The first one has where he mentions the OS. Personally, I do think the OS is needed, but not in its present form. Instead, something far far simpler than even Linux. Yes, I've seen Alan Kay's similar presentation on the amount of code in windows and the F-22 raptor. Stacked it is supposedly unbelievably high like many stories, while their Smalltalk Machine built at Xerox had the entire language, GUI, text editor, image programs...etc in a tiny amount of code. In the modern day I think of Rebol which has a very powerful and simple DSL for so many tasks such as creating GUIs and the full download is like a few MB with zero install. Truly a marvelous piece of software.

I'm interested to see how other retailers will respond to this.
The other question I have, maybe it's in the keynote, is how powerful is this scanner? what is its range and resolution? can 3rd party apps access it and use it to capture surroundings? can we use it to bump-map streaming video?

iPhone X seems like a pretty powerful scanning device if you ask me. The custom apps you can write with this, it's amazing how much potential getting hardware like this will unlock.
You say everything that they say applies to men too — but that seems like a reason that they will lose.

To win, they have to prove that they could reasonably have been paid more but weren't because they were female. If they show that they could reasonably have been paid more but weren't because they are bad at negotiating, they get nothing.

So, yeah, don't mistake discrimination law for something which would make sure people are paid what they are worth.
It would literally have to break out into a jailed macOS session when docked for it to be at all practical for me, honestly.

The average user could no doubt make due with a minimal multi-window iOS interface. I have no idea how people work with an iPad in any serious capacity when you are restricted to a full screen interface.
> That quote caught my attention. Is this kind of gambling or being a day trader? I like the mechanic that unearthing good content gets rewarded -- was that the goal? Have you found this system subject to gaming or collusion (a few people posting and upvoting content to increase the odds of getting a payout)? Do you see less clickbait getting upvoted than, say, on fb? What's the incentive for later readers to upvote an already popular title?

The vote model encourages hotness. If you want to earn money, you are encouraged to vote quickly. We will have alternate models to encourage different things soon. The next step in rating content will be something we call reviews. After purchasing content, you will be asked: "was this content worth paying for? yes/no". We believe the information we get from that will be a very good measure of quality.

> Pretty cool that you taken such a different approach. Wish you the best! I'm pretty much burned out on all social media, but will check it out regardless.

Thank you very much!

> edit: Big question what's your vig or house cut on all the money changing hands?

Currently our revenue comes from two places: The 10¢ it costs to post content and getting the first vote on all pieces of content.

> 2nd edit: I see the answer to my last question: you keep $0.10 from from each post and credit yourself as the "first voter on every post". So you get the largest cut of the cost of the upvotes on each post?

Yes. This is something we will change soon, probably by either giving the creator the first vote and then charging 20% of all votes or by giving the creator the second vote. It's important that Yours Inc. gets some of the money to prevent infinite self-upvotes. We had that problem originally.
It's irrational, but I'm not going to use a security measure that increases the likelihood a malicious actor removes my finger.
It's literally like having a browser add-on enable comments on a website by appending the Reddit/HN thread after an article [1]. But with the added benefit of the user being able to choose from a number of algorithmic/community moderation strategies to apply to the existing comments in order to show/hide/rank them.

[1] This add-on actually exists for YouTube/Reddit: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/reddit-on-you....
Yeah but you can solve one side (drivers) with money. With a social network that's not so simple.
Ask HN: What can you build with iPhone X?

1) How many total and active users do you currently have?

About 2800 total and 1000 daily sessions.

2) Where are they coming from?

Predominantly social media.

3) Why would they pay to participate in a new social network when there are so many available that are free?

Because we encourage high quality. They believe in our mission and our content quality is rapidly improving.

4) Why Bitcoin Cash?

Low fees. See this article: https://www.yours.org/content/a5c9a2549cfd9e48607e0aebe233d2...
That's all anyone thinks about in any operational setting. Unless he plans to go into academia and publish papers for a living (rare). There are few and far between settings where the hard theoretical aspects of comp sci are marketable and/Or desirable traits on a resume.

