And a lot of people going into wilderness would be economic issue with economic consequences.

Your first paragraph applies equally to men - but men are statistically less willing to sacrifice extra income to focus more on familly. Maybe men should not have children (?!).

Nevertheless, ignoring judgemental moral in previous paragraph, it does not make theoretical "men with children earn less" something that needs to be discussed as not economics.

Just wait until y'all get over 40. Then you'll see what discrimination feels like too. Ive had interviews where they wont even talk to me once they come in and get a look at me. They instantly say sorry were not looking anymore, sorry to waste your time. But the job stays up.

The problem really might be that no one has a good solution. Discrimination exists, no one has a clue what to do about it. These "affirmative-action" type solutions seem more like attempts to do something rather than nothing.

"How standards proliferate" :D
It is sad to see that even after many good explanations by other users you're in complete denial of facts that 1) normally it is dangerous for women to report openly 2) they have right to not do so 3) they are not responsible for companies's mismanagement of this possibility 4) given all this, what matters significantly more here is a woman's safety and not awareness of a company.
Another trap that I've seen with the Big Deal is that it can easily turn your company into a non-scalable consulting company with the one exclusive customer. This is especially easy to fall into if the money is really good.

It would be helpful if you would cite the studies that allegedly support your statements about the poor results of learning-by-doing. As previous poster points out “committing things to long-term memory” is memorization, a small part of learning.
A ‘managed’ model for hiring freelance tech talent catches on
Maybe. So after you complete on-site interviews you are reviewed by a hiring committee which goes over the scores in each stage of the process, and decide whether you should move on to project matching. Typically passing hiring committee means you've made it. However this wasn't the case for me in Spring 2017 where after on-sites they told me they would not extend an offer but could not explain why. Oddly, a year later I reapplied and got the job without any further technical interviews (but a recommendation might have factored into this). I found this pretty bizarre and hiring for diversity might be a plausible explanation considering I'm a white male, though what's inconsistent with the story is that they certainly didn't purge my application. They were hounding me with emails to reapply ever since they turned me down.

There are probably a lot of boring reasons this could've happened as well. It's probably boring.

San Mateo County is small enough to be distorted by the effects of the very kind of discriminatory hiring the article is about. Based upon the rapid downvoting, I'll work off the premise that I misread the statistics and ask for clarification:

Which group of people does the "76.9% of US population - White alone" statistic refer to?

The San Mateo numbers in the link you shared say:

24.8% Hispanic or Latino
39.8% White alone, not Hispanic
61.4% White alone

Does this mean that the vast majority of Hispanics in the county are also in the "white alone" category?

This would be clearer if race were one category and "household language" were a completely separate one. :/
Great response the only thing I’d like to point out is that agenting is the most common and effective when someone needs repeat representation.

A musician or actor is constantly signing new deals and the agent needs (in theory) to balance any immediate incentive to close the deal versus long term income from retaining their best talent.

A salaried job negotiation is more similar to a real estate deal in that it tends represent a very large portion of the client’s financial world and happen much less frequently.

The divergence of incentives becomes harder to manage in that case, because each individual deal ends up being such a smaller part of the agent’s income than the client’s.

That’s a known problematic dynamic across many “verticals” that your answer only partly addresses.
Wouldn't that be a good thing? Buyers will see those slightly off images and it will set off red flags.
I grew up in a somewhat cult like church environment. Speaking in tongues, adults laughing uncontrollably on the floor, people falling out after the laying on of hands. Although I respect Christianity and the values it teaches, looking back on my particular church environment, it seemed deep into lunacy territory. What's your point, you might be wondering...

The point is at the time it seemed completely normal. Sometimes when you get away long enough to clear your mind, you get to see the reality of the social hysteria that you had been consumed by. I experienced this a second time after not watching the news for a few years. Silicon valley, Hollywood, MSM, the 'left' in general, has gone so far bonkers their behavior is virtually comedic at this point. If you get a chance, turn off the news, the movies, twitter, facebook etc, and leave your bubble for a year or two. You'll be amazed at the clarity and freedom of thought that you will discover.

Academia.edu | Full Stack Engineer | San Francisco, CA | Onsite

Academia.edu is addressing two problems:

- Open access. The goal here is to put every academic pdf ever written on the internet, available for free.

- Robustness. The goal here is to produce a set of signals around any given academic paper that indicate how robust the paper’s claims and findings are.

It has emerged over the last few years that 65-90% of the academic literature is not reproducible. What this means is that if you try to reproduce the experiments described in a paper, 65-90% of the time you will not get the same findings. This is known as "the reproducibility crisis”. Peer review is not a robustness filter; we need a separate filter to indicate robustness.

With regard to open access, Academia allows academics to upload papers to Academia, and make them freely available. Academics have uploaded about 19 million pdfs to Academia.edu. About 30 million people come to Academia each month to access and share papers.

