A similar but slightly different anecdote - I'm a 34-year-old man, and my wife stays home with our two children. We're very aware that this has hurt her earning potential, which means that if I were to die suddenly she'd be in a real financial crisis. To offset that disparity in earning potential, we've had to purchase significant life and disability policies on me.

I think a lot of this behavior boils down to power dynamics. Black Lives Matters, antifa, are groups of people who have suddenly found they have a weapon that can be used to get their way. So with this new-found power they're doing what usually happens when someone gets unfettered power: They abuse it. I really hope this woman did not lose her job, and it really bothers me that someone can lose their job based on the word of others, and a mob mentality.
I had a dive instructor one who had an interesting insight re attacks Hawaii. Surfer goes missing. Body is found later with massive, obvious, shark bites. Lungs full or water. Official story: surfer drowned and then was bitten. If a large shark wants to actually eat you, you aren't getting away to call it an attack. It is not abnormal for people to simply go missing on the ocean. If even a small percentage of these are attacks, the "one attack per year" mantra should be revisited.

I would not recommend swimming, or walking, around any apex predator. They are very confident animals and are therefore curious. Watch a puppy 'inspect' an unusual object. You might not survive such curiosity.

Google "red sea jaws", a story about a true rogue shark that attacked multiple people across several days. The animal has a deformed jaw and so the bites could be linked.
Is there an archive of the previous volumes?
Just a tangential headsup for others if they are paying for vimovo (out of pocket, or significant co-pay).

Vimovo is a combination of two generics (naproxen & esomeprezol) delayed release. You can probably get OTC versions of the two pills for much cheaper than what Vimovo charges.

This drug falls into (IMO) ethically grey area in terms of drug pricing & marketing; on the one hand, it is (was?) priced much higher than the individual generics that are part of the combination; on the other hand, it is a convenience.

Horizon pharma, which markets the drug, is not the cleanest of the bunch either [1,2] .. They have a really good understanding of the healthcare market, and know exactly how to game it.

> There is no broad use-case advantage that iOS has over Android (ie, I can communicate on both of them, I can get directions on both, etc).

Compliance and security is the magic of iOS. It's pretty trivial to deploy them securely, whereas with Android is a mess that requires lots of third party stuff. Hopefully Chrome will come to the phone someday to address that.

If you really care about device security, it's pretty difficult to not use an iPhone. The only exception that is a clear winner is for field service and other folks who operate in extreme weather conditions, due to iPhone's narrow operating ranges.
I think one of the big western values is that people should have equality of opportunity. If cultural norms direct people into specific, unequal paths in life, is that really equality of opportunity?
Certainly could, I just finished doing that for my kid. Which still doesn't answer the question of how it benefits society to push parents back into the workforce after birth of a child. The entire "opportunity cost" argument here is focused on the parent's ability to maximize wages or skills, in reality there are other "costs".

So the problem appears to be ios in this case. I personally have 3 web apps on my android phones home screen and they offer a decent experience same as a native app. They are not processor or graphics intensive apps but the same applies for a lot of store apps
Maybe people don't always prefer what's best for them, but I believe that even when they don't, they are the best arbiter of that. In other words, maybe they don't know what's best for them but then neither does anybody else.

I mean, when I talk about asking, you can make education part of the asking the question. I am certainly not against more education, like showing what is it like to be engineer.

I might disagree with women who decide willingly to wear burka, or decide to be slaves, even if they have a different choice, but as long as they make it freely, I have to respect that choice.

How do you debug external APIs?
Im currently working with Radixx ConnectPoint (connectpoint.radixx.com/sdk/) - have integrated the full API, everything works fine while suddenly at times the agent account being used locks out. After that the login request fails. No errors before the lock out from the API. No rate limits defined in the documentation. No warnings. Im unable to reach their technical support. I have assessed the basic issues including making sure the password is correctly used in the request (shows in the logs) and is only used in this one place. Have been unable to see any pattern to the lock outs.

What options do I have in terms of debugging the problem? What are the technical approaches for debugging an external api whose implementation details you have no idea about?
When participating in the system of the US, wealth and job security are extremely useful. It may be rational to think “I will have more impact working to the bone and then donating/volunteering, than I would if I worked less and volunteered more”

The cycle of private equity buyouts, recaps, and bankruptcies may be the reason why buying a mattress was always a terrible experience. But it also laid the groundwork for Philip Krim and the Casper team reinvent the mattress industry.

