Google's remediation systems are terrible. If you can't convince their algorithm you're a good person, you're out of luck.

My adwords account has been locked for 15 years despite my repeated appeals (they seem to let me appeal about once every five years).

I have no idea why it's locked and no one will tell me nor fix it.

So I have a separate adwords account which annoyingly I cannot tie to my primary gmail account because apparently at some point after it was locked they got tied together.

Latest book by Michael Lewis, "The Undoing Project", is about relationship between Kahneman and Tversky, and to an extent it discusses their research. Problem with 1980's Bargh paper and other studies is never mentioned. There is not even a hint that any of the research Kahneman relied upon was later called into question. I guess Lewis did not think it was relevant. Not sure why but I expected this controversy over replication to at least be mentioned.
> Men with certain traits decide that hiring people like themselves is the path to success, make workplaces unfriendly to women

Facts don't fit your narrative. The percentage of female software engineers at Google matches the percentage of female software engineers that graduate with CS degrees.

If sexism is driving women away from CS, then it's driving them away way earlier than when they apply for jobs at Google.
I think it's important to walk before you run. If social scientists aren't able to get compatible results from the same experiment done by two different teams, then I seriously doubt their ability to extract any relevant subtle truths about human behavior.

The c. elegans story you linked is a great example of this. Getting the little details right matters. I can't imagine having any luck doing that while constantly changing the big details.

If you switch to usb-c without a headphone port, then you've got to come out with two lines of headphones (actually, three, since they still make regular headphones). Also you ditch a whole ecosystem of peripherals, like the Square dongle, that are built around lightning. I dunno. It's something apple might do, but there are tradeoffs. I wish they would switch to usb-c so I could connect my iphone to my mbp without an adapter, but alas.
Pretty cool huh?! They used to have to auger the bit right into the bone by hand. As you can imagine, trying to twist them into the bone while the patient is alive is not easy. Also, once you punched through, there was usually enough momentum and force by the MD's hand, that they would then punch on through the other side of the bone and then right into their other hand that was stabilizing the procedure. Now you had two patients instead of one. Many MDs would really hesitate in doing it, as expected. These little sterile and disposable drill have saved a lot of lives. These are a 'poster boy' of modern bioengineering in general.
It's worth noting that Latin was introduced by Asian republics, not Russia or USSR - they forced cyrillic on all republics.
Average user of Linux, or average computer user?

Specific DE that you have in mind? Those vary, a lot.

I am a happy Linux user and find it very usable. It is just point and click. I find other OSes to be more difficult, but I suppose that's unfamiliarity.
I was an iPhone user from the 3GS until my 6+ finally bit the bullet, and refused to give up the headphone jack. I genuinely love the iPhone and MacBooks.

I've been using the Galaxy S8+ since launch. And the Note 8 is, by any definition, as good or better than the iPhone X.

If you haven't used a Samsung phone lately, go try an S8 or Note 8. They have "the package" down. It just works, and doesn't require a PC or iTunes. I don't care about speeds and feeds. I care about how the phone operates on a daily basis.

iPhone X has FaceID and pin# to login.
Samsung has face, retina, touch and pin options.

The Note 8 is cheaper, with expandable storage, a higher density display (with the same white balance adjustment), stylus, side-by-side applications, a headphone jack, samsung pay, and NFC.

(There are probably many more, but these are things I use on a daily basis, or very frequently in the real world)

The iPhone has iMessage and Facetime.

Seriously, it's worth a sniff of the other side of the pond. It took me 2 hours to transfer everything - contacts, media, apps. And another day to get the UI sorted (there's even an "ios mode" for the launcher that acts almost exactly like the ios interface). I still use an iphone often for work and it's honestly painful going back to it, there are so many little annoying papercut experiences.
The same applies to facial recognition too.

One of the few >1SD ways that men and women differ is when you ask men and women what jobs they think they'd prefer.

If you list jobs that have large social components like teacher, social work, etc... more women will say they sound pleasurable than men.

When you list jobs with smaller social components like carpenter, electronics technician, forester, car mechanic more men will say they are pleasurable.

Is this difference entirely cultural, women being told they should prefer people jobs, and men being told they should prefer thing jobs? No entirely.

