"The suit cites data from a 2015 review of Google’s employment practices by the U.S. Department of Labor’s contract compliance unit that’s the subject of a separate federal administrative complaint against the company. The agency performed a statistical regression analysis of the pay for roughly 21,000 employees at the company’s Mountain View office for 2015, according to the complaint. The analysis “found systemic compensation disparities against women pretty much across the entire workforce," according to the suit."

Obviously not specific to these 3 women, but it does seem to be based on "data" and not anecdotes.
Well, no, I think that's the right word to convey that. I don't see life as meaningful because of the amount of time I spent at my job really.
The struct solution is a design pattern for creating a sum type. The lambda solution is a factory for creating any sum type as long as the parameter in each lambda is unique.

Among other things, it's a design with weaker coupling.

I guess sum was only implemented to support numeric values. However you can easily roll your own:

>>> def add(it):
... return reduce(lambda x, y: x + y, it)
...
>>> add(['hello ', 'world'])
'hello world'
>>> add(x for x in xrange(10))
45

Edit: almost forgot a possibly even more Pythonic way:

>>> import operator
>>> def add(it):
... return reduce(operator.add, it)
>I would want to mention that the definition of leader don't perfectly match between alpha males in animals and human leaders.

Of course not, but it's "perfect" enough to be evolutionary advantageous.

>There were no punishment for the older female baboons. No fight when they stopped following the alpha. The alpha is permitted to lead, but only to a point.

Of course in not all cases will the alpha be the best leader, I won't even remotely argue that.

But I've seen time and time again, the best leaders are often the most bold. Sometimes it's simply not clear what decision should be made and instead of allowing that indecisiveness to spread throughout the group, a decision is quickly made for better or worse and it's confidently executed. Your better leaders will be able to make better decisions from incomplete data that maximize opportunity and reduce risk.

There are a few takeaways from your anecdote:

1. Leader doesn't always know what leader is doing, but does it anyway. Sometimes looking the part is more important than being the part.

2. Better a heard of apes lost than a feeding ape alone - predators be watching.

3. Pull on the skills of a larger group - the old and wise female baboons for their apparent localization, the male baboons for fighting off a predator, the females for directly looking after the interests young, etc.

The people fulfilling the roles may change, but the roles themselves remain.
"Pascal is a "hidden" gem in the area of languages"

I agree. Programmers won't look at it because they perceive it to be old and out-of-date. But the language hasn't stood still. It's a fast, low-memory language. FreePascal with the Lazarus IDE is one of the best cross-platform development toolkits for building native desktop apps.

Sadly a lot of programmers can never see beyond the verbose (but readable) syntax.

OpenBSD vs. FreeBSD
Nobody wins, when the family feuds. ~ Sean Carter. OpenBSD has all the right ideas and a proven track record. The same argument can be made for FreeBSD.

And I get it. Differences are what make us unique and who doesn't like having options? However a small demographic of users only care about the best possible outcome. I never understood "fanboydom" and while I use FreeBSD I see it as only a tool. In that regard like most engineers I only care about refining my tool set.

I'm curious about other peoples thoughts on this? Is anybody else sick of playing wack-a-mole when it comes to features... for fucks sake I just want all the dope tech in one place. lets just put all this shit in one OS with the option to choose specific features. Lets keep it free of GNU-ware and the shitty GPL...

> I just happen to think that that medium is physics

Could you clarify what you mean by that? Physics is branch of knowledge, a collection of descriptions of regularities in material structures evolving in time. I don't see how a collection of descriptions can be the medium in which subjectivity/qualia exist. See what I mean?

Or you mean what's referred to in those descriptions? If so, I see a difficulty in it because you just get back to the same subjectivity/qualia problem. I mean, what is being referred to in those descriptions? Our starting point for what physics is talking about is subjectivity—the only thing we have direct empirical contact with. Then we make abstractions on top of it so that various parts are grouped into 'objects' etc. (that grouping is largely subconscious), and then physics comes into play in giving descriptions of regularities in the time evolution of categories of those objects. But none of that deals with what the objects being discussed are, it just just talks about how a selection of characteristics which happen to be useful to use change in time.

I know some people believe the best we can do is say that what something is is the collection of things we say about it. So, the things being referred to in physics are the regularities in certain of their attributes, e.g. the measurements we make of their mass and velocity, and the forces being applied to them or which they are applying etc.

