Ladies, please, never take the first offer. My wife did that (she's also a programmer) and she's getting paid shit salary by a shit company to get shit on all day.

From Sheryl Sandberg's Lean In

"But what's interesting," she says, "was that when my brother-in-law and my husband were saying 'negotiate, negotiate, negotiate' – when I finally said OK I'll do it, because no man would take the first offer, I then thought to myself, I felt like I needed a justification for doing it. And it turns out that's what the data says: men can negotiate without apology or justification. It's expected. If women negotiate, they need to justify it. It can't be that you want more for you. Because that's what men get to do." As she writes in the book, "success and likability are positively correlated for men and negatively correlated for women."

I see how my note above might sound a bit arch/harsh -- sorry about that -- actually I mainly posted it to alert others who might be interested in commenting on the story (or interested in reading what others might have to say...a bit of enlightened self-interest on my part, since I have a few comments there myself :-) But more seriously, there is a lot of material in that thread).
My understanding is that you lose access to React if you sue Facebook over any patents at all, not just ones that may be relative to React.
Really? I regularly get $30-40 from downtown SF to mid-peninsula. Sometimes even less. To SFO much less than that.

Your intent on joining a women-based team is very creepy/cringe. This is not a healthy behavior.
I don't think that's the situation I'm describing. If a company could replace an engineer that is more likely to leave with an equally productive one who is likely to stay, they wouldn't hesitate to wave good bye.

What amazes me is the confidence with which people equate the work of engineers when they actually have no stake in making that judgement correctly.

You see, if you are paying the money and living with the results, you have a much greater incentive to make this call correctly.

And those who are unhappy with these judgements have a much greater incentive to equate engineers who aren't actually comparable. It's called politics.
That's rather disingenuous, because Haskell forces you to use `newtype` wrappers for lots of things you shouldn't need them for and don't need them for in C++.
Bitcoin cash! Ewwwwwwwww, i wont touch that with a 10 foot poll. As a holder of bitcoin, I will never spend the UTXO's on this chain, thus denying this false bitcoin of spendable outputs.

Wouldn't something like lightning network microtx's be better than Bcash?
The patent clause isn't designed to give Facebook leverage. It's designed to grant patents unless you sue them. Even though patent trolls don't use React, Facebook wants to ensure that they don't grant patent licenses to patent trolls.

> There have been reports of companies having to pay in some roundabout unspecified way royalties to FB for React as part of a large patent licensing deal.

If you can provide any direct evidence of that, I'd be fascinated. I highly suspect it's FUD.
Can you explain that in more detail? I quite like it, and it takes less resources than GDocs.
Actually you already have mostly self driving tractors. However wheb there's that much money at stake, hiring a driver to hit "stop" if something goes wrong is a very cheap option.

You don't 'teach it'. You learn it.
Because React is far more weaponizable and less niche than RocksDB will ever be.
I'm talking about stuff like putting your code in classes, initializing with constructors, or using your language's standard library instead of writing your own stuff.

Perhaps idiomatic was the wrong word. I mean that the code isn't supposed to be fighting the language.

What were your observations when you were contributing? Which problems were you working on? Any chance you still have the code?
Why is this getting reposted? I’d argue this is very shortsighted especially coming from a security professional. TouchID has been a huge leap forward in consumer device security.

Security design must take into account usability. Fingerprints (and now faces) make it easy to use stronger passcodes. If you don’t use biometrics, people use weak passcodes. That’s clearly a worse outcome.

Sure, it’s even stronger to not use biometrics and enter a strong high entropy passcode every time you want to unlock your phone. But to actually advise something like that as a better approach in a consumer device than TouchID is simply to advocate a guaranteed worse security outcome. Maybe you “cover your ass” as a security acolyte and blame the compromised user for not following your stringent prescriptions, but that’s not owning the outcome. You have to consider usability.
also depictions of it were illegal

I don't think 'having a gay character' was illegal or that there was any doubt in the minds of directors, censors or audience the characters were gay.
FWIW I saw a jerky club ad, probably yours, on my new account in the past day or two. I have never visited /r/jerky or anything else remotely related to jerky.

Either the algo is wrong or you bought it wrong or it was someone else's ad.

It was a terribly annoying ad, it read like "hey, i like jerky but it's so expensive, so i set up a club where you get jerky every month blah blah blah"

Basically tried not to look like an ad.
> My very casual understanding was that 100G was state of the art.

I think you're having the same conceptual issue that I had when first reading it.

The 400G in the article title is referring to the bandwidth of the chip, not the bandwidth of any particular port.

The ports, as mentioned elsewhere here, were probably either 10G or perhaps 40G.
What happens when the large subjective components yield comp stats that indicate gender bias?

Ask HN: Business model for content creator
If you are a content creator, there is a few business model available

- If you start a blog, you can serve ads (e.g. Adsense) or join Medium membership program.

- If you create video for YouTube, join YouTube partner program.

- If you stream game, join Twitch affiliate program.

