The headline is “Employers Used Facebook to Keep Women and Older Workers From Seeing Job Ads. The Federal Government Thinks That’s Illegal.“ On HN, that’s truncates to the first sentence, but “used” is in the past tense. The information you claim lost was just compressed into the grammar.

In contrast, one of the contemporaneous headlines was “Facebook Is Letting Job Advertisers Target Only Men” [1], i.e. in the present tense.

In the US, I’ve been hearing this point of view consistently amongst co-workers for almost two decades. But talk is cheap and if this was really something people wanted, especially the middle class, I imagine votes would go this way — in the US they do not.

He's probably arguing against generalization.

You know, "younger people learn faster than older people on average" might be true; but even if it is, it doesn't preclude "I learn faster than you even though I'm significantly older".

Ideally, if you need fast learners, you should hire & test for learning speed, not proxies like age.

I agree to the general idea that the government should try to do as little moral arbitration as possible. The concept of "separation of church and state" would be best modernized and secularized as the "separation of morality and state".

Interesting article, will be thinking about smell this week.

Anyone have more articles about honing sense of smell? I have wondered about making a 'calibration array' of esters with increasing lengths of carbon chains or something like that.

What are the receptors in our noses detecting? Do similar smells always imply chemical similarities? Can a trained nose eventually achieve something like "this smells like it has a 3 carbon chain hanging off the 4-position on an indole ring"?
We don’t care but when a crash occurs we collect diagnostic data that we think will help us narrow down the source of the crash. Sometimes a crash happens only on jailbroken devices in which case we usually don’t spend time on it.

These problems aren't unique to tags, they're already present in subreddits names. For the most part it doesn't seem to be a big deal. As long as you can see the number of subscribers to a certain tag when creating your post, stackexchange style, then you'll probably end up with the tags you intended most of the time.
A tangentially related question I've wonder for a while is:

What type of improvements can be made to L3/"L4"(I'm unsure if that is what intel calls crystalwell and its derivatives) to improve the latency such that access related penalties/IPC lose reach the same diminishing return point that 512KB of L1 provides to registers.

https://www.anandtech.com/show/14694/amd-rome-epyc-2nd-gen/7

It almost looks like AMD is doing just that. The first 4MB of L3 is almost as fast as L2. That said there seems to be quite a steep penalty for 8MB, and reaching 16MB is only a hair faster than going out to main memory. I translate that last concession as AMD not believe such an event will occur very often.

The penalty for values greater than 16MM is especially slow when one considers the added "hop" the Rome architecture has with regards to it's memory subsystem. Intel's offerings don't seem quite as hampered when working with larger sizes but do incur more of a penalty for using L3 at all. Perhaps someone with a CE/EE background could shed some light on the matter?
This article is very interesting. For some reason, somewhere down the line humans evolved to use smell as a way to decide if something is worth engaging with or not (Food, people etc) or to detect danger (smoke from a fire) but like the author said. There is a whole world of smells that are just interesting in themselves but humans never explore. I have never entertained the intricacies of a smell I stop at if it is good or bad.

I believe that a literal "Netflix for news" would never be accepted by news sites ("newspapers") due to how much it would take away control and ownership of the customer relation. In an earlier post to hn [0] I have described what I believe might work instead, a payment and co-subscription service offered to news outlets that isn't exposing any own branding to end users. Once you hand over your subscriptions to an aggregator brand, there is no turning back.

Three key assumptions are that

#1 consumers are unwilling to forget the "luniversal availability of the decades of ad-financed web

#2 consumers are unwilling to have more subscriptions than they had in the age of paper (exactly one, almost universally)

#3 the discrepancy between #1 and #2 makes consumers not pay at all unless "Netflix for news" or something equivalent is available

#4 news sites understand and accept the implications, particularly that giving away content to someone who already had a subscriptions elsewhere isn't a lossy sale, due to #2

Main challenges are defining and enforcing the content availability delta between "home" subscription and co-subscription and dealing with price differentials (perhaps by defining the co-subscription availability as a freely scalable ramp?)

