"
§ 1604.5 Job opportunities advertising.

It is a violation of title VII for a help-wanted advertisement to indicate a preference, limitation, specification, or discrimination based on sex unless sex is a bona fide occupational qualification for the particular job involved. The placement of an advertisement in columns classified by publishers on the basis of sex, such as columns headed “Male” or “Female,” will be considered an expression of a preference, limitation, specification, or discrimination based on sex."

Seems to me like they're legally in the clear, as long as the ad itself doesn't contain any indication. Same as only advertising in a publication whose readers are 99% male - Google's gender metrics aren't even that precise.
I'm saying that one-gender-only job advertising is not a novelty that happened for the first time in Facebook.

As other commenter pointed out, how is this different from advertising in women/men magazine? Should we ban those as well? Sure, one can argue that their readers are only 98% one gender. But then some people on FB lie about their gender and some browse FB on somebody else's account. E.g. My GF never logs out off Facebook on shared devices and I see ads targeting women all the time.

All in all, we should look at bigger problem of targeted advertising rather exclusive loaded cases. I've no idea what targeted advertising line is "good enough". On the other hand, targeted advertising is definitely causing massive societal problems and political polarisation.
I don't have a single "most favorite" but I worked for someone a couple weeks ago who began by saying "I just want you to get the job done right and I don't care how long it takes you".

I knew right away I was going to love it there. That's the way to my heart.
Sounds like this could be interesting for you then! :)

I describe my method here (it's really simple): https://www.trackinghappiness.com/about/method

There are other apps out there that do the same, but approach it differently. You have to find what works for you. No method is wrong in my opinion, it's just that you have to find the method that works best for you. ;-)

Well we have Carrefour (second largest retail store chain after Walmart).

I understand your position from an American point of view but I don't agree with it. What you see as unnecessary regulation we see as the right way of governing, and what you see as protecting dying industries we see as preserving a way of life.

Since 1981 (or so) the price of books has been fixed by law. Nobody can sell them lower than that price. If you walk through Paris (or most cities) you'll see a number of small library shops that contribute to local economy and culture. I find that very nice!

Other retail industries have not been so lucky. Many smaller towns (10-50k inhabitants) have seen their city centers die out because of large outlets opening outside of town, and because of Amazon. I guess you could the say that the free market has decided what was the future. But these cities have become dead towns, people have moved to the suburbs, contributing to sprawl and car pollution. Social life has been reduced, and a recent study showed that the far right/protest vote was higher there. Today the political opinion is starting to shift and there's talk of more regulation to try and preserve smaller cities.

Anyway, there's a lot more that could be said in this eternal debate between the "American" and "European" point of view. But I mean we're not Soviet Russia. We may not have Facebook (I can live with that) or Apple (that would be nicer), but regulations are only part of the issue. And we're not clinging to some antiquated world view, we're just trying to make sure change doesn't crush people too fast.
The most prominent organization named is Uber, who it's safe to assume is running multiple ad's at a time, which probably includes some targeted at men and some targeted at women (even if it's as simple as changing out the stock photo).

Oh, and "The Pennsylvania State Police, for example, boosted a post targeted to men ..." well of course, why would they pay to advertise to females when they don't need to? You should go research the demographics of police (or visit your local donut shop): almost exclusively male, because most females don't want to do it. And if a female does want to... well, then she should go apply?
> I cannot fathom why you find it so necessary to constrain discovery.

In turn, I cannot fathom why the face and money behind this project finds it so necessary to constrain discovery by prescribing the outcome in advance.

> I'm pleased those who are in position to do this are doing it. Maybe it'll be a bust. Maybe nothing new will come of it. Maybe they'll all die in a fireball at launch or during re-entry. Maybe the resulting art will eclipse Picasso.