- If you are an artist or creator, create a Patreon.

- If you are working on a new project, there is Kickstarter.

Is there any other options which I miss out? Is there a way for Twitter and Facebook content creator to monetize?

Though Google Contributor is dead, I thought there are still many opportunities for consumer to pay content creator which are not explored, or at least not competitive enough.

For example, there isn't a Like & Pay feature. For example, I might like a blog post or video or a github project, why the following options isn't available

- "I Like" button where 10c or $1 is contributed seamlessly.

- "I Support" button like Patreon when I pay monthly contribution with access to certain perks.

Maybe there is something like "Contibutor Wallet", once setup payment could easily be made upon click. As for transaction fee for micropayment like 10c, maybe I could pre top-up my wallet to avoid unreasonable transaction fee. Perhaps Google, Stripe or Alipay would like to take on this opportunity?
That's just plainly false. It's entirely possible to implement it using employees that are human reviewers.

If that's not profitable then they should rework their business model until it is profitable.
That's certainly true and I do wish they would move to a non-animal-based sensor to reduce that vuln.

I honestly wouldn't know - I don't usually watch videos with half-naked chicks in the thumbnails. Basically, when I'm watching on YouTube and not directed there from another video site, I only watch Takeshi's Castle, Cinemassacre, Channel Awesome, TheStrawHatNO!, newfiebangaa, World of Longplays, Playable Passion (sensing a theme?), Guru Larry, and a few other channels along that same theme.

Xcode 3.x was nearly perfect. The Xcode UI went straight south in 4.x with this giant-window-always-the-wrong-size-for-everything design, that also sucked Interface Builder into the same app. That meant any crashy thing in IB took down your whole project, which never used to be an issue. If they back-ported LLVM to the Xcode 3.x GUI and restored IB as a separate app, I would be quite happy.
I'm not really sure what you're trying to achieve with this comment.

Where I work, the level is determined by how well the did on the interview, regardless of years of experience.

It might be that the plaintiff didn't do as well on the interview as her colleague. Just because both have have 4 years experience doesn't mean that both did equally as well on the interview.
I noticed early in my career that people who dressed better got noticed more - i.e. promotions. Habitually wearing flipflops and track shorts to work won't work.

> But the negotiation and sales part. That's the issue. Its not easy to get good at that.

You're right. I work at it all the time, and I have a very long way to go. It will always be a "work in progress" for me.

But at least one can try to not be simply terrible at it. I still shudder at the stupidity of some of the things I did that clearly damaged my career.
Conversely, one has to tell the collector about a new device to poll. Being able to fire off a UDP packet with the metric and move on seems like would be the most lightweight approach.

You can do everything right and almost always lose. Sorry, just consider it cost of accepting credit cards. :-( Perhaps do an analytics on those that initiated a chargeback to see if you can detect a pattern and then watch out for that pattern and offer to have folks cancel their accounts.

Let's say people sign up, never use your service then file for a chargeback. You can contact everyone that signed up and don't use the service and tell them to cancel since they are not using it. You have to do the math. Will you be losing more money by doing that or by CB fees?
Totally get that. I wasn't trying to make a normative argument here, just pointing out that the state Bar and the SEIU are in the same business. For the record, I do consider some of the externalities generated by the professional guilds to be among the worst negatives of unions.

As far as where I'm coming from, I used to be more libertarian-ish. I guess I've come to a view that as population density and interconnectedness increases, maintaining societal stability requires ideologically impure and economically suboptimal compromises. Call it pragmatic socio-nihilism.
>>To win, they have to prove that they could reasonably have been paid more but weren't because they were female

I'm only saying if you replace 'female' by:

1. 'not good at negotiations'.

2. 'not good at making friends up management'.

3. 'not having good political skills'.

etc.

You still arrive at the same result, regardless of the gender. Which happens with us men too.

Ruby is a very versatile language in its own right. While the other poster is correct that it is used for anything that perl and python are used for it's also taking a large chunk from the Java and C# crowd in Japan. Everything from server side applications to command line tools and even GUI based desktop applications can be written in Ruby. Using FFI I have made some quite amazing applications with Ruby.

Rails is amazing and I personally love it. But it's not the only thing Ruby is good for.

My understanding is that per regulations only union labor is permitted to perform various tasks -- you can't just call any old contractor to install light fixtures.

This was a requirement having to do with the location, I am not sure about the specifics (if it was a city thing or if the building owner had entered into such an agreement) but I'd like to have a better understanding. On the face of it, it does seem absurd.
> Bullshit.

Don't tell me my own life is bullshit, that's ridiculously patronizing. You'll trust a calculator over my own personal direct experience?

Not to mention that the very forum you linked says $60k is very possible.

> Pick any calculator. Here's one of many linked by the US Department of State.

All of those calculators make the ridiculous mistake of adjusting income instead of expenses. Income should only be adjusted if you're living paycheck-to-paycheck.

