimination.

Most ideologies on the right and left are constructed of poor equivocations and metaphors. And the so-called culture war is just an endless escalation in the sophistication and depth of equivocation and metaphor.

It's like in programming. Most debate is pointless bike shedding once the discussion is divorced from a reproducible bug or well-articulated pain points. Which isn't to mean if it's not clearly reproducible that a problem can't exist; just that if the problem isn't yet empirically grounded you can't have productive discourse. Equivocation rarely helps in this regard. If you have to resort to equivocation you've all but conceded that the problem lacks the necessary qualities which make it amenable to solving.

If you can't have productive discourse, then there are better ways to spend your time. There's no dearth of reproducible bugs or well-articulated pain points, in programming or in society. And people are always free to put in the hard work of empirically grounding a debate. Unfortunately, discrimination research is inherently tendentious because of the nature of the problem, which compounds all the other shortcomings of economic, sociologic, and psychological methodologies. But it's not impossible and we should encourage people to take up the challenge. Part of that encouragement is to criticize pointless equivocations; to make it clear that they're not an acceptable substitute.
Ya, Peter is on here regularly and is generally pretty friendly. I'm sure he'd be happy to give you some direction. https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=petercooper
You ears are likely deceiving you. The traditional explanation of the pronunciation rules, which widely appears in textbooks and Japanese pronunciation manuals, is absolutely correct, and also in line with what is normal for human language (e.g. how do you pronounce "input" in normal speech?).

But if you still doubt, I grabbed the first three audio recordings of "tempura" I could find in videos. All are very clearly bilabial nasals (i.e. "m"):

Don't give them ideas
I concur. I don't use safari because it feels worse. I felt the reason was I couldn't easily identify where my tab was supposed to be easily without reading. Many websites these days do not provide super great titles.

Although I do kind of wish some of these browsers supported the ability to switch tabs similar to emacs and give me a full view to select and search between tabs. It would also show the favicon.
I frequently see people suggest a chargeback as the first option. I have seen people suggest it instead of even trying for an RMA. I have seen it suggested for delayed delivery.

I have no idea about the frequency, but I have reason to suspect some are quite frivolous.

Like you, I believe it should be the last option. I'm just not sure that we are the majority.
Bill Gates Disappearing Computer Has Arrived
Well this one is not really a skill, but quite a useful guideline or precaution to follow - and consistently:

Make your actions reversible (as far as possible). Had learned it in the field, later also saw it mentioned in a sysadmin book.

I can't count the number of times I've seen colleagues just blindly charge ahead and do, for example, non-trivial surgery (a.k.a. edits) on important system config files (in a haphazard, lets-see-if-this-works manner, without so much as making a backup copy of the file), which sometimes resulted in screwing up the system further, sometimes irrevocably (because, you guessed it, no backups - or no current ones, anyway). And yes, on production systems. Got a few stories about that, may mention them some other time.
I had something similar happen about a year ago and it was a really bad time. I purchased some hard drives from a third-party seller (claimed as new, seemed reasonable in price, but huge mistake in hindsight, I know), and they arrived fine. The problem was, the hard drives were not what I ordered, and were almost certainly used (scratched up a lot).

I requested a return, and had the seller provide me a shipping label, I sent them back, and never got my money back. The tracking showed that the package was delivered, but because the seller had provided me a label that didn't require a signature, Amazon said they wouldn't give me my money back, as the seller said they hadn't received the item.

At this point, I left the seller a review saying what had happened to me, and a few days later, I visited the seller's page, and noticed that my review was gone.

Not only does Amazon provide really shoddy support for people that have been scammed, they actually help protect the scammers in a way, by allowing sellers to remove a couple bad reviews from their page every month.
I don't think they necessarily can, in the interest of fostering a welcoming and safe environment for students to learn. Example: "Let's not be scared of having an open, honest, and frank discussion of how Jews have caused the decline of the country."

Do you see how ridiculous that sounds and why a university could not in good faith legitimize the proponents of that theory? Now I'm not saying all issues are as black and white as that, but it's clear to me that there is a line that needs to be drawn somewhere. Any particular issue probably has differing opinions on whether it crosses the lines. But anything that is abusive towards women, minorities, trans people, etc. as people is dangerous ground and I can't argue with not supporting that.
Well, the current research only shows weak tendencies that admit to wide variation. It shows what /is/ and /has been/ not what /could be/.

One thing that really bothered me about the memo is how Damore kept repeating that those he was speaking against believe /only/ culture and environment lead to differences. That he was more enlightened and believe that other things like biologically based preferences might have an effect too.

