France gets them a lot. Often it’s “DHL” calling and you have to pay some fee to release a package.

Likely because cheap francophone labour is available in similar time zones.
This actually happened a few months ago with my work phone number, which I had forwarded to my cell. Within tens of minutes, my cell voicemail box was completely full. Luckily I just had to stop forwarding calls to my cell and disconnect my work phone (which I never really used anymore).

Before I figured out it was my work number that had been 'stolen', I was talking to my cell carrier (tmobile) who basically said the only 'solution' was to get a different phone number. This would be an excellent way to DoS a competitor, for example..
From [1] (the meta-analysis), "Working memory interventions proved most effective (g = 0.479), though memory, processing speed, and multi-domain interventions also significantly improved cognition."

From [2] (the crash results), deaths and drop-outs were handled by adjusting crash rates to total person-year exposure times. In this study as a whole, non-completion rates were not significantly different across groups.

Yes, pre-registraton is an excellent idea.
Even deadpool? I'm getting marvel/dc fatigue as well, but damn I can't get enough Deadpool -- fucking hilarious.

As far as depth, I can't think of a Netflix film I really remember as standing out, now Serials --I can name a bunch: The OA, Stranger Things, Haunting of Hill House, etc -- they may not have found a groove yet w/ movies but they sure have w/ original series -- though they did hit a few snags too, their Marvel world sort of fell apart, and some characters were good, some totally were lame (Iron fist esp.).
It's not exactly the same, but first-party isolation [1] sounds like it would be pretty similar.

My understanding (disclaimer, not a lawyer) would be yes this would be a violation. However the group of people who connect to random MySQL servers is going to be almost exclusively black-hat.

This would be akin to "But officer he stole my drugs", sure they committed a crime but in reporting it you implicated yourself.
I've a similar setup and no problems. Perhaps try updating the firmware, and reseating the connections. If there are still problems perhaps some parts need to be replaced.
Was it in advertising or other official materials? If so, could you reference them?
I don’t really like being accepting of oscillation.

Forward movement, progress, shouldn’t be defined as updating who we discriminate against.

Progress would be to stop discriminating. Optimizing for equality of outcome seems to be causing discrimination. That doesn’t look like progress to me.
Great explanation - thanks!
That is really great advice unless the company you're working at turns out to be really valuable, in which case it's really bad advice.

Hegel, when discussing his dialectic, ascribed it to Kant. Presumably to keep philosophy majors on their toes.
Linux has support for kernel ASAN and I think UBSAN too. User mode linux is a also thing and does roughly what you described, and I think you can run it under valgrind too.
You're saying that female programmers don't program, and therefore they deserve to be paid less

This is weird. That's not how I read what leereeves wrote at all. Yet you repeatedly insist that's what he's saying. Are you perhaps projecting an opinion onto leereeves? Preferences can very much influence the outcomes of a training pipeline for a field. (I say this as someone who taught a class attended by Chic Tech students.) That's just common sense.
OK, let me give you an example outcome and maybe you can explain to me how the third possibility applies in a way that is meaningfully distinct from the first two.

Outcome: The women working as programmers at FooSoft make on average 10% less than the men working there.

Possible reasons:

1. Lack of opportunity (e.g. people in power at FooSoft have bias against them makes it harder for them to have their contributions valued)

2. They just aren't as good as the men

3. They...have different interests in some way that apparently doesn't make them worse but does make them deserve to be paid less?
Yes i agree. There are some exceptions. You have Fusion360 (also autodesk)
which is a slim version of Inventor. It is web based and used by lots of professional people. It also works quite similar to Inventor. So switching isnt that hard.
But to go from 3dmax or maya to an entirely different ecosystem. I don't see that happen anytime soon.
In terms of this article, when "shaking the Chrome habit":

> I’m growing less and less comfortable with having Google know more and more about me.

Is any browser built on Chromium completely de-Googled? Brave is moving to a Chromium foundation.
Stopping distance is not an issue if you don’t need to stop in the first place.

That means good road maintenance, no abrupt turns, properly protecting access (even from wild life, which can mean underpass for big animals), easy way out for people to go slow if they feel it won’t do it for them, frequent info panels in case anything happens.

Of course for all of that there needs to be an underlying safety culture.
I can't really agree with you. I understand the premise, and I certainly agree that some users genuinely don't like choice. But I think a much more reasonable explanation of that attitude fits the following two points.

