How can you say it would never work in the west when it did for many years? It certainly wasn't the workers who stopped it working.

I personally value stability and would prefer to stay in one place if it were more feasible. Training can be at all career stages, not just the beginning.

Japan, yeah, I don't want that. It's a unique beast with a lot of dysfunctions, both anecdotally from friends and all the stories online. I'd say the things you listed are outcomes from lingering cultural problems rather than causes.
They learned that being a lawyer earns you prestige and lots of money.

Compare that to computer science and being viewed as a geek, nerd, loner. Even though it's less bad at this day and age, it's not even comparable to medicine and law.

Equality of opportunity does not generate equality of outcome as soffits revealed on Scandinavia. And it shouldn't.

People are individuals and they should not need to conform to a flawed notion that everything should be 50/50
I'll look for English/Imperial formats when I can. I'd guess Dogfishhead 90 minute IPA qualifies as imperial and I prefer it to most.

I think the unspecified IPA you often find will be American. And jeesh, there far too many of them. Like the original cheap American lager form, it's OK 'till you've had far too much of it and then you never want it again.
Used all 3 for complicated things, preferred AWS for better overall security/compliance support and more features. Azure is largely comparable to AWS for most shops and some services can be slightly cheaper. GCP seems to be way behind both but I'm sure lots of places could get away with using them.

1. Azure basically has comparable cost reporting to Amazon, though has a cost aggregator if you want to use both Azure and AWS. I personally thought it didn't really bring all the nice features AWS billing had into Azure very well so I'd not recommend if your AWS usage is large and varied. I found GCP to have less features than either Azure or AWS for billing.

2. None of the 3 providers have a hard spending limit feature, though Google app engine service (not GCP) let's you shut it down. Other than that, permission roles are generally the same, AWS wins slightly on features again but Azure had a slightly nicer UI.

Anyways, you should do your own research on what cloud seems sane to you, and not let randos on HN make your business decisions.
No one is proposing we use floppy disks.

Redundant, shared servers ARE a forever solution. Making sure your data is one one of the ones that makes it seems like a vastly easier proposition to me than writing data to clay tablets and trying to keep those from ending up in a dump somewhere.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regents_of_the_Univ._of_Cal._v... established that affirmative action per se is legal in US under the Constitution and the federal law. What's illegal is hard quotas and other arrangements where the decision is made solely on the basis of e.g. race or gender - but it can be one of several deciding factors.

On state level, it depends on the state. Some have laws or constitutional amendments that prohibit affirmative action.
Thanks for that. This led to a great conversation with my coach about our next hire.
That's why they can cash out at 10% per year because they cases will last a -minimum- of 5-7 years. Google has the best lawyers in the world. Definitely a slow Homer recession into the bushes.
If you could showcase where women are born with DNA that leads them away from software related jobs, I would be very interested. Otherwise, "interested" is incredibly affected by environment and biases, which can be fixed, and should be.

Perhaps it was a pun?
On my home network, using dnscrypt-proxy, I keep a whitelist of top-level domains my devices have connected to. The few new domains to resolve are forwarded to a remote server and logged for periodic review, to update the whitelist or spot suspicious queries. So while it may not scale, it could be useful for spotting DNS C2C.
Doesn’t seem fixed to me. Also, it’s impossible to fix it in the current structure without JavaScript, because you need to either move the caret into the desired scrolling element (`getSelection().collapse(document.querySelector('.main'))`), or focus it (`document.querySelector('.main').focus()`, also requiring tabindex=-1 or similar on the element). From the presence of tabindex=1 on .main, I’m guessing you tried that one.

For a documentation thing like this, I’d generally recommend avoiding a separate scrolling pane for the primary content, but rather arranging so that it can use the document’s scrolling element. This gets the scrollbar in the place people generally expect it in web things, and makes it work regardless of whether the JS loads.
Is the listing restricted to open source software?
It does. I work remote and off hours, and my phone doesn't blow up to much, so I roll with it for now.
I always thought the entire cms space, the idea that non coders could manage web content, was a non starter just because of the editors.
Ahh, that's helpful, but the spot size is likely pretty small, so there is probably some work on how to make the transition from spot to spot seamless.
“cofounder” isn't “what you're doing now”; it's “what you did 20 years ago” but it's important because people put weight on what the founders say and think. “[large] shareholder” is sort of a role, and often goes together with “member of the board”.

Bill Gates is probably a good example to look to. He also stayed on the board (as chair) and remained a large shareholder, and was looked up to as the cofounder. So I'd imagine “like Bill Gates but with less active interest and involvement”.
> For example recursion, pointers, closures, and class hierarchies.
> My suspicion is that one or more of these concepts is more of a barrier for women than men.

Seems like quite a stretch, given that those are all concepts created by mathematics, which women have long excelled in - after all, women were the original "computers" before we had machines to automate calculations.

