At her Phi Beta Kappa induction, there were separate ceremonies for men and women. At hers, a woman gave a speech called “Feeling Like a Fraud.” During the talk, Sandberg looked around the room and saw people nodding. “I thought it was the best speech I’d ever heard,” she recalls. “I felt like that my whole life.” At every stage of her time in school, Sandberg thought, I really fooled them. There was “zero chance,” she concluded, that the men in the other room felt the same.

This is actually very common among successful people. It's called "Impostor Syndrome" and I don't think it affects women more than men. https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Impostor_Synd... (The opposite is the Dunning-Kruger effect, https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Dunning%E2%80... )

Sandberg says she eventually realized that women, unlike men, encountered tradeoffs between success and likability.

I'm not sure if it's exactly the same, but a study posted to HN just yesterday proves that this affects men as well. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2724212

Also, I don't understand this part:
Sandberg asked Goler to oversee human resources at Facebook. Goler wavered, saying that she didn’t think she was qualified. “No man would ever turn down more responsibility,” Sandberg admonished her. Goler then said yes.

There are a ton of engineers who don't want to be in management, and have turned down offers of "more responsibility". How could Sandberg not know that, having worked at Google and Facebook?
I hope they're working on it, but like I said, I'm mostly worried about the politics of it.

Also, they might reject that idea just on the basis that their interface won't be as simple with this...
Hosting services today really don't cost much, so if anybody asks me to recommend a good email service (gmail, hotmail) I recommend registering a domain and setting up their own mailbox, providing complete freedom, instead of subjecting themselves to the caprices of the company "that doesn't want to do evil". I still remember my @mac.com account that was supposed to stay free forever - and then I had to pay to access it (and also had to have a credit card - at the time, prepaid cards didn't exist). Sorry for writing in Italian, if this comment could be useful in any way (and if I see some points) I'll try to translate it better :)

I like HTML too, but when I took a look at ECO i thought wow, that's a lot of `%` signs... Then I started thinking about all that big corp JSP I wrote a lifetime ago.

Sexify your source-code (Increasing the perceived value of your software)
Most users (even if they are developers) judge your software by it’s ‘cover’ and will assume the code sucks if the ‘package’ sucks. If your package looks shiny and cool, however, they will trust you and assume your code is better – sometimes better than it actually is. That is what we call perceived value.

I believe the news feed was originally generated every 20 to 40 minutes for each user, regardless of whether they were on the site. This way, caching was extremely effective and the architechture could withstand downtime on the feed generators. I remember a few days where the news feed didn't update at all.

In other words you're acting as your son's guardian, which is exactly as it should be.

The problem I have is with telling your kid: go ahead sign up and lie about your age. There's a huge difference between the parent taking the step of creating the account with a password known by the parent and telling the kid to go ahead and lie, which is what a lot of (probably childless) commenters suggest.
You are exposing the kid to adult problems, and expecting an infant to behave in in a legal and socially acceptable manner. I'm not saying not to let the kid on the internet, I'm saying that this needs to be an educational experience for a kid, not a situation where we all complain about regrettable situations.

Why don't we let kids drive cars? All the kid has to do is lie on the form when taking the drivers test.

I couldn't agree with you more. My family owned an autoparts business in the worst part of the country, where we had multiple robberies and shootings resulting in fatalities. When we were building the online business, Googles automatic listings had my mothers home address listed as the business address. This was very dangerous for my mom and not very comforting. It took them over 2 weeks to change the information (I know the process has changed for business listings). At the time though I felt thoroughly helpless. I called some sort of google help number then and they basically told me they couldn't help.
I guess they want to market it as if it were competing with the Air, though.

But that is comparing Apples to Oranges, if you ask me. Comparing a tiny SSD (SDCARD?) and a wimpy Atom and a plasticky case and a sexy price to a full-fledged SSD, a Core2Duo (i3 soon?), superb build quality and a hefty price tag? Doesn't make sense.
Apple is marketing for thin, elegant, expensive.
Asus should be marketing for cheap, tiny, gets-the-job-done.
Scaling a Rails Webservice on AWS/EC2 for a #1 iPhone and iPad App
I'm not sure if you actually read the article or even GP's comment, because you're not addressing their point. In the article, Sanders says "The men were banging down the door for new assignments, promotions, the next thing to do, the next thing that stretches them. And the women—not all, most—you talked them into it. ‘Don’t you want to do this?’ "

It's an observation, not an "absurdly wrong-headed, misogynist thing".