1. "Why not use [X]" is a perfectly valid question for gaining insight into the merits of new tech. If I have problems that I've solved with [X] and you're now implying that I should use [Y], I want to know what makes [Y] different or better than [X] in your opinion. I want to know what problems you're solving, so I can compare them to mine. I want to know what benefits you're getting that I may not have considered. That's a totally valid approach to understanding a new product.

2. Assuming you aren't solving new problems with [Y] and you're really just directly competing with [X] and I already use [X]... I may be inclined to think it's a waste of effort because I won't get any benefit from your work (I'm already using [X]!). Worse, you could have been making [X] better instead of just competing with [Y]!

Of the two, I think both play a role in the mindset of people making that argument. I'm not very sympathetic to the second, but the first is fine.
Well that was the craziest Godwinning I've ever seen.

I don't think private bondsmen in the US can legally contract to require people to wear ankle bracelets.

More fundamentally though, these sorts of "free market" theories tend to assume an unreasonable amount of options and knowledge of potential clients. See: payday loans. Sure, in theory all the details of the loans are pre-agreed, and customers sure do have a lot of options. In practice, the most ethical providers tend not to be the most successful.
Ha, good point. I'd love to buys some ... I think I have a dollar or two...
Women who achieve the same things as men deserve the same compensation. I don't think anyone on this thread disagrees with that.

This article is about a comprehensive review of salaries at Google that concluded that overall, women who achieved the same job levels as men were being paid more.

The opportunity vs. outcome question is applied to the question of representation. How many women should we expect to see at Google, across job levels, if the process for selecting and promoting people is fair?
It's not a fee: you get it back just for showing up to court, whether you're guilty or innocent.
For lightweight & quick conceptual work, even final deliveries most of the time, nothing beats a browser based available-everywhere tool. No files to sync, same tool to both view & edit the files.

I used Industry heavyweight Photoshop for 15+ years, Sketch for 4 and dropped everything for Figma[1] after playing with it for 2 days. Now my UX comps, UI sketches all available EVERYWHERE. All inspirations, rough concepts all stacked away in any browser I have access to. I move to different machines a lot (Macs/Windows). Used to carry around a USB stick (synced to Dropbox from my home computer).

Now it is nirvana - No syncing, No dropboxing or figuring out where my prototypes, v1, 'final-final-v1-1-edit-final' files, & source files are. Not only the files are available, but the viewer to view those files are right there.

> There may be some quirk/feature of modern Intel processors

not so much of a quirk, but basic behaviour of any OoO processor due to register renaming. This is true on the vast majority of intel (and AMD) cpus (in fact probably all the currently sold ones as even atom has acquired a limited OoO engine and the knight variants are no more).

It is so fundamental that, as described elsethread zeroing a register is almost free (it still costs decode bandwidth and icache size).

Bottom line in the vast majority of cases, zeroing the registers is almost always a win.

edit: having said that I doubt that gcc is trying to optimize the UB case, probably it the optimizer just requires that the variable has a value at that point.
Sounds like you've been opted-in to a trial of SHAKEN/STIR[0], which is a new government mandated technology that phone companies have to install to block robocalls this year. I believe it will be free to all because it will be required by the gov.

Interesting while also reminding me of those weird society rules.

Free access to booze, tobacco and guns: ok, but you're the only one in charge of whatever happens next.

It's interesting how this sort of discussion is actually leading HN to be more of an echo chamber. Most of my female friends in tech completely avoid it now because it seems that discussions that get voted up tend to ignore or belittle their experiences—even if there may be lots of great points and perspectives mixed in. In fact, the only response I noticed explicitly from someone who identified as female was being downvoted last I checked: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19306248

That can feel rather insulting and demoralizing, and why would anyone want to subject themselves to that? Instead many women just avoid HN—which in turn means that it becomes more male dominated, with more upvotes and mindshare to comments about experiences of "the other" that may not by particularly well informed—because it's not worth the time of a woman to even chime in.

Regardless of your opinions on these specific issues, this dynamic of driving away women decreases the likelihood of everyone gaining a well informed perspective. It doesn't just impact gender issues. It impacts discussions on the importance and potential markets of startups that provide products which aren't just male focused. And you can end up with more things like: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2019/feb/23/truth-w...

