In the last month I have hired 4 people in specialist technical roles. I reviewed 15 CVs. All were from men. No women applied.

There is clearly something filtering women out. There is something deep in the supply chain of labor (by which I mean education) which results in women being siphoned off long before they hit my company's diversity and inclusion policies. I believe these policies are reasonably effective at tackling unconscious bias, but they are unable to affect the underlying talent pool.

My personal theory is that specialisms are risky (good pay if you can find employment, no pay if not), and men are more likely to take risks than women. There is research to support the latter point. Casual googling digs up this for example: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/James_Byrnes2/publicati...
You are misquoting the article linked, greater than 120db is definitely audible depending on the frequency and the listener. Even at the frequencies they mention (25k being the highest), those are still audible to many humans (myself included).
Obvious fix is for IBM to put Watson on a blockchain /s
I've only tried Blue Apron once. I was watching a friend's cat while he was out of town, and I grabbed his most recent order so it wouldn't go to waste.

I don't remember which recipe it was, except to say it was a chicken recipe - probably with quinoa. Six of the eight steps included "Salt and Pepper to taste". Fortunately, my wife and I both cook regularly, so we knew that would have been a terrible idea.

I only seasoned the chicken once, and nothing else, and the dinner came out great. My friend cooks often as well, so I assume he just skips the unnecessary steps if they show up as well. His wife is just learning, though, which is why they were using Blue Apron. I'd have to assume she may end up over-seasoning from time to time if that's how the recipes normally go.

As someone who already eats home-cooked meals almost daily, I couldn't imagine paying that price. But overall the idea makes a lot of sense, provided execution is perfect. It seems, reading the rest of this thread, that hasn't been the case of late.

Now you are advocating for freedom from consequences of speech by enforced ignorance.

> Please see my comment above about the way things used to be in America

Color me shocked the world was so agreeable when there was less diversity in people with power and the conflict was not about their essential worth based on unalterable traits of gender and race.

> generally speaking political disagreements didn't devolve into calling others Nazis

It doesn't now either, excluding the anonymity provided by the internet. I've had a lot of conversations about politics where me and the counterparty disagreed, I cannot recall one instance where someone called someone a Nazi to their face. Twitter is not reality.

> That sort of extreme partisanship can only result in unpleasant consequences.

Even accepting your premise...unpleasant for whom? Change is never pleasant.

The cell phone ringtone didn't make sense to me when people started using it. Sure, the teachers can't hear it, but they can see an entire class wince simultaneously.

Plus, there's a lot of teachers in their 20s who can hear it just fine.
> "In the data-science community the sense is that whatever Watson can do, you can probably get as freeware somewhere, or possibly build yourself with your own knowledge"

Any suggestions about the freeware?
Fair enough. Salesforce has enough money that they can afford to pay the minor penalty for violating this.
I use Firefox Mobile as well but to be fair extension-support is flakey. A lot of times I install an extension that doesn't work and nothing indicates whether it does or doesn't. Also the extensions store doesn't indicate whether and extension is mobile friendly or not.
No worries. I didn't take it personally. I just wanted to clarify that I wasn't trying to ask the "obvious" question- I was asking about way more subtle things. Actually, I wasn't sure I would get a response if anybody knew that there was a way to tell. But I decided to ask anyway.

Unfortunately, I don't think you can say it works when a simple HTML import fails with no error message and the UI just hangs up. I'm not doubting that it works for you, but I think the bar for "works" is higher when you're trying to build a product. Emailed you the file that fails for me and hopefully you'll be able to find a solution.

I tried it once. Having half of my ingredients arrive either opened or spoiled (and I started my entry into the world of jobs as an apprenticed oriental chef) immediately turned me off.

The Hyperscan website (https://01.org/hyperscan) says it was built by Sensory Networks Inc, and then bought by and released as open source by Intel. No mention of IBM. Are you thinking of something else?
If you break into someone's home with the intention of causing irreparable damage, why not just poison them? What's the point of using a fancy high tech device?

You can get the same frequencies pattern in the first link that I linked if you click on "Try the original sequence — Neural Hack" in the text or if you set all the slider to 0 except for the yellow one.

The website recommends : "Use this sound generator as you like. It probably makes sense not using all sliders at the same time. Start with all sliders set to zero, then select the slider(s) that mask or blend with your tinnitus best. Set their levels to the minimum setting, mixing to your tinnitus so you can just hear it. You will then achieve the most efficient masking sound and the lowest fatigue. When using all the sliders, make sure to try the Animation feature, set to its maximum speed. The effect is interesting."

> There's no particular reason to tolerate it forever.

> Rail against it all you want, it's a losing battle.