Back in '08-'09 Forever 21 was my favorite clothing store. They had styles there that fit well, looked good, used comfortable fabric, and was relatively cheap. Given how the economy was doing at the time, it gave Forever 21 an advantage: clothes 2-3x cheaper and clothes quite a bit more enjoyable to wear.

But the fabric they used disintegrated on me, as woman's clothes tend to. (Men get thicker fabric, but at the expense of being less stretchy. Women like to show off their curves.) The problem with this being that no one else made the styles I enjoyed. It was a fad that came and went. It doesn't exist in thrift stores. I don't even know what to call it, so I can't find pictures in an image.google search. Forever 21 made products I liked, but then they switched and I (and my friends) couldn't find anything that came close since. The last time I bought clothes at Forever 21 was in 2010.

Since then H&M has caught on like wildfire taking over the market Forever 21 once had. They do a lot of the same, but their clothes are even cheaper (why?) and in my current wardrobe my favorite clothes have come from H&M. I'm afraid the same fate will come to H&M that has come to Forever 21. Or maybe H&M will learn from F21's mistakes. Only time will tell.

I guess that's debatable.

I would say that even humans who decided to become monsters (say, Unit 731, Mengele, Breivik, various serial killers, etc) deserve human rights and humane treatment in eyes of the law, because taking those away is a bad precedent for society.

The state should consider them people because the state has to consider everyone people, and making exceptions is very dangerous.

That doesn't mean we as individuals have to morally consider them as anything other than the monsters they are.

Hard disagree. Communities are about give and take, the early internet was driven by people hosting bulletin boards, IRC servers, web servers, etc. There are people out there still willing to be part of the solution if you give them the chance.

Bloomberg has loads of professional subscribers who either get the news bundled with their terminal subscription or pay for it separately. I get your general point but Bloomberg is not the best example of a medium sized publication that needs this.

An easy solution is to add a height transition:

.full-height {
min-height: 100vh;
transition: height 1000s steps(1);
}

This will let you maintain the initial height with the address bar excluded, and won't let it change when the bar disappears. Steps timing function is to avoid costly layout calculations.
> A refusal to actually track the state of the industry, instead being told by employers what matters.

Yeeees... so instead of being "told" by your employers, you're "told" by the hype-train? How exactly is this better?

Being fed up of the constant churn in JS frameworks is an entirely valid position.

Sure, maybe it only takes a month to learn the latest framework. Maybe it only takes a couple of weeks. But maybe I'd rather spend those 2 weeks doing something else that I consider to be more valuable (it's called opportunity cost).

And what about all the gotchas and quirks that every framework has? The pathological performance edge-cases, and suchlike? The ones you only discover after weeks and months of in-depth use? I'll have to learn a whole new set of those.

And what about my "legacy" codebase that used the last framework du jour. Do I just ignore it? Do I convert it? Hmm. Wonder how long that will take, and what else I could be doing with that time.

Maybe you enjoy the churn: endlessly learning useless knowledge that will be of no value to you in a few short years because it's no longer trendy. Lucky you. For me it got boring, because I've got stuff to build.
I object to the use of "dominated". In a herd, a "dominant" animal will actively work to keep others away from food sources and mating opportunities when those are scarce. This is not what this is.

Strictly my opinion: There are few women in software engineering because few women WANT to be in software engineering, period. ...and it's not a given that this is by definition a bad thing for them either.
Sure, but if we're going to have a list of fallacies to help people identify fallacious thinking (and use it as a blunt weapon in internet slagging matches) then we might as well include probabilistic fallacies in that list. They are basic mistakes in reasoning just as formal logic fallacies are. They can always be listed under their own category.

Anyway the calculus of probabilities is a logic. It's only for historical reasons that this is not more widely recognised (and its unfortunate association with statistics).

Edit: the website itself doesn't say anything about "formal fallacies", just "logical fallacies". Which seems to be used in an loose manner that should admit probabilistic fallacies in the set of "logic fallacies".

