She asks why her husband gets more of a response (a sign of the racism she is facing).

- Her linkedin doesn't show what her major was as an undergrad.

- After 4 years of working she was a powerlifting coach.

- Then boom, in 2017/2018 she is an owner of two gyms and in 2019 she is trying to get benchmark to invest in her app.

Her Husband:

Google Engineer

Masters in CS from Berkeley / Undergrad in CS

Started companies and managed employees.

15 years experience - 40 apps developed. Top 10 apps

Multiple successful exists (to zynga then another one to google).

Talking about being successful as a gym owner etc she says folks can assume its because black folks were helped out.

"They assume it’s because they’re somehow lucky or exceptional or that they gained success because of help from white people. This—of course—isn’t true, but it’s an idea that continues to spread, sending the message that Black professionals require help from white people to build their careers."

"We need to put an end to the lie that Black people are still in need of white folks’ help,” she continues. “What we need is the freedom to live, work, and act without white people and white institutions disproportionately targeting us and stopping us from building the success we are already capable of building on our own."

So it's a bit of a confusing set of messages.
Man this is really, really good stuff! In a few test searches, you beat Google.

I tried this search on Runnaroo and Google:

"black muscular guy in 99"

(I meant to search for Terry Crews from Brooklyn 99).

Google just showed me some random Pinterest page as the 1st result, followed by results from YouTube, Facebook, and Google Books.

But on Runnaroo, Terry Crews was the result in the right sidebar. It was also the 3rd result.

This is the first time a search engine has excited me in years. Very impressed.

I'd teach, probably high school math and computer science. But I'm not doing it now because it'd mean a substantial pay cut (> 50%), and I'm no longer single (married, planning to have kids soon) so the financial requirements for me are higher than they were a few years ago. In 10 years or so I should have the house paid off, and other savings that will make the pay cut more palatable (I'll also be closer to retirement age, when my pension and other retirement options from past work will kick in that would make up most of the difference).

Of course she isn't, but that's the point. Black women are extremely underrepresented, hired and funded.

You can't say "well we're not going to fund you without a good track record, even though it's damn near impossible for you to build a track record because we won't fund or hire you. Good luck".

You can't say "we're going to fund more black founders, but only those who've already been proven a safe, reliable commodity."
Also consider that juniors are all bright eyed and full of optimism and certainly tend to idealize things at first.

Then experience, hardships, victories and org politics teaches them the 'real' game and hopefully they use that experience to their advantage. You become a cautious optimist. And not a cynical ol' grumpy bastard like me.
On a side note, I switched from Play to Spotify in the last month because they kept trying to push me towards YT Music. The mobile app for YT Music is pretty trash, and the less Google I have in my life the better. Not to mention I was still getting ads on YT even though I had premium, I think the no-ads deal is for music videos only, not other YT videos.

The nature of VC being what it is, it's extremely difficult to prove racism at the level of proof that most HN readers seem to need. 99.99% of all startup ideas are bad, 99.99% of all apps are terrible, so how can we know if she was rejected for being black, or for just being another supplicant denied by the VC gods?

The email thing is the strongest evidence she provides, but obviously, a doubting mind can find other reasons that her husbands email would get responses but hers wouldn't.

We do know, however, that African Americans are greatly under represented in tech, in startups and in VC. There are many interlocking reasons for this, and its not unreasonable to expect that racism, whether conscious or unconscious, is one of them. (Why should tech, uniquely in American society, be immune from racism?). Because there are so many interlocking reasons, it's easy for each individual link in the chain of tech to deflect blame to the other links (business can blame the pipeline, colleges can blame the high schools, high schools can blame the financial structures etc etc etc).

So, is it reasonable to expect individual VCs to make a stand against racism instead of doing what comes naturally to them? (trying desperately to make money). Not really!

However, I do think it's reasonable to expect, that VC's who make big pronouncements about what their firm is going to do to combat racism should be expected to follow through with it! And guess what, given all the interlocking problems that prevent black people from founding companies, VC's probably aren't going to be able to follow through on that mission by relying on business as usual of warm intros only, five minute pitch reviews, blow off emails.

Just level with us. We are all adults. Just say, I'm not actually that interested in explicitly helping black founders, I just want to keep trying to make money the way I've been doing it. Conversely, if you do give juicy quotes to the press, then be prepared to walk the walk.

