Yeah, getting a relatively normal vehicle to drag an enclosure with the aerodynamics of a brick (it has to punch a big hole in the air otherwise it wouldn't shield the rider from wind resistance) at a little less than 200mph is somewhat of an achievement in itself.
Women make up 51% of the US population so clearly men are a minority. Ha!

But really they probably mean a minority in a specific career or environment. For example, ~6% of truck drivers are female but only ~18% of primary and secondary teachers are male.
He embodied the "Leader as Servant" mentality. He wasn't technical but was the manager over 30 devs/qa/PMs. There wasn't a single request that I had that wasn't immediately validated by him (even if he couldn't necessarily "fix it" for me). He was like the penultimate "border guard", he didn't let stupid politics interfere with our work. He let us decide on technical direction AND methodology (tdd, bdd, pair programming, etc).

> That's funny, because New York and Arizona perform about the same in the NAEP assessment. Clearly, New York has a lot to learn from Arizona, if it can achieve the same results with quarter of the NY's spending.

Given how much of school costs are labor costs, the main thing Arizona is probably doing “right” to produce those efficiencies is hiring people who live in Arizona.

It's not likely that New York can really learn much from that.

I didn't say "people with mental illness aren't fit for the real world", but "some people with mental illness aren't fit for the real world".

In this case, regarding autism, it's called "spectrum" for a reason
Well if you don't understand it's because you're a brain dead idiot. Anyone with even half a brain and who had ever been in a room with a functioning human being would implicitly understand the need for change and would have been expecting it for years.

The forums are also excellent. They are a little bit like the Arch Linux forums: People can be a bit snarky, but pretty much everyone is extremely smart and pretty helpful. Noobs are tolerated if they are willing to put in some effort.
Many things classified today as autism spectrum disorders are hardly incapacitating so I would not call it a mental illness.
I have found it best to not talk about any psychological pathology with anyone that does not understand it(no one really understands but some people understand that they don't understand). You can mention the symptoms, but don't label it, as soon as you insert the word autism, schizophrenia, depression people will apply their own preconceived deeply flawed interpretations of the problem.
Generally I would agree with you but maybe they just know Fred in person and maybe he appreciates the joke?!

Like with any other meeting, i will ask or provide with the specific time and location. Even with current situation, when someone invite me for lunch, I will still need to ask what time specifically.

Its up to preference.
For some one who care about sun light, he/she might start their day during the sun rise whatever the the time is in that location.

>Does morning and evening still hold any meaning? Or does morning and evening hours differ in every location?

For a moment I thought you were describing my employer.
I appreciate the critical argument balance, I was wondering if I came off inaccurately. I meant to emphasize _layout_.

CSS Zen Garden changed my life with web design. But it wasn't based on a single feature, it demonstrated simply how CSS worked already. I had the same "wow, that is totally awesome" experience seeing CSS Zen Garden as I did when I made my first really solid grid layout work and truly understood what it was doing.

I started with web design in a time where a guy came an interviewed where I worked and he was bragging about how he got his perfect 1 pixel border around an area (I _think_ it was an image) using tables. A full table with TDs all around with background color in them to make a border... This is the time I started in. It was a brutal time for page layouts, and dialup modems were the norm. (for you young whipper-snappers that is slower than 3g, or even 2g, on ur fancy mobiles)

So tables were the end all be all of _layout_. Then years later designers started using floating elements to make multi-column layouts. This lasted the longest period of time for me. Then flexbox came along, but it was messed up and for a webdesigner, if only half your clients can see a layout, you can't use it.

Then Flexbox was fixed, and I started using it. But it had odd edge cases where it just didn't work perfectly for layout, but it was better than floats, but not perfect for layout.

Then grid came along. A spec _designed_ for page _layout_. It's feature set are created so you can place something exactly where you want it, and it will stay there, flowing with everything else where you put it. Nothing before this worked so well.

So when I say the best thing to happen for "CSS _layout_" in the past 20 years, I really do mean exactly that. I could elaborate, but I have to get back to work. :) Cheers!

