You're only pointing out your opinion on the matter - Without any authority to your definition and judgement on what constitutes "sexism".

As a counterpoint: I can point out how little sexism there is on HN, according to my judgement. Is that of equal worth?
It is the opposite, gender equality needs to have been achieved decades ago to get equal gender ratios in leadership positions since it takes so long to build a career and rise to the top. What we see today mirrors the social dynamics that existed in the 80's. What we will see in the coming decades will be the social dynamics of the 90's, then 00's to the 10's etc.
> It really doesn't send a signal that you want to work with other people or participate in a discussion if you're just sitting there with the camera off.

That only matters if you aren't otherwise working with people and participating in discussions. Meetings are not where most of that happens. They aren't even where the most important of that happens.

Did you try any public wifi in that small town? In China, much of GFW circumvention happens at the router level. You can easily buy special routers on taobao with shadowsocks built in. It's possible your AirBNB host simply had their internet set up to bypass the GFW by default as a convenience for their guests.
Plenty of it has a point - so does Cosmo. The problem is that it's a psychological model written primarily to be sold. You're welcome to put your trust in that, but I think that's a mistake, and the way that type of stuff usually hurts people is that the model being peddled cuts off deeper understanding of human relationships.
I’ve had this sort of thing happen to me as well. Often different reasons, for example: one reviewer didn’t like my permission text for camera access.

Twice now I’ve had to appeal the review. Each time the appeal worked in my favor and I was able to publish again. Keep in mind, as part of the appeal process they call you, so you will need to be answering unknown calls for a while. But the people I’ve talked to that handled the appeal process were all very nice.

You are absolutely right. It's not clear from the abstract whether there is a buried absolute comparison. The idea that the average of the group as a whole is raised seems so obvious I didn't even consider a reality where less competent men were replace by even less competent women.

Edit (oh look a full text article, I didn't expect to see a link so I assumed it was just an abstract link).

What it does say at least is that while the quota removed a fraction of men that turned out to be less competent than those that were removed, thereby improving the average competence of the remaining group of men, the added group of women did not have lower competence than the existing group (which would perhaps have been expected).

For women, we obtain a negative coefficient in the regression specification
without municipality trends, but a positive coefficient with trends. In neither case,
however, is the estimate significantly different from zero, suggesting that the quota
neither raised nor cut the share of competent women. This is interesting in view of
the meritocratic critique of gender quotas, namely that raising the share of women
through a quota must necessarily come at the price of lower competence among
women.

Since men and women aren't compared in absolute terms, this doesn't mean there was an increase in competence either. But it does say that it wasn't a replacement of the group of low competence men (compared to their peers) with a group of low competence women (compared to their female peers). So that does suggest something (which the article does note), for example that the pool of competent women could be larger.
Strangely like the filter we are creating now. Digital storage may be more ephemeral than stone. I would not lose sleep if much of the content created so far this century were lost.
Did you mean to reply to the grandparent poster?
>>>It was the "CPC" and the communists who liberated china. You do realize that right?

Depends on what you mean by "liberated". The bulk of the fighting against the Imperial Japanese military was done by the KMT Nationalists, under Chiang Kai-Shek. The KMT lost the civil war afterwards due to still being a shitty unpopular government, and then the CPC went on to "liberate" tens of millions of Chinese from their corporeal bodies during the Cultural Revolution.

>>>I don't remember china claiming to be the world's beacon of good.

The Chinese government is VERY good at information operations.[1] It is usually more subtle than America's ham-fisted chest-thumping. The CCP uses a lot of proxies to sing its praises, like this: [2]. But Xi Jinping is generally assertive in casting China as a model for the world. From [3]: "China will become more assertive on the world stage and believes its governance model is attractive to other countries will likely raise all sorts of alarms in Asian and Western capitals. Xi declared that China "has become a great power in the world" and "it is time for us to take center stage in the world and to make a greater contribution to humankind".

It's supposed to make everyone feel like we're on one big 'virtual office'. Of course, it might be true that in a real office anyone can come up and chat when they feel like it, there isn't a very high chance of my kids running into a real meeting naked because they've just come out of a shower/pool.

