only to see that the conference organizers had photoshopped my face onto a sexualized image of Wonder Woman without my consent, printed it out, and framed it.

Isn’t it just an image of Wonder Woman, in full kit? Moreover, this iteration was recently hailed as a bit of a kickass lady, rather than a sex symbol. What makes this “sexualized” rather than a compliment about being like a Wonder Woman?

I agree with you, Chicago is brutal. I'm actually moving out west in a few months for the exact reasons you listed! But, as I said, I grew up in the rural midwest. I would caution people against considering it a cheap-land utopia.

Also, I would not equate moving to a small city in the midwest to moving to a small city in the Bay Area. You have at least a proximity to larger cities, and there is beautiful nature and weather to enjoy, along with better culture in general.

I don't think white people use white emoji because being white isn't part of their self-identity. That's one of the normalizing qualities of being the dominant type (e.g. Hollywood). Just like nobody points out that they are heterosexual.

I live in Mexico and my darker skinner friends use the color tinted emojis.
Sacramento is nearly a half a million people. The article seems to be talking about cities that are roughly a tenth that size, with populations around 40k-60k. (I have checked a few of them, but not all of them.)

Its estimated 2016 population of 493,025 makes it the sixth-largest city in California, the fastest-growing big city in the state,[11] and the 35th largest city in the United States.

> I am trying to avoid the word "shakedown", but this strikes me as exactly that.

Yes, the $90/month cost is going to hurt all the companies that have revenue greater than $1,000,000/year. This will put them out on the streets, I'm sure.

Let's be real: This does not apply to you, and on the off chance that it does, why are you complaining about paying $90 per month for something you should probably already be donating more to?

If your business depends on a tool/library and your revenue is in excess of $1,000,000, and you haven't yet donated to that project, you're just a leech. I guess we could both hope that your revenue falls below the limit so that you can escape these unfair shakedown licenses and continue not contributing in any way to the things you use.

There are plenty of affordable smaller cities around California. I'm not sure if any of them are attracting younger people. I haven't spent much time in Bakersfield but it wasn't that bad, and the mountains are close. Palmdale/Lancaster might be good, some tech/aerospace out there, you have to like the desert though. Vacaville seems to have industry, mostly manufacturing. There are also plenty of smaller communities in the north state, not sure about jobs, probably none.

> This means they are able to cover more, and go deeper in to the subject because there is no time "wasted" educating an "average" student.

Sort of.

Even in a class of motivated and gifted learners, there are some learners who are more motivated and/or gifted.

One of the most frustrating experiences for me at Ivy schools was having to slow the discussion down for the less-talented folks. Don't get me wrong, they were still (mostly) smart and knowledgeable, but there was a palpable difference in discussions that accommodated the slower people and those that didn't (e.g., office hours, some seminars, informal round tables, etc.).

In short, and imho, there is still time "wasted" educating an "average" student at these schools, it's just that the "average" is usually quite a bit higher.

Obviously not, since apart from the hair (or lack thereof), the two brothers look almost identical.

Yes it’s exactly the same. I tend to get some of the difficult and fun tasks like writing parsers and things and that comes along once every couple of years or so :(
...without really adding value

My go-to example of why build tools are essential is subresource integrity hashing. If adding a hash was a manual process every time you had to deploy a new version of a site then no developer would bother, and the user's security would suffer for it. With Webpack (or any of its peers) it's a matter of installing an NPM module and adding it to the plugins configuration. That's it. That's a huge amount of value for practically no effort. Writing new plugins is hard, but few developers ever need to do that.

I spent 3 days learning the basics of Webpack and I've never looked back. It's a fantastic tool that any modern web developer ought to know.

> It also unfortunately is a thing here on HN as well. To this day I still get downvoted not for the content of my comments, but because solely people "recognize" me.

Out of curiosity, how do you know that?

Personally I think the audience on HN is pretty diverse and the response depends a lot on context (TFA), so assuming that you're not writing dumb things, an expressed opinion might not be as popular as you think depending on the audience inclined to read the comments of a particular article. For example I criticize Apple, Google, Microsoft, Facebook and others equally and noticed that for the same negative opinion about them I got vastly different responses, depending on article and timing.

