>The content of their shitty messages is irrelevant

To you, but the president endorsing a group or legitimizing the cause of another is not irrelevant.
Most of these are agreeable enough. "Unconscious bias training" seems like a bit of a stretch, but I haven't taken it to know whether it's helpful. 2, 3, 4, 6 are fair, I'd say.

> 5. Consider salary transparency

This is a double-edged sword. While good for some things, it is not without cost. For instance, seeing a top performer's pay can be motivating for some and demotivating to others. And others' performance isn't always immediately clear so it may be that other workers don't see higher pay as 'just,' which will cause them to devalue their own work because, "what's the point?"

To resolve this, you can flatten pay but then you remove the incentive to perform well. You can separate people at different paygrades into different physical locations, but now you're segregating performance groups while harming overall open communication.

> 8. Don’t force female coders behave like men to be successful

I'd say success is acting like a good coder -- regardless of gender -- just like it says in the conclusion:

> “Overall, to become a female developer, you only have to do what any other smart dev would do. Spend weekends and late nights in front of your computer, laying down lines of code, debugging and developing your personal projects. Follow tutorials, read articles, and learn on the fly. Master the lingo. And, if you are curious enough to go deep down to the core of what you are trying to build, you will need to acquire a large and useful understanding of computer science. In a nutshell, spend time to learn all you can.”

I don't see a lot of places discussing the concept of trial hiring (i.e. giving someone fair pay for actual work to skip the bias inherent in interviewing and judging them based on some preset metrics). I feel like this would get around the problems highlighted in this study: http://blog.interviewing.io/we-built-voice-modulation-to-mas.... At my company, we use trial hires and we have a lot more women involved as a result.
I'm not related to Uber in anyway, but being a man with a longer tenure in a company shouldn't be a reason to discount someone's opinion (or possibly in your comment's case, hinting that they were the reason for toxicity).

Right, it should be. So GoDaddy et al would get more than just bad press if they suddenly decided to unlist gay rights websites.

Which brings me to my point. Protected classes are arbitrary and discriminatory in themselves. Did you know that it is not possible to discriminate against someone under 40 based on their age? Only people over 40 are a protected class for age discrimination. Why should the protections of the law only apply to those deemed worthy of protection?
Everyone agrees with that. The problem is with the semantics of that statement i.e. who is a Nazi and who decides who is a Nazi? Anyone can call anyone a name and then ban them for being that. That doesn't mean the person in question actually is that thing.

This is why instead of names we should use verifiable actions IMHO. Are you calling for acts of violence against people of another race y/n? Are you attacking and injuring people y/n? Are you destroying public or private property and entering into acts of vandalism y/n? Are you telling people they are worth less because of some attribute they can't control like skin color, sexual orientation, etc y/n?

We can pretty much all agree on this stuff. It just gets problematic when you start throwing labels around and basing policy of off that, because everyone has a different idea of what some label means. For instance, Nazis were a socialist workers party who preached a large and benevolent social welfare program, but many socialists or social democrats would be offended if we called them Nazis even though there is much overlap in many of their particular policies. The same is true of conservatives who could also be broadly labeled as Nazis since they may tend to be more nationalist as were the Nazis.

Again its just a flawed way of thinking about the issues IMHO.
First, congratulations!

Second, don't try to "time the bubble". Instead think about your goals. What do you actually want, and what is best for you (and your family if applicable). What's going to make your life more meaningful? What would make it a better story if someone were to tell it?

If cashing in now and moving someplace cheaper is in line with your goals, then do it!

If staying put and finishing off the mortgage is a better match, then so be it.

Lastly, financial independence doesn't have to mean not working. I'm still 10-15 years away from that point, but I certainly plan to keep working well after I have enough to retire. I'll just have a bit more flexibility in what I choose to work on.

There are hundreds (thousands?) of registrars you can choose to do business with. Meanwhile, there's only one power company that's run lines to your house, only one water company running pipes, and you have a choice of 2-3 ISPs if you're lucky. Those are utilities. A random business service provider with hundreds of choices available on a competitive free market is not a utility.
Quote from Conclusions chapter of Manufacturing Consent (from edition published in 2002, but I don't think this part changed at all since first edition published in 1988).

