Since it's a distortion of the market it can't really adhere to free market principles, which (in theory) do not allow that.

It seems we need to agree to disagree at this point.

> I think this is what happens when its all funny money. Uber loses hundreds of million of dollars a quarter and yet big banks have no problem writing them a check for another billion. I'm guessing none of the banks asked what the credit facility was for or even any details about the leasing plan it was intended to fund?

Details were disclosed in this article. I'd imagine the banks underwriting the loan had those details and more at the time.

If the Congo has the Cobalt market cornered. Why can't a business, or the government, leverage that demand to increase earnings from that resource? Or is there cobalt in other areas of the world, but we go to the Congo because we can pay so little?
From what I understand leftist politics in the US would be considered right in the EU. Casual observers of our political discourse from other countries have a hard time discerning the difference between our political parties. I assume this is because in terms of foreign policy, they largely agree.
Up to a point, no doubt - but there is a good chance that the words you know from a language that you do not speak come from a small subset that is known by many non-speakers, so they may appear in cracking dictionaries, possibly gleaned from passwords that have been broken, or because they do sometimes appear in articles written predominantly in your language.

Just for completeness, your strategy assumes the attackers are assuming a particular language - which I would guess is probably the right thing for them to do, if they are looking for low-hanging fruit.

> So why aren't the management layers of tech companies composed of mostly women?

Higher levels of programming may be composed of more work with people (coordinating a team, extracting requirements from clients, etc.), but the lower levels, and the education leading up to there, is tech focused. And it's from there that managers are sourced.
Welcome to the left. Where we are democratic, and suport free-speech, as long as agrees with our views. :)
I was a Python developer for about 10 years before joining a startup that works almost exclusively in Javascript. I had to swallow my pride and make the best of it. I had a huge, smug chip in my shoulder.

ES6 has made the language tolerable. Enjoyable even. It has even been a decent medium for mentoring more junior developers who haven't had any exposure to functional programming in school. I can show them combinators, functors, applicatives without all of the usual ceremony in a more pure language. For that JS has been quite nice.

However for my own projects I just use GHCJS or Bucklescript and compile down to JS. Google Closure and Webpack are fine tools for shaking out the unused code and bundling everything up.
I would think the author would encourage women to apply, but discourage making interview pass rates biased towards one group or the other.
You understood my point exactly. Sarcasm aside, Obamacare is "a proposal from a conservative group", too.

The people who lie about Obamacare are the exact same people who lie about global warming, and the exact same people who lie about Obama being born in Kenya and being a Muslim. Their motivations for all of those lies are exactly the same: identity politics and demonstrating political allegiance.

They're mendacious unsupportable lies uninformed and unaffected by evidence, because they very well know and cherish the fact that what they say is not true, yet they hysterically pretend to believe it, and scoff and ignore all evidence to the contrary, so no amount of appeasement or logical argument or irrefutable proof will change their minds, and they will only Gish Gallop faster and demand even more irrefutable evidence, just to waste your time. Don't fall for their trap.

The bald faced liar who decided to withdraw from the Paris Agreement is the exact same sociopath who said about Obama being born in Kenya: “I have people that actually have been studying it and they cannot believe what they’re finding,” Trump told host Meredith Vieira. “You have people now down there searching, I mean in Hawaii?” she asked. “Absolutely,” he replied. “And they cannot believe what they’re finding.” [1] And there is absolutely no evidence that he ever sent any investigators to Hawaii [2], just like there is absolutely no evidence that Obama was born in Kenya. Evidence doesn't matter.

When ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos asked him about the investigators later that month, Trump refused to say what they had found.

“It’s none of your business right now,” he said. “We are going to see what happens.”

CNN’s Anderson Cooper also confronted him about the investigation that month.

“Can you name even one person who your investigators have talked to?” Cooper asked.

“I don’t want to do that right now,” Trump said. “It’s not appropriate right now.”

Tana Goertz, Trump’s Iowa campaign chair and a former “Apprentice” contestant, said last year that the candidate would reveal his findings “when the time is right.”

“He’s never told you about it? You’ve never asked him about it? It was unbelievable and you weren’t curious about it?” asked MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell.

“Never was curious once, because he’s not a liar. If they found something, it will come out. The time isn’t right, and guess what? Mr. Trump does what he wants and he’s not going to do it on our time,” she replied.
Nowadays it works as widely as on other operating systems, just with the abovementioned performance caveat.

I agree, or just attribute it to not having a "cultural fit."
How many times do we need Rust vs Go vs whatever debates? HN has quite a lot of repetitive discussions, and that's OK. When people get bored they'll stop voting things up.

"I am bored of this" doesn't seem like what the flagging mechanism is for, actually. Or would I be justified in flagging any story about Go because it happens to not be relevant to me and I think there's enough discussion of it already? Seems wrong.
Except that the google engineer this article refers to was not punished or fired for supporting Trump; he was fired for circulating a memo which claimed there were immutable biological reasons why approximately 50% of the workforce was unfit to work in his industry.
I'm surprised greater attention is not focused on the fact the "science" is in the midst of a reproducibility crisis. This is a big issue in the hard sciences; I can only imagine what it's like in the squishy science of gender behavior.

