Due to various complex reasons, on average more men than women treat income as a strong "hygiene factor" and are more eager to abandon fields that are nice in other aspects but have weak pay in favor of less respected jobs with larger pay. For example, if some high-skill/high-education profession starts earning less than taxi drivers or construction workers, then a larger proportion of men than women would abandon that respected high-education career and start driving taxis or painting walls to ensure better pay, causing or increasing a gender imbalance in that job. So I would expect that the decision to abandon their studies just because PhDs become less useful for generating income would be (on average) somewhat correlated with gender.
this can also be useful in commercial dev when you have a random EC2 instance that you want to share with a nice URL.
I couldn't disagree with this more. I manage and run Kubernetes clusters as part of my job, and I can tell you that configuring, running and installing these clusters is no small feat. I don't know much about Nomad, but I would highly encourage most users to not think K8S is simple by any standard. Multiple cloud providers now provide ways to run your code directly, or your containers directly. Unless you have a reason to manage that complexity, save yourself some heartburn and make your developers happy that they just need to worry about running their code and not what happens when a seemingly innocuous change might cause a cascading failure.

From the looks of the page I doubt the output was anything as fancy as JSON. This looks like a classic pre-rendered page from the early 00s, made by the nephew of the CEO or equivalent. I'm actually surprised there's JS running on these pages at all.

There's a bunch of <input type="hidden"> elements in the search page, so I guess they did something similar to hide the information from their `select *` that wasn't meant for public consumption.

Edit: looking at the code (directly referencing XMLHttpRequest etc.) it might also be raw HTML being injected into a table somewhere...

Edit 2: based on the "base64" comments, I'm guessing the "view state" (ASP term?) was not encrypted and contained some secret info. There are other systems from other states running on similar tech, but they seem to encrypt their viewstates...
The problem is what do you do about 2fa which more and more organizations are requiring almost always via sms ? I suppose yubikeys could be part of the solution of getting away from the phone for auth.
It looks like Capital One does this via a Chrome extension, which you have to install (and which can presumably look over your shoulder to see all of the shopping websites you visit). I might consider installing this, deactivating it by default, and then only enabling it when I want to make a purchase. But I was hoping there would be a simple number generator in the mobile app. I guess that would be too easy!

Not sure how that's "defending" Tether.
They will have to spin up 41,000,000 more Tethers to pay for this!

Easy. Time to go play with the kids.
I am more nervous about the current state of humanity. In 2020, 98.2% of the country voted for political parties which explicitly endorse via congress military occupations of over 80 foreign countries, and nonstop bombing of civilians and children every day for the past two decades. Americans absolutely could not care less about the negative consequences of war already.

Sure, they are just testing out the activism they were being taught in universities out in the real world and quickly learning that what they were taught in school only works when you pay them (at university), not when they pay you (at work). Oopsies.

I agree that there are terrible cash-only therapists. After my two poor experiences with in-network therapists, I asked around in the local area to other people with ADHD and there were two positive recommendations, both of which were cash only.

My meds are 100% covered (though I had to have my psychiatrist file some extra paperwork to get anything that wasn't Adderall or Ritalin) , so at least there's that...
>If a company is using its power to do something harmful, write laws against the harmful thing, irrespective of how much power the company has.

I agree, hence my explanation of why there are no laws against "too powerful" companies. It is not an actionable condition.
The trick is to finish slightly ahead of schedule and spend the free time learning, refactoring, exploring new ideas, testing tools, automating stuff, etc.
Right, it is fine, similarly men are more interested in learning about engineering topics etc.

The main reason universities see more women than men is that universities focuses more on subjects women likes than men likes. If universities removed most social science courses you'd see mostly men in higher education.

The reason you see people complain about these things here is that they reverse the complaints about men dominating engineering. It wouldn't be right if people only complained about men dominating engineering, so to even that out people also complain when women dominate other subjects.
So do you think other medical professions are also gender specific and should be heavily weighted towards women? Because they aren't. Physicians skew male, yet, physicians deal with people!

Why is it different when a woman is taking vitals and walking through a diagnostic checklist than when a man is doing it? Is there something special about being a women that makes the better at drawing blood or placing IVs?
> Despite its reputation, Kubernetes is actually quite easy to master for simple use cases. And affordable enough for more complex ones.

Are you referring to actually spinning up and operating your own clusters here or utilizing managed k8s (e.g. GKE/EKS)?

In my understanding, sure - using the managed services and deploying simple use cases on it might not be that big of a deal, but running and maintaining your own k8s cluster is likely far more of a challenge [1] than Nomad as I understand it.

> The confusion comes from people trying to steal that term to refer to "big companies".