Also, don't get me wrong, but noticed your Twitter profile in your description — and an account with only 286 followers isn't so popular as to be recognizable across the web.

I'm not disputing that you've been harassed on Twitter, I also have friends that have been harassed and Twitter did nothing about it. Just saying, in regards to thinking that your opinions are rejected due to whom you are, just make sure you're not paranoid.

Yah the strategy of a cheap house doesn't work as well if you have children who need an education. Most of the areas partly expensive (in high demand) because of the excellent local schools. In being expensive the schools then get even more money. Unless education funding is distributed uniformly I can't see this changing soon.

The reason iOS 11 sucks in my opinion, is that Apple has a finite number of iOS developers, and this year, they needed to invest tons of work in iPhone X UI + Gesture work + Hardware support + Face ID + New GPU (while in the previous years, things were kinda stable / iterative on most fronts).

Since they work on one iOS for all devices, they had much less attention for bug fixes and stabilization, and they have a 1 year limit because of the new device cycle.

This update model sucks, because when there are big hardware changes, the software is less mature even for older devices, and they don't back port security issues, so you have no choice but to update...
> However, one question has occurred to me: what has the actual consequence of the skin-tone-modifier been on real-world emoji use?

And how do these consequences lead to Unicode being over/dead as the post title suggests?
First a point of curiosity, have you seen a linux 1:1 system with blocking I/O scaled to millions of active threads? I have only ever seen it with epoll. My working assumption has been that the kernel blocking calls won't scale, but I have not tested that.

Second, almost all the event-driven C++ servers I have seen are written that way not for performance, but for scaling and latency. There is usually plenty of extra CPU and RAM, only a tiny fraction really bump up against resource limits. (A typical case of the vast majority of code not being performance sensitive.)

Otherwise, I agree with your points in this comment. Especially the broader point that there's no novel component of Go. Go is about combining well-known things together.

However, it seems to me that Go still cuts through the "threads vs. events" argument in a way nothing else does. I can write code in a blocking style using typical libraries, and have it scale to large numbers of active connections.

On other systems the implementations don't scale or I have to heavily restrict library use based on stack growth, or I am tied to a particular OS. It seems to me the only alternatives to Go's nice blocking code environment require significant compromise or require something to be built.
Sorry, didn't happen to me, I would have found an alternative.

I think the person you're replying to is referring to the fact you highlight, that money is the qualifier for who lives better or worse, as part of the scam.

Should the impoverished just pull themselves up by their bootstraps harder?

Conversely, do people who reject materialistic tenets of society deserve lower quality education?

It could be that those doctors and CPAs are just following in other peoples' footsteps, following life paths prescribed for them. As a poster below mentioned, they aren't necessarily the happiest people.

Isn't part of what we're talking about is that what is considered "normal" is up for debate, and some people choose something off the beaten path of the high-powered career-oriented lifestyle? That they're diversifying the focus of their waking hours instead of putting in overtime to the man to pay insane rent, and finding out that it is gratifying?

Perspective - if someone photoshopped my face onto pancho villa I could choose to be undermined or be a good sport about it, regardless of how wrong the other party may have been.

I will say this, being outraged may vault her into the limelight and accelerate her name recognition, if not for a moment. Almost sounds like an incentive to choose to be a victim
That since this requires both a PIN and an unlikely similar face (brothers that look more like twins) it's a moot point?

This should be buried, and I would never invite her to speak again because she is drama.

This is a trend of hyper sensitivity that requires everyone to walk on eggshells and wear kid gloves because who knows what could trigger the emotional reaction. Really, think about this - what if a company tries to do something fun, like for halloween, and buys clip-on ties for the guys and clip-on hair ties for the girls, but then someone flips out saying "I'm a guy why do i have to be stereotyped into having a tie, this is so sexist! (and the girls can do the reverse - I want a tie!). It's all just nonsense from people who don't have any emotional maturity, really.

Were the conference organizers trying to do the wrong thing? Doesn't sound like it at all. They probably thought "wonder woman is cool, this lady is cool, this image will be cool" and it was actually an act to celebrate her.