"A propaganda model has a certain initial plausibility on guided free-market assumptions that are not particularly controversial.
In essence, the private media are major corporations selling a product (readers and audiences) to other businesses (advertisers).
The national media typically target and serve elite opinion, groups that, on the one hand, provide an optimal “profile” for advertising purposes, and, on the other, play a role in decision-making in the private and public spheres.
The national media would be failing to meet their elite audience’s needs if they did not present a tolerably realistic portrayal of the world.
But their “societal purpose” also requires that the media’s interpretation of the world reflect the interests and concerns of the sellers, the buyers, and the governmental and private institutions dominated by these groups."
The full paper is here:
https://www.usenix.org/system/files/conference/woot17/woot17...

I am unconvinced. They have not demonstrated an attack on any real-world SSD; instead they have attacked their own FPGA-based design.

The attack assumes that you can control or predict the physical location of data on an SSD, which is unlikely on a system that is doing other I/O.

But worst of all, the "attack" assumes that if you can target the right physical block/pages in flash, you can somehow hit that location with sufficient read-disturb that the result will decode successfully, AND pass ECC checks, meaning the resulting bad data will be returned to the host system.

I am highly skeptical that this could ever work on a real SSD. The combination of BCH/LDPC error-correction codes combined with a final checksum should make "random bit flipping" impossible to leverage.

Oh, and there's one more thing: SSD firmware keeps counters, to ensure that read disturb can't corrupt data. Any read pattern that hammers a particular location will trigger garbage collection or data rewrite to a fresh location.
A key argument for ISPs being treated as utilities (which is, itself, a controversial idea) is that they tend to be local monopolies or oligopolies. This is not the case with domain registrars, a field in which there are many available alternatives selling an interchangeable commodity product.

> Facebook solves a real social problem

With all due respect, until FB nominally solved this problem, you (I) never even knew this problem existed. Before it became trivial to share pictures with a long lost acquaintance using FB, we got by just fine showing pics to a tiny subset of friends.

There was literally no idea in anyone's head that they needed to show pictures of their children to some guy they last spoke to 15 years ago. This notion that FB is solving a real need is false. It's like saying cigarette companies solve the problem of nicotine cravings among smokers.
I am against the IP subpoena because i think it is at least a violation of privacy and at most unconstitutional. It should be noted that I am also strongly against antifa and their tactics.
Protests at Google Offices Canceled After Threats by “Alt Left Terrorist Groups”
Using social pressure to silence certain viewpoints is a terrible precedent to make. Social consensus is a terrible benchmark on whether or not something is bad. It was once consensus that black people were inferior to whites. It was once consensus that socialists were the enemy, and tons of people were pushed out of the labor market for it[1].

Internet corporations bowing to social pressure to silence certain viewpoints is abhorrent. It's starting with Nazis, but chances are good that it won't end there[2].

> It's perfectly legal for a business to discriminate against such views.

Well-intentioned question: where do you draw the line? Where does it start or end? Businesses that have used this same logic to discriminate against LGBT patrons based on the owners' religious beliefs have had a very difficult time selling this same spiel.

Edit: Scrolling down, I can see this same question asked multiple times. My assessment is that, it's a very difficult thing to do and we must admit our biases even as we make our voices heard.
In the physical world, the government can search only one apartment in an apartment building with a single warrant; it can’t search the entire apartment building. Are the collective records of a website more like an apartment building or a single apartment?

If this is the reasoning they're going then yes, Dreamhost is out of luck. One account is pretty obviously an apartment on a server (building) with the website being an even smaller part than that.

> Since native UI toolkits are not used, knowledge that the user already has about using their computer and how user interface elements should behave becomes useless every time they download a new Electron app with a different "design"

This is definitely not just a problem with Electron apps. I've seen a lot of OS X apps written using cross-platform toolkits rather than Cocoa, and every time it throws me for a bit of a loop.

> Electron app developers are rarely qualified to design good usable UI elements from scratch and are often really bad at it

See above. This isn't solely a problem with "Electron app developers"- more often it seems to be any developer trying to use a cross-platform toolkit.

> Complete lack of accessibility integration - don't even bother trying to use an Electron app with a screen reader or other assistive tech

Do you have any more details about this? I haven't looked much into a11y under Electron- does it prevent screen readers from detecting ARIA directives?

