> The author of this article clearly doesn't know much about selling on Amazon

Or alternatively, maybe they know more than you do? Especially since the core of your advice is "use the Brand Registry" which the post already mentioned and which, according to your own link doesn't even do what you claim?
I think little girls are more strongly affected by the fact that there are so few women in tech than the fact that it is shitty for women in tech (though obviously one affects the other). My evidence for this is purely anecdotal though.

Making it less shitty decreases those leaving and affirmative action increases those entering.

In addition, part of what has made it so easy for the environment to be so shitty is the low percentage of women (obviously rampant sexism plays a big part too, but the "I've never worked with a woman" "You're a woman so you must be non-technical" &c. are sustainable largely because of the low percentage of women).

Avoiding women in workplace is essentially sexist. And for non-sexists there is no reason to do so.

I disagree with you that there is no reason to do so for “non-sexists”. Because no one knows how a given person may interpret a given conversation or activity, combined with the severe consequences from the social media mob that even something as simple as an unsubstantiated tweet can inflict on one’s career or an entire company these days, the only way to avoid liability is to minimize interaction between opposite sexes in the workplace. In this environment, it’s the only rational thing to do.

We have unleashed a virtual lynch mob, ready to instantly torch the life of anyone that stands accused of even moderately inappropriate or questionable behavior. Worse, there is no statute of limitations or standard of proof required to activate the mob - a tweet is enough. That is wrong and creates a toxic environment for everyone.

Actually, it hasn't (at least for school shootings) despite the impression you'd get from the media. See the link I posted before:

I have absolutely started to reduce my purchases on Amazon due to my lack of confidence in what I'm going to be getting. The counterfeiting issue is real and serious.

At this point, I trust that if I go to the trouble to ensure it's not "fulfilled by amazon" and I'm buying from the actual seller, I'll probably get a legit product. Otherwise, I have no way of knowing what I'm going to get.

I continue to be mystified why Amazon doesn't view this as a huge issue.

The obvious solution is to just lie when applying to jobs. Anything short of a genetic test to determine your racial origin is unsatisfactory and administering such a test for a job applicant is illegal and for good reason. Can you imagine a Gattaca style world where tech companies require your 23andme profile for diversity purposes? There is no situation where somebody in the application process would talk to you about their concerns you don't match some race you claimed to be a part of. Can you imagine some HR person saying "Um, excuse me but I don't really think you are 1/4 black because your skin looks really white to me". Just pretend your grandparent is some other race and claim mixed race on the application, for all you know you very well may be.

It also brings up an interesting question. Without a genetic profile can you truthfully answer what your race is on a job application? Are there legal implications to answering without concrete knowledge? Without such a test I suppose you can only really call yourself "indeterminate race".

The GP was arguing a point that is agreed-upon by many who argue against affirmative action — that the minorities ostensibly helped are harmed in the bigger picture. Yet you rip on the GP for not thinking enough about the whites and Asians who are also the victims of affirmative action? You could be a bit reflexively polarized about this issue.

Since you mention that you deal mostly with whites and Asians, what kind of issues do you deal with that you wouldn't think we be as bad under a more diverse team.
SQL already has UDFs and even custom types. Those can be namespaced and customized with built-in implementations by all databases, which they all already do to some extent (eg: system data queries) so it seems the only real issue is the fact that the SQL dialects are different.

If the SQL dialect was the same across all databases, then what would be the advantage of an "API" approach as you say?
That actually sounds pretty interesting. Thanks for adding more information about what these guys.

If you were to accept the current estimates on IQ, where blacks have an average IQ of 85, Hispanics an average IQ of 90, whites an average IQ of 100 and Asians an average IQ of 105 with a standard deviation of 15 by design, and that Youtube only hires people two standard deviations from the mean, then about 2% of employees would be black, 5% Hispanic, 30% white and 63% Asian. I am quite sure that whites are over represented at the expense of Asians.
Do you?

You mention you are asian so would you prefer working in an office with 100% ethnic asians or 100% ethnic indian. Even just assume that both are culturally citizens of the country.

I think you miss the bigger picture here.

As for being clueless, well, here is a suggestion. If you see some man hitting on or trying to dominate a woman, you can approach both and just intrude yourself into the conversation. It should be possible to change the course of the interaction by redirecting things (including asking about some relevant conference or workplace activities). Do it in a way that says to the man that you are ignorant of goals, frustrate the living daylights out of him.

It is irrelevant if the recipient of the unwanted attention is a women or a man, protection and respect is something that should be applied to all. Protecting women (children and other men) from danger is a characteristic of what it is to be a man, that is one of our functions. This is not a function of equality. The same goes for women - if they are in a position to provide protection for other women, children or men, then do so. It is a part of who women are.

Men are deadly and rightly so, they should be. Deadly to protect those who need protecting. Women are fierce and dangerous and rightly so, they should be. Fierce and dangerous to protect those who need protecting.

