> "college dropout"?

For the two best papers I published, both as sole author, I just submitted the papers to a journals I selected as appropriate to the content of the papers. Both journals were highly respected.

The submissions had nothing about my educational background.

Net, being a "college dropout" should be irrelevant.
Naw, you have it all wrong. They reversed engineered the YouTube API's and then suppressed YouTube ads. They deserved what they got for doing something that stupid and not thinking Google wouldn't find out.
Yeah, that is pretty crazy. The ball is usually already firmly in the employer's court. This kind of information greatly diminishes the already most-diminished's bargaining power.

Nice condescending post, but I'm not sure what your point is.

Here is what I believe:

> Many nursing scholarships are exclusively for men. Men in nursing get paid more than women in nursing

Both of these practices are extremely unfair and should be eliminated. A nursing job should pay the same no matter what sexual organs you have on your body.

Likewise, it is unfair to hire women in tech over men simply to fill a quota, no matter how noble your intentions are.
That move was likely political. Half the leaders internally wanted to let it die but to shift blame they let "the other team" launch it anyways to let it fail and say "told you so".

Interesting. Does this mean that I can use my phone to install all apps that I can on my laptop? Similar to how Ubuntu phone was in principle.

Can I apt-get install something in this (assuming debian/ubuntu installed) or have it's own app store?

Really interesting, but so many questions unanswered about what I can do with the phone once I buy it.

"Be civil. Don't say things you wouldn't say face-to-face. Don't be snarky. Comments should get more civil and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.

This makes an already asymmetrical negotiation even tougher. There are two other credit bureaus that ostensibly do the same exact thing, so even though Equihax has shut this down for now, it doesn't mean that it isn't still occurring.

> I don't think so. We've had multi-core CPUs for many years and developers haven't been taking advantage of those.

That's not remotely true. Does it scale linearly with core count? No, of course not. Similarly games are going to be perfectly playable with what most users have - which is dual & quad core, so scaling past that should expectedly be limited. A game isn't going to take advantage of something nobody has.

But games are absolutely multithreaded and do take advantage of it. There's a reason consoles have 8 cores, and it's not because Sony & Microsoft love to put in hardware that nobody will use.

If it was standard for gaming PCs to have 8 cores as well you'd see games utilizing that.

>People generally do love Silicon Valley and what it creates. It’s the media that doesn’t.

The problem is Google/YouTube, Facebook, Reddit and Twitter are behaving like media companies of past century. They wasted no time in doing that. Amazon + Washington Post is perfect example of bridge from one to other.

May be it would take Silicon Valley (creative minds not necessarily located just in few zip-codes in CA) to take down the giants that are Google/YouTube, Facebook and Twitter, or at least make them behave.

Reddit leadership team must be made to stand in front of photo of Aaron Swartz for one minute each day and be reminded of the cause. May be, just may be then the love would return.

I'm not sure how this works in China, but credit reporting isn't exclusively about credit cards (but that is probably the most common component). It's about anything that would involve extending credit - mortgages, car loans, personal loans, paying for a cell phone monthly, etc...

So, just because credit cards aren't common in China, doesn't mean that there isn't some other equivalent tracking going on... (although, I don't know any specifics).
I just built a PC and tried to budget as cheaply as possible while still retaining reasonable performance. It ended up costing $1200 (plus monitor, another $200). I went with a Ryzen 3 1300x and a RX580. I'd love some feedback about how I could have got the price down closer to $600 as I was disappointed in myself for only being able to get it down to $1200 + monitor. That said the performance is incredible.

Cut the pay of the few Executives and divide it among all the other 100's of employees. Will that bring the employees wages up to the right levels?

It's not necessarily the People but the machines/equipment they operate that are generating the 'more value' you speak of. The employees do not pay for this equipment and its maintenance. The Company does.

While it used to take 3 men 30 minutes to make a batch of ingredients with shovels and wheelbarrows, it now takes 1 Operator 30 seconds to push a button on an automated transfer system and watch it work. That one Operator is now producing 'more value' than his 3 predecessors. The lone Operator can now make 10 more batches a shift than 3 could before. Should he be paid accordingly for pushing a button versus the hard labor of 3 men?

I think the fact it's happening/has happened is 'bullshit' and that it's not 'right'. But the heavily automated jobs we have today aren't the same hard manual labor ones of the past. Large North American Manufacturers have to 'cut costs' to compete with offshore production, stay within strict Gov't Regulations, and survive(thus keeping jobs).