Personally that sounds like a cop-out, though granted, it's at least an attempt at a pragmatic cop-out: after all, what's the point in entertaining the idea that there's more to the thing if we know we can never access it/talk about it. But here's the value: if you just admit the boundaries to your knowledge, your taking a more realistic account of things (the alternative of pretending the boundaries aren't there can only lead to mistakes). In that case, we have not discovered what the things are which are referred to by physics, we have just charted regularities in certain attributes we care about (it's also important to note that we invented those attributes, and which set of attributes we deem to be the intrinsic/essential
characteristics have a degree of arbitrariness to them since
multiple equivalent formulations exist—e.g. reformulations of Newtonian mechanics which give the same outputs for the same inputs but in which the notion of 'force' does not exist, or relativistic/quantum mechanics of course, though that's moving beyond strict reformulation).

Edit: I clarified a number of things on re-reading a few minutes after posting!

There is no such thing as a market with no involuntary transactions, as all externalities are involuntary transactions.

When your factory is producing noise pollution around it, is that a volutary transaction you have entered into with your neighbours? What about when it pollutes the air, or the water? What about transactions where both sides don't have perfect information? How can you voluntarily agree to a transaction in which you don't know what you're getting, but your counterparty does? What about the fact that most revealed preferences are largely fiction?

Voluntary transactions are pure fiction. Nothing actually operates on that principle. You can't construct a functioning society from them, without requiring an orgy of arbitrary logical and ethical gymnastics.

I get the knee-jerk reaction to anything like this is to shout "THAT'S RACIST" and get on with life, but this is definitely a thing that's happening. Whether it's damaging or not is a separate question.

My partner is, for the sake of argument and to remove emotion, let's say Romulan. She came here from Romulus over 10 years ago to attend school. Her parents have started coming here in the past year or two on and off.

In the couple years I've been with her, I've come to discover there's an entire shadow society of Romulans operating within the city I live in that doesn't operate by the laws or regulations that the rest of society operates under. Admission is granted on the basis of being Romulan.

None of these people, including my partner for the first decade she was here, really have or had any incentive to participate in the existing society. It's much less effort to only associate with other Romulans. They have more immediately in common with them, and fewer barriers. And they can get everything they need from the other Romulans.

I have no wish for these people to give up their culture. Our existing culture is described as a "cultural mosaic" - many people's own cultures getting along. I think that's just fine. And I appreciate getting to experience everyone's culture (within the bounds of some basic ideals such as our stance towards human rights and equality).

The isolation does concern me. If there's no effort to intentionally cohabitate except in the sense of physical proximity - to just generally understand each other - I can see an issue of empathy arising. I can see some pretty destructive divides forming or deepening, as in the case of the current xenophobia.

I don't think that's sustainable long term.

Neither of those are really good options, despite your attempt to spin it. Do you think a parent is merely being "easily offended" if they don't want their kids watching "Fifty Shades of Grey" or the equivalent on YouTube? I agree that the other extreme isn't much good either. That's why it's hard.

Note that no one said anything about a technical solution. Google's human review process is what failed here, and that's what I'm saying is likely to continue.
Not really. "Manual" memory allocation is usually malloc/free, which leaves a lot of gaps.
I'm guessing WeChat would be considered a monopoly in China, if they cared about such things.

Smaller companies do scary things too. Consider Equifax, the zillion adtech companies out there injecting Javascript everywhere, and all the no-name Android vendors that never put out security updates. At least some of the big names invest in improving security and do some policing of the smaller ones.

The Internet's feudal structure comes from specialization due to outsourcing security, often from smaller to larger companies. Cloudflare is largely in the business of providing protection to smaller companies. Or take the whole cloud thing; this makes security much easier than running your own data center.

Even at the individual level, we don't want to run our own spam filters and moderate our own comments. We want a trusted source of security updates. Someone needs to keep the bad guys out so we give others the power to do it for us.

I read that they are not able to force you to provide a pin.

But even if you're right, this doesn't change my argument. Most people are less secure most of the time in the absence of biometric authentication. Because without it, they will opt for zero security. You can always use the pin in addition, for whatever that's worth.

Only for the root of a site, but there are better cache expiration options as noted elsewhere anyway.

For inner pages, browsers do consider /your-page-url?v=1505418887 to be a completely different page from /your-page-url?v=1505418888.

However, just expiring cache and/or properly setting HTTP cache control headers at most CDN's is a cleaner and more correct option.

It wouldn't really be about the pay for me.

I'd want my union to crush open plan workplaces, especially the ones that stick software development next to sales. Please put 4.5" of solid wall, and at least one closeable door, between me and all that incessant yapping on the raprod.

Also, it would be nice to ban cargo-culting. Like daily all-hands "stand-up meetings" that last 45 minutes. Don't let management make us take personality quizzes that pigeonhole us into cute alliterative categories.