Yes, this would be an interesting framing for the project!
Can you point out where you see timber beams in the photo? I can't even find a place where they would go; to me the deck looks like pour-in-place unreinforced concrete that sheared right off at the piers; the deck is then covered in what looks like gravel (which also seems a bit bizarre), then a wooden guardrail on wooden posts is bolted into the concrete deck.
Can you explain how Japan's recovery efforts post-disasters are insufficient, considering how speedy their recovery seems to be with zero price gouging or taking advantage of victims?
I don't like this genre of programming blog post. These things always amount to premature optimization for portability. They point out that some technique that's been used by millions of programs for decades might not work on every single architecture that's technically compatible with the C standard. So what? The techniques work, and because so many programs use these techniques, they'll keep working.

In practice, almost nobody targets esoteric environments. Avoiding useful and well-known tools just for the sake of an environment that will never see your program is just a needless self-imposed tax that's going to suck time from other aspects of development. In my programs, I'll keep hashing uintprt_t values.

No problem, the question comes often. It’s understandable if you have not kept en eye on the space for a while. A-Frame is built on standards (HTML and WebGL), it runs on any browser without extensions or plugins. But it’s not a standard on itself so it can evolve much quicker and make design decisions based on real world usage by the community. While A-Frame offers high level primitives like `box`, `sphere`, `light`... the emphasis is on extensibility through an entity-component architecture. We aknowledge that A-Frame cannot anticipate all needs for all projects so we wanted to make very easy to extend and reuse 3rd party pieces.
You have posted a link to a work for sale at an auction house. Perhaps I'm missing part of the context here?
I applaud this, but at some point "riding a bike" becomes a somewhat inaccurate and/or incomplete description of what's happening here. There's so much auxiliary stuff required to make this possible that it seems like a bit of a stretch to call this "riding a bike". The footnotes kind of matter.
At least the don't still have all those Doberman Pinchers running around and pooping in 444 Castro Street (aka "Dog City") any more. How times have changed.

http://www.sfpeninsulacre.com/what-are-some-interesting-fact...

From 'Dog City' to cash cow: Downtown's tallest building, 444 Castro, was once a symbol of stagnation.

https://www.mv-voice.com/morguepdf/2009/2009_01_02.mvv.secti...

>For 10 years after it was built,
the big office building on Castro
Street was empty, prompting
owners to worry that it would
become targeted by thieves or
squatters. Their solution was to
let a pack of Doberman pinchers
run loose on the building’s
ground floor.

>The dogs barked from the lobby
at anyone walking down Castro
Street, leading to nicknames for
the structure like “Dog City” and
“White Elephant.” Some called
it the largest dog kennel in the
world.

>Meanwhile, the dogs had
nowhere else to go, and so
they soiled the building, leaving
an increasingly horrible mess.

>According to recently retired
finance director Bob Locke, city
officials joked that it took years
to get rid of the smell.

(The article has an archive photo that shows how the 12 stories were built from top to bottom down! And former mayor Bill Jelavich reminiscing about how the building was actually part of his plan to revitalize the downtown.)

>“I never dreamed it would
change the way it did,” Jelavich
said of the city’s downtown.
It sounds like you know more of this than me. Do you have any specifics in mind about the change in the concept of individuality?

That said, I also see Peterson as clearly adding much less than Nietzsche (if anything at all) on pure philosophy. He is a psychologist, first and foremost, that happens to draw on some concepts from philosophy and biology (developed by others) for the purpose of providing a path for people (mostly young men) that have lost the sense of purpose.

In this confrontation with the inner emptiness, he seems to grapple with the same problem as Nietzsche, but with a more practical approach.

Indeed, as a clinical psychologist, his task is precisely to formulate it in a way that can reach people.

For those who have never had any serious struggles with the problem (nihilism, lack of purpose), he probably looks like a quack.
And it's my right to critique him for the manner in which he spends it, since he has chosen to publicize it.
”It takes more than engineers to run a company.”

Yes, that is true. It’s still possible to hire too many people, be it engineers or designers or sales reps.
I wish I could say that attitude was in me and that’s the advice I would give others. But, I’m at the point where either I either want to be a team lead at a large company, be an architect by responsible if not title at a small company where there isn’t too much red tape, or just a consultant.

