The computers and communication tech you love were developed as a result of the moon landing. Loads of stuff like that entered the public domain.

That's apart from improvements in digital imaging, large scale manufacturing, material sciences and flight control that were derived from the project.

Moreover, it was a longer term investment in humankind becoming a spacefaring species - something that will be necessary for our survival.

It was a bargain.
It's an interesting point. Speaking as an Englishman, how much do we collectively owe the world?
Most of programs that could be described this way are about giving underprivileged people a better chance. For example by reaching out to specific groups to bring more applications, or funding scholarship to allow poorer people to attend. They're rarely about strictly changing passing scores to adjust the balance. Yes, I know there are exceptions like this one.

You can still fight for adjusting chances (what people also describe as positive discrimination) and criticise this idea.
I agree with React being a good bet, but looking at the source code at the link, porting the library over to vanilla javascript or vue seems rather simple given it's mostly using JSX and not using an in-depth React feature like hooks.
No union needed, it's not legal. Getting around the statutory notice period isn't possible, unless the employment is on a temporary basis not exceeding three months. If they had no more than 20 employees, they could limit the notice period to one month, but that's it.
Yes. The Chrome devs refuse to accept there are viable cases for not allowing autocomplete.
I think the important question here is: Why are the girls scoring higher? Are they doing better academically, or are teachers grading them differently?

In Canada we see girls outperform boys dramatically on teacher-assigned grades, but only very slightly on standardized tests; it's important to understand if the difference arises from the students or from the teachers.
I should have added it was sarcasm :(

Wait a second. There was an old employee that created turntable.com as a competitor which is why Billy brought back the .FM version.

Now the .com redirects to .FM. What happened? That site had raised thousands of dollars. What happened to that money? Did they scam people?
I assume it comes up if you go deeper into the process, and you can't share that page with the public. Not sure, though, as I'm not about to go apply for a job just to verify a vague HN post...
I do not see why it would need unions to fight that. It's just not legal here. It is four weeks minimum period of notice and it increases the longer an employee works for the same employer, up to seven month for twenty years of job tenure. Two weeks during the first six month of new employees.

Other agreements can be made but only if it improves the situation of the employee.

In the IE days the standards were manageable and relatively fixed, it was possible to have a test suite and point fingers "not compliant!".

Now we have "Living Standard"...
I guess I'm not seeing the problem with those tweets?

I mean, he lists four options, and identifies natural release as the most likely and intentional release as very unlikely. And it's expressed clearly, in full sentences.

By the standards of republican politicians on twitter, that's actually pretty good.
Three cheers for brute force methods.

Quite a few actually! After all they include static pages with comment sections, forums, image boards etc. - all places where you would want to have user profiles and naturally avatars.
The article explicitly says they removed "offensive language". Just like LSJ did, just with a different view of what was offensive.
I'm really not shifting the goalposts at all. The purpose of a spec is that an implementation can be built on it, and any spec worth its salt should be verified for clarity, feasibility, soundness, etc. by implementations. In fact, W3C had a requirement for two independent implementations for any spec to reach recommendation status. So in this context, a fork can't be meaningfully counted as independent implementation; if it were, I could create an empty fork on github and call it a day to satisfy the requirement of two independent implementations.

By forking, you inherit a code and test base encoding all quirks and warts (= that which is actually spec-worthy), but don't gain any insight into the spec quality or alignment with a spec at all.

Now, of course, we have a much worse problem with web specs: that no browser has been started from scratch since basically forever. Thus, the spec can serve merely as an after-the-fact documentation of existing browser behaviors, or at best record an intent for "browser vendors" to implement some feature. Which is what WHATWG basically is and how it came to be: a platform for "browser vendors" to agree on evolving web standards without the ceremony of a full-blown spec process like W3C's. There's nothing wrong with that; it's just not what should be called "a standard", especially if it doesn't produce a published, versioned document or other deliverable but is always work-in-progress by design.
On the flip side, I've also seen Wordpress specialist consultancies grow large businesses out of this inevitable influx of change requests and the revenue that comes with it.

These consultancies strike the right balance in terms of knowing their product, managing expectations, and knowing when to say "no".

I can see the PM with this story "As a user I want to feel welcome back to my websites hence my login information will be auto-filled if the sites welcome me back"

Exactly, and isn't it likely to be used equally as a post login phrase? Which is how I discovered this "bug" in the first place!
I think a very important reason for Twitter's influence is that it is very easy to include tweets in an article. This saves editorial work. There is no need to paraphrase/extract parts of a longer article and so it mostly avoids the problems around incorrect quotes. It also makes attribution of your sources easier because the tweet is the source itself.
Of course, Twitter is a horrible platform for nuanced opinions, but these do not seem to be very popular nowadays.
I had the same response while reading it, too. Like, wow, this is telling me all the technical things I wanted to know about the situation. This is one reason I pay for IEEE, they do a great job relaying the facts in summary articles from the main source.
I appreciate you, tosh!
That's fair; Maybe you need to hold two triggers, and the torque limit is reduced if you're only operating in "one hand mode"?
I grew up with the values that discrimination is wrong no matter the gender. Normally it's guys that get discriminated against in this highly institutionalised manner. At least in the West. Japan and the third world are a different story.