Edit: and Michael Arrington said "Every damn time we have a conference we fret over how we can find women to fill speaking slots. We ask our friends and contacts for suggestions. We beg women to come and speak. . . . And you know what? A lot of the time they say no. Because they are literally hounded to speak at every single tech event in the world because they are all trying so hard to find qualified women to speak at their conference."

I am working on something similar to this, though I've implemented a renderer like that of a game, with all visible elements being rendered at 30 fps, foregoing DOM manipulation for writing HTML text directly to innerHTML[1], and culling non-visible elements. This avoids the slight jerkiness that exists when scrolling on the linked page.

Even if V8 could do this, I'd probably continue to compile my stuff manually (it's so easy) so I wouldn't have to wait for Node / Chrome to update to the newest V8 when there is a new version of the CS compiler that I might need "now".

Also it'd be the only way for me to be sure my CS is compiled by the proper compiler version.

Just reading your comment, it occurred to me that this is an editor problem.

What we actually need are editors in which you can set you language (haml, slim, less etc), and then those are compiled and saved, in realtime to html, erb, css etc.

Not having used too much Coffee Script yet, I don't know what the transformation from CS -> JS -> CS would result in, but I believe HAML -> HTML -> HAML would be pretty much 1:1, and html2haml already produces pretty much exactly the same haml I would have produced if I had done the conversion manually.

True, however, I think google can't do anything about it because of its TOS.

If Google gets say 50 million users, and growing, who will benefit more from using the name Huddle? Google or "Huddle"? I think the answer is obvious. Huddle is basically unknown. Google is making the name popular.

Huddle should just roll with it, and maybe just sign an agreement with Google that Google can't go after them later. They only stand to benefit from Google using their name in a popular feature of theirs. Plus, if they become too aggressive against Google, they might suffer from the type of PR Lodsys got.
I know quite a few Windows 7 laptops that don't get hibernation quite reliable, either. I guess that could mean that hibernation is simply very hard to do if you don't know the exact hardware.
While this might be true in some schools, I think Digital Textbooks can be the double edged swords of beer money on a world stage at least in the early stages. I actually saved money by not having to buy textbooks because our school digitized the library--no doubt further down the line publishers and even Authors (read: professors) will try and monetize that system when they realize scholastic book sales are down but until then, drink up my friend.
why would Google enforce COPPA compliance internationally?

Because it's Google (an American company) who have to comply with COPPA and not some children (of any nationality).
I think -and with all due respect to you, and your son-... this is extremely exaggerated.
While I agree that it does seem slightly more appropriate to use something like haml that's specifically designed for this purpose, I kind of like this because it removes the somewhat annoying need to learn a new language (assuming you already know coffescript).

I haven't looked at this too much, but I also find that templating languages often try to implement some elements of higher level programming languages, but often end up not having some of the features I want (I'm thinking specifically about liquid right now and it's apparent inability to let the designer declare arrays on their own, and its sort of awkward "filter" mechanism instead of just sticking to function calls, syntactically)

edit: well, actually, nevermind - now that I think about it liquid and haml/erb/etc are different things - liquid is trying to be a programming language and haml/erb are templating markups used with existing programming languages. I guess what I like about this is that it's just one consistent language - the markup parts and the dynamic parts are done via the same thing, as opposed to having a programming language embedded in a markup language
> That said, the bigger problem is that Google happily accepted his date of birth in Google+, added it to the Google account and afterwards locked him out of every Google service.

Well said, I think the most worrying part is that google didn't even warn us it was going to use this information across all its services, this is the first time I'm actually disappointed by google.
Τσάντες
By far your easiest option would be use Tranzila, or one of the similar services.

That - or just use PayPal WPP.
You make a good point, but I wonder how quickly a suitable solution would evolve if we could kill the momentum of services like Google Mail a bit.

The tools to do local mail hosting, IMAP, webmail, etc. all exist. From personal experience, configuring them is a pain in the backside if you're not an experienced sysadmin, which of course includes almost everyone. If that could be overcome, the tech is there.

As for hosting, there are various blog platforms where you have a choice between hosting the code yourself, either on your own machine or on a system included with your personal ISP account, or using a site such as wordpress.com where they do the maintenance and in some cases charge money for extras but the software and data formats are basically the same. I see no reason a similar model couldn't work for e-mail, and if a particular e-mail platform started to take off, there is no reason for ISPs not to support it locally; most of them have always offered some sort of included e-mail mailbox and webmail facility anyway, just not of the calibre of Google Mail and not necessarily easily compatible with other systems.