Add to that that the hard sciences like chemistry are full of women, and many of the concepts they involve dwarf the complexity of concepts like classes and pointers.

What changed for women between the time of early programming languages and C++/Java wasn't pointers and classes, but rather the culture of tech itself moved from academia to business, and big business had a heavy male bias.
They're talking about the American social construct of "Asians". Which is just like any other racial classification - it is a meaningful division solely because people make it real by discriminating along those lines.

The hyperscalers all have lots of idle compute, I'm not sure how many cores they have, but I believe the big three cloud services operate on the order of millions of servers, most of which have tens of cores now. If a 1024 bit key is proportionally more complex to solve, it seems they could solve it with idle compute.

I don't think any of them would want the negative publicity that could arise.

Why would anyone in the fishing or mining industry want a lawyer with no knowledge of those industries, only knowledge of agriculture? It's my experience that a lawyer who doesn't have experience in a specific industry is pretty useless as they don't know the topics or the norms. My experience working with lawyers who know the video game industry has been vastly more positive than with those that don't

The iOS client regularly loses large swaths of messages, with no clue that they’re missing except a time gap. The only way to fix it is to log out and log back in. I imagine a large percent of users are just oblivious to the missing messages. Me and others have been hitting this bug for at least a year at this point, probably much longer. Is anyone at Slack aware of this? Missing messages should be a priority 1 bug for a tool advertised as a replacement for business email.

It's likely also because almost all of their applicants are in STEM fields, because that's what they specialize in. So essentially all their female applicants are already self-selected into the hard sciences.

I'm wondering if they don't have a different idea of training internally than you do...

When I was younger, my mother worked as a freight forwarder. After she'd been there for awhile, the company paid to send her for training and certification to work with hazardous materials. If I recall correctly, she signed a contract agreeing to repay the costs of the courses if she left the company before a certain period of time had passed.

Essentially, rather than hiring externally a freight forwarder who is already certified to handle dangerous goods, they identified their strongest existing employee without that certification and paid for them to learn what they needed for a more advanced position, with conditions to assure they recoup their investment. The way I read it, I thought the person you replied to was suggesting identifying existing employees with potential and paying to expand their skillsets for a different role, e.g. with bootcamps or MOOCs, not hiring fresh graduates for low pay.

Some patriarchal cultures can be curiously two-faced on women: there's a boatload of stereotypes that are attached to femininity, and they generally mirror the social conservative stereotypes in US... but if any particular woman can break through those stereotypes by succeeding in something that she is not "supposed to", that gets acknowledged by basically treating her as a man socially. It is still discriminatory as hell (e.g. social life gets complicated), but in terms of career and business success, that can mask some of the cultural misogyny.
I don't think so. We run a bunch of things in k8s / docker and you can achieve bare metal performance.

AWS Introducing Provisioned Concurrency for Lambda Functions
The fact that millions of people were able to read this message almost instantly after it was written, without knowing anything about the device it was written or the location it is coming from, shows it is possible to decouple specifics and adhere to open standards for all players involved. There is just no incentive to do that for what AWS provides. It is a cash cow, exactly because of how useful it is if you have this set of problems they solve.

I think AWS is basically a large SaaS that sells you solutions to problems you have at scale. I don't think the lock in is only in the effort to export data, the lock in is also that a company will use the same building blocks for every new project or new feature on existing projects because their current staff is already trained and new hires don't know how to do it without those services either.

So just like in the 90's nobody got fired for buying IBM, today nobody gets fired for using AWS, even though they don't have problems at the scale AWS is great at.

I doubt it is. You’re writing off all the self-taught coders. You’re also writing off all the non-coders.

Most companies seem to think they want a 10:1:1 ratio of engineers:designers:product managers, etc.

I think 3:3:3 would be better, and makes your issue go away.

But we have this worship of “engineering” as some sort of magical thing that happens in a vacuum and requires no cross-discipline input.

Meanwhile every tech company I’ve ever worked for is pathologically rewriting the same code over and over, bashing their heads against the same tech debt over and over, and regularly wasting millions of dollars Building The Wrong Thing.

Heck we should probably have 10:1 masseuses and 10:1 psychotherapists on staff. Productivity would strictly increase.
Why would you imagine that?

All the work involved in capturing the FDA demonstrates that the FDA is not a "mandatory BBB", if they really had no teeth there would be no need to devote all these resources to dupe/intimidate/capture them.
I have made no defense. IMO, bargaining on the axis of moral flexibility to maintain the convenience of using a service you regard as evil is explicit "toleration" of said evil.

