In 1984, I wrote a BBS for the Commodore Vic-20 which had up to 63 public and private rooms (message areas), private email and an online game, all in 9.6K of BASIC. Users could start their own rooms and make them public or private. The topics covered everything from general chitchat to string theory. The board was very popular with each user spending an average of 70 minutes on it.

One of my users said "Anyone who can write a BBS for a Vic-20 can program!" and hired me to write code for MSI portable data terminals. That same guy now wants me to work with him at Google.

I did a code challenge as application, so I believe this was the most important code. But this is my portfolio page (untouched since I got the job): http://rodrigo-pontes.glitch.me

I believe the most important project in it was this To Do app because it shows I can ship things that work:

This was Louise and Aylmer Maude. I'm afraid I don't know much about the different translations. I do think I would like to read this book again one day, knowing the character arcs. I just learned the Pevear and Volokhonsky version leaves the French untranslated, which is how Tolstoy wanted it. That sounds like a great translation to read next.
I have no idea what the correct answer maybe (beyond the obvious linear extrapolations whose bounds of applicability I am not aware of) but I am curious what prompted a question so patently absurd (not an insult) and with such a broad order-of-magnitude spread.

>If you want to recruit for diversity and there is a smaller selection of one group, you are very likely to have to recruit the weaker candidate from the smaller group. But why is that a problem?

Well, from the linked article, one of the women stated that "When I walk into my job at a tech company, how do I know which of my colleagues thinks I’m an outlier among women versus someone who was hired because I’m female that doesn’t deserve the job they have?"

Thus, if a company engages in affirmative action-like hiring practices, whether or not the bar is actually lowered, inevitably some employees will feel that some exceptions are being made to fill a quota. As a result, all personnel who fit those sought-after demographics might be considered suspect, and unfairly labeled by some minds. I would absolutely not want my company to start recruiting weak candidates who resemble my general physiological description; I wouldn't even want them to announce they are considering it.

That said, you are right, there are merits to diversity. And I would rather err on the side of too much diversity than not enough. However, this is a complex problem which merits open discussion, otherwise we are bound to settle for suboptimal solutions, or worse.
> Apart from games, I would not be that afraid to install recent pieces of software (browser, office suit, os) on a 10 years old computer (2007 core 2 duo).

Ah, I can answer that one for you: my work computer of that time (E6850, 8 GB RAM), which cost me less than a thousand euros to build back then, has since been reconverted as a work computer for one of my employee, running Windows 10, Office 2016 and Chrome all day long. Only addition has been a 120GB SSD.

It runs much better than the "modern" and "cheap" ~ 400 euros integrated work computer I bought from ASUS and HP in 2015.

> You are essentially saying that about, or slightly less than, half the US is nazies

25% of US population voted for a known sexist and racist all while knowing that he was backed by neo-Nazis. Still, right now, 36% of US (per http://www.gallup.com/poll/201617/gallup-daily-trump-job-app...) approve with Donald Trump, and thus, with a man who openly supports Nazis. In fact, I believe that the "alt-right" is the only base Donald Trump still has - just look at his economy advisors, they're jumping ship left and right because no one wants to be associated with this.

> you have already lost the fight

Which is something that is very well possible, I am afraid to say. I'm a German - and while our local neo-nazi party has recently lost poll rates from 25 down to 7-8%, their major positions got incorporated into the positions of our center-right parties CDU and especially CSU, and even the center-left-ish Social Democrats have shifted to the right. The neo-nazis don't need to actually win elections to succeed, they only have to succeed in getting their positions into the "mainstream".

First of all, you are trying to discredit me: I never said vaccines are bad, I never said it is a cure-all for all cancers.

To answer your other more sane questions:

Are governments influenced by companies? Certainly, especially in US.

Is research influenced by companies? Most definitely, sometimes researchers are even bribed.

So you doubt those sorts of claims on Vitamin C? Look into the research that was actually done.

I love science, and probably so do you. But I've already seen too much "science", where results of research was twisted just to be able to publish in a journal.

Don't dismiss me for some alternative medicine dude, I'm not. But I'm also old enough not to believe every fairy-tale that is told claiming to be "science". Especially not in fields where a lot of money goes around.

> Does that mean they had no luck in minituarizing their tech to make it viable for smartphones, smartwatches, Bluetooth headsets or car audio systems -- generally a small consumer-grade battery?

In the case of OXIS their battery has pretty poor volumetric energy density, so while it's light(about as dense as water) it takes too much space.

On the other hand the Eos's battery has great volumetric/gravimetric parameters, but poor power density - to the point where if you short-circuit it it's just going to seep current for four hours.

They were planning on putting these batteries in cars, but for that they would need at least a 100kWh unit which would still require a small li-ion buffer for short power bursts.

> However, last I heard about them, some corporation gave them free scholarship in an elite university... and after that, full radio-silence. Really makes me suspicous, you know. What the hell happens to these people? Don't they still want to revolutionize the world as they claimed they wanted to when they were teenagers?

Sometimes the research simply goes nowhere. Take for example the case of Sakti3 and Dyson. Dyson bought their business, because it looked promising, but after over a year of silence abandoned the patents that came with it. Apparently the chemistry simply wasn't viable for commercial use.

But it would likely cover topics which would suggest differences in gender. This entire debate is absurd. The link between gender and behavior is beyond plausible. Something as simple as psychological effects of being physically smaller than another gender could affect behavior; there are hormonal differences, and we know that decision making is influenced by hormone response. If physical differences between men and women are so obvious, why can't people accept the possibility of sexually dimorphism in psychology? How can one claim to be rational or objective while denying such a possibility?