I've been trying to get 100% natural materials (cotton, wool, leather) and they seem more comfortable, less stuffy (especially for sleeping) but that might be a placebo.
I upvoted your comment because I think the reasoning reflects people's actual reasoning. That said, I don't think techy women can be described as metaphorically "poor" these days. Big tech firms are desperate for more women.

For women as a whole it's another issue, but very few are going to learn an entirely new skillset just because they saw an ad.
My understanding is that is has an advantage in concurrency domain. It also has a relatively unique 'hot patch' support but i'm not sure how valuable that actually is.

Why force businesses to waste money on advertising to and interviewing people they don't want to hire?

At the end of the day, some person will get a job. Why is it better if a woman or old person gets the job? Enforcing diversity hiring practices is not creating more jobs for anyone (except diversity advisors, granted). On the contrary, it increases the cost of doing business, which is likely to reduce demand for employees.
„Our brains are wired to notice big, red, unusual, and alarming signals, while ignoring more mundane, unclear, gradual and constant risks. Air pollution? We breathe all the time and we’re still here. It doesn’t end up on the brain’s ‘red list’ the same way. Wind and solar tech with rare earth minerals, mining waste, future landfills sites stuffed with problematic elements? These wastes are also toxic, but they just don’t ring our bells. Mining of rare earth minerals and the toxic waste left over from that process (which is also radioactive, by the way) is an actual dystopian wasteland -level disaster in Baotou, China, at this very moment, but this does not really get on our radar. Mining operations, in fact, all result in harmful consequences to the environment, and the volumes of materials needed are a major factor in that impact. Nuclear’s material requirements per energy produced, and thus its mining waste, are considerably much lower than most other energy forms.”

Preference for NAND and negative logic (ie. active low) do not stem from early CMOS, but from TTL. TTL NAND is same structure as invertor, only with multiple emitters on the input transistor. And with TTL significant current flows only in the low state, typical TTL gate sees undriven input as logic 1.

By the way for CMOS, NOR is somewhat counter-intuitively still preferable as the two series connected PMOS pull-up transistors can be collapsed into one dual-gate PMOS, which leads to more desirable gate geometry.

This is the reason why CMOS CD4000 is NOR (and without looking it up I don't even know what is the P/N of 4000-series 2-input NAND), while TTL SN7400 is NAND.

On the other hand in modern CMOS processes and particularly in CMOS VLSI design this distinction is mostly moot.

You're a Staff Engineer at Discord. This response is extremely vague and non-informative.

What does "running to much success" mean exactly? And why is it "safe to say you wouldn’t have chosen anything else" instead? Why could you not have achieved the same results using alternative tools?

By the way - you've mentioned "real time distributed systems". What exactly is your definition of "real time" here?
You could be right but I don't know. Let's look at some numbers. Wyoming is the least populated state with 577k people. Trump beat Clinton by a 46% margin in 2016. If you can find a population that is 80% likely to vote for Democrats you can shift the state to roughly even by bringing in about 330k people. Let's call it 400k to be safe. At $10k a move that would cost $4 billion. That gets you two Senate seats plus some house seats and EC votes for a fairly long time frame. What's the return on investment from other methods like get out the vote campaigns, etc?
One of the big differences between Erlang and Elixir is indeed that Elixir allows you to write macros in the language itself, using quote / unquote constructs just like lisps.

This makes it easy to generate code on compile time, which is then executed in runtime without any performance penalty.

A large part of Elixir itself is actually implemented as macros. For instance, the "unless" construct:

defmacro unless(condition, do: do_clause, else: else_clause) do
quote do
if(unquote(condition), do: unquote(else_clause), else: unquote(do_clause))
end
end

(code simplified for clarity)
Now, what if Republicans try to react by moving between states themselves to prevent Democrats from accomplishing their mission? Then, we have a kind of game-theoretical knapsack problem. I could imagine that generalizing and formalizing this scenario in detail would actually be a neat scientific contribution. Any comments that point to relevant publications on this are much appreciated.
