OK it looks like there is a biological factor to gender based on DNA and genes. There is also a social aspect of gender that creates gender identity roles.

I think the social aspect should be called gender identity, and the science/biological gender be called biological gender. That way they don't get confused.

I've tried to ask for scientific proof of all of the different genders and got voted down anywhere I asked. I was told that gender is a social construct, etc.

So this is something that has scientific and social aspects to it, and gender is more complex than a simple black and white model, as these new social roles of gender is a spectrum of grays or colors.

There was a discussion on HN about a list of genders, and I collected from Facebook and other sources to make this list:
https://github.com/orionblastar/genderdata

Over 150+ genders that people identify as hope I did not miss any. Feel free to email me or add to the repository via forking and pushing.
Had an idea while reading the story: if I worked for Lyft during that time, I would have created an app that made it simple to rent out your "owned" spot to fellow employees. It would be easier and faster than the Facebook group, with built-in payment.

The cost for the app? Parking space owners have to let me use their space for one workday a year, with a prearranged date of my choice. If everybody signed up, I would have a space almost every day, free of charge.
They're going for Mom, apple pie and so on :)
But one possible explanation -- Trump is a "Washington outsider." If both sides are cooperating to keep up the farce while not damaging the status quo, then _both sides_ would need to resist Trump ... because he is unaware of the game and hasn't committed to playing it.

Could be a great opportunity to send a message to the voters, "Hey, don't try putting outsiders in here."

(None of that is meant to take away from the crazy mistakes the Trump administration has been making. The Mooch!)
APIs are a long standing name for the set of all .NET constructs (classes, structs, delegates, interfaces, methods, properties, events, fields).

In total, the .NET Framework has about 15k types.
So this is the way Google ends (or at least comes down a peg or two): Not with a bang or a whimper, but the angry muttering of a horde of 'progressives' chewing on each other for not being 'progressive enough'.
This site seems to me an imitation of sitebuilderreport which was featured on indiehackers recently [1]. The design and copywriting are similar. OP, was your site inspired by sitebuilderreport or are you connected with that site?

There is no real reason to pay developers (or anyone really) over $200k to be perfectly honest. At $200k/year, if you are valuing money over intangibles you are making terrible life choices imho.

The exploit name certainly has sexually violent connotations to me. I imagine that anyone who has been sexually assaulted would feel very uncomfortable working in an organisation that condoned such language - something like 10% of the population.

I'm not condoning firing as a response - that's as thoughtless and unimaginative as the name. And perhaps the name isn't even if reason for it - that doesn't seem to be clear. But come on guys, try to stay classy.
What about Kickstarter? A $500 million+ company that takes a 5% vig on all transacted funds can effectively be replaced with a few lines of code.

I somehow found a pastebin with a link to the full study: https://pastebin.com/PjpuFS5U

It should be noted that this particular study doesn't claim the 'thing':'people' differences are biological, just observed. He does mention something about 'pre-natal testosterone' but that doesn't appear to be in this study.

edit: found http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0018506X11... which suggests pre-natal hormones can influence interest in STEM occupations.

this one talks about finger lengths influencing interests which is kinda cool: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0191886910...

Awesome! Great to hear.
I've pretty much automated my startup ( https://discoverdev.io ) to work on their infrastructure. And the best part is everything comfortably fits into the free tier.

All the collection and curation happens in the backend (on my laptop), get jinja to generate the data into a html and in a single command goes live! This product has been a life saver. No monitoring, cacheing, or any other headache.

Virtual hi-fi to the people who make Netlify.
Makes sense to me. I'd assume that an org the size of the FSF would have pretty standard imaging procedures. If Stallman doesn't need or want to deviate from, say, the FSF-wide Trisquel image, then why should he?
Harvard President Lawrence H. Summers being fired in 2006 showed that there could be no rational discussion of this topic. Sad to see it unchanged in 2017.

Doubly sad because if the anonymous survey linked in the post is true, 1/3 of Googlers agree with the memo. Only 1/3 "strongly disagree", and the people who wanted him fired should be a further fraction of that 1/3.