You're not describing anything that isn't also applicable to FreeBSD - nor many other open source OSs. I mean take LXC for example, a great many flavours of UNIX had OS containers long before OpenVZ hit Linux - let alone LXC.

The biggest points you could probably win an argument on is:

1) hardware support: but that's less of an issue with servers anyway. Plus ironically I've had more issues installing Debian onto HP Proliants than FreeBSD due Debian's strict policy on non-free drivers.

2) size of community: but then what's the signal to noise ratio in the Linux community of actual helpful, knowledgeable engineers vs that of FreeBSD or any other POSIX-like platform? Linux does have a significantly bigger community but I've found that does result in significantly more misinformation being published too.

A genuine, non-trolling and non-elitist question: have you actually tried any other POSIX-like platform aside Linux? I'm not saying you should need to since you're clearly happy with Linux, but since the points you praise Linux can be applied to a number of platforms outside of Linux as well it does sound like you're making assumptions that those points are exclusive to Linux as they are why you're describing Linux as the best OS out there.

df is a standard utility, like ls or cd. Invoking df on a POSIX system should do the expected thing, and if it doesn't it means something is broken.

Also, do you not think that current implementations that use eye tracking are not real holograms?

What's to say that holograms similar to those of Star Wars could not be produced by inspecting the environment and automatically determining where people's head and eyes are, e.g. via a combination of technologies similar to the following:

Eye-tracking holographic table requiring 3D glasses: http://www.euclideonholographics.com/

3D TV not requiring special glasses for the 3D effect: http://www.ultra-d.com/

So, it is American intelligence officials who are concerned about this situation?

At some time in the past, the US, as a democratic society might have done something to separate offensive and defensive intelligence, used some method to give us something like an assurance that concern by American officials would mean that Kaspersky was doing something shady rather, say, that Kapersky was one tool they couldn't use to spy (not that I know anything about the situation at hand).

But as it is, the US (along with all the other states, of course) produced a situation where there's no real difference between the "state actors", where basically every software product from a given nation risks being requisitioned as well be spyware for that nation.

Perhaps it's just as well and anyone caring about privacy will move to all open source, defined builds and so-on.

Or perhaps just buy software from the smallest, least important nation.

I have slightly different way of dealing with them. I pick up, and either ask them to hold on because I'm outside/on the other line/doing something etc.. or if it's a robot I select option they want me to press to connect to the operator. Next I put them on hold and wait to see how long it takes them to disconnect. Record holder was 7 min 51 sec.
When I have time I will also talk to them, feed them incorrect information, put them multiple times on hold etc.
This wastes their time and money. Maybe if more people started doing that they it would no longer be profitable. :)
I got a job working at boohoo and I think this repo did a lot for me - http://github.com/DrRoach/Dynamicimage.

Well that's very obvious, it's just that it's uncomfortable to say it out loud: tech jobs are nicer and more desirable than most. We have very nice working conditions of many types and get well paid for it.

No significant amount of equal-rights activists will ever take up the torch to fight for <insert discriminated group>'s to be able to have more of said undesirable jobs. It's hypocritical but entirely understandable.

> Honestly, I'd like to hear from them. Just look at this thread, the ratio of anti-Damore to pro-Damore people is like 1-to-10, and the other threads are even worse.

I'm white and I agree a problem exists, although I'm not American. I'm also basically on the "pro-Damore" side in this thread, although I don't necessarily agree with everything he wrote in the document. You seem to take this as an indication that I'm sexist or denying sexism exists, and I think a big part of the problem is exactly this kind of "you either agree with me or you're a sexist pig" approach.

A person can be pro-equality and even for encouraging more women to go into tech, without agreeing that all gender differences are caused by social conditioning or that affirmative action is the proper way to fix it.

Indeed, it also is more complicated than that since protected classes in the US (on a federal level) are defined by multiple laws and their protection status is not universal across all cases.

You may argue that familial/marital status is a protected class in the case of the gay wedding cake, the problem is that AFIAK (IANAL) applies to housing opportunities only.

You can argue in court that familial status extends beyond married/divorced/single/widowed but also to the type of marriage and then argue that the protection under title VIII of the Fair Housing Act sets a precedence for familial status being a universal protected class(this has been done for other protected classes in the past also).

But in either case this is a matter for the courts, until there is a ruling not wanting to serve a gay couple isn't a crime just "abhorrent but legal".

As a liberal I would much rather see the free market take over, and before people say well a free market didn't help to combat the discrimination against African Americans it wasn't the lack of a free market but regulation where you had local laws that demanded a 7 ft barrier between black and white areas in a restaurant and many other abhorrent local laws.

A bakery that wouldn't want to serve gay customers will be at a disadvantage in a truly free market as they lose business from people that they do not wish to serve and people who think that behavior is abhorrent.

I would also like to point out that on some level if I were in there place I wouldn't want to get a cake from a place that didn't want to make one but was forced to do so.
A wedding is an important event, a wedding cake as silly as it might sound is a big part of the tradition, I would much rather take my business somewhere else than have someone who doesn't want to make a cake to be compelled to make one.
But how to deal with things like line-wrapping, when fonts have unknown size? Somehow, it should be possible to programmatically determine how each line is broken up. A similar argument holds for hinting at low pixel sizes.
