>multiple studies find that pay rates between men and women varied by 5–6.6% or, women earning 94 cents to every dollar earned by their male counterparts. The remaining 6% of the gap has been speculated to originate from other unmeasured differences, a greater value placed on non-wage benefits, gender discrimination and a difference in willingness and/or skills to negotiate salaries.

>The extent to which discrimination plays a role in explaining gender wage disparities is somewhat difficult to quantify, due to a number of potentially confounding variables.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_pay_gap_in_the_United_S...

That seems to suggest that right now there's not enough evidence to suggest the POSSIBLE 5-6% gap is directly attributable to gender without accounting for other variables. This doesn't run COUNTER to what you said, but it also doesn't fully back you up.
Now that you've said it, I'm thinking, so we still have homeopathy and other stuff despite being the most advanced we've ever been.
So strange.

Like even with software there's a point where I tell folks "Look if we're not going to do this X far, it's not of any value to do it half way and claim we did anything here."

You'd think there would be some engineering standard where "No this isn't a legitimate review because we didn't do enough." and that might set off some alarms...
I'm also interested in this and have spent considerable time learning/practicing off-gridding. The key is finding good land in unincorporated areas with a permissive county code. There's a few good counties in California for this.

Some counties are more willing than others to grant variances for experimental communities.

It's feasible for the first time ever because of the opportunities for remote work, cheap PV, delivery of anything via amazon (yes, they'll deliver to places on dirt roads which is awesome - negates a need for a general store), etc. There's also an increased interest in being closer to nature and away from the city for a variety of health reasons apart from the considerable savings.
It is not equivalent, it is worse, because in the west people have a false sense of security.
yep. once upon a time the sources of information for Greenwald's stories on a particular three letter agency may have sought out the grey lady, but those days are long gone. the hit piece on him afterwards removed all doubt that the NYT is no longer carrying its pentagon papers legacy.

The seventeenth century was not doing great work in medicine. Poisons were still regularly administered, bleeding and emesis were common. By the end of the 18th century homeopathy was taking over, and the first controlled medical studies were yet to be formed.

Aside, there was tons of interesting stuff going on in the rest of the world at that time.
>It's absolute within softbank's right to act "antisocially" as long as no specific laws were broken.

I'm not disagreeing with that. Just as it is likely his right to act in a manner many find to be antisocial, it is my and everyone else's right to be disgusted by Adam Neumann and to shame him online in whatever (legal) fashion I feel like.

>It still doesn't matter for any of the people acting personally offended.

Since you seem to prefer concrete takes on things, consider that I'm not judging Adam on some abstract moral basis. His actions on a broad scale represent a set of behaviors that are at odds with a healthy society. He has harmed softbank, but he has also harmed the employees at We. There are people who left stable jobs to work for him who are now out of work, and many more who will soon join them.

This doesn't just apply to engineering fields either :D
On the one hand it's risk capital and this what happens to stupid investors who with the CEO are greedy --- without creating real value like Buffet, Intel, AMD, or other real companies. On the other hand this is why in the US people like Sanders, Warren, and AOC get taken seriously: asshole corporate people getting paid billions while workers are laid off and are taxed at higher rates than rich people with tax accountants and offshore accounts. WeWorks will lay off 2000 people, but as reported elsewhere, can't do that just yet because they can't come up with severance pay.
I work on the marketplace team—most of our software engineering roles are remote friendly, especially on the marketplace and transport teams. I recommend applying as we have a strong ratio of remote folks and can place you in teams where that’s well supported.

It's interestingly a holdover from that era, or not long after, when doctors were still trying to figure out how to cure even basic illnesses.
That is an interesting discussion.

Summary: the conundrum Google finds themselves in is they want all code run by the user in plain sight: signed by the developer and inspectable by their anti malware tools. It's not difficult to see why they want this.

The stand out counter example is Browsers downloading and running javascript, which is unseen by them, unsigned and worst of all for them utterly impossible to prevent entirely. So in Termux's case it's always going to be near impossible to block interpreted languages like python from running.

The interesting special case is what they called mmap(PROT_EXEC), possibly better called mmap(PROT_EXEC|PROT_WRITE). In other words, the ability to write and execute create code on the fly. JIT's can't work well without it, so without it Javascript is always going to run like a dog. But with it is is always possible to load an ELF binary yourself in user space, bypassing the kernel entirely. Termux could always replace the libc exec() with something that did it that way.

So it looks to me like this is all just re-arranging the deck chairs. Ultimately Google can't use technical measures to prevent any malicious app from running any code they damned well please. Their attempts to accomplish the impossible won't help the malware problem, but does make like difficult for innocent apps like termux.

As others have said this have said, this has nothing to do with Samsung killing Linux on Dex. Unlike Termux, they have to power to turn it all off.
These are great points as usual. To be clear, my assumptions are simply that there are not enough available resources where elder care will be cheap and children will not be bothered with their care. Sacrifices will need to be made (but that’s an internal discussion for each family to make), and plans should be made accordingly. Hope for the best, but plan for the worst. Japan is a glimpse of what the future looks like, and technology/startups didn’t fix their elder care issues. People just die old, alone, and forgotten.
When I worked at Discovery Channel I remember a call where the CEO admitted they have no idea what they're doing with regards to tech. Made my decision to leave seem smart looking back now that they've shut down Rev 3 (where I worked for a while) and the other division doing R&D. Was pretty frustrating to build stuff that would never see the light of day.

