A really great niche that would play to your strengths is as a build environment for Mac software. The existing macs are terrible for this purpose, and really sometimes you want a rack mounted build server somewhere.
You seem to have missed my argument so I'll try and rephrase it.

> that one employer would get all of these great women who are just as productive for a lower price and would take over their market. It only takes two such employers in a market who are competing for those women to get women up to income parity with men.

Yet companies will always want to hire someone for the least possible amount they can - regardless of the manager's personal views.

Two potential employees walk in the door at your hypothetical perfect company. They are perfectly equivalent. One was originally paid $40,000 while the other was paid $55,000 at their previous position. They each want a 10% raise to come to your company. One is a woman, the other is male.

Now you end up paying the woman less than the male, purely because her previous position paid her less. And the cycle continues until eventually you get to some sexist manager back at her first company that thought she wasn't as skilled for some reason or another (apparently).

That's the point I'm trying to make. Your hypothetical situation would not be the panacea to these problems because companies don't offer salaries like that. You're also making the astronomically huge assumption that every person wants to change positions in the first place. Some people like the job they have and stay there for much longer than would be competitively optimal for them.

Systemic sexism is the sexism that manifests in these cycles.
What if OS + Store integration was done at the cell phone manufacturer level? What if they all ended up settling on the same default store?

Yes. See US vs. Microsoft.

Given how well the implemented TouchID a few years ago I'm not surprised. I don't remember seeing any major criticism of TouchID, just amsome praise from security folk for how well thought out the implementation was.
What I worry about is drivers. Texting while driving has been illegal in multiple places for years but to this day it is downright easy to find an example of someone still doing it. Now imagine these fools deciding to turn away and look because their phone is not unlocking otherwise...
Wil Shipley had a pretty good write up of Craig's Apple history, going back to meeting him at NeXT. Obviously it's just Wil's opinions, but an interesting read nonetheless.

Derp, should have been obvious from context. Thanks!
Long back, I reverse-engineered the dBASE .DBF data format (with only a few hints from some mag or book, plus the use of a hex editor (DEBUG.com)), and then wrote programs in Turbo Pascal to read .DBF files and process them further, generate reports, etc., for a management / marketing game project that I worked on for an Indian conglomerate. Did this without Internet access. That was actually my first freelancing gig and first job. Heh.
And $120 million of that amount got paid to Anthony Levandovski?
Same, though it's my step-son not my son (he's 7), his mum gets stressed about his reading level and math proficiency (both of which he's in the higher level for anyway) while I find the whole thing ludicrous, I was explaining probability to him the other day while we where playing cards and he grokked it.

I grew up in the 80's in the North of England (not a time our schools shone) and but for a single good teacher I'd have ended up in the equivalent of the remedial group (likely for the rest of my school career), she understood that the reason I wasn't learning wasn't because I wasn't capable but because I wasn't interested, she realised I liked science and computers so she binned the assigned books and got me reading about those instead.

30 years later I have a solid career as a programmer and I still love science.

This "teach the test, pass the test, teach the next test" style of schooling is fucking absurd, Daniel had to study for SAT's for FFS.

Standardised testing at 7 is insane, just the way school years are broken up means you have kids nearly a year apart in age at that age so the variance from that is huge.
I think that if the person is not asking for more money company has a right to not give him more. Isn't that how capitalism works?

So what happens when YouTube builds in Patreon like functionality?
from the article, that seems to be exactly what some of the groups are doing. I have to believe there's a better way to deal with this but I'm not sure what it is. I know other places (notably europe) it's more common to have public restrooms but I don't know how they deal with the problems associated with them (perceived or real).
How many public health crises in the USA can be boiled down to "the USA fails to provide a safety net that ensures a certain standard of living"? If this plastic-bag hypothesis bears out, it'll be yet another.
Does it seem to anybody else that having widely available public restrooms would be a way better (including way more hygienic) way to address this issue?
Its simply astounding that so many people are drinking the Apple kool-aid. The avalanche of complaints that will be unleashed after the release of this phone will be massive and sudden. If you think that this tech will work as flawlessly and without trouble as Apple claims, I have some bridges to sell you in Houston.

No. Lack of universal health care and a proper social safety net resulted in the Hepatitis outbreak.

Hepatitis can be prevented through vaccination, which a universal health care system would provide. Through treatment, which a universal health care system would provide. And proper sanitary conditions, which taking care of people so they don't have to live on the streets would provide.

In either case you are probably expending way more energy digging and mining the coal such that the hauling is negligible.

Moving away from coal would have a much greater positive environmental impact than engineering the hell out of the hauling efficiency. Like wind power, solar power, hydro power, for instance, all of which don't need any hauling once built.
Unfortunately, the plastic bag ban is only a side effect of the real problem. California has a homeless problem and there aren't enough resources made available in California to address this. The homeless don't have access to resources to readily dispose of waste.

