> The thing I hate most about Apple's updates is that if you say "try again in an hour", rather than prompting you if you want to update again, it just starts the update!

I appreciate you bringing this up. It happened to me a few times, and I was wondering if I was going crazy, or if it had really just lied to me like that. Glad to know I'm not crazy.
Disparate impact of results is NOT proof of racism. People are complicated - and some racial correlations are perfectly valid - at least until enough members of a racial group decide to change them...
The Unwelcomed Story
People (not just men) choose differently because they have different preferences and they are free to follow those preferences.

Saying the wage gap is because of "gender roles" is no answer at all - it suggests you should target the pay scale.

Multi-variable analysis is an attempt to piece out the answer. If the wage gap is $10, and the multi-variable analysis shows it is $2 education, $3 experience, and $5 career choice, then you can investigate why those factors differ, including possible effects of gender roles, without the specter of "gender discrimination in pay".

> Starting point: how do we better make care work less gendered and pay appropriately?

As with everything, either reduce the supply or increase the demand. As long as there is a sufficient supply of people willing and able to provide the service for a low price, the price will be low.

Remember that "price" is not a direct measure of "value". Air, water, and the first 1000 calories per day are incredibly valuable, but they are very inexpensive because there is excess supply.

For what it's worth, limiting supply and providing government subsidies is a great way to make things cost more - health care and the university education are prime examples. Note that these should be viewed as cautionary examples, not recommendations.
Maryland real-estate firm hands out $10M in bonuses to employees

Edit: above was paywalled, and I didn't realize I was trial-viewing it. Think this is free for all:

They were only questionably enforceable before too, since they still amounted to a contract restriction limiting someone's employment opportunities (in this case, the person being recruited).

While CA does codify non-competes (and now non-solicits) are void, general interpretation was that any restrictive contract clause wasn't going to fly in court except under very specific circumstances. CA takes a very dim view of restricting job mobility.

Ethically, totally slack if he recruited while still employed, of course, and if he literally did it at work I suspect he'll run into a "using company resources (time, building, hipchat channel, etc)" issue, which is one of the things that severely weakens a defense that whatever you do yourself, you still own.

No idea how or if that applies at a high-level action like starting a company, but if he had any technical contribution I could definitely see it coming up.

This is frequently repeated but rarely with supporting data. Programming work during the 70s and 80s, during which women's representation in programming reached its peak, was well paid. According to the BLS entry level salaries were $20k for the lowest level of "computer programmer" and $40k for the highest. Entry level "systems analyst" is listed with $28k salary [1]. The current BLS statistics for computer programmers does not break down by seniority, but lists an average annual income of $90k [2]. Adjusted for inflation, and the salaries are pretty similar. In Silicon Valley, entry level salaries above $100k are common but this is not replicated nation wide.

I'm not a lawyer but generally boobytraps are illegal. You can't set up a device to damage someone if they commit a crime. Banks can get away with it because their dye packs are handed out to criminals with the crime in progress, they're not just left around for someone to accidentally stumble on to.

Look at it this way: a child confuses your car with the car of their parents, find that you accidentally left it unlocked, picked up what they thought was their Apple device so they could watch Peppa Pig, and the dye pack goes off. A 400F firebomb is now sitting in the hands of this non-criminal child, with aerosol being sprayed into the enclosed car they find themselves in.

Again, I'm not a lawyer... but boobytraps are illegal for a reason.

I'm assuming this is unrelated to the Kong API Gateway https://konghq.com/kong/
Another contributor here. This is one of the novel advancements made by Kong.

Specifically, Kong notes use a secure element which 1) self-generates a key pair 2) can attest the key pair was self-generated and 3) does not leak the private portion of that key pair. Section 2 of the paper (specifically 2.2) goes into more detail[1].

Another thing that seems overlooked is that we don't just randomly happen to look at objects from weird angles. If you're looking at a chair from that weird top-down angle, probably you walked to it previously and expect to see it like that. And you feel the direction of gravity in your ear, so you feel your viewpoint. The object itself may still be in a random orientation, but then just moving your head around a bit or turning the object clears up any confusion.

