Okay, so CS-related jobs clearly are far from the worse in terms of gender ratio. Don't hear much about inherent sexism in other industries. I'm not convinced that this industry is inherently more or less sexist than others, which is why I included some jobs where it's actually close to 50%.

Also, you can't just compare to the general population, because you simply aren't hiring from the general population, as you are hiring people with a specific skillset. That is why many low skilled jobs that aren't labor-intensive are close to 50%

I think you need to familiarize yourself with employment law. Specifically the idea of a protected class:

Protected Class: The groups protected from the employment discrimination by law. These groups include men and women on the basis of sex; any group which shares a common race, religion, color, or national origin; people over 40; and people with physical or mental handicaps. Every U.S. citizen is a member of some protected class, and is entitled to the benefits of EEO law. However, the EEO laws were passed to correct a history of unfavorable treatment of women and minority group members.

The idea that men are being discriminated against is a farce.

Nevermind that you've just scripted this and it's being run on all of the servers all at once so instead of doing a nice easy rolling upgrade WHEN you are finally ready, it's done at the same time.

That’s exactly how it must work for total automation where humans are out of the picture. What you lack is a push, rather than a pull methodology, with a software deployment server and a capability maturity model level 3 (or higher) change management process around it. Then it works flawlessly, and I’m writing from experience of several decades of modelling and implementing such things on a very large scale (tens or even hundreds of thousands of servers).

That’s my specialty as a technical architect.

what kind of projects does the Raspberry Pi shine in which a 35-50$ phone cant do ?
let's say this one - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3000mAh-Homtom-HT16-5-0-inch...) running Android 6.0 in a 1GB RAM package.
You have access to battery, GPS, wifi, USB, acclerometer and a display out of the box (which you typically pay extra for on rpi).
And obviously... Android.

P.S. remember Android 6.0 has COSU mode to set your device in a single-purpose single-app mode (https://developer.android.com/work/cosu.html) just like the rpi3. Which has the pleasant side-effect that you can manage a ton of these devices using a central enterprise-grade management system.

In addition, you can build custom hardware that interfaces with Android in a standard way (the AOA protocol) - https://source.android.com/devices/accessories/custom. Which makes doing a hardware startup prototyping easier on the android platform than rpi.

Is the rpi (or the Asus Tinker Board) merely a consequence of what was possible at a particular price point some time back ?

I respect your intent —- there’s a lot going on in the co-enjoyment of reading that can’t be captured by research. But what research has captured are differences in literacy, verbal and cognitive abilities in children from different socioeconomic classes. When researchers went in and studied the actual reading styles of the different parents, they found that higher socioeconomic status parents asked different types of questions and engaged in different thinking patterns than lower SES parents. There was a tendency towards abstraction in the former and concreteness in the latter. That kind of stuff has significant effects in the process of early childhood brain development, which people don’t realize is this crazy critical window that the brain kind of solidifies around for the rest of life. So yeah, read and enjoy it, but be mindful of staying engaged and of engaging your kids’ thinking in multiple areas. Sometimes that’s not exactly natural or “in the moment.”
Republicans realized that internet giants are now in charge of determining what is true or false in the world but are run by a bunch of teenagers that are probably liberal hippies and cable companies are run by reliable Republican megadonors so lets give cable companies the ability to extort rents from those internet companies and hobble them to eliminate that threat.

You can always tell the people blowing smoke about stock options because they are speaking in the hypothetical instead of the past tense :)

As I used to tell people about why I was selling my options at [some other name brand company] as fast as they vested, choosing to work for the company is an investment. A huge one. And since I was far more likely to be laid off if the stock tanks, owning shares and working there was not diversifying my assets.

It’s the only time I made money on stock options and most of what I earned I earned by... profit taking on shares of a different company that enjoyed two stock splits before our stock started to crater.

I’m sorry that you had this experience. We vehemently agree that any one signal (such as IP address or use of a proxy) is a pretty poor predictor of fraud in isolation. We are trying to move the industry towards holistic evaluation rather than inflexible blacklists; not everyone behind a TOR exit node is a fraudster, for example.

While we can’t fix the previous experience you had, we’ve rebuilt almost every component of our fraud detection stack over the past year. We’ve added hundreds of new signals to improve accuracy, each payment is now scored using thousands of signals, and we retrain models every day.

We hope these improvements will help. We want our customers to be able to provide you services; that’s what keeps the lights on here. We’d be happy to look into what happened if you have specific websites in mind—feel free to shoot me a note at mlm@stripe.com.

> If FB moves all their operations out if the EU, how does the EU tax a company?

If Facebook moved its servers and personnel out of the EU to avoid complying with EU law, I'd fully expect--and support--the EU to (a) punitively taxing EU businesses buying Facebook ads, (b) banning EU businesses from buying said ads, (c) extraditing Facebook executives to the EU and then (d) blocking Facebook in the EU. No jurisdiction reacts kindly to brazen, willful criminality.

WHY do some people become ENTREPRENEURS?
Back of the envelope guesses for my own satisfaction:

">$100MM yearly" is, let's say, $8.5MM monthly.

">10,000 customers" is <15,000 (or they would have used that), so maybe 11,000 to 13,000.

That's around $650-$750 per customer per month.

