To quote another phrase, "there's no such thing as a free lunch".

Free-to-air TV is only "free" because the TV network is selling your eyes to someone else. Radio is only free because they're selling your ears to someone else. Even my own site "fivesecondtest.com" is only free because you help us do user testing which we can then charge other people for.

The point is, if there is money changing hands, and it isn't coming FROM you, then you can be sure someone is paying FOR you.
One, being a bit pedantic but exchange rate has nothing to do with the income gap. If I measure distances in feet and you in metres, would you say that distances in my country are 'smaller'? The term that you should be looking at is per-capita income at purchasing power parity.

Two, economies go through development cycles. They start out in the low-skill jobs and then move on. For example look at the shipbuilding industry. Moved from the west to Japan in the 60's, who then used it to move to other heavy industries. After Japan had grown skills and incomes increased the industry moved to Korea. The same cycle is in process right now, with the industry now moving to China. Don't hate outsourcing, but use it to build a better future.
Lose weight, then the exercise to actually build the abs might actually be fun.

Do you know how many calories you ingest (eat and drink!) in a day? If you eat out, or prepared foods, you could easily be getting five times what's recommended. Less in, less on.

If you're not really food-fixated you can drop pounds rapidly just by supplying yourself with better hacker chow. If you're food fixated I hear learning to cook (spice) is really pretty easy. The bar is low, any positive change helps, and it keeps paying off.

I've since gone vegetarian once I learned how possible it is. (By choice. Ick, would you lick a cow?) Now I've almost got to work at getting enough calories but for once I feel full after a healthfully portioned meal.
Wow, ok. Yah that sounds about as bad as it gets. Stay away!

The linked essay[1] is worth reading. I had no idea that sex testing was so complicated - it explained to me a lot about why sex-testing for (usually) women's sport isn't as simple as I'd assumed.

It's not that easy... Are you for instance aware that many would argue there are more than two genders? And they may use not only social but also biological arguments?

Also supposedly we as humans use technology to improve our quality of life and to sometimes tame what we don't like about the current rules nature has us living in. Why shouldn't we build technology so that one can chose to not broadcast gender information? I mean, it's not as difficult as the uniform enclosures, and for example we do build dams should someone believe changing the course of a river is for the good of a bunch of people.

To answer to your own analogy with one of my own, if we could make an Android app that makes everybody on the street ignore our gender when interacting with us publicly, would it be wrong to use it if I wanted to?

Modern language is also somewhat a technological creation, we do study and shape language in a daily basis... and yes, it's currently sexist. That doesn't mean we shouldn't discuss and act in ways between our reach to make our social networks less sexist.

One could discuss for years about to what extent those differences and sides are themselves social constructs that are today imprinted on our language... but I myself believe it would be difficult to any of us to sum it up as cleanly and insightfully as Hofstadter has already done in http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~evans/cs655/readings/purity.html (which reading I recommend, and has already been discussed here http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1421022)
This subject is so much interesting it is now the top submission of HN frontpage⸮
The feature request is to add the ability to hide your gender, not to institutionalise co-opting of "other" as "not disclosed".

I bet the post was read by a lot more people because it was written by Randall Munroe.
One advantage of publicly disclosing information about gender is that you know it's public. It's possible to glean someone's gender from the language they use (see
http://bookblog.net/gender/genie.php), meaning people who kept their gender private may be lulled into a false sense of security. Admittedly I still agree that you should always have to option to select which of your details to make public (or to limit which groups/circles this information is available to), but thought I'd chuck in a counter argument to keep things interesting.
"Also do these women who don't want to disclose their gender really need Randall Munroe to file the bug report for them?"

That's disingenuous. He's simply acting as a good "beta tester" by filing a report on what he sees as a bug. I don't think he's setting himself up as "representing women", just someone who noticed a problem and has the ability to act on it (which is true of very few people in this case; how many Google+ users have used the feedback option?)

It'd be wonderful if those weren't trademarks. What if someone asks my to get them an all-bran cereal, then bring it to their holiday inn, the Hilton Beachside, for breakfast before a conference discussing network solutions, where we pitch CRM technology to window developers who make transparent building panels?

Mightn't I get confused by all those stupid companies who term-squat on otherwise useful parts of our language?

Trademark law pays off well when we allow for names like 'Google'; it's new (not stepping on existing terms or usage) and thus also unique. But names like Network Solutions are actively harmful. They do cause some confusion. In fact, a low-level imperceptible bias is what they're counting on.

