1. finish high school 2. don't have children outside of marriage 3. hold down a job, then you should more or less have a successful middle class existence.

What's wrong with that? I think that's a fine way to plan one's life. It's over simplifying some things. Not all high school educations are equally valuable, for one thing, which then also relates to point 3.

Can confirm WiFi calling works great. I've used it in multiple points on the globe without cell signal. Telegram also is a drop in replacement for Hangouts and iMessage. I use it on Android as well as iPhone.

At this point in time Apple really doesn't provide a compelling reason to me to use them. They lack a ton of polish, podcasts, family sharing management, dongle hell, and uninspired hardware that makes a lot of trade offs in order to be trendy are why I'll be moving back to Android. I guess in the end for me that's just a better market fit.

To the linux v Microsoft v MacOS there's really little difference aside from gaming and MS Office. If you're running servers or coding an Ubuntu purpose made laptop or server will generally work. If you need PowerPoint or gaming then you need Microsoft, and if you like a Unix environment or own an iPhone then MacOS and dongle hell is your best
bet. From personal experience I've had the most problem with Apple products but ymmv. I know people who've never had a single issue and don't mind the dongle.
Great, well I guess that one anecdote overrides a careful study by the Harvard department of Economics.
I’m a stay at home dad and have been for the last 5 years. My wife works for herself, spending anywhere from 10-14 hours a day working pretty much 6-7 days a week (she loves her job and gets paid well to do it).

Personally I don’t see it as an unfair bargain. I work hard at home, it can be stressful and tiring sometimes, but my wife takes on all the stress of providing income. I get ‘compensated’ pretty well - we have a good income and I live a great life. I personally think that home-makers who complain that they aren’t ‘compensated’ for their work are being churlish.

That’s great when it’s working well.

I suspect there’s a couple of problems -

(1) often the home-maker goes back to work, but the home-duties don’t get redistributed accordingly. The home maker is forever saddled with that burden, limiting their career options.

(2) In a divorce, the man is often left with a good income, through a valid, ongoing career, while the stay-at-home mom is left with an empty CV, the ongoing burden of the kids, and an allowance decided by the courts. Sure, men might have the burden of a new alimony/child payments ‘tax’, but otherwise they’re now free to do whatever they want. The woman isn’t.

(vast generalization of course)
I once called a friend that I hadn't talked with in a while, only to find out that he was helping load their office chairs into a U-Haul for their new owner. Awkward.

Quite often, the wife mostly controls the finances. Women have exercised power over domestic budgets even in quite patriarchal societies. My wife works and has control over the finances, even though we make about equal amounts. I save more for retirement than she does. I also do more of the housework. (Except this week.)
At first glance, I thought higher on the Y-axis (even though there isn't one) was more words. I was frantically hovering looking for Aesop Rock until I realized how the grid worked. Sure enough.

That's what I put on when I want to listen. It's like watching a movie, I don't want to work or exercise to it, it demands all my attention. On the other hand, nothing hypes me up like a DMX track.
>>> maybe Merriott shouldn't be asking for anybody's real name when they sign up for a hotel

It's important to distinguish that it wasn't actually Marriott that had the data breach. It was starwoods resorts, now a marriott owned entity, but at the time of the breach it was not a marriott property. Marriott is being attributed to the guilty party b/c they now own starwood, but Marriott's systems were never breached, so marriott should keep doing what they are doing (presumably) and transition all the starwood systems over to the more secure marriott systems (which I believe they already said they are doing).
That said, Intel’s 14nm is very mature though. The yields are likely very good at this point given how long they have been using it. Knowing it inside out also likely allows them to squeeze a little more performance out of it.

A pity about their 10nm. Won’t be surprised if they have given up on it by now and have shifted all resources to 7nm. Hopefully 7nm comes online before 14nm completely gives out.
Respect. DOOM nostalgia runs deep. And if anyone hasn't read Masters of Doom it is certainly of the most powerful origin stories imaginable ;)
I think they do understand exactly what is going on but they know that upload filters are faulty almost always in favor of people with money. Upload filters like ones on youtube are super biased towards taking down anything that looks like copyrighted content but they also take out a load of legitimate content. Its now up to the content owner to prove that their content was fair use or that its not even the same thing as the copyrighted content.

