High school, college, any STEM fields are all overwhelmingly biased in terms of favoring women.

My daughter who is finishing the primary school has recently asked me if it's okay if she doesn't like math, but likes animals and babies.

Sounds like some pressure is being applied...
Times change though for cost economics as an industry matures. I live in Atlanta and there are now more movies and TV shows filmed in the state of Georgia than in Los Angeles now. I keep seeing reports of people constantly moving to Georgia to work in the entertainment industry and several people I know have ties to the entertainment industry here as well. Almost all the Marvel movies are filmed downtown and in various locations throughout metro Atlanta. Every other Netflix series has been filmed in the area. There are tons of yellow signs pointing to movie and TV shooting locations throughout the city.

Entertainment is a lot more cost-sensitive to labor than most tech companies and while a lot of regulations on filming can be an issue on occasion I'm pretty sure that all of it is dwarfed by the sheer number of bodies necessary to film some scenes on a non-studio location.

During the Great Recession, movie stars kept their 8+ figure checks but almost everyone else took massive cuts. Similar economics happen in labor markets for tech where we are seeing a very clear bimodal distribution of pay for those in FAANGS companies (or very close to them) and those that aren't.

I'd expect to be able to whitelist my doctor's office number.
Likewise services I use like Uber/Lyft/delivery service XYZ.

And if whitelisting becomes a thing you know the UI is going to say "your order is complete! Please click here to whitelist our number in case we need to reach you."

Not a big deal, and it basically solves phone spam.
Transmit and receive previously shared pins, USB 3 split transmit and receive into separate pairs, which are still serial

edit: yikes, looks like USB C doubled the number of those separate pairs, for a total of 6 data pins (2x RX, 2x TX, 2x USB 2.0 RX/TX)
Actuallym it is: You're right to need an extra instruction, but you gain a register. Storing and reloading this register would take instructions too.

I threw this in godbolt, so play around, e.g. initialize ret or invert the condition. Linus' version has 36 lines, most other things I tried end up with 40 or more.

From the article:

Joelle Emerson, chief executive of Paradigm, a consulting company that advises companies on strategies for increasing diversity, said the pay gap correction only served “to benefit a group that is dramatically overrepresented in engineering, and that faces fewer barriers to access and opportunity in the field.”

Also, from the article:

“We know that’s only part of the story,” Lauren Barbato, Google’s lead analyst for pay equity, people analytics, wrote in a blog post set to be made public on Monday. “Because leveling, performance ratings, and promotion impact pay, this year, we are undertaking a comprehensive review of these processes to make sure the outcomes are fair and equitable for all employees.”

So...workplace experts said.
BoringSSL if you can, otherwise most projects still keep using openssl over libressl. LibreSSL API changes were a bit too radical to be widely adopted, and mbedtls or pornin's BearSSL is too different, though much better on recent attacks.

I would summarize Google did a better job than the OpenBSD folks. Pornin's BearSSL is also extremely good.
No one is taking these Volvos to the track. Do they even make something that'd be worth tracking anymore?

A flat percent based tax system does tax the rich more effectively

Where do you get that idea? Most countries have progressive taxes, i.e. tax bands, because it's an effective way to raise a good amount of government income. With a flat rate, the tax burden on the lowest earners would be very heavy, especially as poor people spend a much higher fraction of their earnings on day-to-day essentials rather than luxuries.

Flat income tax looks somewhat uncommon around the world, judging from Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_tax#Around_the_world
In my experience, Python is usually used because of a low barrier-to-entry and the availability of a lot of libraries. It's great for slapping something together quickly to do something useful. However, if you want something that's high-performance and well-engineered, it just isn't the right tool for the job usually.
This is historically true, and while it's certainly the case that revolutions are usually bloody (and therefore not worth implementing), I am afraid corporations will not go out of business. What I mean to say is that, by the end of my lifetime, it will no longer be the case that "corporations go out of business" if, instead, the tenure of the legally defined corporate entity becomes meaningless in a frothy sea of restructures, acquisitions, and spin-outs. What we'll see instead are long-lived monopolies-in-all-but-name. I think we are seeing this now.

An individual factory may go offline, but "big food" will not.