We do heavily rely on context.
I want a law that would make Facebook liable for the actions of their staff. The goal of such a law would push the company to implement measures to make individual bad actors have very little power to do bad things. In this case, simply having a requirement that several independent people (maybe in different offices) review a case before unbanning an account wouldn't be completely unreasonable.
Yes, they look like a bunch of circuit boards under X-Ray, it's pretty cool. We've travelled with "unloaded" Kong thus far (i.e. not backed by token). See section 4.1 on minting in the paper.

Even so, we're unaware of any value to the Kong token independent from Kong notes and we are not taking steps to list it on exchanges. If Kong was to become a means of exchange somewhere then it might need to be declared as a monetary instrument depending on the jurisdiction.
>otherwise honest people are gonna engage in opportunistic crime because "if I don't someone will"

I mean I don't live in a high crime area so maybe I'm missing something, but that doesn't sound like the behavior of an "otherwise honest person".
>corporations lobbied to make benefits (specifically healthcare) tied to employment

Unions probably did that more than management given that at least some of it was driven by wage and price controls during certain periods. Though that's still corporations in some sense.
I'd really like to understand this deeper: are you sure your macbook was hibernating, even if it was closed? Are you sure the proximity advertisement came from the laptop? Usually it is the iPhone doing it.

I've seen that in airports and malls, more than 90% of the advertisements around are iPhones (Android doesn't do BtLe advertisement) and Windows computers (from the shops and stores). A small minority are beacons and wearables (iWatch, Fitbit, etc.) In libraries sometimes I can see Macbooks, but they all are non-hibernating.

I'm a bit confused. Why are you going back a third time then?
Sure, but the facebook app doesn't do that (or at least no security researchers have noticed it doing that). The point facebook is making is that if they had a backdoor that let them read the messages that it could be used for other purposes.

Consider that right now to intercept end2end encrypted messages (and lets just assume facebook has that) a malicious actor has to get physical possession of your device, which implies that you have to be specifically targeted. With a backdoor malicious actors would then be able to target many other things, including for example facebook's servers, to access those messages (and all of them at once). I think simply avoiding the bad PR of "hackers downloaded everyone's messages between 2017 and now" is most of why they want this stuff end to end encrypted.
SROs don't have to use communal bathrooms. A family member lives in what's classified as an SRO, but in the ritzy Cow Hollow neighborhood. It's a tiny unit but has its own bathroom, including shower, and a very tiny kitchenette (sink, no stove). It's probably smaller than most of the more modern SRO'ish units that have recently been built around SOMA, even though some of those rely on communal spaces.

Other than the size of the units, it's a typical apartment building--office workers, teachers, retail workers, and even a dentist with a house in Marin who keeps a unit so he doesn't have to commute during weekdays. It was probably built in the 1940s or 1950s, before zoning laws stopped construction of such buildings.

The most recent Startup School cohort rotated the people in weekly meetings so you had different people in each meeting. Some were pretty average but some were great.

I agree that the forums are worse-than-useless. They were mostly about "try my app" with no replies, or endless arguments between people who were setting up an "unofficial Startup School Slack" and and "unofficial Startup School Discord".

If there is one thing they should do this year differently it would be start an official Slack (and yes it should be Slack) for people who want it.
Nothing anymore- I became disillusioned with modern scientific research, especially biology, because I believe that most of what is published is simply false or wrong (it's much harder to publish false crap in experimental physics because everybody knows more math, is better at analyzing experiment design, and the systems are "simpler"). Now I work on software engineering related to neural network performance (focusing on things that have worked well for years).

That said, things I've worked on include: classifiers to identify genes in DNA, molecular dynamics simulations of proteins and nucleic acids, methods to discover new drugs, analysis of protein function from an evolutionary perspective, protein design.

"On the dedicated research days when I dare to wear jeans, boots, and a fleece, when I can masquerade as anything but a doctor as I make my way to my office for a day of writing, I can truly hide in plain sight.

I watch the way no one makes space for me in the hall and contrast it with the small but impregnable berth my white coat typically provides. I watch the way that students and residents continue their beelines in my direction, assuming I will be the one who swerves when the time comes. I watch the way security guards try to hustle me along if they perceive me to be in the way of a patient they are escorting..."