I do agree that there is indeed a pipeline problem; however there is still much scope for improvement at workplaces. Notably, gender balance is not only skewed at the point of hiring; in fact, the skew gets worse and worse as one goes up through the ranks.
Ask HN: Did this customs agent attempt to plant contraband on me?
The incident:

I was preparing to board a flight from DFW to China for a 2 week vacation. I scanned my boarding pass and began walking towards the skybridge to board the plane and a customs agent stepped in front of me and asked if I was carrying more than $5,000 in cash on me, to which I responded "no". He then said "okay, we are doing a test today, you get to help us out with this test and can tell your friends about it won't that be cool?" and had me put on a jacket which looked roughly similar to the one I had on. I thought "okay, this is kinda weird but whatever I'll help you guys out".

I should mention this guy had a thick Russian accent/imperfect English, but his uniform looked legit. At no point did he mention participation was optional. He held onto my passport while I put on the jacket (over the jacket I was already wearing) and I proceeded to walk down the skybridge towards the plane, but he almost immediately stopped me and said "walk slowly". At the other end of the skybridge there were about 4 - 8 TSA agents and a sniffer dog. At this point I got skeptical of the situation and started feeling around the jacket expecting to find some sort of contraband, and ended up finding a brick-shaped lump of what I am guessing was either drugs, fake drugs or cash either in the jacket pocket or sewn into the jacket itself. I held up the lump inside the jacket and looked toward the agent with a 'wtf?' look on my face, to which he responded "it is currency".

At this point I became even more skeptical, took off the jacket and returned it to the agent and asked for my passport back. I then proceeded to board the plane without the jacket and the TSA agents reacted with a big "aaaahh man!" as if they really wanted me to board the plane with that jacket on.

This was my first time flying overseas, but I'm guessing this isn't standard procedure.

Has anyone experienced something similar to this? Did these guys attempt to plant drugs on me? What's going on here?
Very cool, since this is HN I would be nice to see what you're using to create this, is there a plugin system, roadmap, open source?

I think you're partly correct. Hops cover a multitude of sins. But another reason I think brewers use hops so extensively is that they're the ingredient that will get you the closest to something approximating terroir. New Zealand hops, for example, are really popular right now because they bring a new and interesting character to the table, unique to where they are grown.

This is a trend for AWS. The building blocks (S3, EBS, EC2, Lambda, Dynamo) are priced at cost + margin, and prices tend to improve.

The more niche/higher level services like kendra are priced based on the value to a medium to large company.

They don’t expect individual developers to use this, or build anything on top of it. They expect a partner or employee of the company to do a pilot on the developer pricing, then convert to the enterprise pricing.

It’s a somewhat annoying trend but imo Google Cloud is a much worse offender here, everything new from them seems to be on prem “call sales for pricing” aimed at the enterprise.

There is no plugin system currently, but something I'm open to! I think that could be a great way to let people make Adventurekeep into what they really want it to be.

I do have an internal roadmap. If there's broader interest, I could clean it up and make it a public Trello board.

The application is not currently open source. But that could change if I were to introduce something akin to a plugin system.

Thanks for the questions!

I am going to go out on a limb and guess that it is fairly obvious which political party in the United States takes regulatory issues seriously.

I think you might be greatly surprised by how much influence you personally can have on politics on a very practical level by interacting with politicians of said party in your district on a personal level.
I can remember this being done between my college dorms when Halo 2 came out. We were not able to play Xbox online but figured out we could play over LAN. Business hippies found an opportunity to spread the good word.

A friends brother also met someone online from “Amsterdam” around 2003 who would acquire some choice product if you sent him cash. Nothing was ever sent back...
1. Metaflow should best help when there is an element of collaboration - so small to medium team of data scientists. Collaborating with your self is also another scenario when Metaflow can be useful since it takes care of versioning and archiving various artifacts.

2. Keeping the language pythonic, without any additional need to learn a DSL has definitely been key to Metaflow's adoption internally. That said, this is something we are open to hearing back, esp. with this OSS launch.

3. Yes - definitely think so. Personally my favorite is the local prototyping experience part; when everything can fit in memory and is blazing fast.
There is an also an open issue for fast-data access, which you can upvote if interested in seeing it open-sourced.

> many people are bundling up everything as sexism, but that is a superset of bias

I consider sexism to be a subset of bias, so this is an interesting take. I do not think your example shows something as unbiased, because I consider the statement "We only hire men" to be biased.

> it only takes ONE PARTICLE of tremolite or actinolite to start you on the road to mesothelioma.

A completely unhelpful thing to say. Everything starts somewhere, there's nothing special about asbestos. 'It only takes ONE GAMMA RAY PARTICLE to start you on the road to terminal brain cancer' too, but does that mean you shouldn't live in Denver or ever take an airplane flight?
In the 'old days', the maxim was to leave your politics with your club. The gathering of like minded people used to be more common. Political parties, were actual goups of people who regularly met to discuss and push their ideas. Likewise, hundreds of other semi-formal groups pervaded the cities and towns. There was local and personal dialouge that could not take place at work, nor was it felt proper. The online happening changed that all. People felt like they could be part of more than one group, but still clung close tribal assosiation with it, even though their influence was no longer present. And here we are.