They've apologized in many ways over the years, and especially in many of their PRs about their open source efforts, but also in casual moments and jokes in their conferences. Ballmer himself admitted he was too harsh on open source in a magazine article somewhat recently.

I doubt they simply hope every one forgets, they probably hope every one forgives eventually.

I guess it's fine if you decide to help people who don't want the help according to their own preferences, but if you want to make the society at large to help (e.g. through some customs or laws), then I should have a say in it, as a society member.
My last company was accused of this constantly. We would ask a very contrived, simplistic problem that was themed along with the domain of our business. Most good candidates would know this and solve it quickly. Many awful candidates would accuse us of using candidates for "free labor," and threaten to report us to whatever agency they think deals with this sort of thing.

I've seen this accusation thrown around dozens of times. I'm convinced that it's not really an actual issue, and just another way for bad candidates to transfer blame elsewhere.
The alt-text on the linked comic says "...until the list is sorted." Ergo, one must verify that it is sorted before knowing whether to execute the next code snippet.
This is absolutely true.

The problem is, it's easy to measure launches and their effects. It's almost impossible to measure "nurturing" or separate out its effects. So that isn't rewarded.

So you're right -- if you know you're going to do an amazing ongoing job with a product, it makes far more sense to do it as an owner (reap the rewards) than as a salaried PM.
It doesn't actually have exactly 1M processors.
My guess? The point is basically to create an aid to break your addiction. Why don't people just stop smoking? Why don't you just decide not to pull out your phone? Why don't you just put down that donut? Sometimes, we need an extra shove or hurdle to break bad habits.

Not necessarily, it depends on the LP agreement. It wouldn't be unusual to have an LP agreement where investments that are more than a certain percentage of the fund require sign off from the key LPs.
We do in fact have data about issues with male nurses iirc. It’s a whole social program to get more male nurses, to be respected as female nurses, to be allowed to perform nurse duties to vulnerable demographics such as children and be viewed as similarly safe as a female nurse doing the same.
I cant believe this flavor of an answer has to be rewritten every single time FAANG salaries are discussed here. Reading the replies to this thread, lot of bitter people. I myself did not feel like relearning all my undergrad CS problems, so I simply never applied to FAANG engineering job, that simple.

They do it this way because they can, they have to weed out 99% of candidates, they are hiring for software engineers, it makes sens to weed out those who do not know perfectly core/advanced CS problems/solutions.

Peterson doesn't publish his ideas in academic outlets. He is avoiding the proper discourse.
True but for web apps you use the same way to give permissions to use your device sensors you would use for a native app. The only difference is that it doesn't pass through the app store review process and apple gets no cut for it.

Thing is, what does actually "The experience of trying to write in a truly functional style" mean in practice.

FP Lisp/Scheme, FP ML, FP Haskell/Miranda, FP Idris, FP Scala, FP Kotlin, FP OCaml, FP ATS, FP .... ?

All of them express different views of what Functional Programming is supposed to be like.
Ah, so using Result types you can return

`(Optional<A>, Optional<B>, Optional<C>)`

– each can fail or succeed independently. But you can't do that if you're using exceptions to signal errors – it's like returning

`Optional<(A, B, C)>`

, you get either all the results or nothing. Good example, thanks!
It seems to provide a lot of the functionality of macOS Continuity[1], and then some. It's a shame we can't hook into that stuff on iOS, since it's already capable of doing a lot of this.

Author seems to have missed a big reason for why apps will continue to persist: they obscure data access permissions far better than browsers do. If you install FB messenger, Instagram, LinkedIn or whatever, you will be asked one time which permissions (location, microphone, contacts) you want to grant it, and most people won't even review the list before hitting Install.

On the web, the browser dialog will ask you each time the app wants to access any of these things, whereas on the app, it'll quietly continue the use the permissions you granted it, and eventually you'll forget you signed off on them in the first place.

Not to mention some particularly shameless actors will gimp their mobile web functionality to ensure you use their app at all times (FB, Airbnb, others).
Yes, of course, but maybe that's part of the problem.

> We could have one master password, use site and username (and maybe a counter, to make it easy to rotate passwords) as salt, and use a hashing or password derivation algorithm to derive a unique password for each service. This would only require you to pick and remember a strong master password.

This has been tried. While it initially sounds appealing, it is a monumentally terrible idea.

