Sure there are sex differences in the distribution of traits. How does any of this relate to suitability for software engineering jobs? Men with certain traits decide that hiring people like themselves is the path to success, make workplaces unfriendly to women, and then claim the sex distribution of their workers is innate and nothing can be done because science proves that men and women don't have identical distributions on certain personality and intelligence traits!

Wow that's messed up. I didn't realize it extended beyond video.

On the plus side it's only gonna be an easy software upgrade to fox this for video and the web although it remains to be seen whether apple will accept they're wrong.
I hope other manufacturers pick up on this and just make their devices thick enough overall to match the camera bulge, with a huge bonus in battery capacity.
Seriously. Lack of syncing Spotify & podcasts for offline playback is a deal breaker.
The headphone jack isn't superior in the requires-plugging-in-way. It's also analog and therefore lossy.

Really? I thought that often the +5 informative or +5 insightful post may have well articulated ideas that run contrary to the majority opinion.

Also, I was often curious to read what was "beneath my threshold" and often clicked. Which played a big part in convincing me that slashdot's moderation was top notch was that I usually did not find anything of interest.

Thanks. Yep, the S8+ updated yesterday is vulnerable.
I work at a digital advertising agency as a media buyer. I buy ads for a living, and spend ~$5MM a year.

Reddit is merely stepping into the big leagues.

What reddit has done is switched from "Contextual Category" (cx cat) targeting to "Behavioral" (bt) targeting. Usuaully behavioral is much much better, which is likely why the change was made. But OP was doing contextual cat really well, so it was more successful than bt.

Reddit made this switch because it will benefit the majority of advertisers, but hurt the ones who really know what they are doing. Reddit will earn more from the 80% that see improvement, and therefore spend more. The 20% like OP will spend less, but it won't matter.

CX CAT = Companies like grapeshot and peer39 use NLP to identify keywords on a webpage and categorize it. Then advertisers can buy ads on any webpage that is in those categories. One of my favorite strategies is to buy ads on content that is predicted to go viral in a certain category (like fashion). These are ads that HN usually would like because the ad content is similair to the content of the website. They target a webpage, not a user.

BT = Ads that target a specific user, no matter what website they're on. So once a user has visited r/jerky, they're tagged as liking beef jerky and could possibly see beef jerky ads on any site they visit. This is partially how you get ads that seems very out of place - beef jerky ads on a r/technology.

If you spend time buying media, you know reddit's behavior isn't surprising. Facebook and Google both have default settings that will burn through your budget and provide shitty results. Only someone who intimately knows the platform will be successful. Reddit is merely stepping into the big leagues.
I am legitimately curious why people down voted me... I was trying to start a conversation and asked a question of the OP I actually wanted to know the answer to.

If it is because I said "any tech conference"... if so I humbly beg for your forgiveness for using an absolute when I meant to be anecdotal. I thought people understood hyperbole. In any case, it would have been more productive to post a comment... "actually my experience at tech conference has been different" rather than down vote.

Personally I reserve my down votes for trolls and off topic posts, I don't even use it for people I disagree with, but to each their own. I accept your judgement.
Upsides and downsides of “women in” lists
I think you could find plenty of people who couldn't care less about the iPhone X (you're speaking with one of them). I took one quick look, saw nothing of major interest, and moved on with my day.

Moving back to the linked story, are there any long running issues with Node that are still not yet addressed? Are nearly all common issues resolved?

For a company that is supposed to be responsible for a lot of private data, they aren't very good at security. Makes me wonder how much better or worse the other credit bureaus are.
>Google doesn't have to host it if they don't want to.

Completely agree (free market), however were it my website, I would make an effort to distinguish between journalism/commentary and actual propoganda.

>They want to be vaguely family-safe.

I agree they are trying, but look at Pewdiepie's video regarding Elsa/Disney videos where the actors were pissing on each other.