Men and women are different and that is a good thing. Without each other, this world would be a sadder, darker and more injurious place.

There will be those who have no care for anyone other than themselves, these will abuse and destroy anyone else they can to get ahead. It is up to all of us to counteract these individuals when we have the opportunity.

The base problem is that people do not know how to respect and protect one another. Respect is not about equality, it is about recognising the differences between people (including the differences between men and women) and honouring each other. Equality of the sexes is a farcical mindset. Men and women are complimentary, each providing what the other doesn't have to produce a whole that is greater than the sum of the parts. Each looks at things in a different light and that is to the advantage of us all.

Although i agree with the sentiment, Hop makes one mistake in this article. She claims that inventory is returned when deemed counterfeit.

This is often false. Counterfeit merchandise "may be destroyed" according to Amazon's help docs, and often is, from my experience.

I want to believe in this hypothesis, because the case for land taxes has long been rejected due to the perception that they unfairly penalise 'mom and pop'. If corporate taxes do end up simply being a tax on labour, then taxes that don't have the same potential for manipulation can be put in their place.

However, two PDFs alone isn't sufficient proof for me. Has a broad meta-study of both sides of the argument been done?

Why would any company spend money to decrease their revenue? I have yet to see one company that does not test the boundaries of the legally permissible to maximize profits.

It's considered non-emergency transportation (NEMT).

The voucher program actually goes direct through hospitals, the hospitals negotiate with transportation providers like Uber (or local taxi companies).

Unfortunately, shit doesn't work like this anymore. Hospitals don't always dispatch transportation out to local taxi companies. For Medicaid, most states have Logisticare which is very much a rent-seeking company paid based on the number of Medicaid subscribers (not runs). This company finds local transportation providers (or ride share services) and dispatches out the patients to them. Their job is to get the taxi companies to blind bid in a race to the bottom.

How do I know this? I part-time drove a couple nights a week for a tiny family owned taxi company that sometimes did voucher runs for a local hospital. They also considered Logisticare but backed off when I told them what it would require and how they'd get pushed into accepting below their usual mileage rate.

Also, Logisticare doesn't give a shit about inspecting the transportation providers, so noncompliance is common since they'll contract with any rando that'll work for dirt. [1][2]

This is the big mistake people always make: focusing on the tax rate. Wake up. The tax rate does not matter. At all! What matters is the end result: your buying power. How much good stuff (goods and services) are you getting in return for the time you spend working? THAT is what matters.
I wouldn't, because his learning time means his victims's time in hell. It also doesn't work like this legally, in case of committing a crime, not fully realizing one's own problematic behavior is not quite an argument.

I wonder how many consumers (not you) complain about counterfeits also whinge about copyright being morally evil.

I bet it's a large contingent.
Glad you like the idea! I had not had this thought, but as soon as I heard it (I used to be a frequent interviewer and hiring manager), I thought it was brilliant, thought "God I wish this had existed when I was hiring a lot" and joined the company :)
I think you have put your finger on why these programs are bad for everyone. They really help nobody in the long run and create enormous blowback.
Absolutely, but those slights do not justify harming other innocent people. Especially in a business context, where the rationale for hiring is supposed to be about productivity.

And it isn't fair to presume that we benefited from some kind of historic opression based on the color of our skin either - some of us are immigrants, or first or second generation descendants, having faced persecution of our own, pre and post immigration.
Incidentally, is "Co Ltd" even a meaningful designation for a Chinese business entity? I usually see it for British or Japanese companies.

You can't have encryption without authentication, because a man in the middle can snoop your connection.

You can have authentication without encryption. This is what PGP signed messages are.

I'll admit it's weird to call a cryptographic signature a "trusted hash", which makes it seem like the author of the post you're responding to doesn't know what they're talking about. But it's totally possible to to have trust without encryption or TLS. TLS isn't even the best protocol for signing out there, as the whole thing depends on CAs being trustworthy (which they aren't).

All that said, if you want trust on the internet, start with HTTPS. Sure, you don't need the encryption for delivering non-secret content, but it's the easiest way to set up trust and the only one non-technical people are likely to verify in any way (because their browser does it for them). It doesn't provide very strong guarantees, but it's better than nothing. If you want more go with PGP.

And the fact that you can use PGP over HTTP doesn't in any way mean that HTTP is secure in general.

I have been on the bad side of IBM Global Services both times I’ve encountered them and was warned off by someone with existing beef.

They will build the most complicated thing that could possibly solve the problem. And then you can’t get rid of them because holy shit nobody else wants to deal with their code.

If Rube Goldberg and H P Lovecraft had a child it would weep in despair knowing that in all its life it would never create something as sinister and complex as the stuff IGS makes before breakfast.

They were trying to charge $80k a year for a proxy server to handle XML RPC. For a system that was basically ftp with code signing. Our team took care of the code signing, soup to nuts. To this day I don’t know what they were doing with all that money for a tiny part of the system. Except try to take over. They didn’t expect the wall of competence they encountered.
