What I (and I suspect others) want to see is proof of active discouragement, rather than the lack of encouragement.

The link between wealth, marriage suitability and social status is well observed for men, and in stereotypical pattern boys are pushed towards professions which maximize the potential for high income. Since society do not measure the value for women on how much money they bring, it follows that girls are not pushed with the same fever towards high paying jobs except if local situation causes families to do so by necessity (which is one explanation why certain countries have higher ratio of women in typical high paying profession).

I have the theory that if you want to get equal amount of young girls and young boys in STEM careers you need to remove focus on how such choice can lead towards high income. It would not increase the encouragement for girls, but fewer boys would be pushed in that direction and as a result the difference between the sexes would decrease.
No. Basically the Intel ME is a completely separate ARM processor that's physically stuck onto each Intel Processor. It has direct access to everything the Intel chip does. The memory it's allocating, the hardware commands (ie keyboard, mouse, display), the software running, the processes running. This all happens at a higher level than the actual Intel processor and you have no control over it at all.

Basically whatever you run at any level on your Intel chip can be monitored by the Intel ME chip, no matter how many VM's, operating systems, encrypted files/processes you have installed/are using.

The Medical/Pharmaceutical/"Therapy" have gotten away with too much shenanigans for way to long.

They shouldn't get any more free passes on ethics violations.

Ethics--yea something that used to exist, or did it? Not in my lifetime. The bastards can do whatever they wish. They can do practically anything. Right now I have one doctor who won't refill my prescription. A drug I have been on for a decade. He can't be bothered? I don't even care anymore. Just know it's all kinda wrong.

So since they have been given a free licence to abuse the vulnerable, and uninformed for way to long; they need to pay for their Art of whatever.

A good first start would be legalizing all Drugs except antibiotics. If people want to kill themselves by self diagnoses--so be it.

I really use to have so much respect for anyone involved in healing professions. Now--they just look like people who want to take my money. Ironically, I wanted to be one of them, but deep down inside knew so much of it was a fraud.

Governments usually are just as competent or incompetent as private companies. The difference is that governments work transparently and are held accountable. We just don't see all the incompetent things happening in companies.
Damn, that seems pretty bad. That said, could this be a problem with the Startup Battlefield mini site or do you think it's common practice across TechCrunch as a whole?

Part of me cynically thinks the latter, but another part of me thinks a lazy developer could have taken shortcuts with what they saw as a less important part of the site. Either way, it's bad news and I hope they address it soon.

QED. Also see the recent Bitcoin cash fork, and the severe volatility caused by the speculation in the currency, which is a problem for anyone holding it.

A Bitcoin warpwallet, not so much.

I disagree. If it lives on a server a warrant will force them to give it up, if it lives on your computer, a warrant will force you to give the physical computer up (which can then be destroyed or kept indefinitely). It is thus as trivial to seize as the places it is stored, and as your physical being is (pretty trivial).

No I don't assume that. I had more in mind the example of a user wanting to donate to wikileaks, and credit card companies deciding to block these transactions. Bitcoin prevents this from happening.

I agree it was useful for that, but mainly because laws have not caught up with reality. If this were a widespread problem there are of course lots of avenues governments could use to shut off the funds, not least simply outlawing bitcoin, wikileaks, or both. I'm not saying that to be pedantic, but to point out that you're using technology to solve a social/legal problem. It may work for a while if it is not widespread, but laws are enforceable even against unbeatable cryptography because everyone lives in physical space.

If you want true change in your relationship to government, bitcoin won't get you there, because though it seems superficially useful for avoiding government scrutiny, it doesn't address the fundamental problems with it.

> OTOH, should companies profit off hate speech or Nazism? No!

I really hate this point. I was (am) a "webhost" and also happen to be a staunch free speech advocate. My rule when I owned my own company was if I didn't have a court order and the content wasn't blatantly obviously illegal (e.g. child porn or outright specific calls for actionable violence) you stayed on-line and I would vehemently defend that right for you. As expected, as you gain such a reputation you tend to draw some really shitty people.

I will tell you that the "problem" customers cost far more than they ever made, and it wasn't even close. These were customers I truly despised, but I would actually be subsidizing their platforms due to those opposed (e.g. ddos attacks, constant support phone calls harassing my staff, fishing expedition warrants that needed to be fought, etc. etc.) intentionally costing me money in an attempt to shut down their speech. I found those actions more contemptible than the content they were opposed to - and much of it truly was vile.

This is not a profitable segment of the industry to be in, but I still feel it's an extremely important line to never cross and am saddened by the state of telecommunications as a neutral platform/common carrier today. We've lost so much in less than a generation.
Upvotes are considered "don't flag this". See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15023498

The silencing happens because there is a huge left/right discrepancy on this site and because silencing your opposition became acceptable, due to victimhood culture.