I come from a strong family culture (dozens of cousins, off-spring, good communication, >95% stable long-lasting marriages, etc.), and we were taught that there is no perfect match. Love isn’t a feeling, it is an act of the will for the good of the other.

Ergo, it’s your job to make the relationship work.

Note that the code GCC generates for reductions (dot product, anyhow) will not be scalar with an option like -Ofast. That enables loop vectorization but also use of non-standard-conforming SIMD for the non-associative operations. It likely does as well as simple use of intrinsics. Level 1 operations are only worth worrying about much with small arrays, as they're ultimately memory-bound.

It's easy to fall into since it's usually what's expected day-to-day. Not that many people have a chance to dive really deep into a topic at most companies. Usually you're churning out fairly similar stuff for most of your tickets. It's also dangerous for your career if you pick your specialization wrong. Maybe 5 or 10 years later that technology is obsolete. Earlier in my career I was something of a (Adobe) Flash expert but there's no way I would even mention that these days. Much of it translates to other technologies but not in a way that makes me an expert in them.
I'm really surprised to see how many people appreciate this feature. I've tried to use it many times but I've found that when I'm watching a video I either want to give it my full(screen) attention (movie, entertainment) or have it in the background entirely (music, news, podcast.)
I've personally not found a use for it and end up closing it after about 5-10 minutes.

My opinion is between these. A single binary is easier, and the java app deployment could be made better than it is now.

Currently I make an 'uberjar' that includes all java dependencies including Tomcat/Jetty/etc: java -jar my-app.jar

What's annoying is finding the desired JDK/JRE for each OS with the right license and manually installing it. Sometimes having to make some file fixes (e.g. OpenJ9 JDK & Maven compatibility).

I am interested in how dating apps are changing humanity. Starting with three assumptions:

1. Over several generations of successful partnering, Human cognition has become really good at estimating someone's "rank" as a potential mate (in the stable marriage problem sense).

2. Language, modern UX design schemes and dating apps do not have sufficient bandwidth to communicate all the signals needed to "rank" a potential mate.

3. Dating apps present the lowest bandwidth signals first (photograph, age, height etc) and expand out to higher bandwidth signals after an initial screening (Language, communication, cultural similarity etc in messages).

Putting these ideas together, it's possible that dating apps will reward an entire generation for optimizing for those narrow range of signals that work well on dating apps (and not reward investing into developing a well rounded personality). I would think that being good at Instagram, TikTok and Photoshop might almost become evolutionary advantages for today's 14 year olds as they grow older and start seeking partners.

How will this change our society after 5-6 generations of descendants who all found partners on dating apps? Should schools begin to teach 8 year olds how to photoshop away their bad hair days because one day it will become an essential skill to being successful at one of the most important human experiences?
Does it lead to the same conclusion though. At the end of the day, do you believe that the lack of minorities and women in tech is justified?

If so, that only supports allegations of racism and sexism in the tech industry.
This might not be possible. (“Myth of egalitarianism”)
shopgoodwill has a weird way of doing shipping and handling. I'm assuming that is not included in these results, because I didn't see it mentioned.

The last time I used the site many of the stores would set high handling prices, which basically acted as a starting bid. I did notice that some stores started to lower their handling price, if that caught on it could account for some of the changes. The handling price is directly related to how much people are willing to bid on a price. Shipping is also be a factor, but would be harder to gather the data as it is based on the destination.
Woof yeah good point, that is a true bummer :(

The differences are the following:

* Nonfree software is generally demarcated as such. There is nonfree software that has available source (in the case of some codecs), other that comes as blobs.

* The Chromium package is open source, and in most distros comes as binary built from the toolchain set up by the package maintainers. In all free software distros if you don't want to download the binary, you can download the source and build locally with the provided build scripts (in the case of most APT packages in Debian/ubuntu).

* Serving Chromium binaries with Snap removes the option of downloading, inspecting, and running the build chain locally

* Serving a different version of Chromium, or replacing the stock version with a different variety, cannot be done without creating a new Snap repository. Downstream distros like Mint need to replace some of the stock Ubuntu stuff, just like Ubuntu changes stock Debian packages

* Because there is no open source Snap repository software, Mint is unable to set up an alternative repo that could work around some of the objections they have with Ubuntu.

Ah, so they meant they're only going to invest in and help black founders who've already had some other VC take a chance on and are safe investments.

Got it. Someone else needs to actually "venture" and take a risk. You'll just sit back and tweet about how you'd love to help, but your LPs say it's too risky.

