When I called to change my address for an old work Fidelity IRA years back, the panic in the advisors voice, as he informed me I'd no longer be able to contribute to the fund, was kinda funny. Considering I'd never personally contributed to the account in the first place.
The comparison `==` is basically something you should never use. `this` is confusing for most people, etc.

That said, it's fairly easy to avoid these problems.
But it also makes sense "from the first principles": BTC is wildly deflationary right now, so there is a very strong incentive to hold BTC instead of paying with it. It's a flip side of "sheltering from the inflation" point that is quite popular among BTC enthusiasts. You can't have one without the other.
Good news, everyone.

This isn't "society," this is just the left. You will notice the right elected the "grab them by the pussy" guy. I'm not concerned because I'm not a leftist, so watching the left destroy itself only makes me more hopeful.

This episode is going to be a shining example when the conversations return to media bias. CNN, for example, referred to this as a "sexist manifesto" and an "anti-diversity manifesto." Meanwhile the actual memo mostly suggested that if Google wanted to make the company more appealing to women they should offer more part time positions because women tend to choose a different work life balance than men, something that is statistically provable. You could hardly be more benign. I think the right-wing phrase "hate facts" is going to start leaking into the vernacular.
> you are paid what you can be had for

> No lawsuit is needed to correct that.

If they can either get Google to settle or convince a jury they deserve compensation, they've retroactively increased their pay. It's a high and expensive bar, but if they clear it they get paid more for work they already did.

So to put it into the perspective you're espousing, these women are simply negotiating their rate after the fact.

Related problem: sites that don't let you paste into the password field - either when setting a password or trying to log in. To the people who do this: what do you think you're accomplishing? It's not going to stop somebody brute-forcing your site, and you're making it difficult to use a password manager.
There is a tidal wave of used cars coming into the used car market due to substantial subprime defaults, including these Uber vehicles.
In practical terms, that's still not very many. GPUs can do 2 GH/s for a simple hashing function. Your 44 bit password can be cracked in 4 hours by a single GPU, or in minutes by a cluster.

A large KDF helps, but damages user experience and again starts to become fragile if your threat model includes ASICs (a $3m expense or so for an attacker. That's a practical sum for many applications).

To put things in perspective, a CPU can do about 2^20 hashes per second. A $3m ASIC cluster (made entirely from scratch) can do about 2^52 hashes per second. It's obscenely asymmetric.

For high security accounts, you really want like 64 bits of entropy in your password plus a KDF, or you want 80 bits without a KDF.

KDFs have another major problem. If you forget a word in your password, and you also have a KDF, you have to fight your own KDF to discover that last word. You don't want that barrier.

edit: was off by a factor of 1000 in my ASIC math. $3m in ASICs can do about 2^52 hashes per second, not 2^42

You don't need to speak a language, much less be fluent in it, to use some words from it in a password. Although I am not fluent in any language other than English, I know words in Irish Gaelic, German, Japanese, Spanish, and some other languages. It's easy to use a word I know in one of those languages as part of a password. (I do have one password that does contain a word from a language I don't speak.)
Speaking as a designer who works close with devs. I think a lot of people championing remote work who are remote workers themselves don't seem to realise how frustrating it is working with them.

Fumbling around getting them on call every meeting, having to have them ramble on about something wasting peoples time if they misunderstand something because they're not in the room and we're all too polite to just tell them to shut up and move on, having to take special time out of my work to go on a 10 minute call that could be sorted in 20 seconds standing behind sometimes desks.

It's a very engineer-centric idea that they can just solve everything remote but if you're building a product that relies on design and more human focused work it can be an absolute nightmare having to work with a remote engineer.
I wish I worked there, I do miserable tier 1 tech support. The reason I am promoting their browser is because it has the exact functionality the parent comment was looking for.

One doesn't need to be an expert in a particular field to identify a weak argument.

For example, the author of the memo presents some citations to back up the idea that there are biological differences between men and women that might explain why more men than women choose to work in tech. I don't find that idea controversial.

However, none of the citations provide any evidence that the degree of biological difference between the male and female population is sufficient to explain the relative gender balance we see in tech.

I don't need to be an expert to notice the lack of evidence for that part of the argument and conclude that the argument is poorly made.

It is possible that such evidence does exist and I would be interested to see it but that would not change that fact that this memo, with its cited evidence, failed to make that case.
I always wonder what kind of magic those websites do with the string. Hashing has become so simple. When you hash you don't have to worry about special chars (encoding issues though). It's only when you have bad practices that you should worry about ;") in the password field.

Are the little devices that change the PIN or passphrase every 30 seconds the most secure way to lock access? It seems like having to have the right code at the right time was more secure than having the right code at anytime, but I wasn't sure why they weren't rolled out en mass. Is this not the best method of security?

> conversion from AC to DC at the charging port may account for another 10-30%

Simple rectification has not so much loss, I think you are thinking about low voltage DC power supplies, and I think that chargers for large, high voltage battery piles are likely to be happy with rectified (maybe doubled) mains supply.

