When men openly discuss not meeting with women because of a fear of being falsely accused (which itself is exceedingly rare) of inappropriate behavior or molestation, what are women supposed to conclude?

That they aren't being denied networking opportunities or opportunities to build working relationships?

What is a positive take-away for women from powerful or monied men saying, in public, "I am afraid of meeting with women, so I no longer will"?

For the record, I'm a dude and when I hear men say this, I think much less of them--for being cowardly and shutting women out of industry for their cowardice.

This comment is absolutely meaningless. You realize none of the models you mention have open sourced drivers, right? thanks to two or three companies that refuse to share their super secret (ha, it is all commodity) code to power the modem, camera, digitizer, SoC, etc.

All those devices will continue to only be supported for <4 years (in the very best case!) and then off to increase the "outdated devices" count or the landfill!

I've been wondering about that, and how for the "app" side of the webstack if wasm will wipe out the traditional webstack "apps" and put things back in a more orderly fashion. Webstack for web documents, wasm for applications.
If wasm becomes the univeral app platform for many appstores and the browser, I'd welcome that over Electron.

It's probably inevitable that shoving Node based apps into the market falls flat in favor of more efficient native code solutions due to mobile. I've been viewing Electron as a temporary stopgap with that in mind at least.

Most of the graphical widgets in Android apps come from the support lib.

The most complex and important is probably RecyclerView : it allows to implement recycling lists of items and replace the framework implementation.

It is not even part of the base framework since it is way more convenient to update it independently from the OS (and as a dev, you only have to handle whatever version you ship your app with).

There are shims for many of the framework features too, for exemple notifications or media.

Overall it makes the dev experience very smooth.

IMO the problem with the lack of update is mostly security

The article doesn't mention the printing press. The invention of the press fueled explosive growth, because printers printed handbooks on anything and everything, and so knowledge became cheap and widely available. My personal view is the IR started with the printing press.

We're in the middle of a second IR caused by the internet, for analogous reasons.
I dunno if I’d say that makes you a jerk, but it strikes me as maybe a little overcautious. As with any security/safety issue, I think it comes down to the threat model you’re using. What’s the attack vector you’re protecting against? How likely is it that any attempt on that vector will succeed? What’s the damage if it succeeds? Speaking for myself, it never seems like I need to go too far out of my normal mode in order to keep the whole threat model in check.
Yeah, that's the only thing on the list that I thought was weird, that's why I said "most." The closed door meetings in all these sexual misconduct stories were really, really egregious and would be easily avoided.

Everything else is just being professional.
You aren't paying them $60 for their netcode and servers, you are paying for the entire game. Games aren't interchangeable.

I understand the fear of men being accused of harassment and losing their career over a he said, she said. However, the stories coming out recently look nothing like a he said she said. I'm not aware of any the recent allegations being based on two professionals meeting alone for a professional discussion and the woman accusing the man of harassment. There seems to be a lot of invitations back to hotel rooms, or numerous, numerous women claiming groping and outright sexual assault. The facts on the accusations here are not public, as far as I'm aware, so I can't speak to this allegation specifically. But to imply that men need to not have normal business interactions with women to protect from this doesn't seem to match up with the facts here and sounds like FUD that does a disservice to women who deal with real harassment.

Lvl5 (YC W17) is hiring software engineers for self-driving
We receive video and other telemetry measurements from our fleet, and run advanced computer vision algorithms on the data to map the roads with high precision -- down to just a few centimeters. Unlike traditional maps, HD maps contain all the nitty-gritty details of the road, such as where the car should look for traffic lights, and how to turn through a complex intersection.

Our crowdsourced approach combines computer vision + consumer GNSS data with high-accuracy LiDAR base maps to make sure self-driving cars know about every change in the driving environment.

We're ex-Tesla and iRobot engineers on a mission to make self-driving cars scale everywhere in the world.

To apply, please send your resume to careers@lvl5.ai

We're looking for very bright people. You must have a software engineering background, however previous experience in autonomous vehicles or robotics is not a requirement (but a plus).

Stack is mostly Python with C++ and various other ML + SLAM tools.

Hospitals absolutely have plans like this in place. He certainly leaned on his prior experiences to apply lessons learned previously (as we all do), but there was absolutely a plan in place outside of his personal experiences.

The trauma center in our region holds similar "mock incidents" at least once a year. Certainly nothing to this scale (there's just no way to practice that...), but they routinely run drills with dozens of patients and simulate various in-hospital system failures.
> At New Relic, we describe it internally as “someone who is constantly analyzing every change for its risk and what its impact could be down the road, not just today. And what does that mean for the larger infrastructure?”

In many orgs, this is regarded as nay-saying and ignored.