Tying your reputation to such a soft foundation is just inviting trouble.

There's a lot more to elections than tabulation.

Mapping, voter files, candidate filings, canvassing reports, ballot artwork, translations, ballot tracking, etc.

All of it should be open source. The way it used to be. Before the vendors smelled blood. (Especially after HAVA.)

I traveled my state advocating "citizen owned software". Everyone gets that phrasing. Overwhelming support.
Science by definition can't be sexist. In science there is no place for prejudices, beliefs and biases - only facts. It's human attitudes interpreting these facts that can be sexist, racist and so on.
Second, the author didn't argue there are differences between genders or sexes that make one unsuitable for a given task. That's one of the most gross and unfair misrepresentations of the memo.
Probably trying to generate something similar to the "cost per conversion" numbers used in advertising. Nothing particularly nefarious about it.
Do you have any examples of people punished for supporting Clinton? I'd be interested to hear about them; I'm not aware of any.
Correction: half the country didn't vote for Trump. Half the country didn't vote. About quarter of the country voted for him.

We're a small startup using deep learning applied to dermatology images + clinical information to help primary care physicians determine the right diagnosis for skin problems.

We're looking for a strong programmer with experience in machine learning and image processing (ideally neural nets) and the ability to build things quickly and test them for feedback.

Your work will be impactful. Skin disease is a top global problem that doctors are challenged by, accurately diagnosing about half of cases, primarily because they don't know what they're looking at. Just in the US dermatology costs the health system $75 billion each year.

There's potential to move this startup to the Bay Area, California.

Sure, sure. I only rejected the implication that I was somehow ignorant of the factors involved and just la lala painting with a broad brush of simplicity and righteousness that was somehow at odds with your perceptions. Apart from that I'm pretty much in agreement with your opinion. The reality, for most, is that remote is still the black sheep of options and that only if it's an option. I have zero against an open office plan if those that provide them embrace all the options. I am fortunate enough to have exactly this situation. I have a haul into the (open plan) office, which I love (the haul), mostly because I have three pedals and fast roads but the burning of a few of the days hours to get there and back is more wasteful than not. Far too many are put into the position of long commutes and, omfg, astronomical costs of living to get just a teensy bit closer. I think my only real point, apart from providing just another opinion, was that if capable employers embrace these options in totality then the human condition could be a bit better off for it - open plans or not.

These are just opinions, right? Right. We both have valid ones that are actually pretty closely aligned. We seem to both appreciate our fortunate circumstances which are, for the most part, at opposite ends of the "we're fortunate" spectrum. I regret having inadvertently annoyed you, but, in all respects, you shouldn't be annoyed with anyone's opinions simply because they seem to not be like your own. I think we're good here. Are we good here?

in the US a "pension" is a mostly guaranteed (and insured) payment for the rest of your life.

A 401k is a fixed amount of money that you contribute, sometimes with your employer "matching" and it is usually invested in the stock market or in company stocks. It can run out quite easily.

$360 million is, though, a substantial portion of their ~$3b/year of losses.

If I were an investor, I might question how many of these types of decisions were driving losses. The model may depend on subsidizing rides, but there's no reason to bleed more than needed.

With no economic components I'm genuinely curious what you consider the "American sense" of the left, in the sense of actual policy. Pro-choice, I guess?
I find pytest a lot easier to work with, in general, particularly with their approach to fixtures https://docs.pytest.org/en/latest/fixture.html .

> I don't think that's ever happened before, at least publicly.

The left got pretty hysterical about Bush too (did you know he was a Nazi, just like Trump?). I would not be surprised if being outed as a Bush voter would have been considered career-limiting in SV at the time. What has changed in the time since is a dramatic increase in our ability to discover and record people engaged in wrongthink and let our outrage go viral through social media.
I don't think so. _let_ is lexically scoped. What I was remembering was a syntax called parameterize in chicken scheme that would bind a set of values to a set of dynamic variables.
You can see an example of it here: https://github.com/caolan/snowy/blob/master/server.scm#L85
I don't think common lisp has an equivalent (and I'm pretty sure it's not part of rnrs in scheme), but it should be really easy to hack one together.
So, as a male, should I sue someone who (correctly) points out that I cannot breastfeed for being "sexist", and for "perpetuating gender stereotypes"
One exists, the other is meaningless.
Because surely the half that didn't vote wouldn't have voted for him either. So really, when you think about it, 75% of the country voted for Clinton.
Thank god, I was worried I would have to suffer on this idiotic planet for another 60 years
The general consensus is that you're correct.

Mostly dealing with octogenarians+ whom I know; the more active you are (more so socially, as well as physically) the better off you are at living a long and healthy life. Having a routine like a job sets also seems to help human psyche. Your point about vocation that is not stressful, enjoyable, and is lasting satisfies all these requirements.

It doesn't exist. Why, I'm not sure. Would you create that app? Maybe make it so that you can use a Bluetooth earpiece or earbuds with an inline mic? That would be really awesome. If you created it and it worked just like the SpeechEasy you could sell it for a few dollars and make good money. It could be a way for potential users to test the effect in the real world before spending $3k+ on the device.

