Actually: I don't see how either of us could make a meaningful case on if this does or does not happen without access to more data and transparency from orgs on their admissions process and criterion. This article exposing the bias is great because it's a step forward towards transparency there, and we see that in fact qualified women were being actively turned down strictly because men were preferred via bias.

Ultimately we're asking for what proportion of applicants WERE qualified but denied because they didn't have a "spot", the total admissions volumes, and what that intersection is. What's more, most students apply to multiple colleges and only a few have specific environments that are specifically necessary (you might argue, for example Stanford's connection with the startup world makes it especially desirable, but look at what a untalented failure Lucas Duplan is... maybe not...), it simply changes outcomes in a way that isn't particularly disadvantaging.

Personally and in an unsubstantiated musing: I believe that the actual case where a student "doesn't get in to college because of their race" is astonishingly rare. The US has a large enough population that the law of large numbers surely makes a few, and that's one of many reasons I've dedicated my career to providing education for as long as I stay in the field.

But your argument seems to carry this unspoken corollary that there aren't resources for white folks or men, but that's something that seems to follow from what evidence I've found. I've found a few sources that suggest white people get about 60% of the private scholarship funding in the US.

The problem is not ride sharing, its the fact that being a taxi driver in NYC is viewed as an investment rather than a job. That you have to purchase a medallion for insane sums of usually borrowed money.

It's a broken system. Could you imagine if you had to put up $1.3 million to be a factory worker? Money that you're still on the hook for if the factory ends up closing due to lack of demand? Charging people for the privilege of working, and somehow its Uber's fault for not protecting this corrupt and manipulative system.
Great work on launching this and levels.fyi. How does comp.fyi ensure freshness of salary data?

I feel like sites like Glassdoor became a victim of their own success. It became the salary site for years, so naturally it accumulated data going back years. Last I checked, their salary numbers are significantly lower than current industry comp since it has been going up over the past few years and it seems like they don't drop old data from the averages.
PFSense was nothing but a failure for me. Installing it at multiple clients caused me to have nightmarish drives to fix simple issues (PFSense would refuse to boot if the 2nd WAN port was down, decide it had an Intel NIC and take hours to boot, get wedged, etc).

The real kick in the pants was when they killed UDP multicast forwarding with no warning when upgrading, just boom, IPTV no longer works! We moved to Lede, which has been extremely fault tolerant. I no longer worry that I won't be able to remotely fix a router just cause it had a minor hardware issue.
(Shrug) It's an appropriate response, I think, to the use of peoples' suicides for purposes of overt emotional manipulation.

Your beef is with the taxi cartels and their click-hungry sympathizers in the media, not with me. They started it.

You may want to try plaid. They've integrated every major US bank(and some CUs) either using bank api or scraping their web pages.

You can get not only transactions, but also account info, balances and enough info to perform charges/payments(e.g. ACH routing/account numbers). Api is no-nonsence and they got decent dashboard.

Its paid service, but they allow 100 accounts for free(you need to apply though). To check what are major banks they support, you can visit their status page: https://status.plaid.com/

I voted in Missouri using one of these machines. You can print a receipt but you cannot actually have the receipt, you just see it slide behind some clear plastic.
My apologies, it does actually work now that I tried again, it’s just that the ‘no results’ text (if there are no results) is faint and I didn’t notice it before.
Last I checked, you cannot originate a message on whatsapp on android without giving whatsapp permission to your contacts. Another user can originate a message to you and you can then reply while maintaining no permission for contacts.

In my experience, whatsapp does not "function just as well without access to contacts."

Considering its government I'd normally automatically point to incompetence as the likely culprit 90% of the time, as it seems our common standards has decreased to this point as the new "normal" for public service. But there have been enough intentional data erasures by politicians/agencies in the last decade where I'm no longer convinced this is always the case.

To underscore this further: the iCloud backup system only came into existence long after Apple launched the iPhone, which came with an "Apple is not involved at all" iTunes backup flow.

One lesser mentioned feature of AMP is when they are found through Google search, they are prefetched. So in addition to being size restricted, they are probably already partially if not completely downloaded in the background before the link is clicked. Giving them an extra advantage over other search results.

You can implement this feature yourself too: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Link_prefe...

I'm seeing a sea of green as much as I am a sea of red. "Parking is virtually non-existent" is so far from the truth I don't even know where to begin with that. You're literally looking at the map and complaining that not every single square foot of Manhattan can be used for parking. Guess what, land in the densest city in the country has better uses than parking cars. And yet in many neighborhoods almost every single block has twice the parking space than it does driving space (go look at East Village on that map). I think you're complaining about Midtown Manhattan, but what alternative solution could you possibly want? It's a simple matter of physics. The space just isn't there. There's no room to add parking; there's not even any room for people to drive or walk on the sidewalk.
It is a web platform security restriction that prevents Google Search from coordinating with non-Google caches for prerendering.

Pinterest runs its own AMP cache for prerendering pages linked from Twitter. Bing runs its own AMP cache to prerender pages linked from Bing. Yandex runs its own AMP cache to prerender pages linked from Yandex. They can't use each others' AMP caches and get the same benefits.

Maciej Cegłowski (aka idlewords) recommends exactly this is in his (2015!) talk "The Website Obesity Crisis": http://idlewords.com/talks/website_obesity.htm

His specific comments about AMP: "AMP is a special subset of HTML designed to be fast on mobile devices. Why not just serve regular HTML without stuffing it full of useless crap? The question is left unanswered."
Not the person you're replying to, but: almost all of them. RStudio is useful for more than just notebooks, as opposed to having to switch between an IDE for code and something else for notebooks. It has more affordances than Jupyter -- a full console, for instance. RMarkdown notebooks play much more nicely with version control than Jupyter notebooks.