> There’s little upside in a siloed approach that throws a change over the wall with no concern for how it might affect the person sitting on the other side.

Often, any change that impacts another person _at all_ is considered to be too much of an impact, regardless of the benefits. Developer workflows are usually prioritized.

> You embrace every opportunity to automate

My experience has been that automation is not prioritized if it blocks anything else. Running the business takes priority. The signal missed here is that this usually means there isn't enough staff to handle the daily run-the-business tasks and the necessary automation.

> “You need to be able to dig in and say ‘stop’ and ‘no, we really need to to do this thing now,’ which can be difficult to do in some engineering organizations,”

Asking your engineers to sell stability rather than backing them up with institutional support is an organizational smell.
I've got a 7 or 8 year old Google Nexus phone. Google stopped updating the OS 5 years ago. The only impact I've noticed is that newer apps won't run on and older OS. For me, however, that really isn't a problem since I use it for making and receiving calls and texts, and checking my email. Right now, I'm in no hurry to lay out hundreds for a new phone, Apple or Android, that will be obsoleted in just a couple years when the vendor abandons it.

> All of this means Uber, and other ride-sharing services, must lean heavily on pricey incentive payments—cash for completing a certain number of rides a week, say—to bring driver earnings above what typically amounts to around minimum wage

This seems kind of obvious to me. Uber's main drawcard for drivers is that there's almost no barrier to entry. Most jobs earning more than minimum wage have some significant barrier to entry (required qualifications, experience, skills, knowing the right people etc.) and so if Uber pays more than minimum wage, anyone in a minimum wage job will switch to driving for Uber. This lowers individual earnings for drivers until other low-barrier-to-entry minimum-wage jobs become competitive again and drivers start switching back to those jobs.
No one has ever had a way out, but many have believed they did over the centuries.
If there were proof - emails, texts, etc - it would have been leaked to recode and other publications to avoid perceptions like mine. Public disclosures of these kinds of actions are meticulously calculated. Mr. Jurveston clearly disputes the allegations, to the point where he is promising litigation. The lack of evidence publicly presented likely means that it is a flimsy accusation - likely a “he said/she said” kind of thing. The sad thing is that in a post-Weinstein world, “she said” seems to be all that matters.
Yes, I think user apathy has to be a big part of it.

I have a 2012 iPhone5 with iOS 6.1.3 still on it. I never upgraded it. When iOS 7 came out, all the news reports said it killed the battery. Same with iOS 8, 9, and finally iOS X.

Yes, I assume that eventually, iOS point release 7.x.x fixed the battery issue but I don't care to keep visiting news websites to figure out which exact version is finally "safe" to upgrade. I don't want to be a slave to the housekeeping of my phone.

Others say the news reports are alarmist -- all one has to do after a new iOS release is to dig into the settings and disable all the new features/polling/etc that eats up the battery. But it's the same situation -- I don't want to put the effort into learning "what's new" that I have to disable.

On the other hand, I'll quickly upgrade major releases of MS Visual Studio from VS2015 to VS2017, or upgrade Webstorm from 2016 to 2017.

I was puzzled over my contradictory approaches to updating software. I think I figured it out: my phone feels like an "appliance" to me instead of a computer and I don't want to mess it up. Another reason is that Apple won't let me pick an exact version to upgrade. I can't pick iOS 7.1.2 -- I'm forced to upgrade to the buggy iOS X or nothing at all.

As a result, I have willingly performed an "IE6" legacy lobotomy on my iPhone.

(As trivia, I also notice that iPhone5s on ebay that still have iOS 6 sell for a slightly higher premium.)
HR departments are intended to protect the company from liability. Generally speaking, they do that by taking standardized actions regarding harassment claims because otherwise they open the company up to lawsuits and negative PR.

Basically, it's irrational to try to cover up or ignore harassment in the vast majority of cases. Which is why HR is a perfectly decent solution for most of these issues, and we only hear about a few outliers in the media / law suits.

"No pulse" sounds objective... but how long do you look for one? On two occasions I've had doctors fail to find my pulse even while I was been alert and talking to them -- admittedly the pulse they couldn't find was radial, but the only circulatory issue I had was moderate dehydration.

Is it implausible that under these conditions someone would be uncertain whether there was no pulse or simply a weak pulse which they missed?
This.

I have two engineering degrees and studied neural networks in college. He cuts down about 3 months worth of math to a couple of lines of code in such a way that makes it make sense AND is productive.

I'm a woman and I am a feminist.