Wait, when you view her profile (as a friend), it shows who has the highest 'score' in terms of contact with her? Wow, that IS a lot of data if they break it down by contact pairs.
Sure - I'm not necessarily complaining with Apple. By reading more I could also have known that Spotify wasn't available. I tried to be pretty honest in describing my experience, and I don't blame them. It's also a consumer right, I think, to return a product if you discover that it doesn't meet your expectations.

Also, I thought that my experience could be useful to other people -- I don't think everybody's reading all details before making a purchase, so I wanted to share it.

Thanks for catching the typo, will fix it asap.

Have a look here, another embedded comments alternative. I'm looking to charge $2, + it's open source. Scroll down to the bottom, https://www.kajmagnus.blog/new-embedded-comments/

(The underlying discussion platform: https://www.effectivediscussions.org/ )

It has some cool features that people at HN might like: https://www.effectivediscussions.org/-32/how-hacker-news-can... (but I haven't ported all that to embedded-comments yet)
A few weeks ago there was a similar discussion, and I commented the following:

If you think there is no problem, you are wrong. The blog post does not show all the information leaks that this implies. Example: I can modify the script to monitor all the numbers I've in my phone, so that based on the online/offline status in a few weeks I can be able to guess who is having conversations together, discovering cheatings, work affairs, ...
EDIT: Practical example. After collecting enough data about user X I create a table about the probability of this user being online in a given few-minutes time ranges. Then I check the online frequency of that user compared to the online statuses of another user Y. If the difference compared to the expected probability is significant, than I can suspect the two are chatting.
Another thing I can use is that attivation delay of the online status, since often X sends a message to Y and this results in, a few seconds after, Y to be online, and then the contrary.

[then an HN user said she/he was not sure this was serious because maybe the users casually had similar patterns, so I replied:]

If you check the model I described in my comment, it should filter the "bus problem", since it will detect a chat only if, compared to the standard "bus time" probability of the user A chatting, it is chatting more if in the same range also B is chatting. If you add to this that people on Whatsapp usually do not talk to the exact minutes, it is definitely possible to create a robust system for guessing with good probability of two have often conversations. Also note that the phone numbers in input are not random, are the ones of a connected circle of persons. Add to this the fact that we can split the ranges even, potentially, by few minutes, and you can even detect interesting stuff for people having continuos chats with multiple persons like teenagers. Another thing that is possible probably is also "groups detection", since at new messages a set of users will activate at the same time.

[And the attack can be refined a lot with more powerful mathematical approaches]
I would like to see this applied to a dating app. Some people turn into complete monsters when faced with rejection.
WhatsApp will definitely be opened more than 11 times a day. I would argue the average is a lot closer to 11 times an hour than 11 times a day.
> it finally looked like the UWP Plattform might do the trick. Well nope. The SDK is garbage. Scaling from phone to desktop is hidiously bad and afaik still not solved.

A lot people tell me Xcode is garbage, Eclipse is a nightmare, but these apps keep getting cranked out. The Android / iOS language and platform api's are SNAFU, but people get still get into the IDE and start making, without any promise for a set of conversion-frameworks + XML files that will make the app for All The Things. At the rate an app builder is adding features, the universal-platform paradigm is cognitive overload.

I think a No-XML based approach to app development, similiar to VB6 / VBA, would have been greatly appreciated. If MS gives me a stable API to an email client, a calendar, a shared drive, and a messaging or video chat service, I'd spend the 5 hours to automate a 5 minute inconveneince. A windows phone with a bunch of "lifehacks" apps would tremendously useful to much of the smartphone market, as long as they had the cant-live-without-apps too.
Looking at her linkedin, it looks like management simply liked her work as a project manager on the tech team or liked her as a person.
I think you are a bit confused.

Credit cards only matter to Equifax and other credit scoring companies because of the "instant loan" that they give to a consumer. The banks that issue credit cards want to know if the consumer will pay back that loan.

As long as consumers can get instant loans through some kind of mechanism (credit card, phone, pinky swear, etc.) there will be a role for credit scores and the companies that generate them.
What is the closest thing you can get on front-end webdev to something like Windows Forms, WPF or QT Creator?

Ie something where adding a button or a dropbox in a specific location does not require intimate knowledge of CSS tricks while at the same time producing reasonable code.