Instead she flips out. Great, real mature. Then she posts conversations she had with them and demonizes them. real mature.

And about her point of being sexualized - what if a guy had his face photoshopped onto he-man and that guy complained about being sexualized because now his face is on a shirtless strong dude. These arguments only go one way for people like this.

There is a line, of course, and sexual harassment is real. But this isn't anywhere near the line, its not even in the same field. We need to send a message back to her that she is the one being drama and needs to grow up and be a 'real adult' like she says she is.
I liked the part about the hidden curriculums. Any idea how one would balance it with the actual one when you have plans to go to grad school?

For me, the hidden curriculum is in machine learning and AI. I was recently given a chance (as an undergrad) to join such company. I think this is my best chance to learn about the field in a qualitative way and possibly get my name on a research paper before I graduate with a BSc. I'd work under the supervision of Ph.D.'s in the field.

That being said, for my grad school efforts, I would need to keep my GPA in check, which is currently 3.2, but which would suffer a blow. My question is that does anyone have an idea whether admission boards (in private US colleges) tend to tolerate lower GPAs for whatever hidden curriculum I've found, given it's still academic and aligned with the actual degree I'm applying to? I'd be applying as an international student.

The financial crisis delayed the usual process of marriage, having children, and house buying for millenials. Instead of doing it in their mid/late 20's, they held off until late 20's/early 30s.

Everyone likes to be young and in the city. It's fun. You can go out and have unlimited options for things to do, places to eat, etc.

The exorbitant rent charges for luxury apartments is something that becomes unpalatable once you get sick of living with roommates, or want to have a family. As people get older they generally go out less and appreciate nature, personal space, and quiet more. (Obviously a generalization but in aggregate is true)

It's also easier than ever to take an Uber in to the city, should you wish, to avoid parking and drinking and driving.

Jeez, You're the one with a serious lack of empathy. People with physical disabilities aren't worthless vegetables.

These twins have only experienced life this way thus it's their version of normal. Conjoined twins who live into adulthood don't have a particularly poor quality of life simply from being conjoined (rather than the health effects). They can usually learn to do most of the same things as singletons. If you ask them, many say they prefer being conjoined.[1] It's definitely personal for everyone involved.

I'm reminded of the study that found quadriplegics and lottery winners having basically the same level of happiness one year later.

I'm sure there are many, many challenges for them but pointing to them saying "your life is terrible, you have to drink from an angle" shows a profound lack of empathy and full and complete inability to see anything from a perspective outside your own and is quite shocking.

>And how will you have relationships with other people?

Like everyone else, just a little different. The famous conjoined twins known as "The Siamese Twins" that traveled with PT Barnum both married and both had double digit children each. Conjoined twins may also not feel quite as much of a need to seek out romantic relationships as singletons since they already have a life partner attached.

> grew up in a town with 30,000 people (much smaller than Cedar Rapids) in the PNW. It's rabidly republican. Also 30% Hispanic.

You grew up in a completely different part of the country than what I am referring to: The Midwest, specifically the Cedar Rapids area, so I don't really see how your arguments about how somewhere completely across the country is a better place to live is applicable.

In fact: Your statement that the nature around you is great is EXACTLY MY POINT! The Midwest is flat and we've butchered all of our forests in order to plant corn fields. Don't move there. The cheap land isn't worth it.

Yeah, the PNW is amazing. I think living there would be great, which is why I'm moving there in the next few months.

edit: A apologize if I came off smarmy in my reply, it's obviously my fault that I wasn't clear enough that my feelings are very specific to the midwest, and even more specifically for the cedar rapids area.
> There are plenty of nutty mathematical or physics theories around.

At least for mathematics I have hardly seen any "nutty mathematical theories" (I am a PhD student in mathematics, but not a physicist, so I cannot say anything about physics here). The reason that I see is that for a math text to be considered as solid, it has to contain good, understandable proofs - which are hard to write by "crackpots". To be more precise: On sceptic's blogs I have of course seen links to papers containing "mathematical crackpottery", but I have hardly ever seen those "in the open countryside".