You are not doing the fight against institutional discrimination any favours by calling this affirmative action.

Japan is probably the most old fashioned major economy. They look at gender in a different way than the West. I don't think even the feminists who invented it would agree with any 'affirmative action' explanation for this and they invented that word.

Here's another example of academic discrimination against women in Japan.

Would this have been possible outside of the Bay area? Is it possible to raise this amount of money for just an idea (a good idea from a knowledgeable founder, but no POC or traction) elsewhere in the US or anywhere in Europe? From what I understand the conventional wisdom is that only VCs from the Bay area will take this sort of bet and they will prefer the company to be located there. But much of what I've read on the matter is about 5 years old so I'm wondering if this is still true (or if it ever was).

Also, this was a really great article and congrats to the author!

Women develop faster than men so at high school age they are much more mature. They are also more willing to sit down and study while boys burst of testosterone makes them a bit more active and restless. At high school level when the material is not that sophistcated almost anybody can succeed just by putting the time into it, later in life at uni and the workplace men are overwhelmingly more innovative and successful and women tend to go out of the race towards care taking and soft people skills roles.
Isn’t this iron-clad evidence of structural sexism?

Exactly what was done when Chernobyl was proven to be caused by humans: show the world how reckless and callous the USSR's government really was.

Chernobyl was a huge factor in the eventual collapse of the soviet government. They played a very risky game and it had existential consequences for the power structure that caused it.
Problem is the invoice itself is real. You have to contest it actively to the debt collector and give at least some evidence as to why the debt is invalid. If you do not actively contest the collection, it will soon end up in court. This is a very routine case for a district judge where they will give a default judgement in favor of the plaintiff.

The problem is that the law in Finland is written so that even if the collection is baseless the supposed debtor needs to actively manage it or end up in legal jeopardy. Which is rather unfair if you are a victim of identity theft.
Safari doesn't write the HTML, and web page authors don't write explicit clean markup, so the pedestrian approach doesn't work in the real world.
I'm really sorry if my post was irrelevant.
so - is this your defense of IE11 as well?

There are several questions regarding bugs - how many are there, how difficult are they to find, how difficult are they to fix.

It seems that there are many Safari bugs that are difficult to find, and to fix, which makes them worse than other browsers.

In this case I believe the bug is actually difficult to find, this guy found it but I bet a lot of developers just went and ahead and wrote it down as a bug with safari, can't or won't fix. But now we know it's an easy fix - don't write Welcome Back in a page if you don't want this behavior.

My question is if your language is another one - like lang="DE" will it then have the same behavior on a page with the German version of Welcome Back.

Are there other magic strings that serve the same purpose as Welcome Back in Safari's mind.

on edit: changed difficult to fix to difficult to find.
Also, I don't think any definition of "gay woman" wore saffron coloured robes in Victorian Britain, this is a Classical reference.

Yeah, please don't post these piece of crap blogposts with such strong wording that "women and minorities *ARE* penalised".

For a forum that requests scientific rigour for sometimes even the most trivial claims, HN really does let these affirmative posts get away without any scrutiny. No doubt ONLY because of fear of being labeled a racist/sexist/x-ist.

The blog post takes some very controversial claims and tries to pass it off as facts:
- "We know that in the U.S., there is still a power and status gap between men and women and between whites and nonwhites." - the gap between men and women can and has been explained by choice of profession, seniority, temperamental differences. Same thing with nonwhites, if you're an immigrant from Mexico or a brother from the ghetto, for sure you'll have a harder time than Ivy league educated kid from the suburbs. It doesn't have to be sexism and racism respectively.

Now I'm just throwing sh*t against the wall and seeing what sticks, but maybe colleagues just don't appreciate when someone takes up work time with their social justice agendas instead of working. I recall several months ago there was a link to a blogpost suggesting that blacks are being ignored during meetings due to racism. OR, maybe they just happen to have nothing worthwhile to say? How do we know? How do we determine? It seems in the current political climate, we don't need to, with accusations of racism you're always guilty until proven innocent and it's up to you to prove it otherwise(good luck proving a negative). I know that a few times when I spoke up in meetings I was ignored. Why? Because on those occasions I had nothing of value to add, but maybe I should find an x-ism cause and write accusatory blogposts to champion it.