Well, of course, human beings are a complex interplay of biology and ecology and self-determination! The question is one of where the balance is when talking about individuals up to company size groups. I don't think anyone would argue against biology having some effect on behavior. But there are still open questions about where biology stops and environment begins; how much an effect can self-determination within and individual and the group can override those biological and environmental aspects to radically change outcomes (a distinguishing feature of human sapience is the ability to reflect and change, after all.)?

I am not saying Damore is lying but he sure chose what aspect of the truth to show very carefully which, in some ways, can be worse. It gives the veneer of reasonableness and logic but, in only showing part of the picture, hides the greater truths.
The source is the same as the previous source.
There are times I've literally taken half an afternoon off to go somewhere, knowing that when I arrive I'll be sitting around for an hour and a half, because this seems better than traffic. And 99% of people never have that option. It's just gotta be a massive factor in daily stress.

As a society we need to get over the ass-in-chair-9-5 mindset and allow remote work and weird hours to combat rush hour.
Agreed, but it should change. On iOS the OS can kill the browser for you so you may still want that page you didn't kill.

On the OS quitting the browser should reset it back to a normal state that doesn't include the private tabs you had.
...and all the indie musicians that monetize with Bandcamp.
man, the fact that a witch hunt didn't result in the target becoming poor/homeless/imprisoned/mob-beaten, etc. doesn't make it to be not a witch hunt. It is just a result of not everybody participating in the witch hunt. As you pointed out, the US society is [God bless that] far from being single-minded/totalitarian , and thus it is hard to make everybody to participate in the same witch hunt.
A combination of Bitcoin, Ether, and fiat. But they could easily liquidate tokens or buy more to change their holdings structure.
That's another experience I'd love to live, open ocean storm, giant waves. Unfortunately I can't seem to come up with a way of doing it that doesn't statistically shorten my life expectancy considerably (unlike turbulence in an airplane ;)
And it's because of dumb non-programmers that we have 12am immediately following 11pm. If we were to, instead, recognize the beginning/middle of the day as 0, the am/pm transitions would be sensible.

Starting at 0 is almost always correct, teaching people to start counting at 1 isn't. Why do we continually come up with convoluted workarounds simply because we educate children incorrectly?
Off topic: I love Axios - they have some top tier journalists, and I was introduced when Dan Primack (from fortunes termsheet originally) moved over. They do great newsletters on politics, m&a/VC, tech, and the future of work.
Reported. I think at one pooint GH has to make a decision if they want to kick him out or not, especially when paying members are reporting
text-zoom isn't a web feature, it's only a feature Firefox/Gecko has.

Servo doesn't implement it either, only Stylo (the confluence of Servo's style system and Gecko). In Servo mode all the code for text-zoom becomes a no-op.
Better hope that Intel Core 2 Duo P8400 doesn't run the Intel Management Engine
Kind of, though C++ is a difficult language to use from anything other than C++ given there's no standard ABI. Either you need C++ glue-code wrappers around whatever language's FFI you actually want to use, or you embed Clang.
I actually find that highly unlikely. Look how fast Damore has been involved with the conservative media. That aside, if he was really convicted in his opinion, do you think he would take the money?
Can you elaborate on this? What part does she agree with? What are her thoughts on this Quora answer? https://www.quora.com/What-do-scientists-think-about-the-bio...
Soundcloud does a great job at frustrating me by suggesting lots of great tracks I'd love to play which I can't find available for sale anywhere. I am happy to pay for high-quality downloads via beatport / juno / bandcamp etc., but my experience with Soundcloud has been that it's rarely worth bothering to look. I don't really understand what's the point of good music discovery for previews only, if I can't get at the actual content.
So consume content from providers you trust.
As informative as this article was, and it does cover some useful Civil Procedures, the headline is something I might have expected from the Daily Mail. That alone makes the entire thing seem rather disingenuous.
I’ve been a Firefox user since 0.93, with a year or so in the middle when I was forced to use Chrome as my primary browser because I was needing to run it from a USB drive and Firefox was just too slow from a USB drive. (I could switch back with Firefox 4.)

There are really good reasons for the move to WebExtensions, technical, for security and for performance. I was intensely sceptical of the timeline initially announced, but as a Nightly user I can report that November is actually sounding very reasonable now.

Not upgrading your browser leaves you insecure, and within a year or two websites will start breaking on you. In little things of design, mostly, but steadily more and more. Oh, and you’ll miss out on the continuing performance improvements of the Quantum project.

(Also, what would you migrate to? Even without XUL addons, Firefox is still going to be better for what you want than all the mainstream alternatives.)

Any particularly major recommendations for a reader?
That is truly awesome.