Not an easy dynamic to "fix", but a useful thing to remember when thinking about communities, incentives, and impacts...
Given their field, it is safe to assume this is a joke.
"It has been brought to our attention that your Google Plus Profile..... " is this for real???
Well there's a reason I said 'need' not 'reliably get'.

Also the original quote was university teaching. The whole professorship and tenure thing is a separate giant ball of complication, and you're right that all that non-teaching stuff is extremely difficult.
I think this is a valid point, but a kid would have to be pretty aloof these days to not recognize the expectations being placed on them. I have memories as early as Kindergarten and Pre-K, where it was really clear that adults wanted us to know that boys weren't better than girls.

(as a bit of an aside, I always wished at that time that people wouldn't push the issue. Bringing it to the forefront forced the topic, and one group of kids would "win" the argument at the expense of the other kids.)
I'm trying to get leereeves to actually explain what he means. What sort of difference do people think exists between men and women that makes them deserve to, for example, be paid less for the same work (i.e. worse outcome) without being worse at the job?
Agree. Credential syncing is important.

Use case: I create an account using using a Yubikey on my desktop, then want to access that account from my mobile phone using a fingerprint. How does the website know I'm the same person?

Keybase has a nifty personal web-of-trust for this stuff, but (A) that ties you to a single strong identity and (B) you can't really use that identity outside of their services.
Have you considered building https://cdn.sr.ht? I do a similar process for some sites and use AWS CloudFront to essentially get globally deployed static sites.

Since this is a workflow you've encountered might be something that people would pay for. I definitely like a CloudFront alternative that wasn't as overpriced.
And it can easily be justified by two assumptions:

1. The average under-compensated man had worked there longer or had been under-compensated longer

AND/OR

2. The average under-compensated man was in a higher paid role.
I think the signaling is more like 10 GHz and data is scrambled to spread EMI over a wide range.
Depends on the kind of position/specialization/seniority you are trying to break into but in general I've found that companies really only care about algorithms in interviews. You can get almost any job in this industry despite your educational background, employment history, soft-skills, emotional intelligence as long as you are willing to hunker down for a few months and review your data structures and algorithmic knowledge.

No, they charge you a fee in addition:
"Bond agents generally charge a fee of ten percent for a state charge and fifteen percent for a federal bail bond, with a minimum of one hundred dollars in such states as Florida, required in order to post a bond for the full amount of the bond. This fee is not refundable and represents the bond agent's compensation for services rendered." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bail_bondsman
Thanks for posting. American Prometheus is one of the best books I've ever read. It gives you such a detailed look into the life of Oppenheimer without much interpretation, which you don't need because his life story is so intriguing. This book sounds like an interesting companion because there were times when I wanted more of an attempt to explain or understand some of the personality quirks and contradictions that wouldn't be at home in a pure biography. Will give it a read.

On related but tangential news: The Académie came up recently in the news in their opposition to a book designed to teach history to third graders that used "gender inclusive" forms (https://www.theregreview.org/2018/03/21/sen-france-linguisti...). Under standard French grammar rules Under the standard rules "a male and a female friend are described as “amis”. Two or more friends are called “amies” only when no men are included.", i.e. a group with only one male member becomes masculine.
Now, if only someone would actually ship a USB-C 3.2 (or Thunderbolt) active cable. :(

I have a couple of situations I would like a 7m-ish Thunderbolt 3 cable but can’t seem to find one, even for the multiple-hundreds it would probably cost.
From my experience with robocallers: they already know your name
I added a fake number because they wouldn't stop asking me for it, and now it just occasionally asks for it. There's no reason they need it, and I don't even put my real name on there. If you wanna not hire me because of that, your loss.
Is it actually correlated to flight risk? Do they ever determine accused murderers are low risk?
> Do you know how hard it is to save up for a house (on the west coast !!) knowing you'll never get a windfall from Mom and Dad?