It explains the majority of the difference. It's simply not a remotely apple-to-apples comparison to compare yellow cab medallions, which are on the streets constantly, to rideshare license plates, which are not. The difference could even be more than 4X as another commenter points out, as many rideshare drivers are part-time.
Thanks! Definitely a problem even for us. Right now, we're focusing on getting as many people to contribute as possible (over at http://levels.fyi/addcomp.html). We've tossed some ideas around about only showing / averaging the last 10 salaries submitted for a certain company and level and ensuring some minimum date of submission. Glassdoor also suffers from not having granularity of level for engineers and I think that may be why salary data is so broadly ranged.

I recently read Pearl's recent "The Book of Why", and thought it was excellent: https://www.basicbooks.com/titles/judea-pearl/the-book-of-wh...

Unlike his previous books this is intended for general audiences rather than practitioners. It offers a good overview of Causal Inference, as well as a personal take on why there is such a split between his graphical approach and others such as SEM.

Overall, Pearl is unabashedly optimistic that statistics is finally on the verge of a "causal revolution", and this book tries to describe what that means. I'd recommend it highly, either as standalone or as background to accompany his more technical works.
In that most employers (and grad schools) generally recognize degrees from accredited institutions, yes.

VARICOSE VEINS CAUSES AND SOLUTIONS (4 SOLUTIONS)
It isn't that software engineers are bad at their jobs. Information and matter happen to have very different properties when it comes to resisting modification and showing evidence of tampering at our current level of technology. It isn't that electronic voting systems can't be made more resistant to tampering. The problem is that if tampering is possible it seems more likely to succeed with an electronic system than it would exposing a large number of human agents modifying paper ballots.

I live in a country with compulsory voting and paper ballots and we have proportional voting in one house and we still manage to get a concession speech within a few hours typically. If it ain't broken... I don't see what is gained from taking human observers out of the loop and hiding everything under the skirts of a computer system with a sign saying "trust us".

Parking spaces don’t get added at street level so they don’t make congestion worse. Really A to under ground parking at B back to underground parking at A is vastly better than Uber for the same trip.

Overall NYC has token street level parking because it’s such a bad use of limited land.
Not the person that originally responded but I don't see why that would be any cause for concern. They don't share that information with anyone and it's only "collected" in that you've made a purchase with them and they keep a receipt of that transaction. That's not anything close to what's being discussed which is personal data that is shared.
The California receipt lets you know later that your ballot was counted- very handy when you mail it in or cast a provisional. The ballot itself is paper. Or, at least, that’s how my county does it.

Apple respects your privacy because Tim Cook says so, and so does their webpage. Without any audit of the code, you're taking it on faith. And their privacy statement seemingly has a "nowness" to it, non-committal. There is no assurance of privacy in the future. For example, Apple could have said ...

"We are committed to never sharing your data with 3rd parties or governments for the entirety of our existence as a company. This contract can not be changed, and in doing so we are guilty of blah blah" (not a lawyer)

Questions I have are...

Is there privacy statement a legally binding contract? Is there any legal recourse for customers if they are have found to violate it?

Is it only applicable to particular countries? Does it change when you go to different countries?

Could Apple decide that the data they harvest is more valuable then their privacy claim and retract their so-called privacy commitment? Could retroactive data then be exploited?
On your phone, Apple aren’t collecting that data.
The fact that my friends aren't software engineers is a bit tangental to the fact that I went to university, as I moved country recently and had to build a new circle of friends.

But I do know people who's entire circle of friends is programmers and tech people. I guess if they're happy, then they're happy, but it's not for me. I enjoy my job, but there are other things I enjoy more.

Past performance is not an indicator of future performance. For example, Microsoft has certainly changed core issues across the last decade or so. There's nothing special about Apple itself that would prevent such a shift either, given any future leadership change.

Which is it - is the site secure without SSL, or does the site not need to be secure?

In the former case, I disagree wholeheartedly. In the latter case, you're not blocked from browsing the site - only informed that it is insecure, a factual statement.

It speaks more to your disposition than anything else that being troubled by other’s suicides is “emotional manipulation.”

And I don’t have “beefs” with fictional boogie man cooked up by Uber, however bought in you are to that narrative. I certainly don’t remember “taxi cartels” stealing and passing around the medical records of rape victims, but that was probably a conspiracy by their “click-hungry sympathizers in the media.”
If that's what you took away from the iAds situation, then you horribly misunderstood that. iAds was a feature available to developers to help monetize free apps. Yes, Apple got a cut of that but that's not at all the same as Google's or Facebook's ad-based model since their ads are targeted. Apple explicitly did not target based on personal data in iAds.

Also, your China example is also a straw man because Apple's terms in China explicitly allowed for that before they even sold a single phone there. In the US, for example, Apple isn't able to provide personal data to authorities. It can only provide information that doesn't live on-device and that's stored unencrypted which, as of right now, is nothing unless a user explicitly asks for it to be stored unencrypted.

>> Why is it so hard for a woman to bother a man with sexual harassment?

Oh, that's actually very easy. All the woman has to do is walk up to the man and shove her finger up his asshole (even over clothes). That is a) totally sexual harassment and b) absolutely unwanted by the vast majority of men.

I think you're just unnecessarily restricting your definition of "sexual harassment".