Instructing the browser to cache a resource for a whole year just seems wasteful to me. I know it's completely arbitrary but if your browser hasn't used something cached for over a month, you likely don't need it cached anymore. Now, I do realize browsers have their own rules for maintaining their caches and may not even cache something for a year. That just seems like a very long time.

For example: Say many websites start adopting immutable, version all of their resources, and ~25% percent of their resources are updated monthly. I could easily see the browser cache growing to an excessive size over a year before things begin being purged from the cache. Excessively long cache times are sloppy. That's why I think it matters.

I actually wrote a quick web app [1] to translate a word from a ton of languages into english (so writers could see if their "made up" words would have any meaning to any demographic), but it could be used here by just putting your product/brand name in. (Please note it's actually hitting Google Translate 50 times since they don't have bulk translate, so results may take a second.)

Fun fact: Nullis seems to mean zero in Ukrainian, Pesian, Latvian, and Estonian as well, while also meaning "no" in Welsh, Latin, and Irish.

Compared to fuel wasted on pre-heating and efficiency below 50% for a diesel engine with huge co2 emmissions, this doesn't sound too bad though O:)
I've heard people say that one reason why we shouldn't bother with electric cars is that they still generate a lot of carbon from their production supply chain. All the minerals and metals mined, the parts being shipped around, the energy in manufacturing, etc.

But things like this demonstrate why that is the wrong way to look at it. We can, and absolutely should, electrify everything. The whole supply chain.

The truck in the mine, the smelting factory, the assembly line, the warehouse, and the big rig that delivers it to you. There's no reason why every one of these couldn't run on renewable electricity. The only reason they don't is because until recently it was more expensive, but that is no longer true. The total lifecycle carbon impact of everything we make can go to nearly zero as all these points electrify and as our grid migrates over to renewables.

That it can't happen all at once is no reason not to start.
It's not just about protected classes, it's about equal service for all.

Apologies if it sounds too dumb, but on the descent you have additional mass of your cargo that needs to be opposed by equal amount of braking force (magnetic or otherwise), on the ascent you have an unladen truck which needs lesser energy to move.
So essentially the magnet has to be sized for the descent not for the ascent. Or am I completely missing something?
Holy crap, the mandatory few months have passed since this entire fear-uncertainty-doubt bologna gets re-pushed into the "news". This has been going on for years now: it's like click farming, with rotation of the bologna like rotating crops.
This interpretation is very unlikely, given that it would be redundant with the first bullet point: "If you haven’t used Face ID in 48 hours [...] it will ask for a passcode".

Assuming that Apple engineers aren't stupid, the correct interpretation is "we want people to enter their passwords at least once a week so they don't forget them, but we also don't want to bother them if they're in the middle of something". So yes, once a week, you will be forced to type your password upon waking up.
My wife and I read my four year old son story books at night before he goes to sleep. And multiple times while I am reading the story, Siri on my wife's iPhone has interpreted my voice as a command to do a web search for something–something totally unrelated to the story I am reading. Strangely, only my voice has ever triggered Siri in this way, when she reads the story Siri ignores her. (Not on my iPhone, first thing I did when I got it was turn Siri off.)

Once you look at it, it will be unlocked.

It's a mistake to underestimate the impact of small delays. Developers ruthlessly cull their editor configurations to avoid little delays here and there. A delay every time you want to use your phone sounds annoying.

There are plenty of contexts I'd like to use my phone where face recognition isn't available: on a bus at night with no light, so as not to disturb others.
40 kWh regen per trip on 700 kWh total is very likely to have 98%+ charge/discharge efficiency. If it's doing 20 trips per day and a "day" is 8 hours (I suspect it's actually more), then that's what- a ten minute trip? That would be charging at .34 C. A standard slow charge is between .2-.8 C.
But nobody wants to build (and keep clean) a bathroom in their backyard (the for homeless people is implied). And anyone who did would have protests from their neighbors.

Lava Mae addressed this by building portable showers out of old buses (to the tune of ~$1M per bus) and trailers (cheaper).

> The weight ratio is (45 tons)/(65tons + 45 tons) = .409

Sproing! Discussing it here I realize that I kept thinking about it as 'can the energy of bringing 65 tons down equal the energy of 45 tons up' but you are absolutely right that really its 110 tons down, and 45 tons up. That certainly helps.
I would include public showers, and public baths like some parts of France.

Edit:
Actually wouldn't public washrooms, showers, and baths help everyone in that if they are located frequently enough, businesses wouldn't have to be built with public washrooms in mind, or pay for the cost of cleaning and maintenance. They would have to pay for the public washrooms through taxes though.
>How is TV better than an iPad?

The iPad IS more dangerous than the T.V. BECAUSE it is so much more engaging. Unless you have super-cable-satellite T.V. with more channels than you could possible ever watch - and sometime still even then - TV watching becomes boring, and people are drawn to do other things. iPad often does not do this - which makes is simultaneously less dangerous (because it is more engaging and therefore educational in some sense) and more dangerous (because the impetus to leave and go away can express itself by loading up a different app or even popping onto the app store for a new free one, or by going on the internet or even youtube with their incredible variety).