Even if you assume all expenses scale by that factor, you're much better off saving $100k/yr in SV than $50k/yr in the midwest. Not to mention that tons of expenses (cable subscriptions, vacations, e-commerce) don't scale with location.

I'm tired of fighting this fight on HN. Believe CoL calculators all you want—meanwhile, SV engineers can save enough to retire to the midwest by the time they're 35.

> That's how it works.

It is extremely rare that two equally qualified candidates are both negotiating offers for a single position at the same time. Your scenario is contrived and I have literally never seen it happen despite negotiating dozens of job offers.
A friend of mine worked for years at a firm, and did well as a salesman. But he would get overlooked for promotions. He finally figured out why.

He was frugal, and would bag his lunch and eat it at his desk. The others would get together and go out for lunch. He failed to realize how much networking and business was conducted over lunch.

A corollary is that working remotely is probably not a good idea if you're ambitious.
Everyone who worked at Google or a company like Google knows that 90% of people do a job well below their skills. That's how it is in those places.

To sue them because you have back-end skills, but you were doing front end is laughable. There are so many PhDs in ML there writing SQL queries, or PhDs in CS changing the color of some text for an A/B test. That's how it works in the best companies in the world. You get the money and the prestige, but the job is bad.
So Hashcash was proposed by Adam Back, who is now the CTO of blockstream, a major bitcoin development firm. His vision, and the vision you describe is actually bitcoin.

A 2017 Hashcash was actually implemented recently and published at http://hashcash.com/
Bad news is that it requires something to store the value, so this requires bitcoin as the token transferred via hashcash.

What you have described in your post doesn't actually work that way in the real world -- You cant set a global proof of work value (bitcoin difficulty adjustment) or able to build a proof of work that would allow a phone or desktop to hash -- it will be eaten alive by spam farms with ASICs (bitcoin mining asic farms).
Dude, its so great for when you and your friends are stoned!
is not about invalidation, its about priorities; have you seen any articles in the front page about those millions of Americans? Me neither; but dozens about how someone somewhere is winning 10% more than other someone and that the gender was clearly the reason.

The business reason as to why a company would discriminate against certain groups is perfectly rational.

I mean, if a company can get away with paying women 70 cents on the dollar, because women are worse at negotiating or have less negotiation power (ie everyone ELSE is also discriminating against them, therefore they have less counter offers), then of course they would do it.

It has nothing at all to do with "making the correct call". It has to do with making the profit maximizing decision to pay a group of people less because you can get away with it.

That doesn't change the fact that this is still illegal.

I'm interested how a language is judged to be distinctly different such that it can be called a separate language and not a dialect or variant. If the language heavily borrows sentence structure and filler words from English, is it a separate language or merely a variant or dialect?

This is a broad and complex question with many variables, especially the human element and needs deep context to answer. From this I am going to avoid the question as as I get the feeling this becomes 'internet nitpicking' at specifics on a broad issue. But if you'd be more specific in the question I'd be happy to discuss. Apologies if I have misunderstood.
The article says that in data center workloads, 15-20% of CPU cycles are spent in the kernel. Contrast that with Brendan Gregg's statement (for Netflix running on EC2): "Most microservices we have run hot in user-level applications (think 99% user time), not the kernel, so it's difficult to find large gains from the OS or kernel." [1] I wonder why the OP and Brendan had such different observations.

Population pyramids are interesting, I was looking at Russia, and how the huge losses from world war 2 echoed down through the generations. Then compared that to China and Japan and the United States. When I looked at Saudi Arabia to see a middle eastern country I saw a huge bulge in the number of men only. This doesn't make any sense.

There was an article about that recently - it wasn't proactively pushing an agenda so much as, if FB wanted to release any software as OS, without the grant, the lawyers would have had to review every commit to avoid violating someone else's patent.
Sounds like doing it automatically, instead of requiring code changes, would save a lot of work and speed up many programs where the programmers haven't gone through the trouble of doing this.
You lose the patent grant, which applies to all Facebook open source projects (not just React), so they can use all patents they own as part of a defensive portfolio.

If initiating a patent war with Facebook is a foreseeable business outcome for you, then you probably shouldn't use React. I remain convinced that logic applies to only a tiny minority of companies.
A lingering farewell to the username
You are of course free to try simple dimensionality reduction and nearest neighbors, and if that works on your problem that's fantastic. To the research community, though, problems where approaches like that work were considered "solved" decades ago. And of course, in industry, if there's a chance of that working it's tried. But no one's building self driving cars with PCA and LSH.
Or just a lack of drive/desire. In my office almost all of the management positions are filed by women while almost all the technical people are men. I asked about it when I was first hired and most of the people in the office had been offered management positions at some point during their career and they tuned them down because they'd rather do engineering work than human work.

Looking at the demographics you might suppose that there's a lot of bias and discrimination but it couldn't be further the truth. We just have lot of mobility and many options for salary increases without 'climbing the ladder' so everyone individually wound up where they wanted to be.
I think preact since they already used react and will only delay them a few weeks preact seems like the more sensible option