The media hoopla around that story was largely Fake News. Everything in that database was taken from public records. The only value of the database is the painstaking work of making all of those public record requests to the thousands of jurisdictions in the United States, and then merging and cleaning up the data. But several organizations have done it at this point and all a leak would do is potentially cause those organizations to lose money or competitive advantage against organizations without that data.
Ask HN: How to combine my passion for backpacking and coding?
I have been coding in c++ for over 20 years. I have been backpacking for almost as long. I love to go out on hikes for months at a time. I also love coding. Recently writing video games in c++ and OpenGL.

I'd like to be able to combine my passion for extreme backpacking and coding but the ideas I have thought about don't seem interesting to me.

Anyone have any ideas they might want to throw out?
That's a good episode but I don't see how it's relevant here. They're workers and the manager has a system in place to track their performance. Same thing has been around since ancient times, although not so formalized. When a system like that is in place for non-workers and you use it for friends and family is when we can start comparing the situation to Nosedive with a straight face.

> We simply cannot afford to own homes.

Sure you can. Maybe not in LA, Palo Alto, or SF, but somewhere in California. I mean just how affordable do you think housing would get on the peninsula without Prop 13? $300K starter homes? Surely you jest. Manhattan doesn't have a Prop 13, still pretty expensive last I checked.

Everyone is moving to the area, and any additional supply is going to get snapped up instantly. And the issue of "grandma getting kicked out of her home" will always loom large in such a desirable and expensive part of the country, it's not something that would just happen in the aftermath of a repeal. I mean that was the driving force behind Prop 13 in the first place.

But the large salaries that they pay their employees pushes up the cost of living. Those employees then patronize businesses in the area. If those businesses are not traditionally high wage occupations, government aid is simply providing the high income earners the opportunity to pay the same price for a deli sandwich or an oil change as someone from Fremont. The more free market expectation would be that those low wage employees would be pushed out of the area and the businesses go under, or the businesses raise prices and pay their employees more.

> building and deploying applications involves just a few clicks without requiring developers to build everything themselves.

That's exactly what's wrong with the web today: Too many "web developers" that only know how to point and click. Schools are churning out thousands of people with degrees who were taught to start with the trendy framework du jour, then keep piling on JavaScript libraries until the given problem is solved. The result is a disaster of bloated, conflicting, accessibility-hostile code. But that's OK! Just run it through a post-processor and everything LOOKS professional.

The world doesn't need another Angelfire. It needs more web developers who understand programming.
I think http://www.webcitation.org/ might be better in that regard since it's a consortium of "editors, publishers, libraries". See "How can I be assured that archived material remains accessible and that webcitation.org doesn't disappear in the future?" in their FAQ (http://www.webcitation.org/faq). Although from my perspective it seems to be more geared towards academic use.

What about your own nuclear family, your children?

The younger/new home-owners of CA are subsidizing your mother's housing costs, not the other way around. I'm happy that my folks are happy and healthy, and I know if they paid more taxes, they'd be in Reno or Phoenix.

But the couple next door to them? She's a teacher and he's a recruiter for some tech-firm in SF. He drives 2 hours each way, 4 a day, to get into SF each morning and then out again. We think her parents are helping out with the costs, there is almost no other way they can make those payments. Their little boy can't see his dad most of the days of the week, and when he does, it's after 2 hours of traffic. That's 2 families, one working full time and one retired (we assume, so heavy caveats here) that are now required to make ends meet for one little boy. How the hell are they gonna pay for his college? Will that boy know his father at all? What happens when Daddy gets laid off? Are they going to continue to be my folk's neighbors? Where are they going to go then?

Prop 13 is taxing the younger/newer homeowners for the benefit of the older homeowners. Many of these younger/newer people can't make the payments, not even close. So they need help from their own parents who are benefiting from the tax structure. This assumes that those parents are alive themselves, willing to help, and can help at all. Not all younger couples have that; it shouldn't be a requirement.

I'm saying that you should just let the market decide how these taxes are allocated, it seems to work pretty well for nearly every other state in this country.

Yes, it would be chaos for a few years. No doubt, my own folks would be forced to move. Just nuts all around. But every day that Prop 13 continues, it gets worse and worse for the youth of California and for their children too. Via Prop 13, California is directly hurting it's sons and daughters futures and therefore it's own. California is eating it's seed corn.

The dam has to break sometime.
It's also extremely pertinent that the warrant is being executed against an organization exercising political speech. That's very different from, say, the DoJ requesting visitor logs to a film torrent site.