Edit: And this is the case I expect regardless of which post-capitalist scenario we face: either a) neoreactionary feudalism or b) socialist collectivization. In either scenario, the corps don't go out of business.
> good USB C cables seem to be made out of gold

USB type C cables are active (they have silicon in them and handshake themselves with the host rather than simply being wire (possibly plus a resistor) as with old USB cables.)

Cost will come down as volume goes up. Currently the only way to buy a cheaper cable is to buy a noncompliant and possibly dangerous one.

> Life would become so much easier if everything was USB C to USB C

I would agree with the added caveat of "... and if you could tell by inspection what sort of cable you have: speed, power, and protocols supported -- and some way to verify conformance"
In a dev branch of beaker, I've been playing around with something similar the "Modal Page Actions" idea with a "context bar." It has actions based on what the browser recognizes about the site (stuff like "follow this site" or "view profile" or "10 comments"). I'd like to have a whole contextual sideview as well, because I'd like to render trusted interfaces for the given page, but it's a little tricky to decide when to take real-estate in the shell. Some people liked it in a demo, and some felt like it's an intrusion. The trick is, if you make it a toggle then you can't rely on the interface being there so it's hard to use for critical functions, which makes me think it shouldn't be a priority yet. We'll see about the context bar.

The "My Homepage" concept will be in the next release. Seems like a good idea.
True, I just realized that this is for display bandwidth. And also in the future, possibly for inexpensive 40gbps networking/video/gpu

Don't get your hopes up, as this is just a dream. USB-C only specifies the connector. What your cables support, and what end devices support is anyone's guess. See for example https://superuser.com/questions/1199917/what-is-the-d-shaped...

In my opinion, the mess is actually much worse with USB-C, as with earlier connectors I at least had a chance of guessing whether the cable/connection will work by looking at the connectors. With USB-C? No idea.
Finding a recent board that can run mainline kernels may be a challenge.
After all this, Google would do well to issue a formal apology to James Damore.
I must say, it seems like a non-troversy to me. Many of those who are 'unwilling to work' precarious jobs with no benefits and wages you can't support a family on would be perfectly 'willing to work' if their job had even a fraction of the pay, stability and opportunity for advancement that is offered in the software industry. No shit someone doesn't wanna take burger orders at $8/hr for a company that will replace them with a talking touch screen in a few years.
I'd argue that the skill-set to be an effective teacher is also not prevalent in the general population. This includes not only intellectual capacity (effective pedagogy is hardly a cakewalk) but also the emotional intelligence required to manage a classroom.
I know, but for me it was on by default.

That's nonsense, prices were ballooning in California before Prop 13, and was in response the great inflation in the 70s.

Property taxes do go up in California, just not at the speculative price increases due to tiny interest rates and investors.

If you want to find fault, blame interest rates and people paying the maximum monthly payment based on tiny interest rates, and ignoring the ridiculous house prices.
We have exchanged sources. Thank you.

Your assertion is that Japan and Korea are highly discriminatory against women? That's certainly interesting and I'm not sure I can defend against that position. Perhaps women in japan and korea are extremely oppressed. This is certainly not what I thought after reading for example or just seeing what's portrayed in the media. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women_in_South_Korea

Meanwhile your source has Rwanda as #6 most equal. I'm very confused about what the data is saying. It's certainly feeling more like a checkbox list.

So let's look at Canada. Both my data and your data have them with poor performance. Mind you my data is just looking at wage gap.

Women in Canada for ECONOMIC PARTICIPATION AND OPPORTUNITY is 27th place behind Brunai and Ghana. This seems quite incorrect. Women have completely the same economic opportunity as men in Canada. So this is a debateable number. Women are educated BETTER than men and certainly work. So I'm not sure how this data was determined. The actual number should be showing discrimination against me.

Women in Canada are 1.0 for education. That's good. Like I just said https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/81-004-x/2008001/article... Women outnumber men. So this is actually false information. They capped the number wrongly at 1.0.

Women in Canada for HEALTH AND SURVIVAL aren't in the list? USA is in 71st place. I happen to know this statistic. Women live longer than men. So they cherry picked and removed this data? https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/82-624-x/2011001/article... This another number completely false.

Women in Canada for POLITICAL EMPOWERMENT are 21st place behind india and nambia. Except we live in a democratic society with no barriers. Women can run for politics. So this should be a 1.0.

So I guess in conclusion I find your study to be biased, false, and wrong.