First story: The Fireman by Ray Bradbury
That's probably true, though I'm not sure that's enough to assume the gender of the offending party.

Tangentially related, and not white collar, I once had a car stolen by a female. No damage was done and, being a silly old man, I didn't press charges. I was kinda surprised that it was done by a female.
"Telling the truth" <- that's the problem, you've just made the jump to a conclusion: he's 100% right, and everyone saying he might be wrong is just an angry liberal who doesn't want to accept reality.

Maybe there's way too much socially driven discrimination right now to jump to conclusions about him being "right"?
Yep, we're going to fix the UX on that ASAP, thanks! Currently the 24-hour date assumption is a bit confusing.
Yeah, also it is not averaging well given geographic constraints, so the 4, 7, and 10 distances are the same(ish) for all directions except north and south and directly along i90, which makes their distribution seem oddly narrow
Yes, my enjoyment is entirely conditional upon not being immediately in the company of people who don't enjoy it all, like most other activities.
I was thinking the same, just what Soundcloud needs..... :-\
Seriously improving public transit and reducing car dependency would also help a lot.

(How bad is rush hour traffic in major European cities? I'm not sure.)
Where I live (not USA) the bus company uses those same buses for other purposes through the day. So recharging them fast is very important.
I also find it intriguing that both under my account, and under a incognito anonymous, it never hit the front page of reddit either.
Why stop there? As a rich man, he should be able to replace his failing liver by claiming yours.

Alas, he can't in either case, because we the people have created limiting the unchecked exercise of power.
Sorta, English got it from Japanese, which got it from Portuguese, which got it from Latin. There are other words with similar trajectory.

In this case it is a romanization of an old Chinese-style Japanese transliteration (pre-katakana, so it reads as nonsense) of a Portuguese transliteration of a Latin word.

It's not even a round trip like anime (Latin -> ???->->->??? -> English -> Japanese -> English); but even anime got a proper romanization, it just turned out closer.
it's not eugenics I swear
Tell me about it, I looked shortly after we launched Pastery and saw 100,000 pastes and was ecstatic at the response, but then noticed that some were spam. I deleted all the ones that had spammy terms, and was left with 53 pastes :(
At risk of duplicating, thanks. I thought it was some company.
Are you including the time to get to your final location? Or just from rail station to rail station?

Are you including wait time? Or assuming best case scenario?
>My enjoyment of using Amazon as a buyer would increase by like 100% if I could just tell it to act like anything not available through Prime just doesn't exist to me.

So you check mark the little box on the left that say "Prime" and it removes all non-prime listings...
Well I'm surprised too that people would believe that this marks the end of soundcloud, as the end of soundcloud happened when they preventively deleted many DJ sets in anticipation of a future licensing deal with labels circa 2014, when the labels gets in the picture to take their share of the money usually marks the end of the website. The deal failed, in turn failing the exit option to be bought out for a hefty sum.
Then the soundcloud purge happened in 2015, then as expected soundcloud was losing millions and faced financial issues.
Then the agony continued and still continues, as if it didn't know that soundcloud is already dead.

Maybe it will be bought by AOL or yahoo to prolong its agony further.

The DMCA is a US law, so, anywhere outside jurisdiction of US law. GitLab on a C1 Scaleway instance would probably get you pretty far along the way. The lists really aren't that large in size but there are so many requests. It may be better to build in something like [WebTorrent](https://github.com/webtorrent/webtorrent) to propagate updates.
By itself, any software performs no functions. Software is just instructions, and a config file is, too, just instructions. Sure, a difference is whether it's instructions for hardware or instructions for other software, but that doesn't sound material to me. Especially when hardware can be emulated by software.

However, circumvention tools (software or otherwise) require suing, not merely issuing a takedown notice, as another commenter pointed out.
....yes?

But not in the "hide content you've already sent" sense. However, a script that verifies credentials and only then accesses content using those provided credentials sounds like "access control technology".

My reasoning is simple: if I block the script and still see the content, it's not access control; if I have to run the script to see the content, it is access control.
Fairly certain it wasn't even remotely illegal before 9/11/2001, after which it probably did become pretty illegal (for the opening of the cockpit door).
It sounds like you don't understand why he was fired. Hint: it wasn't because of his beliefs per se. It was more likely because of his repetition of gender stereotypes that impeded his ability to work effectively with his peers.
Or, more constructively, go after them in the EU, where such practices would surely be illegal under the so-called cookie law (which is actually about storing information in a user's browser more generally, and not specific to cookies at all).

As long as that really is what they're doing, of course.
How would this help in the long term?
