Just an observation: Why aren't Lyft's employees using Lyft's ride-sharing service to get to work?

I know that's not the point of the article, but if your company owns ~25% of the market share [1], wouldn't it make more sense to instead give your employees "Lyft credits" (or whatever it's called), and have them use the service on a near-daily basis.

Anyways, the browser may become a delivery mechanism for fat-apps, but it will keep being much more than that.

* we already transpile HTML, CSS and Javascript,

* react.js keeps an entire virtual DOM,

* the web isn't going away.

And if those new fat-apps are browser independent and cross-platform it still seems like a win :)
That's an interesting point.

However, with VB business users who knew a database would come up with applications that served their needs well.

These applications are still all over many companies and government departments.

In general though, these folks wouldn't be able to do the same with XCode and in addition XCode only targets a platform that isn't widespread in business and government.
the funnel in tech is growing and there's drastically more people now than there were 10-15 years ago. if you hired EVERYONE with a CS degree who didn't give up during the dotcom crash, you'd lean young too.
Last year we reported a vulnerability where a default option in Salesforce orgs allows browser session hijacking. They came back telling us that it wasn't a bug, but working as intended, and that bugs like that aren't part of their bug bounty program anyway. Then when we found a public salesforce forum post from eons ago where a salesforce employee confirmed this bug/feature and tweeted it to our clients, they kicked us out of the bug bounty program for disclosing vulnerabilities.
That headline made people read... and your current title is not fully accurate. It is a Delphi inspired Pascal for sure, but not fully compatible, more like a free alternative.

> Google aim to bring the diversity close to the male-female ratio in the applicant pool.

This is a laudable goal only if gender isn't used to discriminate against candidates. Discrimination on gender and race is wrong, period. Discriminating against men, whites, and Asians is still discrimination, and is not ok.

Nobody's going to disagree with you that environment and the individual play a strong role in affecting one's character. These straw man arguments are getting old.
Cool. Insomnia is quite good. I prefer it over Paw (for MacOS only) because it is cross platform and I only want to learn one tool that works on both Mac and Linux.

Something is very wrong here. What other business/industry is there which wants you to use less of their product at a slower rate? (only electricity companies pushing for greater efficiency comes to mind). In a healthy capitalist economy, this shouldn't happen.

Isn't that already happening? Plenty of news sites are already fat apps, when you think about how much code they load to only deliver static content and maybe support comments, very little of the code being useful to end users.
I'm still struggling to understand, what exactly Stallman's social acheivements are. It's not like he is the reason people care about proprietary software and surveillance. No, the real reasons are these things themselves, because — I won't say "all people", but many people understand the dangers and inconveniences of it pretty damn well. I myself perfectly agree with Stallman on many (if not all) of his convictions, but so what? I still use Android phone and many other nasty things, because it's convenient and actually less harmful than making "normal people" around you too dismiss you as some "conspiracy freak". I hate it, but I use it. Not using Facebook alone is pretty troublesome in my social life.

And GNU project software (with a few important exceptions, of course) now feels more like a legacy, than a salvation. It has it's own statute of limitations, so to say.

So I don't see how complaining without actually making a difference helps someone.

Obviously parking is not free. You can just look at the paid lots all around. Or look at the assessment of the headquarters purchase.

You might as well "investigate" whether free work shuttles are actually free.
I met Zach a few years ago when he spoke at a community college in my hometown. Super nice guy and it was interesting to hear him talk about his games. I was quite literally the only one that played his games in the room though.
I found the same issue. I kept looking for a way to set my city.
This is quite bizarre to me. In city centers, very few if any office buildings in any industry offer free parking. My company in Seattle will subsidize our ~280/mo parking by 100. I have never heard of a building in downtown Seattle charging under 200 a month for parking, even outdoor surface lots are around 200 monthly. Is it not a bit obvious that free parking dramatically encourages driving over public transit? Parking demand must grow as a company grows, while its parking structure generally is fixed. Increasing the cost is the only way to effectively manage the situation.