I actually took a similar stance to the person in the article and after a few weeks just moved my camera to point further and further towards a wall and just keep my hands in frame. A few grumbles but no calls from HR, yet.
Yes it is unreasonable. Its the same as your employer installing cameras in your house to watch you.
Re: 4 – the problem with compensation-based H-1B prioritization is that the skills gap in the country doesn't correlate very well with salaries. A hospital in rural Kentucky that needs immigrant doctors and nurses to serve a critical need to the community isn't going to be able to compete with a Silicon Valley startup that is burning through VC dollars and offering new grads mid-six figure salaries.
I don't think that's too surprising, I doubt you can play chess at a high level with early stages of Alzheimer's.
Silence isn’t golden: On Apple's lack of clear support policies
Cool! I wrote a similar script to automate removing rasters some ten years ago using G'MIC[1]. It was open sourced[2] and made available as a plugin of some sort. (Maybe through GIMP? Can't really remember.) The use case was enhancing page size scans of Babar childrens books which it worked great for. YMMV though, it's a bit rough around the edges.

You have to go through and pass an employment interview for a job 3x the average American wage at the minimum. That’s a hefty requirement already and probably better than any standardized test for gauging ability.

There could be a lab-leak of a naturally occurring virus, but you're saying experimentally man-made virus.

I agree with you, but I think it's necessary to be precise.
I highly recommend the book How to Measure Anything for estimation strategies generally.
Things you can do to a single image that look good do not directly scale to the same results to video, especially something in motion.

Also, this would be a good example of just because you can doesn't mean you should, especially with stripes.
The issue is also bleeding into academia. International students have been struggling to get updated passports during the pandemic, which then blocks them from other things like driver's licenses.
In reality, it's not the company running the rails that chooses where you buy coal. Simutrans tries to simulate this with some paks, since connecting more locations causes more cargo to be available, representing more companies choosing to order from that provider. The closest openttd comes is cargodist, but that is just redistributing the production to specific targets, so it relies on the player being "honest" and connecting up multiple producers/consumers.

The advise here to think about what brings you joy and how to do more of that next is solid.

Short term, I think you have an another opportunity: to negotiate an exit with your manager.

Sounds like your in the age and comp range where the company has to be careful about how you’re removed. And you might be able to leverage that to negotiate an exit that satisfies everyone.

Setup a face to face with your boss and lay out the facts professionally. Then, ask for six months salary (or whatever you want) in exchange for resigning and releasing the company.

Obviously your specific requests will be up to what you want.

If you’re not a confrontational person by nature, consider this a wonderful real life learning opportunity to navigate and develop that skill. And hopefully get something that you want — even if it’s just a softer landing between roles.
> In a system where prices are fixed too low to quell demand

Yeah, that would be a pretty stupid system, I wholeheartedly agree. In situations where there's not enough supply to a indispensable good, rationing seems the only logical approach.
I don't understand the people who refuse to never turn their camera on because they "don't like how I look on camera" I feel that is is all about reading the room. If you are in a meeting with a feel there is no need to have your camera on the whole time owhole bunch of people and you are mostly listening in I r at all. On the other hand if it is only a handfull of people say 5-6 max where you are having a discussing it is more appropriate to have a camera on.
Why don't they keep Chromium up to date like they do with Firefox? Ubuntu (to my knowledge) exempts browsers from their LTS policy because of security fixes being bundled with feature updates.
Ask his former business partners that he burned and other hackers. This isn't hidden knowledge, you just have to have been around the scene long enough. Part of why he ended up in NZ is because he literally burned everyone he could in Europe. He used to run shell boxes and brag about snooping on his customers and ratting them out to government agencies and shutting down carder rivals. He even used to boast "why would anyone trust me with their data?". This is long before Megaupload.

Kim funded Megaupload largely off of his fraudulent gains on carder forums and a legitimate business that he scammed money off of.
This is fair, but I think we can agree that rejecting an update on grounds of its basic features being duplicative, when the feature set has not changed -- which is what happened here -- is pretty absurd.
Debian can't be held responsible for flaws in Chromium can they? Wouldn't those same issues exist on all distros with the same version of Chromium? Doesn't the distro just package what they can as best they can?