In the end the big companies win and the individuals lose.

You want both methods, of course, but if I were forced to pick just one it would be printf-based.
It's not a 16-bit driver issue; it's the conventional memory size issue. Remember the old 640 Kb limit? When you had too many DOS drivers loaded, you often ended up with less than 600 Kb free - and some 16-bit games didn't like running that low, hence the need to use HIMEM etc. And while it still works when running DOS apps from Windows, it reduced the amount of conventional memory even further.
No ruder than calling their parent comment absurd. In fact, I thought it was a clever way of pointing out the hubris in your statement, which I likewise read as "no intelligence in the universe in the next several billion years is likely to have a significantly more advanced understanding of the universe's physical laws and properties."
This is false at the company I work for now (an large enterprise) and was false when I was hiring for my startup.
My experience hiring women for our company has been 1.) they often don't want the job, 2.) when they get the job, they often balk at how demanding it is, then 3.) if they do stick around, regardless how much training we give them we end up having to let them go. This is not all female hires; we have women in customer service roles, for example, who outperformed our male hires; the females kept the job, the males did not. But for more technical roles, they have consistently either balked at the workload or underperformed and been quickly fired (we fire male workers who underperform just as quickly).

I would love to hire female employees who are every bit as driven, thorough, methodical, and accountable as our best male employees (the ones we don't fire), who are also cheaper. But they do not seem to exist.

The rare female prospective hires who are available and seem good are often priced so high I assume their rates are the result of Fortune 500 companies competing over them to have an effective female on the team. Good for them, but until effective females become cheaper than effective males it doesn't make sense for us to hire them from a value perspective (we don't need the social signaling points).

> This game defined FPS games.

Kind of literally. Before the term FPS they were called "DOOM clones".
Well, yes, those first couple paragraphs are the data. Everyone, even those who disagree with you, are aware of that. But people who disagree with you have considered other things, too.

One such thing is the question of whether income is genetically determined.

Well, there are 3 characteristics (aside from the direct sexual characteristics of genitals, mammaries, and presence/absence of a womb) that are associated with sex sufficiently well that describing them is a strong predictor of sex. Those are vocal register, height, and physical strength.

2/3rds of those factors make it awfully unlikely women will be playing in the NBA and getting those salaries. But the number of jobs where those characteristics are strong predictors of performance is vanishingly small.

So why are women making less money at the median? Women aren't genetically predisposed to desiring a better quality of life. If that's a real factor, there has to be a non-genetic reason underlying it. And that's what people are looking for. You can't just dismiss that as feminism.

As if there's something wrong with that? Precisely what are you coding in your assertion that something is just because of feminism? That it's worth less? That it's not important? If not those, why bring it up at all?

My two thoughts from the Camp Fire.

1. Building codes allowed this to happen. Why are people allowed to build homes with asphalt roofs and wood siding in the urban-wildland interface? Indoor fire sprinklers are now required by code, why not outdoor fire sprinklers in interface environments like this?

2. Could we have an infrared geostationary satellite that could automatically alert fire crews to new infrared events? How about having helicopters on standby ready to respond within minutes of a satellite-sensed infrared flair up?
Those are two great examples -- one thing I'd like to add is that the audience of Hackernews is pretty upper-middle class (as are the anecdotes in this thread), these issues are compounded greatly when it comes to poor or working class women, who may feel completely trapped in a bad marriage economically, or may be struggling as single working mothers.

You didn’t limit it to the workplace. You said the pay gap is due to “interests” not a “patriarchal world against womens.” The study specifically mentions patriarchal gender roles as a primary factor behind those interests.

When you really think about it most of the jobs people end up doing and honestly most things people do in general aren't really 'meaningful'. It's up to you to figure out a meaning to the things you do.

It doesn't need to be grandiose. I like the fact that I get to make things at work. The things I make take skill and craft to make and not everybody can do it. In my free time I enjoy making other things. They're all kind of frivolous but in the end anything other than the things necessary to exist could be considered frivolous.