The alternative from my company versus the parking subsidy is a free unlimited public transit card. Most people choose to take either light rail or bus, and choose their living situations so as to take advantage of those options.
I wonder if there has been any work on porting launchpad to work with git.

Agree. I have been with AirVPN for years, after having tested many other of the highly rated VPN's. AirVPN has a functional website, works great within my Linux containers and is overall very stable. Highly recommended.
>We selected participants eligible for mortality follow-up, aged 20 years and above, who answered “yes” or “no” to the question, “Have you ever used marijuana or hashish?” Participants who answered yes were classified marijuana users and those who answered no, as non-marijuana users. Duration of marijuana use was estimated by subtracting participant’s age at marijuana use initiation from the age at the 2005 screen.

So even if I smoked a single joint since I started smoking, I am put in the the same bucket as someone who smokes weed daily? That doesn't sound right. Am I missing something?
I know they aren't a financial institution in the traditional sense but they accept and hold USD while also facilitating transactions with other users.

I'm not saying that they need to have financial guarantees, but it seems like accommodating and responding to refund requests should be something they do given many retail stores, under the law, are subject to similar policies. [1]

> Don't go around pushing pseudoscience in the work place to justify your views

is it really pseudoscience though? it seems reasonable to acknowledge psychological differences between men and women (from your gender identity - not biologically), and he cited sources (I didn't read them, I would hope for his sake that they're credible)

there's no precedent for acknowledging and addressing psychological differences in the workplace though (at least for professional office work). I think basic professionalism is based on ignoring our differences for the sake of having a sterile "just the facts" meritocratic environment conducive to business.

giving the guy every possible benefit of the doubt, I think he's just guilty of being unprofessional, not misogynist. he's also guilty of being stupid for not realizing this was a minefield in the first place and walking right into it without being extremely careful with his phrasing and more sensitive to mainstream points of view. I can get behind firing him for being unprofessional/stupid, but I feel bad for him for the amount of negative press he's getting.

Show HN: Flying Carpet – Ad-hoc wireless, cross-platform, encrypted file sharing
Asking me to pay for parking is the same as saying "please don't come here unless you absolutely have to".

And that's exactly what I do - I almost never go anywhere that makes you pay for parking. Downtown, or to visit congested cities for example. Or to small stores on roads with parking meters.

Are those places happier without me? Maybe. Depends on if they value whatever economic activity I would produce over their poor traffic management.

Would I use public transportation? After trying it for a while in a city that is widely considered among the top 5 in the world for public transport my answer is a resounding: NO!

Public transport is horrible, even when it is the best humans are able to make it. I feel bad for those people who have no other choice, and I am determined to never live in a city that requires it.
I would blame myself for that time I pulled something off my foot and ate it in front of a room of people and a camera.

When were your diesels built? The new (last five years or so) engines are amazing--they've really come a long way with the emissions systems.

I own two diesels: a 1987 Land Rover Defender 110 with a 300Tdi (no emissions controls, ridiculously smokey) and a 2017 Ram 2500 with the 6.7L Cummins turbo diesel (cleaner than I'd ever imagined).

Idk why you're being downvoted. Even if the parties have a disagreement it is usually just superficial. Both are still in favor of things like bombing, for example, both wanted TPP (and Trump killed it, funny enough) and a myriad of other things. They aren't exactly the same, but they are on a lot of matters.
Sorry I didn't respond very timely, but after considering the comment chain, I think perhaps you are right. The irony, now, is my comment was the unnecessary one.
Fair point. I do think that as a male you're not really allowed to say that "prostitution empowers females", it seems that only females are allowed to say that.

One time a woman working at a prominent NGO in human trafficking told me that prostitution was oppressive to the woman. I told her that although that may be the case some of the time, there are women out there doing it by choice. She got really angry at me and went on an emotional tirade.

It's definitely one of those "touchy" PC subjects where honest debate is difficult without being shamed and called "sexist".
Maybe you can teach the "less savvy folks" you know that they shouldn't answer calls from numbers they don't recognize (and also teach them not to give personal information to anyone who calls them). Then the knowledge will spread and there will eventually be fewer victims of these scams.