> I additionally believe that they dogfood it internally before release

Given how frustrating iTunes/TV can be to use, I can not believe the highest echelons of Apple are using their software, or at least not the way I’m using it (as UI to my large collection of owned albums or to watch TV on my iPad.)

I want to watch the next episode of Ted Lasso. Does TV “now watching” give me a direct link? Hell, no! It’s stuck on “Watch First Episode”! Gotta hunt click through and scroll and select. Even though all the previous episodes are marked as watched. My device is set to English, I want subtitles so I can understand some thick Brit accent, is English CC top of the list? Hell, no!

Apple executives do not eat their dogfood. They can’t be.
Since the halftone dots are in a matrix that is at an angle, can't you just write a small program that measures the size of each halftone dot and stores that measurement? Then map the measured size to a grey value (supersmall = near white, big = black), and you have recovered all the information in that image.

Then just counter the rotation of the matrix to get the best possible right-side-up scan.
The asymmetry in power between 'everyone' and Apple, Amazon, FB is a problem begging for regulation.

If companies are making byzantine and ridiculous claims against other participants, it's bad for business.

This is completely outside the issues of Apple's right to manage apps - if it's going to do so, it has to fairly clear policy and way to redress grievances.

Things like: 'business review' and 'technical review' are separate so that bug updates don't trigger a business reviews. If a complaint is raised to level 2 and there are problems, it goes to some kind of level 3 mediation, possibly by an outside party. It also might be reasonable for Apple to require a small fee for new feature release review i.e. $100 to release a new version and have the business review. They could even consider having 3rd parties do the reviewing and only have Apple weigh in if there is a conflict. Etc..

Arbitrary and bad business operations are not good for anyone in the long run.

> Apple VoiceOver is still one of the best shipped-by-default accessibility systems

Which is frightening, because two years ago I had a terrible experience trying to modify a web app to be accessible using VoiceOver (I gave up after over a week of solid effort).

We couldn’t afford[1] to pay a third party to modify our 100% custom HTML framework[2], and VoiceOver seemed the most approachable for me to try and see how far I could progress on making our web app accessible.

VoiceOver just felt so very buggy - although perhaps the issue was the integration of VoiceOver within Mobile Safari (my dev experience is that Mobile Safari is a steaming pile of problems - current example is that iPadOS15 Safari crashes twice on many pages then goes blank so you can’t use it!).

As a dev, there also needs to be some better online training for using VoiceOver, since small teams do not have easy access to a colleague that uses it.

[1] We could pay 100% blind users to give us feedback, but couldn’t afford to pay a skilled team to consult and do the work.

[2] Custom framework because we started our product before reliable frameworks existed. Modern components are often designed to support accessibility out of the box, which is far preferable!

This is like the old shitty political saying “Something must be done! And this is something, therefore this must be done!” It sucks that driving is so dangerous.

Accessible does not always mean usable. That is the whole rub of the submitted link. The developer has better UX for blind users and the reviewers discard that as a criteria.

What do you think of the notoriously closed/proprietary attitude of Broadcom and the near unavailability of documentation?

I think the standard PC is a far better platform for OS development --- decades of backwards compatibility mean documentation is plentiful, and so is sample code.
I can't speak to other fields that require more extrinsic motivation, but as an engineering manager, cameras are pointless for teams. It's yet another one of those performative things like making your employees show up by 8am. It's a loose correlator to performance at best.

What does matter are non-transactional relationships among teams. That's what remote work has really made harder. Cameras don't make relationships more or less transactional. What makes relationships less transactional is an hour of team building. Play a few rounds of Among Us on company time...whatever the team feels like it can come together around that isn't work, which is what water cooler breaks amounted to, anyway.

Regardless, if employees don't feel comfortable being seen by the team, that's a sign of deeper team problems. Simply making them turn the camera on won't fix it.

Arguably anyone with the sheer horsepower to play ball at the Equation Group level can see far enough around the bend to feel conflicted about working for the contemporary NSA.

This is obviously speculation but if the NSA was reformed into something that mostly respected the rule of law most of the time, more excellent cryptographers and cryptanalysts would want to work there.

I imagine that the NSA’s ostensible mission of protecting United States communications and compromising the communications of legitimately menacing regimes would be better served without domestic full-take and secret courts.