> zero assumptions

I think this means "the assumption of zero knowledge." I love when Scientific American or articles on the web try to give the reader an idea of a recent advance in physics, say, by starting to explain that "atoms are these tiny thingies which are so small that you cannot see them with a naked eye and which were first conceived of by the ancient Greeks." In certain contexts, you cannot make an assumption like that.
This is the whole point of advertising on Facebag -- targeting a demographic. THIS IS WHAT THEY SELL.
100% agree that as a condition of employment it makes zero sense.
There's a building in development just down the road from me. It's been in a half finished state for almost two years. It spent the year before that as a hole in the ground. The lot next to it has finished one highrise and nearly completed another and a group of town houses in the same time period. The unfinished site also has a far smaller crew there regularly and will go weeks at a time with no activity.

I figure the other developers keep running out of money. To be fair, developers of the completed building, Leddingham-McAllister paid people to come from China to buy units. I spoke to a few of them one day when I seen them lined up down the road.

The company paid for their airfare and hotels so they could come purchase suites in their apartment complex. This was before construction actually started. I never seen any lineups of paid foreign buyers at the other one.

On another note, all the developments that have been completed in the almost ten years i've lived where I do, have remained at least half empty. Most of the suites have never had lights on orbeven curtains put up since they've been built. No ones ever lived in a good majority of the empty suites around me.

And at least one group of them are used for prostitution. I regularly see ads posted nearby offering girls $2000 a week and such to live and work in the buildings.

I’m very skeptical that their motive is hiring discrimination as opposed to cutting costs on ads by targeting the demographic that is most likely to respond to the ad campaign. In other words, if the ad campaign isn’t successful for recruiting women, why would they spend twice as much for no increase in ROI? Maybe they could run a different campaign that targets women, and perhaps they are (if there is something in the article that claimed these employers are only running campaigns that target men, I missed it), or perhaps no one has found a campaign that is comparably cost-effective for hiring women as is the case in STEM fields. I just don’t see what these firms would stand to gain from hiring discrimination and I have a hard time believing they would take a significant financial hit just to be grinches.

I guess it all depends on the documentation. Sun's is excellent e.g.: http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/sun/sun3/Sun-3_Customer_Mainten... - on the Sun 3/60 you have a rather nice boot ROM which does similar things to UEFI but without the drama. It will let you netboot it over tftp, for example.

Patterns for using React with Statechart-based state machines
There are specific qualities you spot quickly after years reporting to the good, bad and mediocre. Qualities that stand out to me are: empowerment, defense and support.

Empowerment means a lot of things: not getting in your way (removing roadblocks), making sure you're content (tools and otherwise) and the most important - trust. If you don't feel like your manager trusts you, it will never work. But that road is (or should be obviously) bidirectional.

Defense is when you know your leader is on your team. Not making excuses for you but making sure you're not getting steamrolled. Good managers do this with foresight and take them on the chin when and where appropriate for team failures or misses (Extreme Ownership is a great book outlining this).

Finally support is a culmination of the other two. Knowing you can get help without undue recourse or that your leader will take over a problem distracting you from your main task and complete it with totality and not hold it over your head after the fact. Good leaders are unsung heroes and the two best I've had have also been highly charismatic on top of those other things. I don't hand out the charisma badge easily because I think people self-proclaim being charismatic far too often. But if your leader isn't a people person they can turn people away, shame them inappropriately or even worse.

A friend, who's an engineer asked me for advice the other day as he was considering moving up into a management role beyond his individual contributor slot he had been fulfilling for years. I went through these things and also said that his new role was not to be super-engineer now, but to help them get their jobs done more efficiently and take on battles he has little experience with. I think that surprised him slightly so I offered up another great book: Zapp. It's trivial, short and old. But the context is 100% relevant today and a big miss by many "managers" who think their role is something other than supporting and fostering their team.

In a company with a dress code of t-shirts and jeans, he wore a fine tailored 3-piece suit. We were doing interactive art history documentaries, and he was a Belgian music history phd brought in as our producer. He was a classic old world European in a 30 something body, with a careful, articulate vocal style that sounded like an actor reading a book on tape. He always explained why things were they way they were, both in the content of our documentaries and in the production process when dealing with outside agencies, licensing, other departments and so on. He's "deal" was total transparency of operations, to the degree everyone understood how everyone else's roles and duties support and enable other team members. We all became a supportive family. That guy was so good, he went on to be the CEO of Philips NV.

Probably just a pat on the back :-/ but I don't know since they were employed at a different company.