These videos were NOT demonitized, and were marked family friendly. Why would Youtube permit and promote this content, but ban others?

>anyone can upload and monetize

In the past this was absolutely true. Now videos are being demonetized and DMCAd and censored left right and center. Not even really hyperbole.

My opinion is that Youtube is hooking up the studios and corporate interests on the site with each passing day.

Every indie creator that is making the really cutting edge content that is merely vaguely inflammatory is being pinched hard, while the corporate studios are getting a pass.

Thank you for your comments :)
I own the Samsung pair. Don't have much good to say about them except they work... for a bit. I usually can use them for an hour and then they're completely dead.

They also can't hold a charge very long. If I charge mine up overnight, by next evening when I go to use them, they're already half dead. Great product except for very poor battery life.
What hello_there proposes is a comment system that is not associated with your website. It would akin to having an article of your website linked to a subreddit and people commenting on it.

I'm not on Facebook so I don't know much about the newsfeed, but the goal is to eliminate trolling and toxicity, not debates.
You seriously see no material difference in having your video on the YouTube vs on randomvideowebsite.com? It's not merely a question of finding a host to upload your file.
One factor is that if you're on disability/Medicaid, you can get $1000 worth of Oxycontin for a $3 copay.

Those pills in turns have a street value of $10,000.

This stream of federal drug money is¹ one big driver of the opioid epidemic. In some parts of the country, a huge part of the population is on disability, and it's hard to say no this kind of money.

¹ Or at least was. The system has probably tightened a bit the last 5-10 years.
I'm not sure I agree with you here.

"User is visiting r/foo now" is arguably a behavior! So posting an ad to a specific subreddit is arguably behavioral.

"Once visited r/foo six months ago" is arguably not a behavior; it's not something the user is doing. If anything, that is contextual. Presenting the ad based on this amounts to targeting the user based on a pile of past context attached to their account, not based on their current behavior.

And since behavioral works better than contextual, there we go: it explains why OP has reduced ROI!
VSCode is probably technically superior, but I just can't get past the icon. It looks pretty ugly IMO and it's significantly bigger than all the others in my dock so it stands out like a sore thumb.

With Touch ID and Face ID, you are required to have a passcode. What's the point of Touch ID if it fails and doesn't have any other way into the phone? As for hashing biometrics, Apple has the Secure Enclave which is for storing the biometrics.

Happy to second FastMail. Been there almost a year, and it's amazing how good their product is. Note that they just revised their TOS to get rid of the dreaded "can terminate your account at any time for any reason" common to most services, in exchange for a clear set of conditions. Aka, the CEO waking up one day and deciding to get rid of you isn't valid anymore, as it would be for most companies.

Does enable async stack traces mean useful stack traces?

Node has been a frustrating language to switch to from C# from the perspective of stack traces. It seems in node they devolve into relative meaninglessness beyond the first line or two. I have fond memories of juicy stack traces like homing beacons.

I'm secretly hoping somebody will jump in to tell me I'm just reading them wrong or something...
when i'm in the office, i leave my phone on the bay to charge. i don't literally use my phone while charging, but i do pick it up from time to time to check notifications and then put it back on the bay. so it pretty much charges all day. it probably won't save me more than a second or two every time i pick it up and put it back down, but it's become so second nature to simply drop it on the table without looking that i can't imagine going back to a system where i have to use both hands (and more than an eye) to get a phone charging.

when i'm out, and if i know i will be out for a long time, i'll bring a battery along.

at night, it charges on the bay when i'm asleep.
I find the typical stereotypes about conservative voters to be kind of amusing. I'm fairly young, and I have an BSCE, MSEE, and a very decent paying job doing tech work. I'm a libertarian and I vote conservative because they at least usually claim to want to reduce the size and power of the federal government. Based on what I've seen in the media about people who tend conservative, I don't exist ... that or I'm actually either a buck-toothed uneducated redneck, a white nationalist, or a geriatric nursing home resident and somebody forgot to tell me :).