It looks like biology plays a significant role too. Women(XY) with congenital adrenal hyperplasia are raised as women, but tend to show occupational choices that are less people oriented. And the degree to which these women have been exposed to prenatal testosterone predicts how much they'll prefer thing oriented jobs.

Just to reiterate though, I don't think this is a valid reason to give up on getting more women into tech. It just means it'll be an uphill battle, and maybe we should expand our toolset to include things we otherwise wouldn't have tired.

When I think about how we get to a profession with much better gender parity, I imagine the world that has changed how it sees developers. Right now the world sees great developers as technical geniuses sitting in a dark basement staring at a command line solving garbage collection bugs and doing memory dumps. But instead we thought about a great developer as someone who used their eloquent communication skills, amazing empathy and a generous helping bad ass technical skills to delight their end-users with features they didn't even know they needed. I think that's a job more 16 year old girls could get excited about.

P.S. this doesn't mean we shouldn't stamp out sexism where ever it rears its ugly head.

The reason you're unlikely to see that in the node binary is presumably the same reason copyFile has taken so long: node aims to have a small core that enables a rich userspace.

There's gotta be a very good reason to bog down the core with more stuff, since that equals less other stuff and more bugs. Some of the few valid reasons are ubiquity (which HTTP is, but Windows and sending files are not), or things that were impossible before (like no overhead file copy).

> Nobody is trying to push women into the lower 5% of jobs. Brick layers, plumbers, electricians - all well paying jobs - where is the push to get women into those?

Because these jobs don't address the power imbalance between men and women in our society. Lawyers and doctors are highly respected careers that influence the direction of society. Lots of women pushed into this field. Politics also needs more women, as should be obvious given how much states and Congress tries to control women's health care options.

Computer science is increasingly pervading every facet of our existence, and so having gender parity ensures female concerns are equally represented as this field evolves.
C++ tooling is fairly abysmal. Partly because the language is so darn complex and full of warts. You basically need to implement most of a compiler to get meaningful IDE features.

Point being, a higher price point for a C++ IDE makes a lot of sense.
I think the safe analogy is an excellent way to illustrate the issue. Encrypting a file is essentially the same thing as locking it in a safe in what I believe is the ultimate "eyes of the law" once this gets fully tried.

I haven't done anything to improve. In fact, I only found out I read differently about two years ago; which means I went 30 years not knowing I had anything wrong with me. As for it impacting my reading comprehension, it don't think it has. That being said, there isn't any way for me to know for sure, since I'll never experience what it's like to see text normally. Why do you think it would impact comprehension?
Living too long can kill you, too.
I highly doubt that. I've had several FitBit devices and the Apple Watch essentially killed all of them. The number of fitness-related things the Apple Watch can track is significantly higher than the FitBit and I can also make calls and do other things on it that I can't do on the FitBit. On top of that, every single one of the 10+ FitBits I had was destroyed within 14 months (2 in as little as 3 months) and, although a few of them were covered and replaced under warranty, none of them, even cumulatively, have lasted as long as my Apple Watch. I bought the Series 0 and got the Series 2 as a gift. I'm definitely buying the Series 3 and have vowed never to buy a FitBit again. I'm actually surprised to hear that your FitBit experience is more positive than either the Apple/Android devices and especially so since every person I personally know with a FitBit has had the same poor quality experience. I know that's anecdotal, but I literally don't know a single person that has had a positive long-term experience with FitBit products.
Considering the direction windows has gone with usability I'm quite happy with remaining stagnant.

Nah, I'm all for google doing this. Youtube is absolutely NOT the place to host these videos, as makes it very hard if not impossible to ferret out all the highly destructive hate speech that's occurring..

Obviously, there should be a place, similar in price and ease as YouTube to where she can host such things, but YouTube is not the place. Ideally the new system will be set up to weed through what makes sense and what doesn't.

it has pretty thick bezel. I think the overall design is evocative of the original iphone with metal wraparound molding, but I think Apple compromised aesthetics in exchange for better drop test durability. From head one, it's definitely not an attractive phone, far from it.
Almost all people will appeal, it's quite easy. This brings us to the volume of appeals. Google has never liked to support this type of grunt work.
I wasn't aware that the 3G didn't have accessibility, but they've trumpeted it a lot over the last few years so I have a hard time thinking they would just give it up.