Trademark law would lose 92.4% of its complexity (and burden to society) if we simply stopped allowing generic terms or combinations of generic terms.
He's making a point since this is such a frequently overlooked issue. By raising awareness, other companies and startups are less likely to make this mistake.

You're selling a wrapper of Google Tasks in a web view for $2 and trying to spam it on HN? You could at least try to get your adjectives right.
Jokes aside, I like to fit people into two numbers between 0 and 1, non-inclusive. The first, number A represents your gender identification, with 0 being ideally female and 1 ideally male (remember the scale is non inclusive of the bounds). The second number B represents the gender identification that you're attracted to.

So, for example:

Hetero male: A=0.8, B=0.2

Gay male: A 0.7 b 0.9, or a 0.8 b 0.7

It's a convenient way to explain gender to nerds, and remember that there are error bars on each number that vary over a lifetime.
As with other minority issues, I'd imagine he's speaking out on it because he feels that:

- The population he speaks for is a minority: they aren't yet well represented within the group

- Those who are in the group may feel uncomfortable speaking out about it, particularly because they're a minority

- The issue is important enough to that minority that it may lead them to leave or not join (and so continue to be underrepresented), and the group and the minority are important enough to him that he thinks it's worth addressing.

The "long rant" serves to bring attention to the significance of the issue, as does the fact that someone so well known is taking the time to make it.
I believe the technology is here (or not far from being here) for an augmented reality app that tags people you see in public with their RL names, occupations, etc. Scary, huh?

It would also be ideal, given the current sexist state of language, to add a combo box to choose if you want to be refered to as "he", "she", or, in what now seems like a distant utopia, gender-neutrally, obviously given each language possibilities. That would be so much a big step into having gender equality on the net that the fact no big social network has done it yet tells us about how misunderstood a problem discrimination and biases towards sex and gender are.
The Pros and Cons of Raising Money from Friends and Family
I understand the issues that arise with forcing people to expose more about themselves, than they are comfortable with. From a personality standpoint, my google+ account is a well defined sliver of who I am as a whole, by design. Mostly because I consider it something that could be put on a resume.

As far as the social issues of such public knowledge, I wonder, is hiding from the problem, by sexually, racially, and or religiously homogenizing profiles ever going to help cure the problem in society that makes, making these things public, an issue? Certain males, act like jackasses around women, is putting them in an isolated bubble going to cure the problem?

Does training people that you can't say xy or z around people of a certain race, stop them from being racist? It just makes them Pavlov's Dog, they know saying those things are socially bad, and keep saying and doing the same exact things, when society is more lax about those things being said or done to a different group of people, say, homosexuals.

Sure it makes it harder for them to find people to act that way around, making it seem like its less of an issue, but does nothing to change the mentality that causes the behavior, they'll just find someone else to do it to, that is more socially acceptable, like Muslims. Hiding from it, is not the way, dealing with it, which is going to cause some discomfort is the you cure it.
A month ago I got a letter from Comcast Security alleging a DMCA infringement claim against me for downloading some kind of MLB game torrent by a rights holder. It sounded like Comcast had turned over my information to that company based on a log of several bytes of a torrent seeded by what was supposedly my IP address.

Among the many issues with the complaint:

* I was the only internet user any time near the date of the alleged infringement, and I don't torrent things.

* I had never heard of the MLB game I allegedly pirated, based on their supposedly downloading several whole bytes of a torrent from my IP.

* The IP address was not mine. The IP assigned to my modem hadn't changed in years, the one in the complaint was never mine, and was owned by a different ISP in a different region. Through a series of faxes (the only way to contact anyone, Comcast Security's phone lines only play prerecorded messages about copyright law) I was able to reach someone that verified the IP in the letter was not and never was assigned to my modem.

So now next time some copyright troll sends out a thousand notices to Comcast and they decide to link some other person's IP address to an innocent customer's account, not only will they get a nasty letter, but their connection will be degraded? Great...

I canceled my Comcast account after that letter and signed up for FiOS.

Why the Facebook-Skype Video Calling Won’t Be Ubiquitous
Apple IPhone Software Has Security Flaw, German Regulator Says
I take great offense to my culture being defined as "relentless treatment of women as objects teaches them that they are defined by the one thing that men around them want from them"

Yes some people do that, but VERY few. It's as silly as thinking that all gay men speak with lisps, yes some do and those that do are very identifiable as likely gay. Yes there is always that guy in the bar that is inappropriate with women, and he will get noticed, but did anyone bother to look at the VAST majority of men who do not engage in that behavior. These are also the same idiots who are getting into bar fights with other men. This doesn't make it acceptable but it's hardly a hallmark of my "culture". There are people who just don't respect other people in every culture.