I'm not claiming that racism/sexism/unfair discrimination based on arbitrary features don't exist. They do. But sometimes you're not doing well not because you're discriminated, but because you're not good enough for one reason or another. Being accused of crimes one didn't commit and put into prison by a systemically corrupt institution - racism(true story too, happened to Allen Iverson). Not doing well at something? Maybe sometimes it's worth to examine what YOU can do instead of jumping to the racist/sexist card to absolve yourself of all personal responsibility for your failures.
>Perhaps there is some disconnect in how different parties of the discussion see the whole thing. For me this sounds a lot like "you're holding it wrong". What background are you coming from and what languages/programming environments you are familiar with? I get the impression that you don't have much general purpose programming background and somehow tend to assume that people are using "wrong workflows" due to being just stupid or something. But this is how it comes off to me, I think you mean something else, but I don't know what that is.

No, you're not stupid. You've correctly identified current flaws in the tools, and the community tries to lead you to the tools that are known to work well in spite of the issues. We need to work a little bit more on the other tools to make them as good, but large parts of the community are just not the right people to work on that problem. It's not a design problem, it's fixable, but you just have more people who know how to make new differential equation solvers than you have people who can compile a binary, so the tooling ecosystem moves at a different pace from the scientific packages. This is changing with the help of some commercialization aspects though, but it is something we have to be cognizant of.
Not particularly. Natural gas extraction typically just throws the H2 away.
Wouldn't that make pishing attempts way easier?
Eh, still sexism. Affirmative action is not an acceptable practice.

> I’ve seen girls score much higher than boys at the school level here in India.

I think the same is true here in Germany. As a (boy) teenager I felt that this was often unfairly spun as "girls are actually smarter, boys are troublemakers in school".

(Sometimes combined with the comment that I can agree with: Although they have better grades in school, women have less opportunities and earn less later in live, which shows the systematic discrimitation.)

Looking back I interpret girls doing better in school tragically - they are not "better" than boys, but (on average) more obiedient and adapted. So yet another way how they draw the short straw in our society.

But the point is that recall based examination may be discriminatory against males, it's an institutional requirement as a form on entrance requirements and therefore would require affirmative action.

I don't necessarily agree with this but I do believe you could argue that it fits the definition of affirmative reaction. Unless it's got a requirement to never be applied to males.
What a coincidence. Just read yesterday about it in the Monocle book of Japan and that it will be either teared down or preserved depending on the votes among the owners.
Whats the point of this feature? Even if the username is needed, Safari can't do anything with it if it can't find a form field to put it in.
My workaround for this is to write XHTML 5. Now, that standard AFAIK never materialized, but modern browsers will still happily use their XML parser if you serve the document as application/xhtml+xml instead of their default (slower) tag-soup parser to create a DOM-tree out of it and after that their HTML 5 support ensures that they render it correctly.

If and when browsers drop their XML parser, I hope they will just parse these docs as HTML and only then would I loose the option of self-closing tags.

Oh gosh. You just know the engineer who had to implement this hates the product lead even more now.
It is interesting that the author assumes that the intent of industrial applied AI is to make better decisions - from my experience, in the vast majority of cases companies are applying various techniques (both AI/ML and hard-coded heuristics) with the explicit intent to get cheaper decisions, knowing very well that they aren't going to be as good as a dedicated, caring human could make them.

The goal is either business process automation (do the same thing with less people) or to enable processing at a scale where doing it manually is impractical. For example, nobody would assert that an automated email spam filtering system is going to better than a human filtering my email, but an automated filter is quite useful since most of us can't afford a personal secretary. The bar for "good enough to be useful" often is lower than "human equivalent".
Safari also completely ignores autocomplete="off" when it thinks something is a username or password field. Even when, as a dev, I know it definitely isn't.
I can only guess you are against universal healthcare also? In countries that have universal healthcare, that care is substantially cheaper; so you pay much less overall.

I live in the UK, which has quite a generous benefits system. Although such a system is open to abuse, it's much cheaper than imprisoning people that have resorted to crime to get by (they they do in the US).
This is objectively incorrect. Multiple lawsuits have shown that most affirmative action measures directly lower the required test scores for “disadvantaged” groups significantly, and discriminate against so-called “model minorities” by raising their entrance requirements.

Affirmative action is simply discriminating against groups society cares less about in favor for groups society cares more about. As shown here, where men are valued over women. As shown in the US, where AA/LatinX have a higher cultural value and far more positive cultural portrayal than Asians. So on and so forth. It comes down to who you can devalue enough to deem an “acceptable casualty” in favor of the “greater good” of promoting your preferred racial/gender/other group.

Never mind the children whose adolescences were wasted as they poured countless hours into a struggle to reach asymptotically high admissions thresholds, because they were binned by affirmative action policies before they were even born. Acceptable casualties, according to the promoters of AA.

No, if you want to bring certain groups out of poverty, spend tax dollars on that pre-admissions instead of placing the burdens of your historical societal failures disproportionately on the shoulders of my people’s children.