Take a look at this:

Apparently, and paradoxically, greater eqalitarianism in a society can result in higher amounts of individual choice, which can actually exacerbate inherent differences between groups (if you believe they exist).
> This is not how "affirmative action" works. "Affirmative action" states that if you have two "equally" qualified candidates you favor the least represented in your society or company. Thus there should be no added risk.

Your definition of affirmative action is not entirely accurate. Affirmative action does not kick in merely as a tie-breaker. In practice, affirmative action almost always causes a better qualified person to lose out.

However, that's fine. We have to take a long term view of the benefits of affirmative action. So corporates, especially those not under as much scrutiny as the Fortune 100, are not automatically incentivized to do this. Which is one reason why mandating it by law might be worth considering.
I'm really sorry. :\ That is absurd.

You should be able to find remote work that pays £50k+ relatively easily. Although the whole Brexit thing may make that harder. :\

To me, £70k was more a geographic / economic area issue. Under $50k/£50k you just have to get out.
Also, could somebody explain to me what is the function of FCC in setting those "standard" speeds?

> This would also be the first time that the FCC has set a broadband speed standard for mobile; at 10Mbps/1Mbps, it would be less than half as fast as the FCC's home broadband speed standard of 25Mbps/3Mbps.

I mean, what that "standard" does? Is it prohibited to sell connection slower than this? Clearly not, since there tons of home internet offers slower than 25/3. So what is the meaning of this standard, what consequences does it have? Of course the press, who is supposed to inform me, is too busy trying to propagandize me and forgets to explain what that all actually means. Could fellow HNians fill the gap?
>Being a talented and experienced programmer is the foundation on which the rest is built.

I think that is sometimes true, sometimes not. Certainly there are mediocre developers thriving because they are good communicators. I see this often in niche spaces like "POS software for Pet Stores". They thrive because they can communicate well with the customers and create something that does what the customer wants. Even if the internals are a horrid spaghetti mess that's inefficient, took longer to write than it should have, is hard to maintain, etc.
Would not it be better to explain why something is a propaganda and what is its purpose rather than block it?
>Even with the restrictions you put in place, SC2's state space is much larger than any board game.

That depends entirely on how you represent it. You're forgetting that there are plenty of AIs that actually play the game right now. They just don't use the same kind of "interface".

>For any given frame of animation there are at least a million valid actions

That's Google's marketing cool aid. "Actions" that produce the exact same result cannot be meaningfully counted as separate actions, especially when you're trying to compare them to board game moves.
Mother nature does seem to roll the dice more when it comes to men. People then look at the outliers to the right and scream sexism while completely ignoring all the outliers to the left. There are many more profoundly stupid men than women. Men are incarcerated at a higher rate. Men kill themselves at 3x the rate of women. Yet this is quietly accepted.
If you're using the app, I know you can choose a server instead of "Auto". Not sure if it does the pings.

You can bypass the app. I've identified some servers that work good and are close to me and just use a separate app with the profiles/configuration I need. (You can use the built in VPN on your OS or use the OpenVPN app directly for example if you want).

There are options.
funny, I have no idea if this is true, but this was the "common knowledge" among hunting/truffle dogs breeders when I was a kid.

Something like "if you want a good nosed dog get a female pup, if you get a male it might be a champion, or terrible". It would be fun if this was true, and also applied to people.
Your mindset of the power assist might be different from what the regulation 25 km/h ebike embodies. It's meant to help you uphill or keep moving forward with low effort, not boost your speed while you put in a lot of physical exercise.

(in Europe you can get 45 km/h pedelecs too, but you may need traffic insurance and be banned from bike lanes)

We use netlify for quite sometime with Hugo and we loved it.

Today, we use firebase hosting which is significantly cheaper and comes with its own CDN and free Google SSL. But I don't get CI from my git repo - I have to compile and push. Which I personally prefer.