Nevertheless, my feedback towards their team lead was very positive, and that might have helped them too since they both collected a bunch of negative feedback while working with some of my colleagues.
It's not. The fact that it doesn't readily have any real-world significance is what makes it an 'interesting' (read: odd, curious) threshold value, which is why I asked OP whether it would only fail at that core number (N == 22) or whether it effected all processor counts higher than the value. I can see that my use of interesting was colloquial and not literal. My bad for any confusion this may have caused ;)
I'm pretty sure Google is COPPA compliant and will not let children, without parental consent, sign up for things on their own.

However, GSuite for Education may very well introduce a loophole whereby the onus is put on someone else to get that consent. I'm getting that vibe from this knowledge base article:

In any case, interesting. This story seems like something Google would be smart to respond to/clarify.

It is in your best interest to hire the best person for the job, but if you determine who is "best" based on inclusion or exclusion from a protected class then you are illegally discriminating (except for in some specific cases such as the sex and race of actors, and where disabilities can not be reasonably accommodated for).

I don't think women are equally represented in the upper echelons of politics or business. For example, only 29% of FTSE 100 board members are women - https://www.gov.uk/government/news/record-number-of-women-on... - so that makes them a minority in that context, no?

It's a bit like how people of certain races may be considered "minorities" in our society, yet there could be billions of people of that race elsewhere in the world.

I'm not a bridge engineer, but I'm pretty sure that height requirements are there for a reason. In fact, I looked at this incident last week, and it seemed that there was a different maximum height depending on which lane you were in, but that was ignored/not acted on.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-5_Skagit_River_Bridge_collap...

The vertical clearance from the roadway to the upper arched beam in the outer lane is 14 feet 7 inches (4.45 m), and all trucks with oversize loads are expected to travel in the inside lane where the clearance is around 17 feet (5.2 m). The oversize truck instead entered the bridge in the outer lane, while a second semi-truck and a BMW were passing it in the inner lane. ... A pilot car was hired to ensure the load could pass safely. The pilot car never signalled the truck driver that there would be a problem crossing the Skagit bridge and did not warn the trucker to use an inside lane.

No, they wouldn't be able to register Google Inc and most likely not any derivate either like they do with domain names. Setting up a company is not that easy as you might think. EV implemented right would make most(90%) of the scams unfeasible.

>> my real point here is that you have no idea what you expected to see in this EV information, so who cares?

Well, that's one of the issues that I mentioned and it's an UI issue not an EV issue.

> If I create a Facebook ad for a job application with no other promotion of the opening (including on my company's website) and target it just to men, is that discriminatory?

You make a lot of interesting points and its a difficult problem, for sure, but I think this is a bit of a straw man. Even for company that explicitly intended to discriminate by hiring only men for a position could avoid the vast majority of what you wrote here by posting the position on their company jobs website and just only seriously considering applicants with male names. Trivial, even.

Its also possible that a company could be using gender targeting in advertising specifically to _mitigate_ the tendency for certain roles to have gender-skewed candidates, by targeting women on Facebook for python roles because their applicants through the passive/non-targeted listing sites skew male as an example.

I can't say one way or the other if that's what Uber did, but its impossible to look at the activity on one platform and somehow extrapolate that to the entire company's hiring strategy.

If like me you have no idea what a loot box is..

"In video games, a loot box (sometimes loot crate or prize crate, among other names) is a consumable virtual item which can be redeemed to receive a randomised selection of further virtual items, ranging from simple customization options for a player's avatar or character, to game-changing equipment such as weapons and armor. A loot box is typically a form of monetization, with players either buying the boxes directly or receiving the boxes during play and later buying "keys" with which to redeem them."

Florida's war on Pythons (2017)
>John V. Muntean was inspired to create the Magic Angle Sculptures through his work with magic angle sample spinning, a scientific technique that mechanically simulates a molecule tumbling through space. The effect is to rapidly interchange the three axes of the Cartesian coordinates (x, y, and z). A complex observable phenomenon in three-dimensional space (such as the nuclear magnetic moments of a static molecule) can be represented by 3 x 3 tensors or sets of nine numbers; spinning at the magic angle simplifies that quantity to single isotropic values.

What??

This babble does not make any sense, and these sculptures have nothing to do with magic angle spinning (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_angle_spinning) whatsoever.