All moral argument aside, this is only true while you're winning. "I don't have to try to persuade you, so suck it up" can enforce ideas, but doesn't spread them. So if there ever comes a day where 51% and rising of people disagree with you, the reason to 'tolerate it' is that you don't have a choice and you've burned all the bridges that could have gotten you somewhere.

I'm not even saying that to condemn using the tactic. More than 99% of Americans accept that the Holocaust happened. I am fully content to leave the <1% of deniers on the wrong side of history, and hope never to deal with them. (Though even there, we ought to be mindful of vigilance and outreach. Without communication, without teaching, that number might well rise.)

My point is only that it's incredibly common for people to find ideological bubbles where they mistake who is going to lose the battle. There were plenty of communists and Confederates and fascists who trusted that their opponents just had "a personal problem" and would lose in the end. If an idea has been discussed "for decades, centuries even", are you really so sure that the arc of history has finally settled matters in your favor right now? Are you convinced that you're guessing better than the people who considered the matter settled 50 years ago? 100?

Burning goodwill to root out dissent in your strongholds is a thing to do after you win the larger battle. After November 2016, it is absolutely baffling to me when people on the left say "they're history, they lose, the time for talking is past". That was not the result, that is not who is in power. And so I do not want the time for talking to be past! I think that might go very, very poorly for a lot of people I quite like!

I'm not claiming that women are better at pair programming, but that is a positive connotation that can be drawn.
Absolutely. Not sure how its handled by cloudfront, but make sure you 301 redirect from http to https. And if you monitor your traffic in Google's Search Console tool (why wouldn't you?), you have to set up the https version as a completely separate site. Data for the http site is not reflected in the data for the https site, and vice versa.

Even if it were, if it "wins" the pagerank contest it should be represented in the results accordingly.

I don't go to google for a human-curated yahoo-style directory service. I go to google for search - specifically for pagerank-style search results.
Most shells let you do some arbitrary work before/during the display of the prompt line (in Bash, you can use `PS1` and `PROMPT_COMMAND`). Some people then install special fonts that let them render these fancy “bar segment” things. [Powerline](https://github.com/powerline/powerline) is a notable package for this, but there’s a lot of simpler alternatives out there nowadays.
Well, in that case, whatever you do, don't use SoulSeek and browse the libraries of others: http://www.slsknet.org/news/

Anatomy of a Job Description
There is a key difference. In all of those "normal" crimes, the action itself was unequivocally a crime, whereas with discrimination laws, the action is only a crime contingent on the intention / what the employer was thinking, which is borderline Orwellian in my opinion.

Seems like AI has been over-hyped for decades, just rarely with someone as prominent as IBM leading the charge.
It never ceases to amaze me how many "journalists" still deride the Gawker lawsuit. Are they offended that they cannot publish anyone's personal sex tape without permission?

Keep in mind, a celebrity did not have enough money to take on a shittly little website in a lawsuit, so even he had to find another backer. Imagine if Gawker decided to publish your private info. Would you have enough money to defend your privacy?
One of the downsides is managers think we don't do anything all day as they can't stand over us monitoring for efficiency, so insist we are available at a whim on Slack, which makes Slack the new open office where you have to stop reasoning about what you're building and answer somebody's meme post on Slack or a manager's musings that would've been an email in the past you could reply to later. To me this is just as great as disturbance as the door opening to the foozball and video game room with a crowd of people yelling.

What is art?

IMHO:

Dance(able) music, like all music/noise, is about altered states of awareness.

There's sometimes something wonderful about reggae, house music, chanting, work songs that can change your frame of mind.

But then again all music (genres) do that for me.
We mostly have 2 people/office. We would have done individual offices but the office space we found to rent was perfect except the offices were larger and so it was a LOT cheaper to use the existing build-out.

It is working well. People mostly are heads down getting their work done. So add Windward Studios to the list where all developers get offices.

How do you make any business decisions when taking things this personally?
If there's an externality, I'm all for addressing it. With pollution, there clearly is. However, for discrimination, there are two issues: 1. challenges to freedom of association. 2. The fact that it is a thought crime, which I discuss in other comments on this thread.

Also, it's easy to hate on corporations, but these laws also apply to small family businesses, startups, etc.
That's an incredibly misleading title for an article about someone's succession plan and desire for his business to stick around.
The whole class may have winced, but I guess it'd be harder for the teacher to pinpoint where the sound came from.
This attempt at summarizing the research is innumerate, disconnected from empirical data, and offensive. Research on gender and IQ does not show that "there exist fewer females with high IQ" --- even stipulating the validity of the research Damore is leaning on, that's now how the statistics work. And there are an enormous number of women in STEM: the concern is that there are few of them in computer science.