Unless you are an actor or dancer any sort of touching with coworkers is very inappropriate for all genders, sexual or non sexual touching included. Keeping your work and professional lives separate is just good sense. It's rude to make comments about other people's appearances unless you are very close friends with them. Closed door meetings are sometimes needed but you should never do them excessively or with only the young or attractive, that looks like you're being inappropriate.

Basically, it's just professionalism and should apply to everyone, all genders.

I an friendly with my colleagues but I don't want to be friends with them. I prefer to keep my professional relationships professional and my personal relationships personal.
The worst part is that you probably couldn’t pick a worse franchise to adapt into a Game of Thrones-style show. LotR is all about a Manichean struggle between good and evil, and about dreaming and wanderlust and journies. GoT is about cold, brutal, gritty realpolitik and the realities of power, war, and violence. Shoving GoT themes into a world that was basically built for precisely opposite ideas is lazy and will probably produce jarring, unnatural stories.
>If we look at the newest Android release (8.0, 8/2017), it looks like you’re quite lucky if you have a two year old device that will get the latest update. The oldest “Google” phone supported is the Nexus 6P (9/2015), giving it just under two years of support.

And 2 years is the best-case scenario. Compare to nearly 5 years for iOS devices (which, as far as I can tell was prompted only by a move to 64-bit SoC). It's beyond me that Google hasn't taken a more extreme approach to keeping their devices up-to-date.
Make sure you are regularly backed up. Anecdote, but I bootlooped -- that's with quite gentle care. Friend bootlooped a couple of weeks later.

You'd be surprised how many workloads end up spending large amounts of time in memcmp / strcmp. The chief advantage of big-endianness is that a 64-bit read is already in the order necessary for strcmp or memcmp. This means you don't need specialized instructions for fast strcmp / memcmp. Though, I would guess in a pipelined implementation with good pre-fetch logic, you'll usually not pay any time penalty (and only a single instruction in size penalty) for a byte order swap instruction in the middle of strcmp / memcmp.

They're very different tools. Your system's LAPACK is probably crazily optimized (e.g. ATLAS or MKL) [1], so if you can reduce your problem to LAPACK subroutines, that's probably the way to go. If you have lots of cores and your problem doesn't neatly reduce to LAPACK, OpenMP will probably help you. In either case, you're well-served spending some quality time with a profiler, and possibly fighting your compiler's optimizer.

[1] In case you're not familiar with it, ATLAS runs a bunch of small programs to figure out what approach is fastest on your specific machine, trying different instructions and memory access patterns for different array/matrix sizes. Cool stuff.
Up until quite late, metallurgy was more experimentation and experience than scientific practice. If they'd decently understood their materials, there probably wouldn't have been so many people injured or killed by exploding boilers.
I think we lack empathy. How would we men feel if the situation was switched?

At work we discussed a customer who wouldn't shake hands with women because of his religion. A coworker said that's not sexist and the company should accommodate the customer.
I asked him how he'd feel if a customer's religion bars handshakes with white dudes. He looked down and had no response.

Yeah that's totally true, but I feel strangely about it, like treating the YIMBY's as a force of nature takes the morality out of it. If I owned anything else, like a bike, then it's mine because the law says you can't take it. You can't say it's ok to take it because I foolishly didn't account for you changing the law and then taking it. You aren't a force of nature, you're changing something someone else bought.

I'm all for affordable housing and mostly side with YIMBY's, but there's something weird about changing the rules and saying "sucks for you, shoulda seen it coming."
My understanding (and this is from a limited amount of Googling, so if you have domain experience I'll gladly defer to your judgement) is that black tags are applied to those who are already thought to be deceased, _or_ to those who are thought cannot be saved with the given care available:

"Black tags - are used for the deceased and for those whose injuries are so extensive that they will not be able to survive given the care that is available."

Eben recently had his one day conference the videos of which are here:

If you look at his closing remarks (the last video) he mentions that he mentions being less combative as a strategy to reach more people. I suspect this comes down to less being the same side than having different tactics.

I used to be socially awkward, terribly so, and I was never ever afraid of being in a closed room with a woman, because even at the height of my awkwardness I certainly wouldn't 1) make sexist remarks or jokes, 2) stare at her body or, 3) flirt.

People might've known me as a weirdo who stuttered or referred to Star Trek too much, but no one would ever think of me as inappropriate, simply because I never was, not even close.
It doesn't help that "upgrading" an iOS device is a one-way ticket.

Religiously updating the original iPad effectively bricked it (not literally, but to all intents and purposes) years ahead of its natural lifetime, due to one particular major release that killed performance, reliability and battery life in one fell swoop.

If there no going back, why would you risk going forward?
My point was that it sounds likely that something like the industrial revolution would happen after the abolishment of slavery, when there's more pressure on people to be inventive. Not that it has to happen immediately