I mean you could just make a setting that ignores whether someone is "looking" at the phone. It would make it a little less secure but at least it would still work.

I have a very hard time believing the rumors that they took touch ID out at the last moment. Maybe when people do teardowns will see some empty space but I figured that something they would've had to lock down early in the year.

I've got to admit I'll miss touch ID. I wonder if it'll ever come back if they figure out a way to get that sensor-under-the-screen thing going, or at this point do they just decide Face ID is good enough and go forward with it alone?
> The deep state realizes that while it may not elect the president, it can shape them very quickly

Instead of seeing this as some sort of covert manipulation, maybe this phenomenon is a reflection of just how much people prefer the status quo. IIRC a lot of jurisprudence is based on deferring to status quo. It seems natural that a new president's administration should remind them "hey, listen, we've thought about item Q on your agenda a lot and we can't do it because of X, Y, and Z."

On the other hand, I've shown up on software teams before and asked, "Hey can we try Best Practice X?" -- only to learn that "Yes, we have all thought long and hard about Best Practice X but it Just Couldn't Possibly Apply Here. Also, Dave doesn't care for it." ;)
Cross ref with Jaime Dimon's comments on bitcoin ... interesting .

“You’re wasting your time with Bitcoin! Virtual currency, where it’s called a bitcoin vs. a U.S. dollar, that’s going to be stopped,” said Dimon. “No government will ever support a virtual currency that goes around borders and doesn’t have the same controls. It’s not going to happen.”

True but at that point I think you'd have the same problems with touch ID.

That's why I do it. I hold what is now considered an extreme view on free speech. I don't even have anything politically incorrect to say, really. I just strongly believe in the freedom to express ideas.

A survey of young people really disturbs me. Some 40% don't believe we should have the right to free speech. I'll be damned if I know how to fix this. I see the same sentiments expressed by some people here.

Credible threats, slander, and libel are already illegal - as are a few others, such as divulging classified information. Speech needs all the protection it can get and, unfortunately, that means defending speech I don't particularly care for and people who would legitimately harm me if given the chance.

Speech we agree with doesn't need protection, nobody wants to silence it. However, that's subject to change based on the whims of society and the government. I guess I've become an extremist, even though I'm pretty sure I haven't changed. I just love free speech.
I don't think Macs are at all a pain to share, and your example isn't very compelling.
> frequently a comment of mine is read more aggressively than I meant it

This is a common occurrence. Written communication involves both the writer and the reader(s), and unfortunately that results in losing other channels of communication such as intonation and body language. I think written communication is a skill that can be improved with purposeful practice if you think it's worth your time (and to be fair, whether or not one considers posting on HN personally valuable is not a given :).

It sounds like it's at least a little important to you. I personally think the effort is worthwhile in general, as it's useful to know how one comes across in various media, and particularly if you feel you have something valuable to contribute.

I've got a few resources in my profile that I find useful to return to—and have, repeatedly done so to deepen my internalization of them. I'd encourage you to take a look and see if they might be useful to you as well.

Cricket Wireless uses AT&Ts network but capped. They are owned by AT&T now so it doesnt make much difference.
T-Mobile and Sprint are independent networks. Other smaller carriers, known as MVNOs (eg. MetroPCS, Cricket, Google Fi, etc), do rent the networks of the major 4 carriers, but T-Mobile and Sprint do not, which is part of why their coverage is a little worse in less populated areas. I'm not sure if T-Mobile can roam on AT&T towers (since they're both GSM, but are probably using different bands for 3G). I do know that when I'm in Yosemite with T-Mobile I don't get any reception, but I've heard that Verizon and possibly AT&T do.

I'm a nerdy upper middle class white guy but I have a different view from some of the engineers, especially female, that I've met (many are aerospace and not software engineers). Engineering has a tendency to attract a certain type of male and people outside of that group have a much harder time fitting in with software engineers and also can be subject so some more subtly hostile behaviours. I'm not saying the field needs to be have perfect splits of demographics but engineering should be open to everyone who enjoys it and has the aptitude but in the experiences I've heard about it's more open to some people than others.

I guess that's the disagreement I have with people is that it's hard for me to see engineering as open and meritocratic when I've seen situations where it definitely is not (even if those situations are just anecdotes)