Domain knowledge. Or, in other words, added value. Anyone can be taught to program (see bootcamps) or fix a crashed hard drive (see it department). Domain knowledge is being able to say "I specialize in crypto" or "I have in depth knowledge of distributed hash tables. In short learn something you actually want to learn because computer science is just a tool in your toolbox you're going to learn anyway.
Well they’re married so maybe they have a joint account or two?
Perhaps it has changed in general. When I first started riding with Lyft two years ago that was policy everywhere. Maybe they realized it is not something that can be accomplished at scale. Which would be unfortunate because I know several people, women in particular, who found that policy to be a differentiator in the rideshare competition.
A problem with "social networks", and perhaps the Internet in general, in my opinion, is that they encourage groupthink.

> Each vote costs 10¢ and the payment is distributed amongst earlier voters.

This sort of pyramidal scheme actually gives people a monetary incentive to try to vote how others will vote, regardless of their actual opinion. Like other gambling, it may be a good business model, but it serves to exacerbate the groupthink problem.
Original author here. This article is more pertinent today than ever before!

Your face is your username, not your password.

Use it like you use your username. But never as something secret, personal, unknown like your password.

The same goes for any biometric. Fingerprints, voice, iris, gait, DNA, etc. No matter how much they try to sell you authentication through biometrics, it's total b.s.

Thank you. Hopefully we can pull it off. We have a great asset - very low fees while not being a custodian of user funds. Allows rapid iteration of the product with fewer regulatory concerns.

> Not sure why you're being down-voted so harshly.

Lyft employees? So far, there are not really any substantive counter arguments being posted. It's pretty rational to down-vote my comments if you have stock options that vest on acquisition. I bear no grudge, these people gotta earn.

Google wants in on this market because it fits in with their self driving car plans. Car Drones don't really make sense without the context of a rental market because right now the cost of the LIDAR sensors alone can be as much as the cost of the car itself.

That's why Tesla's stated goal is to do it with CCD cameras like the ones found in your phone. Because the cost of adding them to the car is next to nothing.
I've been checking the xkcdpass utility (available on Debian). Generated 50 sets of 100,000,000 passwords each, comprised of six words (the default), then sorted these uniq, and counted the output lines.

Any duplicates would result in fewer than 100,000,000 lines.

All fifty trials had no dupes.

Took most of a week to run that, on an older box :)

Posner's an interesting case. He claims that he is sick of how the under-lawyered get mistreated in the courts, but he's been a consistent advocate of many legal theories to harm marginalized people and animals: he's anti-privacy for citizens, but pro-privacy for police, anti-souveillance but pro-surveillence-by-State, anti-animal-rights, anti-antitrust, in favor of a free market for selling children, opposed to equality of educational opportunity even though he doesn't believe in genetic racial intelligence and does believe that Black children are systematically oppressed, and even though he thinks copyright/patents go to far he believes hyperlinking and paraphrasing news should be illegal!

So... wouldn't that make biometrics a lesser threat?
Seriously, you're worried about whether they might be undocumented? If Lyft has Lax background checks that would have me worried more about my safety and less about immigration issues.

Are these lax checks something you know firsthand or have read somewhere?

Just to be clear, though, this isn't because Apple isn't interested in updating things. It's specifically because much of that software moved to GPLv3, and Apple won't include any software with that license. (The internal documentation is very clear about that haha.)
A Tribute to Alain Colmerauer (2001)
#1 directly reflects biases from other companies, which could arise for lots of reasons. If, say, many of your male engineers are getting offers from Uber and the rest aren't comfortable applying, and Uber is giving extremely high comp to lure people away from Google, then your formulaic comp will end up with men getting consistently higher salaries.

Google is pretty opaque about how they make salary offers, but from reports on the internet plus my own experience and that of friends, it seems like they have rough comp bands within each level, and they don't really "negotiate" in the conventional sense, but they do have lots of leeway to match/exceed competing offers or your current salary if you name them before the initial offer. So if you have those offers on hand from other companies, or if you had a particularly strong current salary, you can get a much higher offer.

Also, don't forget that this lawsuit is specifically alleging that they underlevel women, not that they're directly paying women less. There are lots of easier ways for an executive to defend that, e.g., "like everyone else in the industry we'd love to hire qualified women but it's a pipeline problem" etc. etc. (The executive might even genuinely believe it.)

>And that's called racism. I don't care if other countries discriminate against us.