Also - regardless of how great their new system is, the old adage holds: "Garbage in, garbage out."
Redundant cloud storage is made trivially easy by IFTTT.

IMO Visual Studio is an order of magnitude more feature complete than VSCode.
Phone cases fix the bulge.

And, isn't it true that phone cases are pretty much a necessity? I remember I took my iphone case off a few a months ago... and just a week or two in, the screen shattered when I dropped it on the concrete floor outside as I was stepping outside the car.

Phone cases have a certain thickness (which is more or less equal to the thickness of bulge). In all likelihood, you'll have the case, so the bulge is perhaps not really a problem.
Yeah, by design only experts are going to be super successful. The average small business owner will waste a lot of money on reddit, facebook, and google because missing a single checkbox will have massive impacts on your campaign.
The comment you are replying to is suggesting that the miles driven with autopilot may have been inherently safer miles, e.g. autopilot was more likely to be turned during the safer parts of a drive.

If true, this would be an unfortunate example of selection bias.
I'd place the high water mark a bit earlier, probably around 10.6. They mostly hadn't started removing or dumbing down stuff yet: you still had Front Row, because they weren't trying to sell you Apple TV; it was new enough to have the modern Cocoa Finder but also still provided Rosetta; iOS influences weren't a problem yet; iCloud wasn't so deeply integrated and File menus still showed Save As by default; multi-monitor use hadn't yet been ruined by the new full-screen app modes; you still had real scrollbars and the OS didn't make the mistake of treating indirect touchpad scrolling the same as direct touchscreen scrolling.

There's still a lot to like about newer versions, but the stuff that was removed on the way to 10.6 I was mostly glad to see go (excessive brushed metal) or at least don't miss now, while there are some things from 10.6 that are now gone and I still miss them.

I don't see the removal of ObjC GC as all that bad, especially in comparison to the death of the Cocoa-Java bridge. At least the former offered a compelling migration path for actively maintained software, in the form of ARC.
New Google (after the founders retired to Alphabet) are trying to instill a simple notion: what you think is yours is actually ours, it doesn't belong to you. Post a YouTube video, expect it to be taken down. Do not embed third party YouTube videos: your website will be broken when Google takes them down. Do not develop Android apps as a small dev: they can be deleted from Play Store on a whim. Do not monetize your site with AdSense: you will lose revenue with no human recourse. Hopefully general public will get this notion sooner than later.
Steve Jobs talked about this when he returned to Apple. He basically discussed how he would work at his home Mac and then come to the office and login and suddenly with the internet and networking the work Mac would be exactly the same.

I think the ideal should basically be that. You can pick up a phone, any phone (limited to iPhones for Aplle), login to your iCloud account and suddenly it's your phone, indistinguishable from the other phone thst was yours, outside maybe unavailable hardware features.

That's one of the great things about web apps. I can log into Gmail anywhere and it's the same thing. I haven't used it, but I believe this is the promise ChromeOS delivers.
That appears to be what happened in this case.
I think the number is if you choose another human at random, how likely is it that they'll be able to unlock your phone. Having a twin doesn't change that number much, since they're only one person out of 7+ billion. Of course, your threat model may be different from "pick a random human from anywhere on the planet."

Serious question: what are some examples of great content virtually erased from the web by search engines?
Do you have a data source to back up your claim? It doesn't sound right.
Eh, human review isn't all that and a bag of chips. Firstly you have the subjective problems in human review, that different humans will find different things egregious. Secondly you still have the context problems: would the humans have been more likely to review the videos in the context of a reporter reporting on evidence presented in a court trial?

Thirdly, and perhaps most importantly from the standpoint of anyone building a system to moderate content, you have the human toll: most of the content the humans are reviewing is going to be highly objectionable to most humans, by definition. Expecting humans to review this content day in, day out and not have it take a psychological toll is not realistic; you can find interviews with people who have done this work for various companies, and the tales of their burnout.