Literature from twin studies would like to disagree with you. Most people overestimate the effect of parenting and underestimate the effect of genetics in determining child success. Genetics is more than 50% of the game.

As for the other 50%, the absence of parenting is bad for a child, since much of development is based on receiving adequate amounts of care and nutrition. However, this amount is satisfiable by engaged parents interacting with kids after work. The relationship between outcomes and sheer volume of hours of care provided by the mother is only weakly correlated after a certain threshold.

tl;dr: Daycare is fine for your kid, don't overthink it. If you're the kind of person who worries about this sort of thing, you're already ahead of the game.

The service was grown to over 60 million users back in ~2012 and got aquired by Autodesk. After some years most, if not all people working with the product was reassigned and or left. Still with millions of weekly users but no one that cared.

Autodesk sold it for near to nothing and the new owners contacted me (org founder) and asked me if I wanted to get involved somehow. So we build a new product from scratch since the original app was 100% Flash and we are just month away from a completely browser block :)
I love this tool.

For people who want to render asciicast to SVG, I can highly recommend svg-term-cli[1].

Yeah most migration tools work this way, although refinery doesn't.

My preferred alternative to reconstructing prod from a historical chain of changes is to compare the preferred state to the production state directly. In most cases you can generate the script you need completely automatically from a diff tool. Direct comparison also allows you to directly test that your changes have been applied correctly and that prod schema explicitly matches.

If it's possible to use rails migrations without an ORM that's great, although that's always going to be secondary to the ORM use case. Django migrations are extremely heavily coupled to the ORM, and it's almost impossible to use one without the other.
Possible these laws have a specific line about not being waiveable via contract, a la our renter protection laws. I seem to remember that might be the case for the non-compete, and I'd be surprised if the non-solicit voiding law wasn't the same.

However, I think the explicit codification also prevents that. AFAIK, once something is in state code as a requirement/prohibited/void action you can't personally waive that.
Yes, although it is mathematically the ‘best’ way of increasing your bank, it is more aggressive than most people would be comfortable.

I agree that the headline is sensationalized; something like "Chinese ambassador conditions trade agreement on Huawei contract" would be more descriptive.

That doesn't mean this kind of influence is acceptable; rigging the contractor selection process for a government project is classic corruption. If that's part of the job description of diplomats then I don't think it should be.

> One year, they had a particularly bad year (because markets were just bad), so while traders in some cases still got bonuses, nobody in the entire Technology Division (since they were seen as being more replaceable) got a bonus.

Not sure why you'd expect a bonus in a down year? That's the point of bonuses - they are not guaranteed, and you won't get them if the firm doesn't do well. Individual traders might still get them if their desk did well despite overall poor firm performance, but that cuts both ways - traders can get zeroed if their desk has a bad year even if the firm overall did well.

> For engineering, it works in reverse: Your options become less with time, not more. The determinant of any move you might make within the organization is not so much the opporunity around you doing something new, but the risk around you no longer continuing with what you leave behind.

This is an important lesson in any role: If you are indispensable in your current role, you can't move up. Don't make yourself indispensable. Cultivate a team, and help junior engineers on your team grow to take on tasks that you're currently responsible for. Don't take on solo projects that you're working on by yourself - they're a career dead-end for multiple reasons, and they're probably not even very valuable to the firm (otherwise they would have a team).

OK I thought someone had implemented Flash in WebGL.
SHARC has no such requirement. Having char and int the same size was not universal. The CPU vendor shipped such a compiler, but that was not the only compiler.

The CPU itself used 32-bit addresses to access machine words, the size of which was determined by what was being accessed. External memory was limited to 32-bit. Internal memory had regions that could be 32-bit, 40-bit, or 48-bit. An address increment of 1 would thus move by that many bits.

Mercury Computer Systems shipped a byte-oriented port of gcc. Pointers to char and short were rotated and XORed as needed to reduce incompatibility. Pointers to larger objects were in the hardware format. This allowed a high degree of compatibility with ordinary software while still running efficiently when working with the larger objects. There was also a 64-bit double, unlike the 32-bit one in the other compiler. Data structures were all compatible with PowerPC and i860, allowing heterogeneous shared memory multiprocessor systems.