This is an oligopoly. Because companies are arbitrary constructs, it's a defacto monopoly by multiple sellers. The terminology is useful, but not in the sense that it is then end-all of qualification.
It must be hard work to push that "jump to recipe" button that features on pretty much every food blog on the planet.
The CFTC doesn't have that authority; a company can only get shut down for a criminal offense and Tether is not accused of any crime. Only the Department of Justice can prosecute or investigate crimes, the CFTC is an independent agency and as such has no authority to do so.

All the CFTC can do is levy a fine, so both parties are fairly indifferent as to whether that money comes from a judgement or from a settlement. There could be some minor benefit of not having to admit any "wrongdoing" for press release purposes, but overall it makes no difference.
what do you mean true ownership? the only thing you can truly own on a blockchain is something that is internal to said blockchain. you get absolutely zero protection for things that are external to that blockchain. if you take a game like hearthstone and create nft's for the cards, there is nothing about an nft on the ethereum blockchain(or any blockchain for that matter) that restricts blizzard's ability to take your cards from you, inflate said cards supply, destroy said cards or give said cards to another person even if it violates the state on ethereum. for things external to said blockchain particularly when it comes to centralized products and services it offers no guarantees over what you would get from a centralized database.
To be honest, the feature list and roadmap give me a lot of anxiety. Shouldn't you create a product that that has simple direct tailored interventions, not a panoply of many choices?
> the PinePhone's screen is almost 6" and pixel density is probably the first thing that I notice on a new smartphone. It just seems very low?

I don't think it is as big an issue. I have an old 1st Gen Nexus 7, it has 720p resolution on a 7" screen, it is perfectly readable and a generally nice screen to use (I would still be using the device frequently if it wasn't painfully slow due to degrading flash). The difference to a super-high resolution modern device is obvious on a side by side comparison, but not on its own. When I'm just using the device I don't even notice the lower resolution.

Hey, I'm just trying to explain what your comments look like to someone not involved in the original conversation, since I agreed with the statement that you objected to. Not sure where this passive aggressive defensiveness is coming from.
Copying doesn't really work. WhatsApp was big before Facebook bought them. Just because you copy some feature they had doesn't mean anybody is going to move back. Having the feature first makes you better. Having the feature second only makes you the same.

And the challenger has an advantage against a conglomerated incumbent because they can add features that reduce profits in ancillary markets the challenger isn't in. The incumbent won't want to copy that and cannibalize their other market, but the users want that feature so the challenger gains market share.
I meant the original article.
What is insane about making a phone call or sending an email? FB is not the only way to communicate.
There’s nothing stopping you selling downloadable games on your own web store either. The hard part is actually reaching an audience and then monetisation (and chargebacks). The ‘Steam effect’ is very diluted these days but a hell of a lot stronger than going without which is why everyone is still there.

And I’m extremely pro-web games!
They did it with consent.

The issue is that regardless of whether the users gave consent, their actions still ran afoul of Australian law.
> How does anyone explain any of this?

Suppose you hold a big bunch of USDT (Tethers) right now.

What would be be doing in light of these news?

Exactly.
I think this is the case. Men preferring to work with their hands over books is observed over many cultures. The university system expanding mostly in the direction of brain-work leaves out these men.

Ideally we would have a Germany-like system that better guides training for these populations and professions to help create a more robust working class.
That's pretty cool. I like these little tiny OSs.
> I think that big part of it is due to women being not really interested in tech.

Can we use the same reasoning to explain why more women earn degrees than men? Men are not interested in education? If I were a woman, I'd tell you about how my husband thinks reading books is the most boring thing ever and just want to watch sports on tv. :)

We shouldn't pressure them to pursue higher education. If men are happy being uneducated working menial jobs, we should let them while highly educated women serve leading roles in society.
> There are ~33k characters in the rematch repo, most of which are tests. I type ~500 characters per minute. So if I could sit down and type the correct code first time, without making mistakes or getting distracted, it would take 66 minutes. I don't see any fundamental reason why I shouldn't be able to at least approach that bound for such simple code - maybe get within 3 hours, say. So there is potentially room for another 10x speedup.

This seemed like a very, well, odd analysis to me.

My typing speed is the last thing that affects my overall productivity.
100% agree and when WebGPU comes out, that's going to reduce performance differences by a ton.
> if FB were less politically powerful, then they wouldn't be able to stop the good people in congress from regulating what people say on the internet

Would encourage anyone thinking like this to pause and consider if this reaction is coming from a place of reason or a sense that they are coming for our team.

If Mark Zuckerberg is the person you trust to protect your rights over our elected government, you've traded freedom for security and will likely get neither. Congress would love to pass laws restricting what people say on Facebook. Unfortunately, it can't because of the First Amendment. Facebook, on the other hand, is legally unconstrained.