I still use and iPad with my little boy, but I always try to be using to together - we talk about what he sees and hears, we watch Daniel Tiger and I sing the songs and ask about specific things he sees on the screen, etc. I feel like this is a good compromise, even if it ruins the otherwise potent ability of the iPad to engage him so I can do other things - I'm willing to sacrifice the other things in most cases. :D (I am somewhat horrified at how simple it is for us both to just get absorbed in one thing or another and spend too much time NOT doing all those talking/playing/interacting things with stuff on the iPad, though! So simple, takes effort and energy to refuse to fall into that trap! :) )

Valid to want to use a finger instead of face, which is a matter of preference, but reminds me of the dust up over removing headset jacks.

In the end apple will lead people will follow. Clearly they see face id as the way of the future my money is on apple getting their way.
AFAIK you need to be actively looking at the screen and touch the screen for it to unlock.

Simply glancing at the phone sitting on your desk will not cause it to unlock, as far as I can tell.

There's speculation that the demo failure was because they had staff clean/handle the devices before the demo - i.e., they both looked at the device and touched the screen. Of course, lots of uncertainty around this particular botched demo.
I copied the text directly from the article, unedited; it really is just worded poorly (I did the same double-take).
This is a great point, and probably way more impactful than anything else mentioned in this thread. People will continue to be shitheads and use their phone while driving, that's inevitable, and this could make that even more distracting.

Now they've got to take their eyes off the road for a second, or fumble with holding the phone above the wheel.
Apple's 'differential privacy' still collects too much specific data, study says
FWIW I can never get TouchID to work when imm running and my hands are sweaty and the phone is covered in sweat too. Typing my pin is even harder because half my taps don’t register.

In those situations FaceID would be perfect.
That's because you're still thinking about unlocking, then using your phone. What you're describing is the ease of the unlock step BEFORE using your phone. The big change for me with TouchID is that now, my first thought isn't unlocking the phone. I put my thumb on the home button to USE my phone, not to UNLOCK my phone so I can use it.

My guess is FaceID will be the same. You WILL be looking at the phone because you look at the phone to USE it. When you do, it will be unlocked fast enough that you don't think about unlocking (you see the screen transition, but your thoughts will be on using the phone not on the unlock that already happened).
Robotics, the traditional path and new approaches
It surely is. People actually have trouble framing anything as sexist against men. All the men in a hostage holdup can get shot, and someone will talk about how it's sexist against women.

When no woman is involved at all, it's often called homophobia. But the hint there is that if no LGBT person or LGBT attribute is involved in any way, it's not homophobia either. It's just sexism. Against men.
You might want to think about it even in those cases; not so much for security, but just to open up your options.

It takes me never more than a minute or two to do the one time setup for certificates in an new OS install, whether Mac or Linux (at least for personal dev machines). And once done, I'm free to use any ssh tools which use certs, which should be pretty much all of them, rather than those that cache username/password... or compared to the username/password entry time. I definitely end up saving time by reducing redundant entry and by being able to use the best tool for the job sans any other gating factor.

Naturally, this is all preference and you're free to choose things differently than I would suggest... but did want to offer you some food for thought.
Yes a 1yo child has a good way of getting feedback from the environment when learning to walk. They fall and it hurts !
I don't think you can define an objective criteria for any of these terms, since they depend on previous experience and are inherently subjective. Instead more commonly used terms to more precisely describe "intuitiveness" or "usability" are: simplicity, consistency, universality, familiarity and flexibility.
But specs are deliberately under quoted I recall a former co worker who had worked at RAE saying that whilst on the range at salisbury plain was over taken by a the then standard MBT in a land rover doing 50 he reckoned it was doing 65-70 well over the MBT's quoted top speed.

Exactly! We need better homeless support. Day centers with real bathrooms and showers, better public bathrooms, and better safety nets for those who are struggling. We need more programs like Utah's where they try to get homeless people into homes first, then work on job training, drug addiction and integration into society. If we had housing first, many of these people could have accessible toilets.

Plastic bags are terrible for the environment. They're not recyclable unless that type of plastic is in demand. Even then, it's often shipped to China. Most companies don't touch it because there is so little return and things like staples or food particle can contaminate whole batches if they get through sorting.
That truck is an order of magnitude larger than the one in the article. I imagine that at some point hybrid electric power trains become a necessity but before that they are excessively complicated.

That's why the phone has an IR light emitter, so it can work in total darkness. The images in the presentation where the phone lit the person's face up or projected dots on it were simulations to give you an idea what it's doing, but it's all done with IR.
Since size isn't much of a constraint it probably uses electromagnets instead of rare earth magnets as fitted on cars.

Also trains have been doing it for decades.