"Hundreds of thousands of active users" means maybe 250,000-400,000.

That's 20-35 users per customer, when split between 11,000-13,000 customers.

That comes out to $21-$34 per user per customer per month, average (you can see pricing tiers here: https://www.pagerduty.com/pricing/).

(I don't know if they make money off contracts not available on their pricing page.)

I'm 23. Unlike many people here, I started programming only after graduating from high school and before going to college.

I always thought programming was cool but was never able to learn it (because of I bought some bad intro books to programming). Then one day I found out about the book C++ Primer Plus, it was wonderful :)

My first attempt at a real program was a console based repository management program for my dad's apparel company. Considering my dad didn't even know how to send email, he probably tried very hard to give me a good feedback. I didn't even know the existence of database, and just stored the data in binary files (I thought it was secure that way)

Funny thing is that after 2 years in college, I learned some web, database related stuff and developed the second version using Tomcat, Spring and MySQL. My dad was again forced to use it :)

History is path-dependent.

At some point in our nation's history (namely right after WW2), it was decided that cars, suburbia, and the Interstate highway system was the way forward, and not dense, closely packed cities + public transport + more railways.

Note that we might not think about this now, but cities before WW2 were often disease-ridden, filthy places. The antibiotic revolution did not really come into full swing until after the war. There were reasons people made those choices back then, and some of them we have forgotten since the problems they faced were mitigated.

We're now revisiting whether that choice has outlived its usefulness, but if something took 50 years to build, you can bet replacing it will take just as long.

China never had the luxury of making that choice during its development; it was either public transit or nothing.
You can't just say "What if" and then describe something plausible that has mostly predictable consequences, as if the question's profound just for being asked. This will probably happen! What specifically do you want to know about the consequences?

No-one's satisfied with the protocol of any cryptocurrency right now. Transaction rates are very low, proof of work algorithms are ridiculous, the decentralized protocols are still incurring emergent centralization.

So there'll be new protocols, and the price of coins running on the old protocols will presumably decrease eventually.

However, something like Bitcoin could be adapted on the fly to gain newer protocols, which has already been happening somewhat. You just have to persuade the majority of miners to adopt the change. In that case, the coin could retain value rather than become obsolete.
It's not that accidents happen often, it's that they will happen given enough time, and when they do happen you really want to be protected. Even quality thick selvedge denim jeans tear like wet tissue paper in under a second when you slide on pavement. Leather has been long proven to have great abrasion resistance saving yourself from needing a skin graft in the unfortunate event of a slide (which will happen at least once in any motorcyclists career).

Their sign on bonuses are higher? And who cares, everyone's golden handcuffs are 2 years, so you aren't actually getting it up front anyway. It's pro-rated loan until then.
Note: I'm going to use bit strings rather than bit sequences.

Given a total of B = 3.4067 x 10^22 bits sent over the internet, I don't think there is any reasonable way to say for sure what the length of the smallest string that has never been sent is, but we can say that there is definitely a 75 bit string that has never been sent.

Take all of the internet transmissions, and concatenate them, giving a string S of B bits.

Every string that has been transmitted is a substring of S.

There are at most B substrings of length n in S, and hence at most B distinct strings of length n that have been transmitted.

If we pick n such that 2^n > B, there must be at least one string of length n that has not been transmitted. 2^n > B whenever n >= 75.

Hence, if the value of B is correct, then there must be a 75 bit string that has never been sent.

> tax base, and housing policies.

It was the Republicans (specifically, Howard Jarvis) who screwed the California tax base and housing policies by Proposition 13 and Proposition 218. The loss of local tax revenue following 13's passage now ties up 70% of the state revenue to prop up local governments. The 2/3 majority required by Props 13 and 218 to raise any new taxes means that it is impossible to switch away from the current tax system that results in windfalls when the market is up and disaster when the market is down. On the other hand, ballot initiatives don't need a 2/3 majority and pass relatively easily, usually issuing bonds to fund some billionaire's pet project, tying up even more of the state revenue.

The one thing that has saved California is the passage of Proposition 25, which removed the 2/3 majority requirement to pass a budget. Until that point, the Republicans held the state government over a barrel, requiring that their pork barrel projects be funded before allowing a budget to pass. Prop 25 and the Democratic supermajority has brought sanity to the small portion of the budget that the legislature can control.

Yes, but that's the entire point. That's why this regulation exists That's why it has so many fans here on HN.

Not sure if there's a qualitatively different way of achieving the same goal with a different method. There probably isn't, so it boils down to a careful balancing act - how to damage those business models without going overboard and having all US companies show EU the finger.

the length is probably not that much shorter than the one he came up with

What's your intuition for what "not that much shorter" means here? I'm not seeing the math clearly, but it seems like solving for 1/2 vs solving for 1/(2^many) would make a big difference when many is large double digits. I'm not sure how big "big" is, but I'd guess it would be large enough to dwarf the chosen two decimal places and 2-bit difference over a 5 year projection.

Another factor that would move things in the same direction (of a shorter string being the correct answer) is that if we are presuming random bits, I think we can multiply the total number bits transmitted by the length of the bit string. This would be to account for the fact that the match doesn't have to start on any particular boundary, rather the target can be "swept through" the entire corpus bit-by-bit.