The low voltage supply is first rectifying the input, then using an inverter to generate high frequency AC, then rectifying and filtering this to give a DC output.

At some point we will be synchronizing password files with dozens of MBs, and one day you will want to login to something and won't have access to your passwords. There has to be a way of building transparent AND strong authentication.
I'm basically you, but for music.

The same way you like your video content to be high quality and have devices that allow you to enjoy such quality, I want to do the same for music. I have a high quality sound system and I want to listen to lossless music.

And subscription services are not even an option. Neither are the popular music selling services (iTunes / Google Play Music / Amazon). Luckily, I listen to a lot of electronic music, so I can pay ~$0.5 dollars more per song to get lossless quality on Beatport[0] and Juno[1]. My free estimate is that I was able to chase down ~30% of my music collection in lossless formats[2].

> I believe any language that supports "any" allows this. Doesn't Kotlin? https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-any/

Kotlin's Any is pretty much the opposite of TypeScript's any. In TS it disables type checking completely (according to the docs). In Kotlin it's the top type (similar to Java's Object type), which anything conforms with, but doesn't expose any operations at all (except for the stuff that the JVM provides for free).

The closest match to TS' any would probably be C#'s dynamic https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/programming-g....

> Me? Well, I've told many coworkers that I can't work from home because I wouldn't work from home. There are too many distractions at home, so I need to be at the office to be productive.

That's kinda on you. Discipline is something that can be learned. When I first started working from home almost full-time, I found it quite difficult to separate work life and home life - I deliberately set up an office space in my house that only had my work laptop, and work essentials. My home machine and all my fun toys were elsewhere in the house. By doing this, it helped me focus on just doing work related stuff - any time wasting I did do, was on par with what I would do in the office anyway (reading tech sites etc).

Over time, once I got into a routine, I reintroduced personal stuff/kit into my work space, and although my productivity took a bit of a drop, I also knew I could fully focus on work if I had to.

He made a mistake thinking that actual diversity in opinion is accepted. This is nothing but a witch hunt because people don't like his viewpoints, or think his viewpoints may "offend" protected groups.

It's bullying plain and simple, which I absolutely abhor. And I won't entirely fault Google for it. In this case they're just a proxy through which certain politically powerful groups exert control over those that dare dissent. They're in a tough position in-between the whole debate. And as accepted, they've chosen the historically-accepted solution to this problem: Pander to the offended. Nuance or fact are irrelevant.

Like one of the other posters mentioned, this will only embolden and give ammunition to the other side. I.e. the one that is bullied by this action. When we can't have reasonable debate on touchy topics, you only breed resentment. It will blow up eventually.
>> The document, which was widely condemned as misogynistic and scientifically inaccurate

>Citation needed? Have The Guardian actually read the memo?

Well, they were quite clever, weren't they. They didn't make any claims about the document itself, just about its reception.

And so what they write is technically true, the memo was widely condemned as misogynistic and scientifically inaccurate, even if those condemnations were completely wrong.

And of course the impression the sentence gives is that the document was these things. Journalists are good with words, they do this sort of thing all the time.

I used to read "Der Spiegel" a lot, one of the premier German weeklies. And I used to take what I read at face value. Until they started writing about stuff I had first hand knowledge off. Which tended to be comically inaccurate.

And then I started looking more closely, and noticed that they would pull these little language tricks all the time: giving an example, then an absolute number of one thing, comparing it to a percentage of another thing. Creating impressions and "causal" connection between events or facts by simply mentioning them next to each other, without ever making the claim. Etc.

It is actually entertaining to analyze, but don't expect to get too much useful information.

And no, I am not yelling "Fake News", most of the alternative news sources are far, far worse, not relying on linguistic trickery but just simply lying.

Anyway, the ones that do this the least (that I know of), are the Economist (their pro-finance, pro-CEO bias is transparent enough not to be much of a problem), the BBC (they actually really try hard) and Die Zeit (German).

Fun!

EDIT: An important "not" was missing. Sigh.

Mithril is nice. W.r.t. going for batteries included, it's still a bit minimal for my taste. Personally I would lean towards something more dogmatic, in the spirit of Rails.

You're right that skills gained from learning Mithril will be more widely applicable to general front-end dev than Ember.

> If looking for a US company, the likes of Vanguard and Charles Stanley will freeze your account if they find you reside outside the US.

Ugh, this is maddening. I had a Kafka-esque conversation with a Charles Schwab dude whose scripted answers almost comically changed when he learned that I lived in the Netherlands. It was fine at first, even with the understanding I lived abroad. But their deceptively advertized "expat services" only apply to Americans living in HK and UK.

It wasn't as bad when I called Vanguard, aside from the non-answers they kept giving me at first (they kept saying it was against US regulations and illegal, which I know to be false; when I pressed, they admitted it was purely their own company policy). At least she wasn't literally reading from a script and took the time to check with some supervisors.