I look forward to your progress!
Wait, their pensions depend on the health of all the companies they once worked for, rather than some independent insurance company? That sounds like a really unreliable way of handling things.

Aren't those that are making extraordinary claims supposed to bring the evidence?

The idea that, given these premises:

a) we who don't understand even 10% of how the ecological ecosystem works

b) we don't understand even 10% of genes and how they interplay

c) we don't understand even 10% of second order effects of such changes

d) we don't yet have explanation for tons of interactions and functionality in the body (from what triggers cancers to all kinds of lesser stuff)

e) we can't even have a decent dietary advice from medical bodies that is not revised completely every 10-20 years

f) corporations will even put plutonium to kids milk if there's profit in it (and then lie about it)

g) all kinds of industry-sponsored research has been shown to be paid lies

... GMOs are perfectly safe.

It's more like changing various bits in working computer memory, with a ho-hum printout of parts of the program's in-memory structure and a crappy flow-chart of what it does, and wishing that the running program (and OS and such) will continue to play just fine...
> Is it wrong to be against a rational discussion of the benefits of X

Yes, it is wrong for any topic, no matter how immoral you consider it.

If someone of "the other side" is willing to engage in discussion then this in itself already is a huge win since you're not at each other's throats or creating bubbles lined with strawmen blocking the view of the other side.

And maybe you consider the chance small, but they might be willing to concede a few points, even if you're not going to overturn their entire worldview. And you might gain a little better understanding of them so you don't have to attack a strawman and might be able to address whatever underlying issue actually drives them.

Even in actual wars - you know, where people are busy killing the other side - you can still have negotiations. Why not consider rational discussion a negotiation of viewpoints long before you start murdering each other?
You're basically doing it yourself. Trying to dismiss it with adjectives as "half-baked" or "stupid".

The point is, it's neither and I think it deserves a proper dismissal instead of ad-hominems and insults.

Surely there is someone that can perform a point by point analysis and disprove the memo? I have not seen one comment doing that. Not one.

So no, you don't get to say it's stupid and call it a day. Prove it.
> having the votes counted in some hours instead of a night doesn't make a big difference, considering the time that is needed for example, to form a government

Yeah, in the US it takes 2 months to get the new President actually in the White House, no matter how quick votes are counted. They can easily spare a day or two to count everything three times over, the country will not go to the dogs in the meanwhile.

Ironically, timings are much more imperative in Europe, where electronic voting is less popular. Maybe because multi-party governments often require weeks of haggling, so a few extra hours counting votes are not particularly important.

> Science by definition can't be sexist.

Of course. But depending on context the use and quoting of it sure can. I'm sure there is plenty of evidence of physical difference betweeen races, and there are reasonable ways to use those scientific results - and there are racist ways of using them. Doesn't change that

> Second, the author didn't argue there are differences between genders or sexes that make one unsuitable for a given task.

Wow I read the whole thing (which is rare) and that was what really jumped out. I wonder what I misunderstood.
Well, look at Hillary's platform:

The economic components were maybe 1/3 of her platform, and not all of her economic positions were incompatible with free markets.

From the article:

> One of the useful features of this multiscanner is that they allow searching for similar malware to get some context, and in doing so, we stumbled across a couple of files that were very different.

>We noticed that the other files were all uploaded by a similar uploader.

It appears they then automated downloading samples and scanned for content.

From what I can tell, the files were discoverable by anyone that was able to access/search this multiscanner service.

For instance, malwr.com allows the downloading of samples by authenticated users. VirusTotal also allows researchers access to download submissions via their private API[0].

Mass generalizations vs. mass generalizations. Quality debate guys.
I had something similar happen in the past a long time ago on a x86 Solaris 10 mail server. An employee thought it was a good idea to share best quality/full resolution JPEG pictures of his new baby with the whole company. This swamped the mail server (load average was well over 700) while it chugged through delivering a 50mb email to 200+ employees. I forgot what process was the culprit (I think GNU Mailman) but after a couple of hours it finally settled down. I was amazed that could still SSH into it and figure out what happened.

"That being said, it's never a good idea to get on a soapbox about politics at work (or anywhere really)."

The difference, presumably, is that people inside Google are already talking about all kinds of other political issues on internal message boards. They want to believe they're different, that they're in a new kind of enlightened environment where politics can be discussed by reasonable people without danger.

But this is ridiculous. It's easy to talk about things for which there's wide agreement. You don't even notice those things as politics. It's only politics when you disagree.

I don't suppose the human beings at Google are any better at talking about this stuff than any other human beings. If they want their workplace policies to reflect that, then fine! But there are a whole bunch of implicitly accepted leftist positions that they shouldn't be talking about, either. That's the hard part, because, again, they don't even notice those positions as politics.

Here are some Google executives saying exactly this:

Just as Uber and AirBnb are slowly revealing why we had hotel and taxi regulations in the first place, this Google case shows why our grandparents established those old-fashioned ideas about politics in the workplace.