One thing I would be very curios to know is the age distribution of people advocating silencing and no platforming.

I suspect that younger people support this due to the helicopter parent style they were more likely to have grew with, where the parent suppresses anything discomforting for the child instead of letting the child deal with it on it's own. So when that child grows it's normal for him to demand 'the state' or 'the corporation' to do the same thing, because only his comfort and views matter.

They didn't. It took them a significant amount of time, it's just very hard to

much, much easier to polish the procedure for final publication.

> came to hackaton and developed out of thin air what startups with teams release crappy versions of in several months.

This "thin air" took significant amount of preparation. The hackaton product
is bug-ridden, resource-hungry proof of concept that can't serve more than
a handful users, crashes badly on slightly invalid data, and cannot be
maintained in production (data backups? recovery after server crash? user
management? logging? status monitoring?).

Not to mention that topics for hackatons are chosen specifically to suit well
the form of making a PoC in two days. Useful things usually do not fit this
time frame.

Maybe it will be beneficial. It's not going to be a cure, though, it will be something for specific case profiles, and to be combined with other treatments. There are studies which are there, and they say 'no clear evidence', 'may slow the growth', or 'potentially important'. You are talking as if it's going to be a replacement for oncology, and are getting downvoted correspondingly.
Note that the OS doesn't argue :)

But actually, it would be cool to have some kind of warning, like a POSIX linter that warns the user something broke the standard, and they can decide to ignore it and never hear about it again. I'm not a big fan of linters, usually, but it would make sense for end users tweaking their system.

Sorry, I didn't want to give the implication that you were lying, just that you almost predicted what would happen.
"Ask a female engineer". That headline in itself implies that there are differences between males and females, as the memo states. Why would I otherwise listen to the opinion these engineers have over any other?

I'm from Sweden and our universities have fought for years with getting more females to study IT. Same goes for senior highschool. And it's not only to get you to study, it's while you study as well. Benefits just for women. Courses just for women. Meeting people from business, just for women. And so on. The last discussion was about whether women studying IT should pay back their study loans, even though the education itself is already payed for.

I think the questions we should ask ourselves are, is this improving diversity in opinions and thoughts? Is this beneficial for the field? Does this improve the state of the companies within IT?

Otherwise we're just pushing one gender over the other, for no particular reason, except gender. Choosing people for their gender, over their thoughts and performance is sexist and horrible.

It's a private project, but basically:

A PHP endpoint that received a POST request of some sort, and then I would return something based on that, a very primitive REST service and a C# application would act accordingly, and it would log the data to a MySQL database. It was meant to allow us at my old job to keep track of who used our computer lab, it wasn't meant to be overly secure on the front-end, if they figure out how to break behind the application we weren't worried about those cases, only the case where our database was compromised.

I think the more important bits of my interview were just our overall conversation, the code just showed I wasn't all talk really. He liked the answers I gave and the rest is history. That was 1 year and 1 day ago. Still working at my "first real job" as most people call it. My previous job was part time and at a school so I didn't do many programming projects.

I have been out of the loop for awhile, however in the nineties we had a dial in system at work we used for guards to report when on site and when leaving a site from work. We relied on ANI data from the phone company which contained the actual number the call was placed from.

Surely the phone company has this data and could compare it in flight to what is being passed along as the caller id information which I was under the impression is wholly separate data. If anything do so smart phones could see both entries and flag suspicious calls

Only this case, despite following the syntactic form, has nothing to do with this pattern.

For one, it's not about signaling superiority (which is what the pattern is all about) -- it's merely advice. The sayer (?) is not claiming they are exciting themselves, just that being bored is a sign of not recognizing opportunities to be engaged with something.

(Also, in the general case, the presence of the pattern or the snobbism of the one saying it, doesn't mean it's also wrong).
> If a telemarketeer has to pay for setting up a call, rather than the end-user for accepting it (no matter how small the charge is), then placing millions of automated calls all over a sudden start costing money to the marketeer

They do have to pay money; initiating a call isn't free.

The receiver has to pay a tiny amount of money if they're not on an unlimited plan, but it's so small that it's not worth considering separately from the annoyance of receiving these calls in the first place.

Performance compared to what? Same power, Same price, or just the performance of the fastest processor of the series?
I would add, if you do answer the phone, don't say "Hello" or anything like that. The automated callers are looking for hints that someone is on the other side of the line and give up easily to get to the next number, where a person would usually spend a couple of seconds to check if someone answered the phone properly.

Nowadays if I pick up to a silent line I usually just hang up.
