> A "fantastic lawyer" will have someone competent at ground zero in 45 minutes

Gonna be honest, that sounds like something straight out of a hollywood movie. In reality, when suddenly presented with a unexpected event, real people simply aren't physically able to coordinate narrative-altering eloquence training so perfectly on a 30 minute notice close to midnight on some random day. That's kinda like saying that if a macdonalds night-shift employee witnessed a customer choking to death on a lye-contaminated drink, a super star legal team would be on the scene in 45 minutes to instruct the employee on how to avoid incriminating the company when talking to the police. That simply isn't how the world works.
I read this article and can't help to see how much cultural views and media representation is blending facts with fiction. Starting with the statement "Compared to almost any other industry, women are underrepresented in technology", looking at gender segregation statistics per profession paints a very different picture. Taking Swedish statistics (which get collected as part of taxation and made public), technology profession are usually very average with around 75%. It sounds huge thinking that for every 1 woman there is 3 men, but that is about average for every employed swede for both men and women. You take a random person of the street and there is around 80% chance that the person is working in a profession which has higher than 2:1 gender ratio. The official definition of a gender segregated profession is 60/40 or higher, and 88.5% of the population falls in that category with about 12% women and 13% men working in gender equal professions. Going from the other end, I am manually looking at the list and there is 40 professions with 90% or higher gender segregation none which clearly fits as a technology profession. Top 1# is midwife with 99.7% women (total 5692) and #2 is floor installation with 99.4% men (total 3581). The first recognizable technology profession (system programmer) is listed with 80% men, ranked #75th worst of a total listed 156 professions (including the few gender equal profession).

Without this context, discussing numbers like "women hold only 25% of technical roles" is impossible. 75th position means (given equal distribution) that taking a random person of the street should give a 50% chance of them working in a more gender segregated profession than technology.

What is causing half the population of Sweden to choose gender segregated professions where the majority outnumber the minority with 80% to 20% and do the theories of the article explain it? Personally I don't think so. If social behavior would be a major source then we should be able to predict which professions would be dominated by men and which by women if we ranked the social engagement in the work place, but such prediction model seems poor when I manually go through the top worst segregated professions where both male and women professions are mostly team based.

The cited statistic "Women make up 57% of the workforce" is very misleading. Chasing down the chain of citations, this number appears to be the percentage of "Professional and related occupations" jobs occupied by women according to the BLS (https://www.bls.gov/cps/cpsaat09.htm). But by far the largest sub-category of this is "Healthcare practitioners and technical occupations" which is heavily female--outside of this sub-group the gender ratio is roughly 50/50.

I think the point is there are only so many women to go around, so to have more women in tech we need to pull women out of fields where they are overrepresented like nursing, teaching etc.

Maximum diversity is not "100% women in every field". It's 50% women in every field. Women should be underrepresented relative to nursing, because they're vastly overrepresented in nursing.

This might be the case (I used ”rarely” as my weasel word of choice). Some times it’s good to break habit and tradition - and building is a lot about tradition and often not efficiency. Buildings are constructed like the last one, not in the most efficient, clever or economic way. Tradition can be pushed by laws like this.

Another example is the EU regulation on incandescent bulbs. Stops people buying what they always did and helps pushing prices down for alternatives.
Alexander believes a lot of things. But you can just look up the stats on STEM fields yourself; they're not hard to find. There are STEM fields that approach parity, there are a couple in which women slightly lead men, and there are a bunch with more men than women. But CS is, by what to a casual glance looks like multiple stddevs, worse than the rest.

Unless math is "warmer" than CS --- it isn't --- this explanation doesn't hold much water.

As an aside, I think iOS might have the same behavior, which could be the reason they're doing it, but it goes against the system standard and is completely unbearable for me.

I can tell you how was the jobs situation in Romania, during Soviet times.

When a 14 years old Romanian went to the high school he chose a direction in life. For example he wanted to be a mechanic, than he passed an exam to the high school. When he finishes 10th grade he was assigned to a state owned repair shop or he was sent to a factory (floor).

If he wanted to be a technician, like my father, he had to finish studies with a high-school diploma, called a “bachelor degree”. Then he was assigned to a repair shop or a factory, in the native town.