In the end I found it was better to try and find a bit of meaning in otherwise meaningless things and appreciate that than search for some overarching grand meaningful thing to do.

I tried that....in the end it didn't end up mattering, my own wellbeing in life ended up suffering and I didn't really feel that fulfilled doing things that 'made a difference'. In the end everything comes down to perspective and not everybody needs to do something grand and amazing.

As long as you're doing your best to better yourself at various things in life. Whether it be skills or life in general I figure you're probably doing alright. Anyone can only really do the best they can at things. This may ending up being great and beneficial for lots of people or maybe only a few. But everything kind of makes a difference. Even little things.

Sorry this may have came off kind of discoherent and rambly but these are kind of my own thoughts i've had about such things over the years.
I believe there’s a verification process if you say you’re a PhD.
That's a really good point, Marriott just had an unlucky purchase.

That being said, between the recent Google+ breaches, to the older Target breaches, it increasingly feels like I'm flipping a coin when I trust companies with data.

Based on Marriott's handling of this breach, they seem to be decent at security. But I don't know how as a consumer I could tell that in advance of all of this.
Yeah; same probably goes for this conversation. FWIW it wasn't just a typo, it was a repeated use of the wrong word. I'm no "grammar nazi", but there are (thankfully) a large number of HN readers for whom English is a foreign language. I'm happy to absorb the occasional downvote in the process of helping teach and improve the quality of others' communication. As measured by upvotes and grateful replies, the community here agrees.

Whatever's going on, you gotta catch it sooner, right? Any way the stories can be smaller and get out to QA sooner?

Maybe you could try being "Manager AB"

Instead of a totally hands-off "Manager A" style maybe you can work more closely with them to develop those stories and make sure they understand what technical requirements (WCAG compliance, etc) each story needs to hit before they estimate them
The tower carried 115 kV and was built in 1919 according to https://www.chicoer.com/2018/12/07/it-was-originally-built-i...

San Francisco Gas and Electric Company and the California Gas and Electric Corporation merged to form PG&E in 1905.

This technology dates from the almost the earliest days:
both Nikola Tesla (d 1943) and Thomas Edison (d 1931) were still alive when this tower was built, and George Westinghouse died only in 1914.
> One of the original complaints of feminism was that we had developed a culture where both men and women work all day long, but women’s work was unpaid domestic work while the men got the paycheck. That gave men huge power over women in a society that still relied on the women’s work.

The woman is effectively doing the work for the man (or for herself). She doesn't do the work for nothing, she does it in exchange for a roof over her head and food on the table, and medical insurance coverage and an address in a good school district for her kids etc. etc.

If the non-monetary compensation is less than she can earn by formally working as a cook or a maid (or a retail clerk or a biology professor) then she can do that instead. But if it's not, she's still not working for nothing.
> Amazon became an ARM architecture licensee

Does Amazon really have an ARM architecture license? I thought these chips were using stock ARM cores (licensing cores only, not architecture).

I asked on HN on the original announcement and it sounded like that was the case: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18553028

Also, I would argue that a custom ISA matters far less than a custom microarchitecture. After all, Intel is (mostly) using AMD's ISA.
There are significant mitigation efforts in place:

Also noted in the above pdf is the salt water intrusion into the Biscayne Aquifer which is used for drinking water in the area - this is a major issue.
There's another important trend in these two examples that generalizes well beyond just machine learning.

If you show a willingness to scrape resources together to work on difficult problems, that's scrappier than the majority of your competition for the job. Startups love that.

Of course actual technical skill matters, but in my experience, the willingness to reach for aspirational goals is rarer than baseline competence, so I'll happily interview someone who shows that specific trait.
> Upload filters like ones on youtube are super biased towards taking down anything that looks like copyrighted content

Youtube's filter removed the audio track from a video of mine that was essentially silent to start with. There was certainly no music, TV, movie, etc... in the background.
so, an autonomous self-propeller 3d printer using sand and solar to build the walls is the weapon of the future.
ARM architectural licensees develop their own microarchitectures that implement the ARM ISA spec, they do not license any particular microarchitecture from ARM (e.g. Cortex-A? IP cores). That includes Apple, Samsung, Nvidia and others.
RealNameGate was the tipping point from OK to bad IMHO. When they forced the issue, they lost a lot of goodwill. They should have done something similar to the optimal implementation of Twitter verified, merely to authenticate identity if the user desires (without bungling it as badly as Twitter has done).