And if I could manage my insurance and retirement plan through the union instead of my company, that would be great. I have to deal with new accounts and fill out new forms every time I switch companies, and also every time my company gets acquired or merged. And don't think I haven't noticed them gradually turning my healthcare insurance to garbage, and increasing my share of the premiums every time.

Currently, the only way for me to counter some moves is by job-hopping. That doesn't help if employers are all secretly running the same playbook.

Also, it's unclear what court you're supposed to file in. I did some research and, at least in New York, you're supposed to file a claim where the defendant does business. I put my local county small claims court in (New York County
Civil Court), but I'm not sure if that was right. Maybe because Equifax is such a big company doing business everywhere I can file in my local court? Otherwise it looks like I would need to file in Atlanta, where their headquarters is.

As others note, it's already possible to remotely wipe/lock a stolen phone, and if you report it stolen to the carrier, they'll list the IMEI in a database shared to other carriers; many will refuse to activate/connect when their SIM is inserted into a phone with a known-stolen IMEI.

Short of visibly, physically destroying the phone, though, there's nothing you can do to prevent this. A criminal doesn't care that the phone is a brick; they'll sell it to someone and be miles away with the money before the buyer realizes the phone is useless.

> Is note taking in interviews seen as necessary?

It's increasingly common at companies that have highly standardized/calibrated interview processes. Often, this is for the express purpose of avoiding discrimination. Interviewers have to ask approved questions, measure them according to specific criteria, then express their evaluation in terms of a number and be prepared to justify it. That allows the numbers for different candidates to be compared meaningfully, like to like. The downside is that it's impossible to do all that without taking notes.

Isn't a shortage technically defined as when supply can't meet demand? Capped prices is one potential cause, but demand also isn't always very elastic and this can cause shortages on it's own.
Where are you getting that Pascal is the most memory efficient (edit: duh, under the "memory efficiency" table, mistakingly read this as "efficient")? It's firmly in the middle of the pack in every result, in their global result table it's slower and less energy efficient than Java (!). It's only advantage is that it's smaller than anything else.

If that were true then it would have come as a surprise to the history department that did want to hire her. She earned her undergraduate degree and published from within prison, so it wasn't a secret. The history department had to assist her with the submission of her application because she was unable to use the online application system from within prison.

The professors' whose memo questioned whether she had minimized her crime “to the point of misrepresentation” are complaining that her application focused on her academic achievements and not enough on her crime. In doing so, they are setting themselves up as better assessors of her rehabilitation than the parole board which specializes in that task and has her whole legal and custodial history.

Professor Stauffer's subsequent comments about how it would play on fox News suggest that he's more concerned with appearances than academic rigor. His fear of criticism undermines his academic mission.
True, but the runnable code on that page is several levels of abstraction removed from the actual Game of life states.

The page you linked runs the code in a Javascript implementation of their CPU. That's a significant shortcut. The CPU was otherwise implemented with logic gates that were implemented with varlife circuits that were implemented with metapixels in Game of Life. None of this is present in the browser implementation.

As logicallee's comment below says, the actual Game of life board behind the implementation is absolutely massive with tens of gigabytes needed to represent the state of the Tetris computer.
Details are obviously different in each country but around here in Germany credit bureaus can't track you without consent. It's pretty hard to avoid giving that if you want to interact with banks and other companies but it definitely is possible if you are careful about what you do. Of course if you decide not to grant that consent many companies will not do business with you. Not sure what your point about Amazon is, of course the same rule applies to them as to anyone else.

The government itself has very strict rules about what data can be collected and accessed. Unfortunately those rules are sometimes violated (especially in the intelligence space).

At work we have some private data we need to perform our tasks of tens of millions of people. However, that data is regularly pruned and purged on a defined schedule so that we never have more than we strictly need. That's in stark contrast to what e.g. Facebook does which apparently holds onto every bit of data they have ever collected about anyone in case it might be profitable to use at some point.

You seem to treat "data science" as a subset of science, but it's really not - it generally is used to refer to the application of scientific methods to data analysis outside of "the field of science" in various business environments, and that is a much wider field with more people than those actually working in science.
It exists because HTTP is not a good replacement for it.

It's especially mediocre when you want to download/upload multiple files like a directory with many files inside of it.

A friend recently shared with me his file collection, through OwnCloud. It was such a pain to download. Each file is a separate link. I can't use wget to pull it, because of authentication. It had some cli tools, but it was buggy and couldn't make it work. And of course no ftp. Essentially it forced me to click every single file. I couldn't even verify the files downloaded correctly.

FTP is actually great for what it does and with clients like lftp it's fairly enjoyable to use. If you want to kill it, better make a worthy alternative.