As to being bigger and stronger, perhaps we should look to the nation of Japan and the feats its military was able to achieve with men roughly the size of north american women. Women are perfectly capable of defending themselves, not that they should have to, just like smaller men are perfectly capable of defending themselves, not that they should have to. These are again averages and if you look at the deviances you'll see that there are a lot of women who are larger than a lot of men.

Also, keep in mind that a man is twice as likely to be assaulted as a woman so from a statistical perspective it is men who should be fearing for their safety
as they post their gender online.

I personally think it's a good idea for Google to make the settings private but it doesn't need the invocation of chivalric myths and the slander of an entire culture for it to happen. Frankly, the idea that women can't defend themselves and we need to add privacy settings to protect them seems more to perpetuate the ideals of chivalry than feminism.

I utilise HN as a resource to stay in touch with what is happening at the core of the tech industry and more importantly, to keep me inspired and motivated to get my own start-up launched. One thing I never use HN for is soliciting candidates or clients.

I currently work in the Tech Recruitment industry, so I do weigh in from time to time defending the minority in our industry that are some bit decent and I do my best to offer advice on resumes and interviews if and only when asked.

All that considered, I receive at least one or two emails a week from UK based HN'ers who ask me to help them find work and on the odd rare occasion I have had potential clients approach me asking if I could help them recruit for roles they are struggling with.

Now I do sincerely try and keep my day job & HN entirely seperate but the passive opportunities that come my way through this site are a very clear indicator to me that this is a fantastic platform for YC companies to gain access to some incredibly talented staff.

Of course it's private property, and of course it's Apple's call what goes on there. I never claimed it was anything but. My argument was not one of ownership, but one of privacy. I was not using "public" as an antonym for "privately owned", but rather as an antonym for "in private". If I have sex on a public bus, I'm not going to be charged with misusing public property, I'm going to be charged with having sex in public.

I don't have a repo on GitHub and while it may certainly be better than SF (and probably is, judging by the comments here), I have to take issue with the overall quality of this article.

First of all, when I started reading the article, I genuinely expected that it would be a good analysis of why GitHub surpassed Sourceforge, but instead it read like a GitHub fanboy's rant about how much cooler GitHub is. Some of the things said about SF are simply not true, for example, one of his main points - that if you host your project on SF, your project page is your website and that's it, the only other way to have a website is to host it elsewhere. That's simply not true. SF does provide web hosting, and your domain name is not some convoluted URL, it's "yourprojectname.sourceforge.net".

The author of the article states that GitHub is a "code host". But what does that mean, is SF also not a "code host"? Does it not hold your code in a repo? Except that besides doing that, it also offers a plethora of other services. They might not be the best there are, but hey, they're here, and if you don't want to use them, don't. Want to have a forum hosted by SF? Ok, you can do that. Want to have it somewhere else? No problem, host it elsewhere. Nobody's forcing you.
It seems that the author is somehow trying to turn the fact that GitHub doesn't have these features into an advantage for GitHub.

The thing is, this could have really been a good article. There are a number of reasons why devs move away from SourceForge. Unfortunately, the article makes no mention of them. SF's frequent downtime is one of those reasons. The general slowness and unresponsiveness of the site is another. There are good reasons why people are leaving SourceForge. Just not those that the author of this article mentions.

Really depends how the boss acts. If you work at a company with less than 10 people and the founder says "No, you can't do that" and insists on doing it himself, what else are you gonna do?

Of course, you could argue that you're still "doing it wrong" by continuing to work for a company where the boss won't actually let you do your work to the best of your ability. This is a fairly large percentage of small companies, though. It is harder to manage people effectively than it is to found a company.

Something went wrong in machine architecture. If the intent is to produce and ship a fully initialized object graph from core P to core C for immediate consumption, well, why can't core P just write dirty lines straight into core C's cache? Right now core P generally has to completely flush its write buffer and broadcast invalidations to all other cores, even the ones with no references to that memory and no reason to care about its contents. Memory barriers are seeming more like manual allocation to me, one of those things that humans just shouldn't need to be involved with, because it's nothing more than an opportunity to make subtle mistakes which are agonizing to troubleshoot.