Let me explain to you what's happening. Women have the CHOICE. They choose careers that they get paid less in. This is a good thing. They have the freedom. The gap is not a problem.
Apple will never use coloured ports.
I saw it years ago, and it was passed off as a joke, but I think it's incredibly true.

I would be willing to bet money that at least 90% of crashes are caused by at least 1 driver doing something stupid. Using their phone while driving, not adequately looking before changing lanes, ignoring signs or traffic lights, driving drunk, etc. Calling these types of crashes "accidents" lessens the responsibility on the person that caused it. When you're in control of a 2,000+ hunk of steel, there's no room for carelessness.

Couldn't agree more. Would also add that this "best dev==best at coding" ain't only restricted to the young ones. Never stop asking theses "why" questions that sometimes show us that crappy and cheap systems may work wonders ;)
Hi, Felipe Hoffa at Google here.

We're aware the dataset hasn't been updated since a month ago, and we are working to fix it. You can track the issue here:

- https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/127132286

In the meantime you can still play with the dataset, and dig into the full history of Hacker News - less this last month. I left some interesting queries to get you started here:

> On average, governments in countries such as Germany and Norway tend to be more critical and transparent of their own actions while others may try to swipe the issue under the rug of inflate numbers when they deem appropriate.

Great point. Yeah I can see that happening.
I don't like the term 'bad hire' as it grossly simplifies things. I think some companies are better off letting in some types of bad hires to acquire the rock star introverts(some of my best performing co-workers would fail miserably at modern interviews). I'm not saying that hiring a sociopath won't kill your team's productivity. I'm saying hiring someone who doesn't know algorithms won't necessarily kill your team. There is probably grunt work you could pass on to them and actually figure out how to make them work. I don't agree with this modern approach to having a moat around your devs in all cases. The reality is more nuanced
That's because TB has length restrictions slower USB protocols do not.

Don't forget higher power PD cables (it can go up to 100 W!) should have higher gauge wires as well.
And none of this is particular to Google, either. There's other top-tier employers with similarly high salaries and talent. YOE at these kinds of employers is just not straight-across comparable to other employers, hence the baseball analogy. I know, I've worked at both kinds of companies -- the people at Big N companies are getting paid more for a reason.
Oh sure. Small nimble government is a choice, and there are people like yourself who feel agile is best. I personally prefer a big ponderous government at the national level. It's a preference. When you have 300 million people, I appreciate the government working more like an Ent-moot.
Multiple serial connections in parallel.
Same attitude as you. I wouldn't dare ask my parents for financial help, they've done enough.

I had a coworker whose parents paid for his college. They were low income gov't workers. He gets a good degree and starts raking in the cash and spending like no tomorrow. How could you possible do that and still look your parents in the eye?
The federal government would probably opt to tax that redistribution as income - that's what it is, after all.
This is not a realistic expectation, unless you are OK with your "one cable" being 0.5m long. The "one-cable" thing is a dream, unfortunately.
It claims to be for modeling not CAD. Think Blender not Solidworks.

So ultimately yes, it's for pretty pictures.
Yes, it matters enough that you should pretty much ignore any skid calculator without a weight component. Consumer reports even put together a list on which cars have the best "safety performance" that measured things like braking distance; the SUVs rank pretty hilariously

I worked on a software project for 10 years where we did this, with 5-25 developers in the rotation over time (we grew). It was unpopular with many of them, but I loved it, and found it incredibly valuable. Even the people who thought it was useful learned valuable context they didn't realize they learned (e.g., how helpful our own documentation was when they needed it).
Don’t you give out fines for late returns (or theft)
> Public policy shouldn’t accommodate that. Government shouldn’t send the message that disengagement with the rest of society is nothing more than a personal choice.

I take the implication of this statement to mean the only way to engage with society is to sell your labor. I find problems with that.

Also, as many other posters have pointed out on many other articles related to guaranteed income policies - what people aren't talking about (because they're too tied up in the fact that humans are either [a]only worth what they work for or [b] have value inherently that needs to be decoupled from selling your living hours) is that none of this navel gazing 'no freeloaders' bullshit means nothing in the face of the amount of automation we will see in the next 20 years.

Why aren't we talking about that as a society? Because that will be a ton of people who are very willing to work but are unable. That article touches on this, but only very briefly.
Definitely.