This appears to be some new definition of ‘recently’ of which I was hitherto unaware.

It’s definitely a clever attack, and definitely a clever set of fixes. But a better phrase would have been ‘some time ago’ rather than ‘recently.’

Your comment shows a severe lack of knowledge what economics research is all about, please correct me if I'm wrong.

I have two graduate degrees (econometrics) and while I understand and can reason with most of these models I'd argue exactly the opposite. Economics is not a "real science" or rather, it is the science of humans, and we know for sure that humans are fickle and irrational.

Economics is not a hard science yet sometimes is treated as such, and this research is then taken true as gospel (which I argue is wrong). There is a lot of things wrong with economics (I'm a fan of behavioral economics in particular) but "I want to see more data" is a non-argument. You're acting like economists are some armchair scientists waving around wet fingers in the air.

I don't think this article have gain as much traction if the title read "Facebook Is Letting Job Advertisers Target Only Women"
You're telling me, if I run a clinic or rehab facility where women with trauma are more comfortable with other female therapists, I'm somehow required to advertise to and interview both men and women for a job - even when I'm only short on demand for a female therapist from a specific demographic or with certain qualifications? The same would go for a shortage of male employees based on patient or clientele requests and demands.

I'm not saying Uber has a reason to do this. They may or may not, but to say this feature or ability is illegal is just idiotic. In fact, it's rather useful and worth paying for in my opinion.
I take it that every one is pro intellectual property when it comes YOUR data being handled by services through their support of GDPR. But also anti intellectual property when it comes to copyright data being handled by services through their opposition to copyright laws, because that would be overreach.

> No, the platform gives the tools to specifically filter by sex. Facebook is enabling sexual discrimination.

Like any ad seller, Facebook offers displaying ads based on demographics. This is a basic requirement for many advertisers, because a lot of products happen to be bought exclusively by one gender. You have a right to buy tampons, you don't have a right to be displayed advertisements for tampons.

Even if there were legal problems with those particular Uber ads, it's Uber's responsibility to follow the law, it's not Facebooks responsibility to screen every ad for possible infringements.
But modern reactor designs could also use up 99% of fuel 'waste' until the waste products are either so unradioactive that they pose no danger or so quickly deteriorate that even a simple metal drum could contain it for the necessary 100 years if it was somewhere dry. But since we don't have/use modern reactor designs and are sitting on 60 year old designs we don't have anywhere to use that 'waste' fuel yet.

Sorry, what system are you thinking about where size_t is something other than pointer sized? This is silly pedantry
While an architecture where two distinct pointers could point to the same location is esoteric today (minus `mmap()` tricks), go back 30 years and it was not only esoteric, but downright the most popular system in existence! [1]. Who's to say something just as esoteric becomes the mainstream? (although I hope not---it was horrible).

Japan has a very strong culture of mutual aid. It is basically unique in the degree to which it works. If your argument is "Well then we should be more like that", then sure, that'd be great. But that doesn't seem very practical. And even if it were, price gouging will be more effective at allocating resources to the problem. Sure, if you happen to have water in Japan, you may share it with others. But you're not going to buy truckloads of it and drive it across the country. On the other hand, if you have the opportunity to sell those bottles of water for $20 each, you may do just that. Money is extremely effective at mobilizing resources.
I was lucky that my first technical role was where I found the best manager I've had. He was my 2nd supervisor in that first role.

After that I got to be pickier than most about where to go next, so my results might be rosier than others. In total I've had 7 "supervisors" in my technical career. 2 of them were amazing and I would take a (small) pay cut right now to work with either. 2 were good, mostly hands off, and easy to work with. The other 3 were nice people with good intentions, but significant managerial shortcomings. None of them were bad or insufferable.

