Two reasons: 1) Women make less than men often because of career choices. If they make that choice because of shitty behavior in well-paying industries, then we have an injustice on our hands. 2) Underrepresentation of any group puts them at real risk of policies being made against their interests. Imagine a men’s family rights law office staffed only by women. I wouldn’t trust that for best representation. Also see the CA board rules about female representation just announced.

A couple of my direct reports are working on their masters from G-Tech online. I'm not very impressed with the curriculum (or at least the classes they're taking). I'd probably go the MBA route to cover your higher-degree, and fill in specific technical training with an area that interests you for work, like a data science course from Stanford, or whatever....

The Dedekind/Peano higher order theory of the natural numbers prove its own formal consistency.

In this theory, proof checking is computationally decidable even though the theorems are not computationally enumerable by a total procedure.
The problem with SS7 is that you extend your SMTP analogy, there is no way to implement the equivalent of SPF, DKIM and DMARC for verification of incoming traffic without breaking SS7-to-SS7 links between the vast majority of installed phone switching gear out there on the PSTN.

When I saw how C#/.net could do this I found myself annoyed because you could in theory do with with even C. There isn't any reason you couldn't monkey patch a new function in a running C program. At least for a pure function.

I used to work with a OG (with a pocket protector no less) who did this when debugging assembly by pasting op-codes using a debug monitor.

I think there's something to be said for choosing an obvious and informative name such as "Project Stream" over a flashier but non-intuitive name.

Also, at least for now it really isn't a finished product. Perhaps they'll re-brand if the test pans out and they actually start selling a service, or maybe they'll just keep the moniker like Project Fi has.

Contract  Simply (YC S17) is hiring junior and senior full-stack developers
Contract Simply (https://contractsimply.com) is looking for full-stack engineers in Austin (junior and senior).

ABOUT US

Contract Simply is building the first A.I., machine learning platform for the $900B US construction lending market. We help banks manage their large and complex construction loan portfolio using intelligent automation and integrated payments. Unlike a typical loan, a construction loan isn’t a single payment. Instead, it’s broken up into monthly payments called draws. That monthly draw process is complicated, with many stakeholders and hundreds or thousands of documents. Currently, all of this is managed with excel spreadsheets, PDFs, emails, and paper checks.

Our software helps lenders, developers, and other stakeholders produce and process this documentation automatically, leading to fewer errors, faster payments, and more profitable loans.

We’re currently small (10 employees), YC-backed, and are already working with several of the largest lenders in the industry. You’d be working directly with the founders in a company that values being purposeful, efficient, authentic, transparent, curious, and agile.

STACK

Experience in one/all of the following is appreciated, but we believe tool-specific knowledge is considerably less important than the fundamentals:

Elixir, Phoenix, GraphQL, React, Apollo, Python, sklearn, Kubernetes, Docker, and more!

Tiobe's faulty ranking method isn't even reliable. Three years ago Apache Groovy was in the top 20, but six months ago it wasn't even in the top 50. Now it's supposedly rising rapidly again. And this isn't the first time this has happened with Groovy -- it was also in the top 20 in Oct 2013 but three months later out of the top 50. I suspect Tiobe's rankings are being gamed somehow.
You don't need an explicit essay on that comparison. Morever it's not vs Copyleft, but why copyleft is generally material to the purpose of Free Software.

In the linked entry Stallman primarily explains what is understood as Free Software. The comparison with Open Source merely serves as a device to illustrate the nuances in a more relatable way.

>Another misunderstanding of “open source” is the idea that it means “not using the GNU GPL.” This tends to accompany another misunderstanding that “free software” means “GPL-covered software.” These are both mistaken, since the GNU GPL qualifies as an open source license and most of the open source licenses qualify as free software licenses. There are many free software licenses aside from the GNU GPL.
It doesn't actually verify it, all it can do is read it. Just like email. When the PBX is told that the caller is say 01460223344 (I'm in the UK) then it would infer that the caller is from Crewkerne in Somerset due to the 01460 which is a designated area code. It may also be able to look up the whole number and infer a source.

However, just like email the CLID can be trivially faked and just like email, the lookup in your contacts is then wrong and potentially dangerous. In the case of telephony, if you subscribe to the BT service (I presume it still exists) that will return a name given a CLID (just like DNS for a price!) then you may end up with completely the wrong thing on your display.

Just to re-iterate the point: a PBX/phone/whatever cannot ... CANNOT ... verify CLID (Calling Line IDentification) it can only show what is presented to it.

Remember this, please: CLID is nominally under the control of the caller and could also be changed in transit. It should absolutely NOT be considered authoritative in any way.

The approach recommended in the talk is to use relative size estimates instead of absolute size estimates, which removes the possibility of over-estimating (or under-estimating) or sandbagging.

During the conversion phase from relative sizes to absolute sizes (which should be based on historical measurements, not aspirations), you can choose to add a bit of extra time so that people can work carefully and fix things rather than feel rushed. That's often a very good idea.
Elements of Design by Gail Greet Hannah is also superlative, but much less procedural than Wong. Like other design books it's learned better when applied than read, in particular because Hannah takes after her mentor (Rowena Reed) and emphasizes a grammar for visual relationships. Reed's work on doing things at off-angles and ensuring that there always exists a dominant, subdominant and subordinate relationship in all dimensions of a work, are critical.