Like, there's no such thing as a gun accident. If someone ever accidentally gets shot, it means someone wasn't following one of the prime rules of gun safety.
Not necessarily, it just has to not preclude a de facto standard solution. And it doesn't. The scheme described by OP above sounds fairly sane without compromising the overall security of the system (in the way that e.g, password reset forms and security questions do).
What kind of BS phone is that? Pixels support USB-PD which is something I'd say should be mandatory if you have a USB-C port. I can charge other phones, charge from other phones, charge my Nintendo Switch, charge from my PC, etc.

That they gave you the USB-A to USB-C cable as your go-to cable is a red flag that they are peddling the connector as a marketing bullet point.
It's a data point you should consider, particularly if baby sitting, nannies, etc. are very expensive in your area.

People underestimate how much help one needs in raising kids because a few decades ago the mom would either not work or work an easier/part time job. This still happens in rural or semi rural areas in the US.

Nowadays in the city both parents are in 8-9 hour day high intensity jobs. You may have time for your kid, but you have less energy.
Unfortunately at() is not idiomatic C++. If you don't have tools to automatically prevent idiomatic unsafe C++ features ([], pointer arithmetic) from being used, developers are surely going to use them.
These are great examples of how Capital survives PR disasters, and the implosion of one legally defined corporate body is as irrelevant to tracing the consolidation of economic power as a change of clothes is to the tracking of an cheating spouse: colorful circumstantial evidence of their treachery, but a distraction from the bigger picture.
I've seen those usb 2.0 display adapters and I never used one but I heard that they had low refresh rates and/or low resolution, due to the 5 volt limits.

I admittedly do not know this. I just replied to another person who provided a source which asserts that Korea is the worst country for equality. Which if true would explain why Korea has a large wage gap.

I'm not defending this at all however. I'm perfectly happy to believe that South Korea is worse than Saudi Arabia toward treatment of women.
What is amusing is the people who do not work and who suck up the most from those of us who do - the heirs, the Phillips Exeter Dalton aristocracy - are also the people responsible for those Wall Street Journal and BusinessWeek articles when "unemployment becomes too low". They shift policies to drive up unemployment then bemoan the moral failings of the unemployed from their ski lofts in Aspen.

The Soviet Union eliminated these classes of parasites like the Romanovs and kulaks, the day will come when these parasites will be eliminated as a class in the USA too.

The entire article is built on the dual assumptions that (a) most people would willingly choose to spend their lives not doing anything if given free money and (b) requiring people to maintain a full-time-employement-like lifestyle while on whatever limited money they can get from welfare and unemployment is not a burden. I disagree with both.
I meant "he" as in "the poster", not the figures you decided to summon.
Here is some data from the U.S. National Center for Education Statistics:

https://nces.ed.gov/programs/digest/d18/tables/dt18_318.30.a...

In 2017 there were 133,761 Bachelor's degrees conferred in Engineering, 20% of which were conferred to women.

Computers: 71,420 degrees, 19% women

Math: 24,073 degrees, 42% women

Physical sciences: 31,268 degrees, 40% women
I think you are asking the wrong questions. Why not ask: Why are there so many men in tech?

To answer that I would compare it to a field like finance, where people are well paid and over worked. I think the money comes first, then the men, and with them the bro culture. So my hunch is that men will disproportionately do anything for a dollar. And no-one notices because they are busy wondering where the women are.
* Extract RNA

* Reverse-transcribe this into DNA

* PCR amplify target sequence using custom primers. Generally you design the primers to create restriction sites flaking the sequence of interest.

* Restriction digest the amplicons

* Pop that into a cloning vector, e.g. Gateway

* Clone and isolate a colony

* Sanger sequence to confirm you've got what you want

* Move construct into expression vector

* Transform yeast with expression vector construct

* Sequence some colonies to find one that worked well (these vectors use resistance genes to provide an easy screening process)

* Once you've confirmed it worked, you're all set.

You can just use plasmids or do a stable transformation; the latter is harder but it's what you'd want for commercial production I think.
Essentially, yes. I find it implausible the PMs have a deep enough understanding of a product to be able to elicit technical requirements in the beginning without proof from a prototype or UX research. I personally prefer a Lean UX or Just in Time process where understanding, design, and build develop in smaller increments.