Pardon the naive question, but what sort of windfall from Mom and Dad to people expect when saving up for a house? Is it common on the coasts for parents to help their children buy a house? I've never thought to plan for help from my parents for anything (I'll be happy if they can cover their own care).
I've been wondering whether there's possibility of a "browser" being something other than an "application". In general I like my software decomposed into actions that I can recompose as I wish in the shell. For something as generic as "web browser" I'm not (yet?) sure what that looks like - actually experimenting seems like a lot of work.
Why do you think your last paragraph hasn't prevented women from becoming numerous and successful in many other fields, such as becoming doctors? Could it be because of one of the most reproducable and statistically significant findings in social psychology, that women are generally more interested in people and men more interested in things?
Rust used to have capture clauses, but they were removed in order to reduce the complexity of the language. It might make sense to add them back later, but given that Rust is still constantly criticized for being too complex I think it's probably still not yet time.
I think the subtext is that you're always taking a risk with start-up options, so minimize the risk by assuming the worst. Your basis for comparison/negotiation should be other offers, or your existing job and other offers. In a vacuum you'll never be able to make a realistic evaluation.
My opinion is that these are just be symptoms of our social mental state. We're the virus. We need to fix ourselves. Maybe space exploration will help us see a little more long term? Hope so.
I agree with that, JIRA is so monstrously difficult. But this kind of limited configuration might not be so bad. If it's kept selective, some configuration is well-loved by technical users, the vast majority of GitHub's visitors.

I think the default order would be used by anyone who doesn't care to configure it.

In some sub-tab of the User Settings panels, there could be a drag-and-drop sort list (like the one for sorting the "featured repositories" on the profile) to arrange the tabs in a different order, and a button to reset them to default.

Maybe one other setting I would add is "dark mode". The CSS is essentially already written in public Chrome browser extensions to "reskin" GitHub's UI. This is because customizing light/dark modes is gaining in popularity. It's a new macOS trend and in my experience surprisingly common in iOS apps too. Since about 70% developers trend towards dark IDEs, it makes sense to have.

Unlike JIRA, I don't think any of these settings should be at the forefront... you should just have sensible defaults and a way to customize it. GitHub Help articles are well-indexed on Google and anyone who wants to know how to change the color mode or tab order is only going to do it about once, so clicking through menus is a familiar and safer-feeling (as opposed to direct links to private UIs) UX, and it's the same as any other process like adding a SSH key, webhook, or app password.

I do think that GitHub's main user base is increasingly loving their customizability. VS Code and Atom gain a lot of traction for their total customizability and extensibility with plugins. I'm not at all suggesting GitHub go in that direction -- but, GitHub is more of a cloud-based software tool than a website. A little bit of customizability goes a long way with user satisfaction, at least to tech-enthusiastic users.

Just little feature flags would be incredibly handy. For example, default to ignoring whitespace in PR diffs (a feature otherwise only available if you know the URL trick, and can't be saved to user settings like your preferred diff layout).

It's the same amount of customizability as "how many emails do you want to display per page" in Gmail. It's enough personalization to be useful and done officially instead of through hacky, dangerous, frequently-breaking Chrome extensions to work around the things that impede productivity.
How can it be a step and also address it? You're creating a dichotomy that you're refusing to resolve here...
Using Dell XPS 13 (9365) and Dell TB16 in Windows with three monitors. My experience is great except for months where USBs were not recognized and I couldn't use the dock because I couldn't use the keyboard and mouse. I assume the problem was fixed after some drivers/firmware updates. I continue to see some issues that I can tolerate.

I love the vision of the Thunderbolt technology because you can have a standard way to switch your notebook to a desktop mode using a single cable but at the same time it is clear that Windows and Windows based notebooks live in "no man's land", there is no good integration and nobody to blame about the hardware and software integration.

I imagine in the future you can have good eGPU support and may be additional processors.
This is a very good discussion, back and forth. I think it is worth asking who should be capturing the economic benefit here. A tax break for google in this case is allowing google to capture the economic benefit it creates for the public. Not giving it a tax break allows the public to capture that economic output. While I very much agree that this project will add value to the economy, if google is given a $15m tax incentive to create this property, it means that the public doesn't get it.

Those justifications you lay out are real, but if you pay google for them in the form of a tax break it all balances out. It doesn't create value from nothing.

In some cases, once you flee/escape/skip-bail you will face additional charges (as well as likely getting a stiffer sentence for the underlying crime.)

The miserable life of being on the run might not have been worth the original threat being faced, but, regrettably, it may be worth the original threat + the new threat.

That's why every so often governments will have amnesty-like programs where you are able to turn yourself in with no extra consequences if you have a warrant. Or, for that matter, register for citizenship or legal status without fear of facing the legal consequences for the original illegal entry or overstay of visa.
> It's not a perfect world and IMO most people really aren't trying / putting in the effort on the things we think they should

That's a managerial problem not a technical one, so any technical solution like dumbing down the user interface will almost certainly fail.
Oh yeah, it's horrifying to even consider.