More pointedly, Facebook is fine if Congress tries to regulate speech on its platform. It can point to D.C. and take the blame off its back. What Facebook is not fine with is Congress regulating all the other parts of its organization that it would rather remain hidden. In case it needs to be said, those parts aren't working in your interest.
How many actually sold?
Guido has replied to Gross's announcement to observe that his performance improvements are not tied to removing the GIL and could be accepted separately. But he doesn't reject Gross's work outright, and if the same release that includes the GIL removal also delivers a concrete performance upgrade, I suspect that Guido would be fine with it. His concern is, after all, practical, to do with the actual use of python and not some architecture principle.

I'll bite. What value-added services are gamers providing to justify an income?

Keep in mind I considering entertainment like streaming value-added to gaming.
100% this. With all the talk of web3 and gaming, WebGPU + WASM + WebXR is the path forward to the metaverse.

No walled gardens asking for a 30% cut, direct embedding of games inside a developers site, and for players they don't have to install anything locally. This is what my startup is building with our browser-games platform.

Dr Schafmeister is occasionally present on the LLVM Discord. The CLASP project is something else. That hour-long talk he gives on Youtube about it blew my mind.
Unproven (and unprovable)
No. This teaches scammers and customers alike that this is a risky business. Fining the corporate officers is almost certainly off the table, because Tether appears to be some form of limited liability corporation (but I don't know anything about the law in HK). Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. I'd hope the founders end up in jail for what appears to be blatant fraud... but chances are, they'll just move on to the next thing after Tether crumples.
I wonder if they actually implemented a single recommendation from their own report[1] since the last time they were instrumental in a genocide.

Regulating tech companies has bipartisan support, so it's an easy way for politicians to get things passed that will be popular with their constituents.

Unlike other industries, tech companies haven't banded together to create some SuperPAC named something like "American Association of Tech Innovators" to lobby/bribe politicians against regulating.

For healthcare, you have the vile "American Hospital Association" and "Pharmaceutical Research & Manufacturers of America " goblins trying to block any legislation that will lower healthcare costs at their expense.

For housing, the high costs are heavily affected by restrictive local zoning limiting the new supply of housing. The "lobbying" in this case is local NIMBY groups that every state/city has to fight.

For education, the high cost of college is due to the fact that the federal government originates/backs the vast majority of student loans. They basically allow colleges to charge whatever they want, pay them up front, and then it's on the federal gov to collect from students afterwards.

When they're effectively handing colleges blank checks, no shit they're going to charge the max they can get away with. It's so straightforward and infuriating that this point is rarely ever discussed in the debates around college costs. If these "non-profit" colleges (vast majority are) want access to that vast student loan money, they should have to play ball and only charge what the feds will allow. If they want to charge more, it should be their problem to find a way to get paid.
Because the "misleading statement" (i.e. deliberate lie) is the entire basis of Tether's business. The service they claim to provide is fiat backing for their cryptocurrency and they didn't do that. That's not "a few inaccuracies", it's fraud.
Why would I use this when Google returns fantastic recipe options at the top of any recipe-related search results page, including pictures, ratings, and an ingredients summary?
I wish those kinds of posts would explain what they suggest instead of JIRA. Because this makes meaning very different.

Get rid of JIRA, do not have any tracker at all, communicate things verbally only? I have seen this work very badly... things dropped on the floor, forgotten features for release. And it makes inter-team collaboration much harder: if you have a request for other team, you have to either attend their meetings, or ping them in person with "how is the progress" questions... which makes it easier to just ignore other team and do the thing yourself.

Get rid of JIRA, replace with other "Agile-oriented" ticketing system? I haven't seen those in action, but that would be an interesting blog post to read.

Get rid of JIRA, replace with other simple ticketing system like TRAC, Trello, or Github Issues? Meh.. You can duplicate parts of JIRA out of anything -- even in github issues, you can make a label for "sprint" and define "epics" using tickets which reference each other. Or you can prohibit regular people from creating tickets.

Get rid of JIRA, replace with ad-hoc things like email inbox, google doc, or a wiki page? I think this works when there are only a few people, but once you have more than half a dozen you really need a good discipline to avoid making a huge mess.

Get rid of default JIRA setup that some Agile coaches talk about? That would make much more sense to me. Wouldn't make a very catchy blog post title though.
> she was ordered to go work on a computing effort, it wasn't her choice

To be clear, Dr. Grace Hopper is not the only woman who worked on computers. This was a general field post-WW2 that women were encouraged to go into because they were seen as natural fits, even as men started to come home from the war. It was only after computing started to become more "respectable" that it started to shift into a more male-dominated industry.

There may well be natural differences between sexes in preferences (either biological or social), but if your arguments about how those differences are "obvious" aren't actually predictive, and if historically those exact same arguments have been used almost verbatim to explain trends that skewed in the exact opposite direction -- then at that point I think you're talking about a pseudoscience.

You want to research sex difference? Well, part of examining a hypothesis is looking at whether it actually holds true and is useful as a predictive tool. If you balk at the idea of questioning whether the trends you're trying to explain are actually universal or whether they're cultural, then that you're not really doing science.