(This is not meant to defend Google or condone what the reporter is going through, etc, just to point out that "make humans review everything" is not a slam-dunk answer.)
Which long running issues?

All common issues are quickly resolved, almost by definition, in a long-running successful project like node. Lots of people depend on that being the case.

It's just not always resolved in core (which is why npm/yarn/webpack and a hundred other awesome derived works exist).
How long does security footage last though? It takes only like 3 seconds to type in a PIN so they'd need to keep enough frames to cover that (aside from being lucky enough to have your phone visible to a camera) and I don't imagine they keep full 30fps videos around for long. Do they?
Reminds me of a an anecdote about the F-117 Nighthawk which was the first stealth airplane nearly invisible to radar. Apparently the engineers working on it would come into the airplane hangers to find many dead bats as it was also invisible to sonar.

Interestingly enough this made the engineers realize the stealth technology also could work for submarines which led to the IX-529 Sea Shadow stealth ship.

Where do you think tens of billions of old mice/rats that are to die yearly are supposed to go, especially in developed areas where there are not many other predators?

In predation even without any specific choice by the predator, the resulting prey is naturally skewed toward weak/sick/old, ie the ones who is slower, has lower attention/senses, etc. Until some age the young are naturally on the weakest side and not surprisingly may fell prey a lot. Such filtration results in more healthy/agile/stronger adult population.
Brand safety is about nsfw/extremist/gore/etc content. Brand safety is not the difference between r/luxury and r/couponing. I've never advertised on reddit, but many platforms allow categorical targeting, and categorical exclusions so you can explicitly exclude things that are outside the realm of brand safety, but would still hurt your brand.
this is 100% true.

for example, using any kind of partial broad match and not having a large amount of negative keywords (which must be manually managed and maintained over time) will waste a lot of money.
Futures and gRPC in Rust
Seems dangerous if the rules are not adjusted right. It could end up amplifying certain narratives and extinguishing others, and causing a divide between sets of people as they move to communities where they don't get blocked. Furthermore an AI would be more opaque than a simple voting system, and could easily be manipulated for unethical purposes. Lastly, this sort of system would heavily bias towards the mainstream viewpoint, which is a good heuristic, but the mainstream isn't always right about everything. There is a place for minority voices. I would posit that the extreme political division we now see in the US is a result of more powerful systems for influencing online discourse.
Personally, I have a couple synced drives at home to tolerate hardware failure, and an additional storage setup at a family member's house, which syncs directly over the Internet, to cover incidents that affect my home. Roughly, I have my important data on five drives across two physical locations. And no data is stored in places I lack physical access to.
Yes, but let's take the path of income, if you're an investor in a company. So company does work, makes gizmo, whatever, and gets out of this x, and makes costs of y. So the basis of the income of the investor is x-y, let's call that z.

Ok. Most, but not all, companies would pay VAT on z. 10% in the US, 20% in Europe. That reduces the income from z to, let's call it 85% z.

Then there's corporate tax. 35%. That makes it 55.25% z. The result of this is then used for dividends, which are then taxed at 15%. That makes it 46.9% z. So there's a tax rate for these investments of somewhere near 53% or so, and I bet it'll be more in practice.

Also, the odds of getting an IRS audit if you have a company go up 10-fold.

So the base taxes on corporate profits are higher than income taxes, no ? What am I doing wrong.

There's a funny double standard in mobile reporting. It's incredibly common to see non-Apple phones being called "iPhone clones" but I'm seeing very little mention of the iPhone X looking eerily similar to existing bezel-free-with-cut-out designs like the Essential PH-1 and Aquos S2.

My 'flagship' OnePlus 5 is vulnerable today, according to their linked app.

While I totally believe that my device will receive a patch at some point in time, the majority of devices out there will probably never receive the patch Google provided. And even this recent phone is now vulnerable to a vulnerability that was just disclosed to the public at large..