Despite the emphasis on terminology, there is no better book for the fundamentals of three-dee form out there, particularly since in the digital age there is a plenitude of resources for two-dee form. If you want to know why elite architects make the decisions they do for the shape of buildings beyond their function, here is a good start.

It’s only trivial because so many people put continuous effort into untrivializing it.
My recollection is that if the first born is male, a married couple is statistically less likely to divorce. So first born females are more likely to be only children or at least not have any full-blooded siblings.

I've had conversations with my sons about this. Men seem to want one girl and one boy. Women tend to care less about the gender of their children. My oldest son has suggested this likely reflects a desire to pass on both genes. The way that happens is impacted by the gender of the offspring for men, but not for women.

That's all I know about gender preference in offspring and seems irrelevant to the problem space in question.

That is really nice.

One of the reasons Firefox is a non-starter for me is because sometimes there's no good way to tell what hosts an extension requires access to:

Indeed, introducing WebAssembly paradoxically creates more demand to increase the CPU time limits -- because with WebAssembly, it's actually reasonable to imagine doing signal processing in Workers, whereas in pure JavaScript it made less sense. We'll probably need to go back and re-evaluate the CPU time limits in the near future. In the meantime, feel free to contact us if you have a specific use case in mind that doesn't seem to be fitting the limits, and we'll figure something out.
Did you consider using modern e.g. DLP chips or so for a maskless fab? It would not work on too modern nodes anyway, just due to the restriction to ~405 nm by the aluminium reflectors on the chip turning i-Line and deeper into more and more heat you can't get away from the chip.
180 nm seems to be what one could hope for with an immersion stepper at 405 nm without too much trickery, but the next one up should be possible with dry exposure.
Hit me up if you want help or so with a maskless, sane-priced-chips yielding fab. There are just so many applications once you have the same price per chip at 1 or 5 or 100. Things like custom hardwired monolithic analogue compute could enable e.g. micro drones and likely lots of other stuff if it's cheaper to use some tool to generate the analogue or mixed circuit that will replace all logic parts on some circuit board, leaving only power handling components and those that don't work inside an IC. Maybe the freedom to create a monolithic version of an HB100 radar module, allowing a heterodyne design due to the savings from integration, with the needed experimentation being possible just because iterations are neither expensive nor long (comparable to Chinese PCB manufacture, so something under a week).

Yes, it does, but I think that's bad. Any large company which takes freely available code and builds a commercial product with it without either upstreaming improvements or making significant donations is bad. Seriously, contribute or get out and write your own damn code. In my opinion.

That's why people invented peer review.

You cannot read all the code of all the extensions you use, and if you are 'regular user', you shouldn't, but you trust some power users, researchers, developers who read the code of particular version of particular extension.

All that is needed is some infrastructure for that. You could even tune the percentage of people you trust who audited the new version of extension to mark it automatically updated for you.

That's not actually have to be anonymous audit process, most of the people in security industry have names, and you know, they actually use extensions too, so they usually read the code anyway. All we need is the checkbox where they could 'ack' the extension.
> And the consequences of insufficient sleep on ...

Ahh.. the Copenhagen Interpretation of studies.

This particular study is about teenagers - perhaps because 'risky teen behaviour' is something you're more likely to find in teenagers, or, less churlishly, because risky behaviour in general is something you find much more often in teenagers.

Also compare age-segmented stats for depression, suicides, violence, etc - and they're an obviously higher at-risk demographic.

> Not that any of this is news. That adolescents need more sleep than any other age group, and that they suffer tremendously from being deprived it by adults, has been known for an extremely long time.

This is not true.

Outside of newborns / toddlers, pretty much everyone needs about 8 hours of sleep. Changes as you get (much) older make it more difficult to get the full 8 hours, and adolescents' circadian rhythms means that to the uninformed it seems like they want more / less / longer / lazier etc.

They don't - all the current research indicates they need ~8 hours too, but they don't naturally want to fall asleep until 2-3 hours after the average 25+yo.

> But adults don't care.

This is a breathtaking thing to say.

> The most common resistance to the notion of starting high school later is that it would interfere with football practice, making it a total non-starter.

I'd suggest this courageous hypothesis could at best apply to something less than 5% of the world.

Politics of Aid: A Closer Look at the Motives Behind Foreign Assistance
> Why do I need a degree to read financial reports? Can't I get a book or just Google it?

It isn't just "how to read financial reports" but learning how companies can game those financial reports. It is learning that the most important stuff you'll get out a financial report isn't the top level balance sheet but in all the footnotes where they describe how they derived some top level figure.

Accounting is way, way more than simply counting numbers. It is every bit as much of an art as it is a science. For example, learning all the different ways to recognize revenue and, more important, how the particular revenue recognition strategy you use can incentivize behavior--both good and bad.... you probably aren't gonna get that out of a book. You need to be made aware of it.

That is the value of a good MBA program. Sure you can "learn it all out of a book", but not in a holistic way.
This should get you going.