TLDR; execs that know something about tech is super important.

Disagree. It's much more wasteful to have an outage. Roll back asap, fix the issue, roll forward, do post mortem, grow as an organization. Never repeat the same mistake.
3 years ago, I made a simple calendar app in django, and I wanted to use Elasticsearch so users can search and find an event, and to use it to populate an upcoming events list. There's only about 10,000 events in the database.

I quickly realized what a pain it is to use Elasticsearch, for a simple app like mine.

Pain points:

1) You have to setup and recreate part of your database in elastic search. So you essentially end up with two databases. Which now you have to keep in sync.

2) I was getting unpredictable query results from Elasticsearch, which after a few days, and much head scratching turned out to be that I was running out of memory.

3) When a user added a new event, it was not being added to elastcsearch index automatically. I could not figure out how to do this reliably. I could make it work reliably only after a sync of the entire Elasticsearch index. But this meant that it was next to useless, to use for the Upcoming Events List.
Since I only wanted to sync the index once a day. Confusing the users, as to why their event was not showing up. And I gave up, and just ended up implementing the Upcoming Events List directly from my database in python.

4) Elasticsearch came without some security settings not set by default, and after a few months it was hacked.
I had to download a new version and wasted more time.

I still use Elasticsearch, but only for search, and not the upcoming event list. And I don't think it was worth the complexity that it added to my project.

I have been working on automating data entry, and the consequences of this is many people (in this case Indians) losing their jobs. I am facing a moral dilemma. I have been writing free software for my entire life, I volunteer, but I live in really poor conditions. I want to get forward somehow, and this seems to be my best chance of getting forward at this point in time and space. I am probably not going to go through with it. It seems to be the case that my principles, my moral values have been holding me back from improving my life. I do not want to lie to people, I do not want to deceive people, I do not want to fsck them over in any way. I do not want to contribute to anything nefarious. But from where I am (the bottom), it is extremely hard to climb up without doing that. :/
Without getting into that, on the bright side of this We does seem to have facilitated a fairly large-scale transfer of wealth from investors and landlords to contractors and people renting short-term office space.

Understanding Code Translation and Types
One interesting property of LEDs compared to many other lighting technologies is that they can be turned on and off very quickly.

Suppose you made all your LED lights so that they alternated 2.08333 ms on, 2.08333 ms off. That's a 240 Hz flicker rate, which should be high enough that it won't bother people.

Further, suppose you synchronized the flicker of all the lights in a city so that they were all on at the same time, and all off at the same time.

Finally, suppose you made some goggles that had a shutter system opened for 1.5625 ms out of every 4.16667 ms, and synchronized it with the LED flickering so that the shutter opens 0.520833 ms after the LEDs start their off phase. The shutter will then be closing just as the LEDs turn on.

By the time the shutter opens, the LEDs will have been off for 0.520833 ms. Light travels 156 km in that time, so the last light from the on phase of all LEDs within 156 km of the goggles will have already reached the goggles by the time the shutter opens.

Question: would this effectively make the LEDs invisible to you through the goggles, while letting you see non-LED sources such as stars with no interference other than the 62.5% of their light you are losing during the times when the shutter is closed?

One problem I can see (no pun intended) is that many LED lights actually use a bulb coated with phosphors, and the LED in the bulb is used to excite the phosphors which then glow giving off the light that we see. I'm not sure how quickly the phosphor stops glowing when the driving LED turns off.
A few selcted excerpts:

"In simpler CPUs, these architectural registers correspond one-for-one to the entries in a physical register file (PRF) within the CPU. More complicated CPUs use register renaming, so that the mapping of which physical entry stores a particular architectural register changes dynamically during execution.[1]"

"The Alpha 21264 (EV6), for instance, was the first large micro-architecture to implement "Shadow Register File Architecture". It had two copies of the integer register file and two copies of floating point register that locate in its front end (future and scaled file, each contain 2 read and 2 write port), and took an extra cycle to propagate data between the two during context switch. The issue logic attempted to reduce the number of operations forwarding data between the two and greatly improved its integer performance and help reduce the impact of limited number of GPR in superscalar and speculative execution. The design was later adapted by SPARC, MIPS and some later x86 implementation."

Both of these are frontend only feature previews however, they assume an available backend to connect to the frontend code. My tool (Stagehand) will preview the entire stack, provided you can run your setup in Docker. Considering the last three places I've worked all used Docker Compose to run the local development environment and Docker in the CI pipeline, it was a no brainer to use it for the previews as well.

My main differentiator, aside from running the full stack, you can also run supporting services alongside the preview. In our case, we run an emulated S3 endpoint and a tool to catch outgoing mail (it poses as an SMTP server). This means that if you're testing a piece of functionality that uploads to S3, you can easily complete the action then change to the S3 emulator and see the file is uploaded to the correct place. Likewise with the email catcher, it makes it really easy to see invite emails being sent out, or welcome emails after signup.

Other examples might include a frontend to your database, e.g. PGAdmin, so you could directly change the database in the preview then test the result.

The original use case was so that I could easily share my work with others in my 9 - 5 job. However, as I've taken more responsibility over the team here I'm using it more for testing others work before it gets merged to master.