I think that's more productive than chasing after the scammers. Many of them operate from outside the U.S., so it would be difficult for the FCC to go after them anyway. The best way to fight them is to deprive them of victims.

That money comes almost entirely from a special tax on those same companies. It's like adding a 10% sales tax to each iPhone or Pixel and then giving the money back to Apple and Google to subsidize phones for people in need. It'd be weird to call that "money we've ... given them."

To the contrary, usually when we impose special excise taxes like that we do so to discourage what we perceive as undesirable industries (alcohol, tobacco, gambling, sugary drinks). It's the height of political innumeracy to expect a different result with internet service just because our intentions for imposing the excise tax are different.

This seems incompatible with what I read recently in an emacs discussion on HN, wherein they were unable to merge a popular package into emacs without Stallman's rubber stamp despite him being essentially uninvolved since 2008.
You're right, I didn't read the FCC proposal; I'm basing my information on the article itself. If the facts in the article are that far off of what the proposal itself says, then I'm confused why the whole post hasn't been flagged to oblivion.
Especially in a world where GVFS is a thing (not quite yet), I fail to see the advantage of a monotree over a monorepo with lots of branches and scripting around a MAINTAINERS file.

What's wrong with branches and folders? Why are upstream repositories needed? (My hunch is the answer is just "it's slow with that much code" to which I again say "not when GVFS is ready").

Not to say Linux should change their ways, just that I wouldn't adopt them as part of a company.

If you learn from doing it and enjoy the experience, it's not a waste of time. And if you work at your craft long enough, eventually you'll be the person who can do it better than other people can. But that doesn't come quickly or easily.

For inspiration, read Peter Norvig's article, "Teach Yourself Programming in Ten Years":

https://www.norvig.com/21-days.html

In particular, see the paragraph that begins with: "The best kind of learning is learning by doing."

(Norvig has had a long career in computer science, and is currently a research director at Google.)

Also, if you build a tool for yourself that makes your job easier, it will be a lot easier to customize it to your needs than a tool built by other people, who have different priorities.
But employment in Australia is not at-will, so regardless of their obligations to pay out the notice period they also need to have a valid reason for the dismissal.

https://www.lawsociety.com.au/community/publicationsandfaqs/...

They might have one here, but I doubt it.

Specifically John Cramb (the Australian) was presenting alongside Josh Schwartz the director of offensive security. It seems that one could reasonably establish that John was acting under the directions of his superior, and that would mean that the default position would be to assume that his actions were sanctioned by the company unless they can prove that he knew otherwise.

And even then, they would be expected to provide a written warning, or justify why the violation was so extreme to justify immediate termination (which would be very difficult given he was active under the instructions of a superior).

Base on the limited evidence we have, it seems that Salesforce has unfairly dismissed John, and that the Californian executive ought to have consulted with an Australian HR lawyer before he acted.
Hey stay away, better for us pedestrians.
Staring at the chart, 1980 doesn't seem that significant. It shows from 1970s to 1980s, almost every major has seen an increase in women graduates.

I don't know much about this subject, best I can do is pass around a link(video) I saw that was semi-convincing to me that - there might be some general biological tendencies(https://youtu.be/p5LRdW8xw70). Biological tendencies are not useful for individual cases, so as long as everyone is given moderately equal chance at getting a job they qualify for and can do the work in peace, everything is well and good.
I could see a concern that this would either look like a general partnership where the recipients of funds turned out to be liable if someone got hurt on the property, or else need to be a corporate entity of some kind with the recipients as dividend-eligible shareholders, with all the fun paperwork and tax-reporting requirements that come along with that.

By the way I'm not sure about the capitalistic label. The recipients would do nothing to earn the money, did they?

Even with the restrictions you put in place, SC2's state space is much larger than any board game.

A typical game might last 15 minutes = 54000 60fps frames and a typical map is larger than 10k x 10k in terms of 'coarse units'.

For any given frame of animation there are at least a million valid actions - if you have 10 units then you can move any subset of those units to any place on your screen.