* You need software to implement the scheme.

* Rotation is a problem, you need a counter for state

* Different services have widely different password rules which are additional state

* If a site stores password data in cleartext or weakly hashed, your master password/passphrase can potentially be cracked

* People choose passphrases just as badly as they choose passwords

Just write your passwords down. Maybe leave a few characters off or don't label them.

Data migration strategies for making a “Seamless” transition
Thanks :), but as I said:

> If you already have a LineageOS-supported device, you can grab a prebuilt LineageOS+MicroG image from the MicroG site.

I redacted a lengthy part of my comment since I felt it wouldn't add anything to the discussion; but it went like this: Sadly, my device (HTC 10 aka pme) is officially only on LineageOS 14.x, which is Android 7. Since I am coming from Android 8 stock ROM, I'd like to stay on Android 8 or even get Android 9. There are unofficial LineageOS builds for this (from a guy who just doesn't merge the back to LOS; which I can understand considering the additional effort - on top of all the work is already doing). But of course they lack the necessary patches for MicroG. And the MicroG only pre-builts are based on the official LineageOS build process and thus the official images. So I can only get Android 7 + MicroG with the comfortable "grab image and flash"-method.

I gave building a custom MicroG+LOS{15.1,16.0} a shot using the official MicroG docker image (just a single docker run command) and adding the unofficial builds local_manifest.xml, but those two builds failed for me and I didn't bother messing around with that docker c*. Accidentally, I did that the day before this was posted to HN, no changes since then. But I suppose I'll try a docker-less build on my machine once I feel like it.

Eventually I can just put MicroG on the unofficial build from xda-devs, since that doesn't contain GApps; but I am not sure how great the experience is when not having the MicroG/F-Droid patches. I will see.

EDIT:
Regarding signature spoofing, the MicroG github wiki says:

> You can also patch your already-install ROM by flashing NanoDroid-patcher, without any computer interaction. It will auto-patch every updated ROM.

So maybe that works.
I wasn't commenting on academic research, I was commenting on the book The Nordic Gender Equality Paradox by Nima Sanandaji. Which is what the comment I was responding to was about.

You downvoted because you either didn't read the comment I responded to or didn't read my own in the context for which it was given.

Nima Sanandaji isn't a researcher and doesn't product academic, scientific, or sociological research. He's a political commentator who writes books and produces opinion pieces for political think-tanks.

Year after year the Googlegeist survey finds that one of the things Googlers most enjoy about working at Google is their fellow employees

> if it truly was better, everyone would adopt it

Google has an abundance of money and an abundance of applicants who would like to work there. Companies with fewer applicants per position or lower salaries relative to the industry average may need to be more open to false positives if they want to be able to hire anyone at all. Smaller companies also have the advantage that they can usually fire people more easily than larger companies, which helps lower the cost of false positives for them.
Writing down passwords is usually less bad than password reuse and use of weak passwords.

Sort of. You're selectively quoting "Write programs to handle text streams, because that is a universal interface" -- but that was from the days when "text" was basically synonymous with "ASCII".

Passwords aren't streams, and in the Unicode world, they're not even (predictable) byte arrays. This isn't just hypothetical. There have been recent bugs in major systems where people with non-ASCII passwords couldn't type them.

One of the major failings of QR codes for consumer use, IMHO, is that there is no fallback. With UPC, the number is printed right below the barcode, so when it doesn't scan, the clerk can just type in the digits.

ASCII digits are universal. Bytes are universal. Text is ... complicated.
Good response! To add to your points, GP also misses a really important distinction between science and religion and the way each system arrives at conclusions.

Science is merely a set of tools and processes, nothing more. Seriously, NOTHING more. If, as GP says, you are taking it on faith that some "scientific conclusion" is true, you're merely deferring expertise on the matter. Much like when your tech support guy says your hard drive is shot and you need to replace it, you just trust that he's more likely right than not, and take his advice. If you didn't want to believe him, you could go back to school to learn everything there is to know in the field and find out for yourself whether or not your hard drive is salvageable. You may even come to a different conclusion!

With Religion, there is nothing you can do to understand it. You can only "have faith". If your spiritual leader or holy book tells you the world is a certain way, you can only believe it, or disbelieve it, you cannot do anything to investigate the veracity of those claims. Truly, this is the most authoritarian of world views: Believe this because I tell you to!