There were very few people with college degrees. The Communist did not like educated people. The college was highly restricted. Less than 10% ever went to faculty. The college was al least 5 years long, and after the studies a commission assigned you to the place you were needed. For example a young lawyer from Bucharest might be sent to Iasi, in Moldavia. An engineer from Cluj might be sent to Tulcea, in the Danube delta.

In short, in Communist times, you did not find a job. You were assigned to a job, in a specific factory. You were expected to work there until you died, or be old enough to have a pension. Nobody changed jobs. My father was a sailor. He gave up, when he was 28. The government sent him to technical school, to learn to repair tv sets. After 6 months he passed a test and he was assigned to a TV repair shop. The end.

My mother finished high school and she became a teacher for kids age 6 to 10. She was sent to a school very far away and she worked there for 20 years. After the revolution and the disbanding of communism she was able to change schools and come closer to home.

The job situation in Romania was similar to the job situation in the Soviet Union. Our system was built after the model of the Soviet system

There's just one thing I don't get with this approach. How do you make use of the space savings? You've explicitly created an outside disk image which is larger than the ddrescue image, and the ddrescue image is inside that larger file. So while the inside image is taking less space inside the mounted loopback volume, the outside disk image will always take the original amount of space. Do you trim the outside volume after you're done or do you somehow extract the lzo-encoded disk image after?

The cost of homes in 2018 is primarily driven by how much people can get for a mortgage, not by the materials that go into building them.

If homes had to be built to a better standard by legislature (Better insulation, or solar roofing, or whatever), it would, in the long term, drive down the price of land, but keep home prices similar.

Not to mention that you cannot retrofit solar panels on a home at the same interest rate as you can get on a mortgage. Forcing banks to lend money for these installations actually makes it cheaper for the homeowner.
There are 100 reasons - the innards of technology boxes are less accessible. Programming languages are more abstract, and few dig down to the lower layers (which used to be all there was). Its changing faster and hard to get a mindshare before it all changes again.

The knowledge that it will not be forgotten is very cathartic and my inbox doesn't fill with emails I intend to deal with but haven't yet.

I think what people forget is that time is often a better folder system than folders, as it doesn't place the responsibility to check again on the user.

I've tried to evangelize and I can't understand why it hasn't resonated as much with others.
Or maybe it's just that you don't get normal human "let's hang out and shoot the shit" or "let's work on this together" interaction; and the attention you do get is disproportionately (and awkwardly) sexual or romantic "I like ogling your boobs" and "I won't stop asking until you agree to go on a date with me" interaction?
> Increases the cost of homes

And decreases the energy bill by a very similar amount of what an increase in the mortgage would be if the cost was 100% passed on. Regardless, in much of California the price of homes has little to do with the cost of building them. So another possibility is buildable land gets a little cheaper because building is more expensive and homes are priced by what the market will bear, not by material cost.
Sounds little more than a self-aggrandizing belief to me.

The thought that other people can't run your gauntlet. You'd be surprised that not only can they, but all they need is more motivation or discipline and then they can lap you.

I think it does depend on the curriculum. I have experience programming, although I don’t really do it professionally. I’ve taken an intro programming MOOC course from an elite school and I have trouble believing someone coming in completely cold would have a chance. (Admittedly in a campus environment there would be TAs and other students but the contrast to when I took intro programming at school was night and day.)
Unfortunately, this solution lacks a self loathing component.
Normally, this would be pedantic, but since the author is delving into terms from psychology, they should avoid conflating the terms pro/antisocial with social/asocial.

In particular, antisocial [1] means something very different than asocial (preferring a less active social life). Plenty of people are asocial but thankfully very few are antisocial.

It matters in the case of the article because it juxtaposes pro-social behaviors like community consciousness with asocial behaviors. These are different dimensions. One can be simultaneously asocial and pro-social, and one can also simultaneously be social and anti-social.

I don't think it would go all the way down to $1. I made a simple analysis of BitStamp's order book (https://www.bitstamp.net/market/order_book/ ) considering all the bids and, in total, only in that market you have $22.5 millions available in bids going from $9275 to $7429 for a weighted average of $8462 in price. This for a portfolio of BTC that at the current market price ($9275) would be $24.5 millions. This means that the slippage will take ~9% of the price

It is safe to assume that CoinBase has a larger order book, so I think that the slippage could go down to 50% if you wanted to sell $10B worth of BTC, so it would be more like $5B. Sure, that is if you want to sell it in one go, but usually you make a stop order or a limit order to protect you.