Basically, I think the problems with a better solution that doesn't leave you at the mercy of a big organisation like Google are genuine but not insurmountable. It's more about usability and standardisation/interoperability than about technical issues.

My personal pivot from medicine into technology
I think I'm in the minority here by saying this because I am not as technically savvy as most of you, but after reading some of the comments on the article page, I'm actually happy that the United States and Canada haven't rushed into this--call me old fashioned, but I think as great as it would be to have your own little tablet for school--there's a lot to be said about the typical worldly adventures young students get into by not being absorbed by the screen of a machine. Don't get me wrong, computers probably do need to be more incorporated into the school system (I know I would have liked a programming course in elementary school) but it shouldn't be all encompassing, which is what I sort of see with the steps South Korea is taking.
Thorium waste will be indistinguishable from Uranium waste for the next 100 years, from a public policy perspective, unless we first build a reprocessing plant.

(To be more specific, it's the absence of nuclides with mass number greater than 238 in Thorium waste that makes it less problematic than Uranium waste. These nuclides dominate the long-time, i.e. millenium, radiation profile of the waste. The short-time, i.e. decade/century, radiation profile of the waste is dominated by lower-mass-number fission products, abundant in both types of waste)

Reprocessing plants are extraordinarily expensive to build and operate, more so even than reactors themselves.
As a nuclear engineer, I doubt it.

While I also think this is too indirect for my taste, I'd really like to know why the maintainers hate it. Is it simply because they've never learned HAML and how to debug/maintain it? Or because it truly is a nightmare?

I'm interested because I was thinking about trying it. I've been wondering about the maintenance implications though.
Noticing that on our TiVo as well. It drops off almost all of season 5, 6, and 7, with only 1-2 episodes from each for a total of 100 episodes total.

Last I checked the TiVo guide wasn't updated with the info on Netflix availability, so I couldn't access them that way either. Was really looking forward to switching to this over the recorded from TV version that WGN plays at 2 am or whenever, but they were just started season 5.

They are completely different to me as well, which is why I don't record rumpy-pumpy on runkeeper, or wear my HRM/Cadence/GPS watch for it.

They are evidently not completely different to the users of fitbit who are telling the world about it, because otherwise they wouldn't be overtly and deliberately stating (on a website whose purpose is to share activity details with the world) that any particular 2m52s of increased activity was due to squelching.

Please let me know if I've missed some crucial point regarding fitbit usage, because I really can't see how this is "unwitting".

There’s no getting my hands dirty outside of work, and that puts a damper on being creative.

100% agree, as someone who had previously considered medical career (am now glad I haven't followed through). One can only learn from books so much -- the best learning is by doing, and if you can't do anything on your own -- well that's a pretty nasty deal breaker.

But I do want to kill the stereotype that becoming a doctor makes you a good person.

Of course it doesn't. It makes you a middle-class respectable person; being "good" is entirely up to you.

Google actually provides a paid service, google apps. I wonder - If the father set up an account on his own domain with google apps and gave his son an account, would the TOS still apply?

Your point about Greece losing its strategic position after the collapse of the eastern block is spot on. The inability of greek governments to adapt is in part responsible for this mess. It is also true, though, that most greeks (e.g. me) did not realize in what great peril the country was. Had we known the country was drowning in debt, we would not borrow as much and start businesses here. Unfortunately, even today, nobody has gone on trial over these grave financial crimes.

I might even argue it's also a cultural thing, in greece almost all laws are enforced loosely. Paying taxes is usually considered the dumb thing to do; you won't find many greeks being "proud to pay their taxes". Politics is impenetrable to new ideas, it's considered to be obscure like voodoo, passed on from generation to generation between 3 families (even now, the current prime minister and the opposition leader used to be college roommates).

Not all greeks are the same though, you just hear the loudest voices. Greece has a large, educated (and largely unemployed) youth that could fuel a new wave of growth now that markets are opening here. You might hear of riots, but these were concentrated on a square in Athens. I might be wrong, but there is a growing feeling that we are expecting the impending default as a chance to start over the economy, to actually do some work.

Things are changing, in the eleventh hour, for sure, but one can only be optimistic. The country is about to enter some tectonic shifts and looking to the past has nothing to offer.
You are not Google's customer. You are their product. Google make their money by selling your data and your attention to advertisers. Charging you money and treating you like a customer creates a conflict of interest that they really don't want to deal with. Google's strategy of "scalable customer service" is no accident.