I found old Actionscript more consistent than modern webdev.

What I mean I do not need to know advanced XAML to produce quick and decent CRUDs on Windows Presentation Foundation, while for the web this means hours spent reading up on various quirks.

It almost means that you need a dedicated front-end guy with you all the time if you want to iterate your design.
It might be worth doing just so WhatsApp will change how they validate access to #s.

I went looking to create an account for employment verification at Equifax about a week ago. It was via different channel that this Krebs one, where you go to the product page and can sign up for a one time check for around $40 IIRC. And it does require you to affirm you have permission from the employee before getting their data. How they verify that is beyond me.

I would love to know if there is a way to see what data is held on me, and who has requested it.

They sell at/near their cost (including warehousing, delivery, technology, etc.) which is lower than the cost of Walmart's brick and mortar presence.

Costco also sells at cost, almost all their profit is from membership fees (see Amazon Prime for Amazon's take on this.)
Lessig's review of What happened: Hillary’s view
> It's cool that women in tech roles have found a home at Sephora. Something feels a little weird seeing them about bragging about the hiring process being exclusive to women though

It's a fine line I think. I was in charge of recruiting before. Here are some observation and some things I did, some or many probably wrong:

* I'd try to bring more women onsite if I could. I justified it as giving them a another opportunity to prove themselves. Was it sexist to do it, I don't know. It maybe have been... The reason I did was that we were not a very diverse company. But I didn't do it to fulfill some generic diversity quota, so we can brag on Facebook about it or anything. It seemed to me that a diverse team would work better. There would be more strengths and perspectives. Same went for foreign candidates or people who are older and simply have more experience. I think it worked, we hired women who were very good, hard working and they met and exceed all the expectations. Aside from us spending a bit more resource on travel and time interviewing they still had to pass all the tests and interview steps. So I don't think we lowered the bar too much there.

* I found women were more reluctant to approach companies at college career fairs. Maybe it's sexist to say women are shy, so I might be stepping on some toes here. Sorry if it sounds that way. Not sure what to do there. One needs to be a bit aggressive and pushy in the context of how the interview works. Same applies to asking for raises and salary negotiations. Heck I am shy too. But when push comes to shove, I can at least pretend to be aggressive, but that might be hard for others.

* Not related to my personal interviewing experience, but in general, I wonder if women want to work in the tech field. Is it desirable profession at all? I am not so sure. We think this is an awesome career, we get to sit and solve cool problems, with cool technology, but maybe not everyone out there thinks that's so exciting. Programming pays relatively well compared to many professions out there, but again, maybe it's presumptuous to think that everyone out there will put money first above all and will want to maximize that element in their future career. I have the perspective of my wife for example, she really just wanted to be a mom and take care of the household. She graduated with the highest honors, but she's just not excited about being in her field, being at home and raising kids is what she enjoys. And yes, she has gotten criticism and negative remarks from "career" people about her "throwing her schooling and life away".
It's super early here, so it's likely they don't know a lot for sure. It's not like they have a working reference phone even yet, they're playing with a system board and getting touch working according to the last post.

I pitched in $20 to support them, but buying a phone I might not get that I wouldn't be able to use for at least a year that may or may not meet my needs at that time was a bit of a stretch for me. Willing to bet there are many others in the same boat there.
Confirmed by the BBC aswell. Facebook made millions by running personal ads for the Trump campaign, they even earned so much money that Facebook handed them a personal marketing assistant to work out any issue they might have had running their campaign.

And it is this particular campaign that won Trump the presidency, by the way.

A bodega is not a religious shrine, it's just a business like any other. I agree that the naming is tacky (it's like "Walmart" rebranding as "Mom & Pop's"), but that's about the extent of it. Certainly, they are not guilty of "decimating the American dream" by starting a business.

How to be a Good Coworker
I don't blame him for not paying close attention to "coming soon." If you watched the Apple Watch Keynote, the emphasis was on the experience of a tetherless Watch with streaming/phone/text services. If you're paying for that experience, I can understand why you would be frustrated. On the other hand, when you're on the bleeding bloody edge, maybe that experience is rough around the edges. A little patience would go a long way for this reviewer.
Nope, i’m not qualified. Anyone who dies will do it with their eyes open.

Let’s put it this way. If we can land explorers on Mars for $100B at a 5% risk of death, or spent $1 trillion to reduce that risk to 1%, should we wait decades to find funding for the safer plan?