In one case, an extraordinary mentor almost entirely made up for shortcomings of the manager. Working with great people alongside you often makes the incompetency of the people above a little less relevant, or at least more tolerable.
In another part of the thread, I kind of specified it a bit, but I'll try to give a realistic scenario here:

Imagine I am a remote worker who does contract work. I have never met my employer. We want to agree to a contract and show that the information we're working from hasn't been compromised by someone from the outside. Ideally, I want to authenticate messages from my employer, and they want to authenticate messages from me.

It's important to realise that encryption is not necessary here. We just want to show that nobody is injecting requirements. If it gets down to a he-said, she-said argument, we want to be able to clearly show who said what. Second, identification of the parties is not necessary. I don't care who the employer actually is. I just care that they give me requirements and pay my invoices. Similarly, the employer doesn't need to care who I am. They just care that the banking information I send is really from me, for instance.

Now imagine that the employer doesn't know all the details of the project. They have other engineers who know the details. The employer refers me to that other engineer. Again, I don't care who the engineer is. I just care that they are the person that the employer referred me to. Importantly, I don't care who Google, or any other authentication agency thinks that engineer is, or what organisation Google thinks they work for. I care that the employer is satisfied that the engineer is the correct person to talk to. If there is a dispute, then it would be nice to show that I talked to the person the employer told me to talk to.

That's really all I want. To be honest, it shouldn't be that hard to implement. I think it's just that OpenPGP's implementation of WoT is so screwy that people just abandoned WoT without realising that it has use cases.

The example I gave is pretty ordinary, but you can probably imagine situations where one contact (that you don't know) wants to refer you to another contact (who you also don't know) and it's important that you are 100% sure that you are talking to the right person. In some cases, you want to make sure that nobody else is involved in the transaction, because it leaks information. In those cases a CA is really, really bad.

Duolingo has a policy of only recruiting from schools that have an above-average percent of women in their CS program. How do you feel about that?
I agree, but I would not consider hashing pointers a common tool or technique.

I would say treating pointers as integers is a more common approach. Heck the STD library has some support for that as well. So any sane compiler for even a wacky environment is going to try to make the transparent.

I think I understand where the comment is coming from. It's like saying the fastest car in the universe is the Tesla roadster in space. At what point does this become about semantics? Does getting hurled into space count as a car being fast? Does getting dragged by a car and letting something else roll along after decoupling count as being fast? The headline is misleading in that regard.

I understand that it seems easy to accommodate this one simple request, because that's just the one that article discusses. However the folks who really push this nonsense won't stop at program code, and they won't stop at racial sensitivity. Be prepared to scrub all of your user documentation, design documents, and marketing material as well. Be prepared to accommodate the charismatic christians who take offense to references to daemons and 666 file access permissions (I personally know such people). Be prepared to accommodate such sensitive (and politically powerful) individuals as Dallas County Commissioner John Wiley Price, who will publicly label you a racist if you utter the phrase "black hole", in either a scientific context or to describe an inefficient process [1]. Be prepared to police office communication to minimize gendered language; phrases such as "man-hours" and "you guys" are often used as examples of sexist language. On and on.

Harvard architectures might be an other example that's not really strange. You can have two different pointers with the same value. However, why are we trying to compare data and instruction pointers? They are pointers for different types of data. One being instructions and the other data.

For native Rust libraries this is a solved problem. Cargo finds one common compatible version of each library that satisfies requirements of all dependencies, and only when that isn't possible, it allows more than one copy of the library (and everything is strongly namespaced, so there's no conflict).

And it has a lockfile, so your dependencies won't update if you don't want them to.

The only problem is C dependencies like OpenSSL that do break their API, and don't support multiple copies per executable, so there's nothing that Rust/Cargo can do about it (you as a user can avoid them and choose native Rust libs where possible).
You can convert an irreducible CFG to a reducible CFG with a loop and a switch case(/match in case of rust):

In pseudocode

Goto = Start;
While(Goto!=End) {
Match(Goto) {
...
}
}

It’s a pretty basic obfuscation technique.
Compilers will happily unroll this leaving you with an irreducible CFG.
In Denmark you have to supply word count or character count.