With regard to robustness, we think the way to build a robustness layer on top of papers is a) to mine the existing graph of citations for commentary and (b) crowd-source commentary/peer review from the academic community.

Academia has built a recommendation system which is the basis of our approach to (b), and a citation graph infrastructure that is the basis of our approach to (a). We believe that addressing robustness is a challenge and an opportunity. We need mission-driven engineers to come and help us.

We have raised $33 million from Tencent, Khosla Ventures, Spark Capital, and True Ventures. The company is profitable off a premium subscription model. Bijan Sabet from Spark Capital writes "We believe open science is really important. We believe Academia.edu is going to have a profound impact on the world."

We are looking to hire full stack software engineers. Technologies we use include Ruby, Rails, Postgres, DynamoDB, React. Our office is in downtown San Francisco. For more information, visit http://academia.edu/hiring.

The problem is centralized sources of information like televsion stations and newspaper companies.

Wikipedia is the answer. It's already the definitive place where the battle for ideas takes place, and the results are generally excellent. We need to force the dictators and manipulators onto the people's turf, so they can be beaten in the war of ideas.

We need a #WikipediaOrItDidntHappen meme to take hold across the world. No one should trust anything they hear or see that doesn't cite Wikipedia directly.
I agree with your point, up to a point...but the hope is that if you use us for this job, you'll use us for the next. Tenure at companies for employees sub 35 is less than 3 years now. And in tech it's even shorter. So we're taking the viewpoint that though the number of deals we may help with per person is lower than it might be in entertainment, it's not limited to just one and done.

All that said...think of this concept a bit like a public defender. We believe that great talent has a right to great representation. If that's only great representation for one negotiation, that's fine. We still aim to provide great service for that one negotiation.

The Insider and the IRA Data That’s Been on Auction for Over a Year
Very true. Unfortunately, my options were "mature and learn at college" or "work a minimum wage job in rural America" after high school graduation, and given my years of experience at that point with minimum wage jobs and rural America (since I couldn't afford to move away from my parents), the choice was very clear. I spent that time at college maturing and learning, and now I work a very rewarding, intellectually stimulating job in software. In a climate where nobody knows how to code and education is not highly valued, I would never have picked up programming or computer science and ended up where I am now if I hadn't gone to college. I'm very glad to be earning decent money and living in an big city (personal preference, admittedly) instead of working minimum wage food service or manual labor.
What Has Capitalism Ever Done for Us?
Perhaps Java should have been designed to scale down and not require all that stuff when perfectly reasonable applications don't need them all the time.
Probably because their $3000 desktops are grinding to a crawl under these unwieldy stacks of cruft. The market might not care but that's only because most users are too naive to realize that spending hundreds to thousands of dollars a year upgrading their phones and laptops is neither necessary nor desirable. Eventually consumers in this space will gain more awareness and these wasteful software development practices will have to end.

I disagree, IBM is a multifaceted company.

These kinds of projects fall under what used to be called IBM Global Services https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Global_Services. It could be compared somewhat to EDS (HP), Accenture, Perot Systems (Dell) etc. I've never heard of over-delivery from any of these kinds of outsourcing arrangements, they always seem so obviously destined for boondoggle.

IBM proper, the one that makes mainframes and POWER and DB2 and a ton of operating systems and storage etc is very much a technology company. Some of their best products have the worst sales and marketing efforts. I'm working directly with the senior leadership of the POWER group right now and there are no salesmen in sight.. the technology will either sell itself or not. When we met in person the first time the GM told me "we can build any kind of computer you want" - meaning microarchitecture changes, SERDES configuration, new board layout, sheet metal, OS, application tweaks. Not a lot of companies can do that. There is hubris, less technology, and lack of technical value at FANG or most startups or whatever your benchmark is in comparison.

IBM Research is one of the only remaining great industrial research organizations https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Research. Their results speak for themselves.
That was my first question too, once I saw that you'll be using geostationary satellites. But yes, I get your argument about acceptable latency vs cost. Sometimes I use Tor via nested VPN chains, for decent anonymity, and total rtt can be hundreds of ms or more. Web browsing, chats, downloads, and even ssh sessions, are all workable. And if push to talk is acceptable, even VoIP is workable at 1-2 sec rtt.
I am trying to wrap my head around this. The level of black employees at Google is at 2% and actually dropped since 2016. How fair is it to say from a statistical point of view that if you did not get hired, you lost out to a lesser qualified black person and not someone from a white or asian of equal or more qualifications? I pick on the black statistic specifically because at the end of the day the blow back for these perceived diversity programs lands on this group in particular.
> Don't be surprised if Trump gets more popular, the more dictatorial he gets.

Trump is a counter-example. Everyone was labeling him as someone akin to Hitler before he was elected, and now it's pretty clear he is not that kind of leader. He is quick to tweet provocative things, but in practice he's not THAT different from typical US presidents, as in he needs other people to actually write and put policies in place.
I have enormous difficulty establishing professional connections. I have been on HN 8.5 years. I have zero strong professional ties. There are about 3 people who email occasionally.