Before you attempt to reason from basic principals to a defense of the status quo, you should attempt to fully understand those principles.
> A self-signed cert could be supported and effectively trust on first use like SSH

Hopefully needless to say, it's a bad idea to blindly connect to SSH hosts without verifying the fingerprint. (Of course, everyone just types in "yes" because they're lazy). You have absolutely no guarantee you're talking to your server.

Hostile wi-fi networks, firewalls, ISP's and regimes mess with plain HTTP all the time. A TOFU "trust model" would make that a commonplace reality for HTTPS as well.

For what it's worth, verifying SSH hosts should be much easier than it is. For example, every cloud provider should display the host fingerprint after creating a new instance.
As an interesting aside, anyone who is interested in this stuff should check out the Omega Tau podcast(http://omegataupodcast.net). In a recent episode(#247), he went in depth with Dr. Hoffman about his research and the uses of BMG materials.
American democracy is over, it is impossible to make governmental change in a way that benefits the public. We are left with different billionaires battling each other and the rest of us hoping that some benevolent billionaire will take up our cause.
Torrent sites are also serving this need, but the barriers to entry are high. There's not many (or any) distribution channels for some of this stuff today. If you're looking for some old screamo that was only released in small numbers on vinyl, good luck finding it. That's an extreme example, but really we're talking about preserving art here. Some art has millions of prints, some was one-time performance art. The music industry will only sell you a very small % of what has been created.
bad edit should be: 500kt would still have

The 100% kills zone is surrounded by a much larger 99-95% kill zone. Militarily 98% = total destruction, but when you start talking about 100,000 people you need several 9's.

The research on this tells a pretty dismal story. They seem like they should be better, but people almost universally report preferring the slums that were torn down to build them.

Communities that grow organically look messy and gross. And there's a certain personality type that wants to come in and fix the mess.

But it just doesn't turn out to work that way.

Thanks for -J, that helps a bit but is not what I want to avoid :(

More context: the server in question is running gitlab in a docker container, and users should also be able to SSH into the server. Now I have to run either gitlab or the host sshd on a different port, which confuses users and often enough leads to problems with git clone (the syntax is [git@git.my.tld:22222]:path/torepo.git, which is accepted by bash but people insist on zsh and other shells which break on the brackets)...
The problem with remote work is that you need very competent managers who understand the work deeply and can keep things together. From my experience there are not too many managers who can lead a remote team competently.

Yeah, except that the frequency pattern for ACRN needs to be centered around each person's particular tinnitus frequency, which the mynoise generator doesn't allow.

I am not in the industry, but just off hand testing a crazy spy device on embassy staff of another country, on your home turf, in a way they would notice it would seem to sort of let the cat out of the bag.

Maybe they got what they wanted but it seems like it would be strange to test it like this, particularly when the folks using it might be easily identified (assuming it is Cuba).
You don't realize it until you focus on it, but walking around a city, even a relatively clean one like Boston, how much of the air is full of exhaust. City busses that don't run on natural gas spew huge amounts of black smoke, it's disgusting. I can't wait until electric cars take over, the air is going to be so much cleaner, even in dense urban environments.

In my comment I quoted the CEO saying many parts of the memo are open to discussion. Discussion and debate comes with responsibilities, and one of the responsibilities per the CoC is that you do not intimidate or harass other employees.

Is it unreasonable to say you are not allowed to intimidate or harass other employees?

> be afraid to express.

They should be afraid to express an opinion that violates the code of conduct. The code of conduct values some things over others, and a workplace free of harassment and intimidation is more important to Google than making sure no one is ever afraid of expressing an opinion. It might well be the opinion of some engineer in Google that all blacks should be called niggers. That engineer should rightly be afraid of expressing that opinion no matter how deeply held that opinion is, and no matter how many other employees share that opinion.

> the people holding them will be further radicalized.

On the other hand, isn't customer service the one big opportunity remaining to Twitter? They could bring back the text message system for paying businesses. Revamp Tweetdeck into a tool more focused on reputation management etc. They don't need to chase the celebs and fandoms away but they are gradually leaving anyway. Journos will likely stay, the ticks make them feel big.
For most of the time, I'd be totally cool with an electric vehicle (this has changed in recent years as ranges and cold-weather performance has improved dramatically). However, that time when I'm traveling off the "grid" would be an absolute nightmare.

For example - taking a vacation up in the mountains. No power, limited direct sunlight for solar, and your car is your lifeline. Or cross-country travel that isn't on the highways (i.e. no superchargers every 100 miles). Limited to 400 miles in a day, and required to stay at a hotel or spot with a plug in. Or someplace not in the continental US - for example Alaska or Canada.

That said, I think my ideal theoretical vehicle would have an all electric power train, and a gas turbine generator for those long trips. Best of both worlds (combustion and electric).
So why is Wayfair on that bar graph? Their stock has been doing just fine since the IPO.