You seem to be ignoring the linked study, which found that female bus and train operators earned less because they took more time off and worked less overtime. Pay gaps due to reasons like these don't create arbitrage opportunities. You want people to work overtime when you ask for overtime.

In general, the pay gap due to discrimination is much smaller than the total pay gap. It's also not universal: it varies by city and occupation. If you're evaluating two employees who seem about equally qualified and one asks for a 30% lower salary, it's easy to see the arbitrage opportunity. But if the employee is only asking 5% less? It's less obvious. You may have felt from the interview that the other candidate was 6% better overall.

Then consider that discriminatory employers may not be evenly dispersed. In towns without much discrimination, there may be no arbitrage opportunity. In towns with heavy discrimination, there may not be enough non-discriminatory employers to hire all the undervalued workers.

The first real-time multiplayer game I played 'online' was Modem Wars for the Commodore 64 by the now deceased Danielle Bunten Berry, who also made lots of other incredible ground breaking games like M.U.L.E. and Seven Cities of Gold.

I wish Modem Wars was rebooted, in many ways, it was the first "Starcraft 2" game for modem play, and was incredibly fun.
There are sexist gender roles at play even among single parents, potentially.

How can we determine those aren't preferential choices?

(To wit, you didn’t lament the rise of “single fatherhood.”)

There is an apparent bias against men getting custody of the children. There also isn't a lamentation about men's under-representation in certain medical fields in certain countries.

It is, of course, possible that for women this situation is not as much a personal preference as it is a constraint.

Why is it a constraint? How are they being coerced? Are you implying that some mothers would rather spend more time working, make more money, and have less time with their children, but they are being compelled to do otherwise? There are some wealthy mothers who do this by hiring caretakers.
The only really useful distinction that can be made here is between companies that have architecture licenses, and therefore can design their own uarch, and companies with any other kind of arm license.
Regardless, for such a vast system wildfires are to some extent inevitable. From a macroscopic perspective a poorly maintained tower is just as foreseeable as an arsonist or an overheating car that pulls onto the side of the highway. And at some point the marginal cost of prevention far exceeds the marginal reduction in risk. In other words, a some point we just need to accept the risk.

To the extent we require PG&E to be perfectly diligent, then we incentivize people to build their houses with matchsticks.

It's annoying when people get upset about California "bailing out" PG&E. As a regulated utility PG&E can't control the prices they charge users, nor do they have any power over, e.g., building regulations that would minimize damages. In a free market for PG&E to completely internalize (and minimize) the fire hazards they create, electricity prices would almost certainly be politically unviable, particularly in remote communities.

No matter what we do the costs of these fires will be socialized. PG&E is a heavily regulated public utility. The time to punish PG&E is when they fail to abide by regulations, not after big fires.

As a society we've already decided on the principle mechanism for incentivizing diligent behavior on the part of PG&E. When big fires happen we'd be better off emphasizing remediations like changing building codes (including requiring retractive remediation), and maybe tightening PG&E regulations. But of course it's far easier and more politically expedient to simply blame PG&E outright. And the politicians who understand this dilemma? We blame them for being corrupt for not doing the "obviously right" thing. And this is why politics is broken; because we refuse to accept that there are trade-offs, that no matter what we do bad things happen, people will get hurt, and we have to make difficult decisions about maximizing equality (sic) while trying to avoid moral hazard.
Samsung launched the first mass market laptops with SSDs. I'll absolutely agree on their monitors, DVDs were already on the way out but it was a smart move for their target market. Claiming thunderbolt as a win seems a bit will since they are known for ditching their own standards often.

I can't say I'm seeing much innovation that isn't design related specific to form factor. Their software has stagnated, iTunes and Apple music are a hot mess of garbage. Aside from removing the headphone jack to force people into higher priced headphones, I'm having a hard time finding the value and the market seems to be agreeing.