Lol. No it isn't, it's called nationalism. Racism is about the race of a person regardless of citizenship, nationalism is about citizenship regardless of race. You probably should look up words before you throw them around.

>I will not ever support an organization that is outright discriminatory like that, whether it is based on skin color or citizenship.

That's a straw man. No one said anything about discriminating based on skin color except you.

>Also, unions DO indeed prevent people from being hired. That's why right to work laws exist. Right to work is the idea that if a company hires you, it is illegal for a union to force you to join.

So where in that sentence do you explain that a union can force a company not to hire you?

>There are companies where you are forced to join the union.
Ex, the screen writers and actors guild require people who work at certain companies to join them.

Yes, the logic being is the union is the reason people get higher wages, so they should pay union dues to support the people (fellow employees) that earned those higher wages. Many states have done away with that though as a direct attempt to weaken unions.

Here's a decent breakdown of the pros and cons:

I wonder if their skills are on the same level as the men who were paid more. And I'm curious, did they ask every single man in Google how much they get paid? Probably, there are some men who make even less than they do (or did).

Please don't consider me a sexist, but this kind of stuff is everywhere now and it's hard to tell whether it's a truth or not.
Flat salaries may fix this? You basically join at the same bracket publicly. No performance bonuses and all salaries increases are directly based on years put in. Everyone joins with the same options across the board. For each male hired there must be a female hired. No roles. Everyone has the same title: "Engineer". Off sites are strictly prohibited.

Is this what the lawyers want?
Disagreeable personalities tend to get paid more. When a man is disagreeable, people usually get wide eyed, but then accept him as kind of abrasive, but lovable. Women are either less likely to be disagreeable personalities, or less liked when doing so.

If women get paid less, why doesn't google hire only women to save money?
And the sock puppeting, fraud, money laundering, and plagerism? Oh geez. Where is their cut?
> Companies pay some employees more for pretty good reasons.

I think you give companies too much credit. Those pretty good reasons are typically that that's how much they asked, it wasn't unreasonable, and they passed the interviews.

People's salaries are all over the map for the same sorts of positions, and it's not just IT and development.

But, even though it might not be a clearcut answer to whether there is discrimination or bias in salaries, it should be explored. Even data with a wide, overlapping range doesn't mean that the mean and median can't be compared and valid conclusions drawn about probable bias.

Google seems to take bias seriously, and I think if it could be proven with adequate certainty that salaries were affected by the sex of the employee alone, they'd do something about it.
Azure IoT Toolkit: Cross-Platform Developer Tool for Azure IoT Hub
This criticism is flawed. The fact that the code is imperfect or sub optimal actually makes their conclusions strong and more useful for real world comparisons.

The code guidelines in their benchmarks represent real programming practices in those languages. They promote "idiomatic" code because it is meant to represent the typical quality of code in the real world. Obviously many of the examples could be made more performant, but in doing so you would made the code less representative of the real world. Example: the typescript code outputs wanky ES6 features that are slower than their old plain js counterparts (classes, arrow functions, let, etc). You could abuse the ts code until its output is identical to js, but you would have a pointless benchmark now.

What would the benchmark honestly represent if the code looked nothing like code in the real world? The theoretical speed of the language just doesn't matter.

In fact, JS engines have been optimizing their performance around numerical benchmarks for decades. The benchmark problems (nbody, etc) are actually highly unrepresentative of real javascript performance because real world javascript is touching strings and awful DOM apis and messing with dictionaries all day.

Your 'real-world workload' should be stuff like text editor operations, a domain where JS's alleged 6x slowdown compared to C has not been remotely approached by current editors.
Perhaps because one need to hold shift too often.
If you want to assume something insidious about Google's intentions, am I allowed assume that you just want to find a female coworker to wife?

If people give you money, you earned it.

Are you really sure about that? You may want to revisit this assumption.
> And what do you know, I got promoted into a more suitable position.

This is a bit of a ridiculous statement. You seem to be claiming that everybody who shows off their skills rises to their correct level. I don't see it that way. I see that there are way more people capable of doing a senior position, but only a few positions are available.
Edit: Nvm. Alex3917 defines it better than I did.
People interested in this idea might also be interested in Hashcash. Someone who wants to send and email to someone else also has to provide a "proof of work" with their message, essentially the same thing as Bitcoin mining. The point of it is to reduce email spam by attaching a small cost to each email, since, today, there is no cost difference between sending 1 email and 1 million, which enables spammers to send out so many.