But kudos to Netlify - I hope they realise that the value is not in CDN or CI or ssl certificates . But rather in building a CMS for static websites.
Yeah and the telecoms are going to charge for each device... with my home connection. I can serve all my devices locally from one trunk... With mobile I have to have a data plan for each device...

>I don't think the disagreement in the case of the memo is about facts.

Neither do I, see footnote 2. However, the article this thread is responding to was talking about factual decisions, so I stuck with that assumption.

>At this point, I think more and more scientists would prefer that science just be left out of politics.

By all means, leave politics out of science [0], but we need science to inform are politics. Otherwise, we just get more of the raw ideology that is the very reason you don't like politics.

Science should not be left to just the scientists. They do the hard work of collecting data and running experiments. But mostly, they end up answering very specific questions with varying degrees of confidence. Once they have those answers, they guess at broader implications. These are informed guesses, based on their knowledge of other highly specific results and thinking that others have done. However, this latter part of science is far more accessible than most people realize. So, instead of actually engaging with the science, they simply appeal to the scientists. This is made even worse because they are attempting to understand the conclusion without the argument, and so will tend to misunderstand. Further, since the general public almost never engages with the actual science, politicians and activists have near free reign to misrepresent the results.

[0] Mostly, the question of what to study should be a political one, but politics is so corrupting that I see no problem giving scientists a lot of insulation from it.
Some people like the kill switch. I just think remote port is easier to setup.

This whole "disruption of silicon valley" from a financing perspective is pretty compelling no?

Even it smart contracts on ethereum are used for nothing other than the facilitation crowdfunding coin offerings, it would still have "shebang".
Great to see Mono increasing reach. I bet that Xamarin team with MS backing will slowly make it the default tool for decent cross-platform development. C# is amazing, AoT performance rocks, there are bindings to all the native UIs.

It's also mature enough nowadays, so I'm going to use Mono for future projects.

Some fat apps have a bootstrap that caches the core application in localstorage or some other facility. It may not be a solved problem for gigabyte sized apps.. but it is in concept a problem with a solution.
No, they have dropped the requirement, see the source.
> That leaked internal memo from James Damore at Google? The one that says one shouldn’t expect employees in all professions to reflect the demographics of the whole population?

I don't see how this is an unreasonable argument to make. There is a dearth of male kindergarten teachers, for instance. This doesn't mean the school is being "sexist". It might just mean that certain genders tend to be attracted to certain types of professions.
Pressing Alt brings up the conventional menu bar, at least on Linux.
Are you without access to the Internet or to Google? Your original question was:

> 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.

I'm not particularly interested in getting into a link-fest fight that will ultimately stall at a No-True-Scotsman appeal. I took issue at your apparent complete obliviousness of violent attacks originating from the right-wing. Are any of the incidents I've mentioned sufficient for you and all those awful incidents you have in your head but can't be bothered to find the links to?

Oh what the hell. Here's another one for you: "Couple charged with assault in shooting, melee during UW speech by Milo Yiannopoulos"

http://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/crime/couple-charge...

Oh, I guess that doesn't count as a "mob", because apparently when members of one group of protestors shoots another protester in the stomach, police swoop in and shut everything down. Do you imagine that if the police weren't there, that the right-wing protesters (including the ones carrying and firing guns) would have amicably resolved things?

I don't expect to find scores of examples of angry right-wing mob action. The winning side tends to have less reason to protest or lash out. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you are aware of angry anti-Obama protests and retaliation that happened back in 2009. But let me know if you are equally oblivious of such incidents and I can search the news archives for you.

As a registered Republican, I can only imagine what my reaction as a Democrat would be upon hearing of attacks on Obama supporters. I would hope that my reaction would not be to assume that such attacks were coordinated by Senator McCain/Governor Palin, or use such incidents as a sweeping indictment against the Republican party. It's been several hours since you claimed that there were "so many" anti-Trump attacks and yet you've still only been able to come up with that one link from the Mercury News. Save yourself the effort, I can think of several incidents in which Trump supporters were harmed, but I'm not the one who was ignorant of such incidents nor do I deny that such incidents, whether they involved angry words or actual violence, were considerably harmful to the victims.