Originally you said audit, hold, modify.

You can audit snaps just as you can audit third party apt repositories. Either the publisher ships the source such that you can rebuild, or they don't.

You can hold snaps using this method: https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/disabling-automatic-refresh-for...

You can modify snaps just as you can modify what you get from a third party apt repository. Either the publisher ships the source such that you can modify and rebuild, or they don't.

A long time ago, I wrote the PIP feature for browsers on the very first version of Android based Smart TVs (Phillips TVs). It used Mozilla's Gecko NPAPI plugin ( their version of WebKit) and built on top of Opera, the only one at the time that would support funnelling broadcast TV data at the time.
It was pretty challenging, but still way more easier than trying to build with Safari, chrome. I always wondered why this feature never really became mainstream until now.
I'll chime in with my experience. I married a partner who gave me a strong sense of trust and we now have a child together and are a happy family. We are not very compatible in the sense that we have different mindsets and personalities but share values. We both agreed that rather than trying to change each other we should strive to complete each other instead. It is hard work, but I have the sense that marriage is never easy.
Previous to meeting each other I dated a bit more than she did. I did the online dating and it did not work at for my personality. We ended up being introduced by a common friend.

Edit: I think it may be relevant to the discussion. Im in my early 40s and she's in her late 30s so marrying was bound to happen at some point around this age.
Ask HN: How can I gain more control over how much I work?
I have 12 years experience writing software. The first half of that was at big data startup working with distributed systems using C++ and python. The second half has been more conventional full-stack development. That would be node / react / angular / backbone, etc. I was recently a part of a team upgrading a legacy system to a modern web application.

I do enjoy my job and software in general, but there are a lot of other things I'd like to do in life and having a full-time job makes that difficult. Here are some options I've considered and my thoughts about them.

1) Contract work: I live in NYC. From what I gather online, most contract opportunities are actually just a way for companies to put you on probation for a year before hiring you. I would happily work for 6 months to a year to then be able to take 1-3 months off. I can't help but wonder if there aren't speciality developers work shorter contracts that aren't just glorified probation. Am I missing something here?

2) Part-time work: Another option I'd considered would be part-time work. If I worked two to three days a week I think I would have enough time. But I really don't see this anywhere. Have any of you guys negotiated a full-time down to part-time?

3) Freelance work: This might be ideal. Given a large enough rainy-day fund and a stream of work I could take time off between projects. I also am attracted to the challenge as well. But I don't know how to find work. And the work that I see on upwork, etc. seems to be simple websites that others can do more cheaply. Where can I find freelance work for my skills? I'd love the idea of working on a C++ codebase to fix some issue. Does anyone have any advice on what sort of work I ought to be looking for given my experience and where / how I should be looking? Cold-calling perhaps?

4) Something else? I feel like my motivation and end-goal are pretty obvious here. Is there some other way I can achieve my goal that I haven't been considering?

As far as I know, -webkit-font-smoothing doesn't change weight, it changes rasterization. What you describe in Photoshop also isn't weight, it's rasterization.[1]

See my post below. This is developer error from not understanding the font-weight implementation. The real answer is browser implementors use an algorithm to determine the nearest available weight. Succeeded standards, depending on how up-to-date the browser is in compliance, use slightly differing algorithms.

As a designer, you must specify exact weights, and understand what the keyword values translate to in the CSS standards. All other behavior is fallback.

That bar chart doesn't say anything to me about inter-demographic data. It looks confined to each demographic; i.e. women earn more degrees than men within each demographic, but that doesn't say anything about Black women vs. White men vs. Hispanic men vs. White women

In my opinion, Gobekli Tepe isn't interesting because it's suggestive of pre-agricultural sedentary societies. We know those existed a long, long time before recognizable domestication occurred and probably even before the LGM. Gobekli Tepe is interesting because it's clearly monumental a heck of a lot earlier than the traditional narrative thought was possible. Classically, archaeologists argued that monuments were a thing of "big, complex hierarchial societies with full agriculture". The modern counterexamples were dismissed as unrepresentative, anomalous, or "cultural transmission" (i.e. copy-cats). Newer generation folks, myself included, think it's a dumb dismissal and having sites to corroborate that is nice.

Unrelated, but there are species that were formerly cultivated by early foragers/farmers that got dropped over time. Rambling vetch is one example. There are some large preservation biases in what we're able to see of early sites. Grasses preserve best, so we've focused a bit too much on them relative to what was likely consumed.