The main benefit is that no real currency is ever involved, which reduces a lot of administrative overhead.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hashcash
This assumes venture capitalists don’t exhibit a bias towards male founders. Depending on the extent of bias (if any), female engineers would lose a bit of bargaining power with Google.

Also, empirically, women tend to be more risk-averse than men on average, so Google (and other companies) could be paying less knowing the chance they’d leave is lower than a man of similar skill.
Wow, you could not be more wrong on that. They've gone to greater lengths than any other vendor I can think of to prevent piracy and punish those who do.
> No performance bonuses and all salaries increases are directly based on years put in. Everyone joins with the same options across the board.

This is how Japan worked for a long while; now it's moving toward a more meritocratic approach with performance bonuses and raises because the fact of the matter is that it sucks for people who work hard to be paid the same as the guy who comes in 9-5 and does average work.
Do you listen to Arms Control Wonk? It's a podcast; they go deep, deep into the weeds of these missiles and what we know about them. In one podcast recently they talked about the cooperation between Iran and North Korea.

I'm not worried about them being undocumented. What bothers me is that a company that claims to follow the law to a T and uses that as a marketing point contributes to violations of US immigration law.

(I know a guy who has driven for Lyft for months while he had a tourist visa. He entered an all-zeros SSN when he registered, and they never followed up.)
My whole line of thought actually comes from misunderstanding the point of the article. My original reading was that it was dismissive of jumping in and coding as a method of working out requirements -- which I disagree with it. I think jumping in and coding is one good way (but not the only way) to work out requirements with stakeholders.

Instead the article is about programmers who code without the involvement of stakeholders at all. The inclusion of agile is a bit of red herring.
How you mean?
Incidentally, this is not too different from how top-tier law firms work.

What is the end goal here? Companies being forced to publish and formalize pay tiers?

Can Google publish a report on non-pay differences by sex at Google? Sick (or personal) leave taken, overtime worked, vacation time availed of, etc. by sex?

Obviously with everyone being equal and doing equal jobs, the above shouldn't really be an issue?
@igouy points out that while the old shootout site is gone, its language files are still available[1]. There are about 70 benchmarks, in about 70 languages. I remember them as interesting multilingual browsing.

Unlike the old shootout, adding languages directly to benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org is not an option. "Because I know it will take more time than I choose. Been there; done that."[2] :) Instead, the code is available[3], and communities are invited to document their own benchmarksgame comparisons[2], such as Nim''s[4]. The OP used different code[5].

A brief glance at the current benchmarks, suggests there is some overlap with the old ones. Or at least an overlap of names - the requirements may have changed. So it might be possible to get started fairly easily? Perhaps even to do several languages...

Again, let me preface this by saying none of these views are my own, I'm just trying to be sympathetic for both sides of the debate here so that we avoid creating echo chambers every time this topic gets mentioned.

Although I think it's unlikely that any celebrants, or at least ones affiliated with various religions, will be forced to marry same sex couples, they're not the only people that are involved in a wedding. So even if celebrants are protected, will that same protection extend to photographers/caterers/musicians/venues etc?

The main pain point at the moment as far as I can tell is this plebiscite, whilst it's asking a very necessary question, doesn't give any indication of what people are actually voting on. A "Yes" result could potentially hand a more progressive government a blank cheque in terms of their justification to legislate however they want.

It is definitely not that straightforward. You are probably right when referring to the top talent, but for the majority of the workforce it comes down to negotiations and raises. There is plenty of guilt to be spread around for everybody involved (like, "why don't women negotiate more"), but there are also known well-measured biases against female engineers (SWE has a neat "research" page listing reproduced studies on the topic, same with Project Implicit).
Disagree, most people who use IDA professionally only use it occasionally, when the job calls for it. I know many security professionals who only end up using it a few times a year, but when they need it they need it. Full time reverse engineers are the exception, but they are not the majority of IDA users. For everyone else, it's typically one of many pieces of expensive software.

Though it's unclear if we are discussing sticker shock over IDA Pro or over IDA Pro + Hex Rays decompilers, because there is a pretty huge increase in cost as you start needing those.