Networking was one of the things I hoped to get here. There are men who network via HN. It has not worked for me.

I was homeless for 5.7 years. I remain dirt poor. My attempts to point out that my gender is a barrier to making strong professional connections is a root cause of my poverty have largely fallen on deaf ears for years and what minimal headway I have made is extremely recent.

One outcome related to that: I let some young punk talk to me for some weeks who was pretending to be my friend because he was basically the only person talking to me and I desperately need professional connections. Ultimately, he let me know he needed a shoulder to cry on because his marriage was falling apart.

I did the decent thing and was supportive for a time. Then he resumed sleeping with his wife, repeating things to her that I had told him in confidence and talking at me as if we were lovers, a thing I told him was absolutely a non starter.

The relationship made me uncomfortable from the start. There were a lot of weird issues with it that suddenly made sense after I learned he was married and hiding it from me.

I took a no harm, no foul position on it initially. The more I think about it, the more I feel I was used, deceived and set up. He had no plans to ever take me seriously. He withheld his age and marital status knowing he could not get close to me romantically if I did know those things.

All the uncomfortable red flag stuff got ignored by me because I have literally zero strong professional connections to anyone at all. I simply don't know what that looks like. Further, I am dirt poor. I am in very desperate need of connections and opportunities and cannot get that.

If I had plenty of professional connections, I would have never let this guy string me along and set me up to be his shoulder to cry on.

(Yeah, that's how I read bao at first...)

More seriously, consider Fenix or Anker; they have "short professional" names, but are not particularly western (esp. the spelling). Both are newer companies, based in China, sell fairly heavily on Amazon, and are frankly some of the best providers of their product niches.
Perhaps, but that’s harder than you think. Look at all the shit Getty does to find images that have alters, changes, stuff like that.

My point is that they aren’t doing anything. You point out a couple of edge conditions as a reason not to try. Even reducing fakes by 20% would be great.

If this cost Amazon money they would be trying to stop it.

The Canadian tech industry doesn't give you the same opportunity and quality of life as the American tech industry can, unfortunately. COL in Toronto is high, pay is middling, transit is limited, and the jobs are comparatively anemic. It's no wonder so many engineers leave. Canada has a lot of other things going for it, though.
Did a mysterious radioactive cloud originate from a nuclear powered missile?
Last October a mysterious radioactive cloud spread over Europe [1,2]. The source was traced to the Ural mountains between Russia and Kazakhstan. Although the amount of radioactive fallout in Europe was minuscule and harmless, there must have been a significant amount of radioactive material released at the source.

Today Putin announced Russia developed a nuclear powered missile with unlimited range [3]. The missile was reportedly tested in late 2017. Did Russia spew radioactive jet waste over their country during a field test of their nuclear powered missile?

It varies a lot. Orange cats are usually male which could make a difference. My handle is for my favorite cat when I was growing up, who liked me because I'd sneak food to him at the dinner table.
I always thought the counterfeit good program was fulfillment by Amazon mixing items with the same UPC code.

I ordered a power supply once and it had all chinese writing on it, and plus it didn't power up unless I kept turning it and fiddled with the connector. Was concerned, so sent it back. Didn't want it to catch on fire. It had a English brand name on the listing though too.

I was looking at new earpods, and even in the reviews people mentioned they got fakes. https://www.amazon.com/Apple-MD827LL-EarPods-Remote-Mic/dp/B... - I went to a local walmart instead and bought it online. Even Walmart, NewEgg and Sears website's have the same program as Amazon with counterfeits.

I don't trust them as much as I did when shopping online. The NBC nightly news did a story about this last week. https://youtu.be/klbPhwE44hI

"Ships from and sold by Amazon" I guess to look for... I still use Amazon for AWS and Kindle though... But for Physical products I feel like I got to be more careful. Edit: It looks like from "0xcde4c3db" Post, it still can happen even if sold by Amazon. Wow.

One of the things they recommended to do is to buy directly from the brand's website, which is kinda annoying since need a bunch of accounts, and Amazon Prime is a nice benefit too you can't use externally. Which is a great thing for digital nomads who don't want to wait for a package in the same area too long.

Another thing is fake memory too. SD Cards and flash drives. If you search "2TB USB flash drive" on Amazon and scroll down some. There's some 2-2.5 star ones where some of the reviews mention it's fake. One of them even mentioned no company currently makes a 2TB USB Flash drives. However they do make 2TB USB SSD's.

Plus I wouldn't want to try your luck with some of these items, as if you they are fake and you return it. I'm unsure if Amazon counts those returns towards the total returns before they close your account. I wouldn't want to risk it and be proactive. If i'm unsure about a item, it's less of a headache to just buy elsewhere.

I hope they solve this somehow, as Amazon is really convenience and I really want to trust them more. There's really no other online store like them that's a one stop for all. Still like Amazon but got to be more careful with all these stories lately.