But -- looking at the most recent election cycle -- it's hard to ignore that the most direct examples of a party's leader sanctioning violence comes straight from Trump himself, which is why a lawsuit accusing him of inciting violence has been allowed to go forward:

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/apr/3/trump-campaig...

http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/both-sides-blame-tru...

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2017/04/03/th...

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/get-him-out-racial-t...

Again, not a mob action since campaign attendees far outnumbered the protesters, meaning that a few punches could put an end to the protests before things descended into a riot. I don't think that makes the situation better.

So, are you now aware of attacks against Trump opponents?
Every business that sells a tiny amount of product in a huge amount of packaging.

The reasoning is the same: by keeping the cost per unit as low as the customer will tolerate, you make more profit without building out more capacity.

If most customers of an ISP are currently on a 10 Mbit/s connection, do you think they'll pay 100x for 1 Gbit/s?
While his plan may be to sue, what grounds do you think he can sue for?

There's no right to free speech in the work place. If he was fired for something he wrote on his private blog, or discussed with coworkers at an off-site bar, that might be different.

If he does sue, Google will have little problem showing that the employee, through his memo, has created a hostile workplace for women at Google.
When I'm hiring I don't care about age, but I do care about you keeping current and being conversant with the general stack that we use.

That said, I'll also consider you if you don't know our stack as long as it's clear you've been keeping current with 'something' and that you're a great coder.
My feeling as well. In my heart I am really happy that Lazarus (and Harbour, the Clipper-compatible compiler) exist, but being rational the days of desktop applications are over.

Python is being run on microcontrollers these days; I actually wrestle with the non-adoption of Python (or Ruby, or Javascript, or Tcl) as 1st-class citizen language for desktop and mobile; it does not make sense for me. Certainly writing desktop/web apps in C++ or Pascal make even less sense.

Perhaps I am forgetting the big number of fellow developers that work on ERP systems and outdated software, for them it is a blessing to have free tools, while in the 90s such a tool could cost $3k.
Our university forces us to change the password every 150 days. It is such a pain in the s, because there are too many apps on too many devices need to update the password. I asked the IT department, can you guys consider to stop this and find an alternative security policy? The answer is no, because this security policy is in the state law.

How do you not get IP vanish to work? it's literally just a windows installer & reboot. You can manually add a server on Android too using their guides (they have step-by-step pictures!). O.m.g.

At the moment nothing comes close. Theres are lots of 'Me Too' frameworks but they don't give enough extra benefit to make it worth switching.

In the future we might see something coming out of Rust, there's a nice HTML template api which is typesafe and an ORM called diesel which is also type safe and could give ActiveRecord a run for its money.
Then then why would affirmative action lead to less capable employees?
I do, actually. But I really like to keep a history so I can later recall what I looked up (or sometimes, the other way around: I need to look at my history).
I think this is related with the XY chromosome. Because you have the Y instead of the X you have a part where you don't have 2 genes to encode a feature. So there is not gen dominant and recessive. This leads a more variation when the Y is passed to the offspring. This is the example I read when I was reading about this: if the parents are X5X7 X6Y (where the number represents a feature that is not in the Y chromosome). The offspring could be X5Y X5X6 X7Y X7X6, but the feature is expressed as the average of the numbers: X5Y=5 X5X6=5,5 X7Y=7 X7X6=6,5. The women are more close to the average (6) than the men.

Why is the feature expressed as the average? If one gene is recessive and another dominant only one matters. So it could be expressed like this: X5Y=5 X5X6=5 X7Y=7 X7X6= 7 where there are no differences between genders.
Yes, I know, but then we should have some procedure to prevent idiots from becoming judges.

You know how users never read error messages? I suspect they never read period, they just copy and paste various things and have no real idea of what they're doing, no awareness.

Just last week we had the CFO complain that the kept being notified about something despite having clicked on the button that "makes it go away". The button was grayed out and disabled.
