Not to fight this battle with you in the comments, but a) you only get two kidneys but bone marrow is, like blood cells, a replenishable resource and b) it is absolutely, unequivocally the case that paying people for blood, plasma, and gamete donations (all of which we do, but we're circumspect about saying so) increases the amount of people who are willing to participate in blood, plasma, and gamete donation.

The biology of plasma is different than the biology of bone marrow, which complicates things considerably, but the biology of plasma did not solve the plasma problem. We used to have plasma shortages, too, because plasma donation is inconvenient and strikes some people as "icky." So we increased people's willingness to engage in it by using our traditional method of encouraging inconvenient, icky things: we paid them money.

What incentive would hardware venders have to provide open source drivers for a tiny enthusiast operating system? No other OSs have had that requirement. It's hard enough to get working binary drivers.

I don't think that all the Linux driver issues would be solved with the release of source code. Driver code already makes up a large majority of the kernel. The sheer amount of code contained in binary drivers would dilute the already relatively small number of volunteers available. The best way to increase the quality of Linux drivers is to get venders to invest more in Linux driver development. The only way to do that is to vote with your wallets by supporting Linux friendly hardware, and increasing the size of the Linux market.

Totally agreed about asking ten women about their experiences -- with the caveat that you need to do it in a way that they'll be comfortable enough to be honest with you. It can be really eye-opening.

Unfortunately as you say, in many situations becoming a better negotiator doesn't help. In the long term, the key is to find companies, managers, and colleagues who 'are' aware of these issues and work to do the right thing. Alas, that's easier said than done.

Good question. I've only just started to try and follow the more relevant people in the industry. At the time being, I've just followed a couple people that have had good blog posts I've seen posted on HN. That mixed in with a couple of my personal favorites:

kevinrose
cyanogen
marcoarment

But I've also moved a bunch of people I follow over to my G+ following account. It's just a much better format, and the content is pretty much the same. And threading is much nicer (@replies drive me crazy).
Yes, that's been examined and repeatedly discredited.
When gas stations advertise $3.69 in giant numbers over the highway, and only when you pull off the highway and into the station do you see $3.79 for credit card or $3.89/$3.99 for plus/premium, I do view that as a card tax. Maybe the CC companies don't, but as a consumer, that's how it feels.

Ask HN: Joining a startup for equity only
I recently joined a startup that I really liked. I accepted an equity only compensation with a significant stake in the company. They sent me documents to sign that have all the equity information and agreement.

Should I consult a lawyer to verify if everything is fine with the document? How do people handle such cases?
Thanks for explaining this!

This is why Flynn vs. Holder is so damn important.

If the goal is to actually save human lives, more people need to choose to let doctors invade their bodies to take the cells they need, take the time off of work, away from their goals, etc. The only way that most people could do this for a stranger is to be compensated. I predict great things to come!
As the “mobile Internet” becomes the Internet

This sounds like the type of thing you'd hear from someone who thinks the blue 'e' icon is 'The Internet'.
That's a major consequence, but I doubt it's the true cause. I think many of us (even women) have ingrained the negative stereotype of a pushy "bitch." When we imagine a particular woman as such, we do not consciously think about perpetuating any particular power hierarchy; we simply think that she's a "bitch". I'm not saying it's right; just stating the (obvious) facts.

My hypothesis is that the society unconsciously believes that aggressive "pushy" women would make bad mothers or would be otherwise somehow bad at raising children. But would they really? What if strong women give birth to natural leaders, to put it figuratively? Human societies have a tendency to place higher value on things like complacency and moral propriety, even if those things could be detrimental at the individual level, and a related tendency to ostracize those with high social intelligence or manipulative traits even though those traits could be beneficial at the individual level. What if the "bitch" stereotype is due to a similar effect?

EDIT: if you disagree with me enough to downvote this, I would love to hear your opinion on why precisely you disagree, so please comment.

From my male point of view, I would say our society celebrates women who are, so called, "sluts." They are the envy of many people, men and women alike. Nobody wants to be the religious nun doing valuable charity work that benefits the world, they want to be the next Kim Kardashian.

The women we place in high regard are women who know how to get what they want. If you ask a young girl today what she wants to be when she grows up, she will most often tell you she wants to be a celebrity – the most recognized group of women who fit that description. No one goes anywhere in that business by being passive.

Obviously it is a problem that exists. It is just a strange dichotomy where we, as a society, promote girls to be "sluts," while women still feel negative towards themselves to live up to those expectations. What can be done to fix the problem?

He's also failing to comprehend how large the user base is how much they organise and fight change already. The demographics are completely different.

> why does it run if the cellular antenna is disabled?

That's easy; they can't reliably tell between disabled cellular service and broken cellular service, and the carriers really want to know about the latter. Well, they probably could figure out whether service is supposed to be disabled, but the mechanisms that control whether service is enabled are, themselves, one of the things that CarrierIQ would be used to detect problems with.

> I have tried "building things" but I never know what to build and as soon as I get an idea everything seems too hard to implement and I loose motivation

Heh. You know all those developers who have all those github repos? _So many_ github repos! Quite frequently, half or more are abandoned projects that never came to anything, that [s]he didn't have the guts to delete. (I am no exception.) So don't feel too bad about that.

I'm not in a position to offer any career advice (being still stuck in the Java college world), but I'll say this with regards to trying to find something to build: don't look at it that way. I spent years going from project to project, never really caring, just trying to get involved in some open source project for the sake of getting involved. It doesn't work.

The adage that "the best hacks come from scratching an itch" is quite true, and important. If you want to make software that others will find useful, you have to put yourself in a position to need that same software yourself. That happened to me when I resolved (for other, more RMS-like reasons) to use only open-source software. All of a sudden, every time something irked my, I thought, "I can fix that!" And about 5% of the time, I actually could :P

You'll have to find what works for you, but basically, I'd advise this: focus on your own computer and what you want to do. Switch to an open-source, hackable OS and use, as much as possible, open-source, hackable software. Then try to get your computer to respond quickly, not use much RAM, be fancy - whatever you want to optimize for. That desire to have "the perfect setup", at least in my case, motivated further endeavors.

Best of luck.

ACH fees are set by Dwolla's banks that connect them to the fed network. ACH transfers tend to be free for the individual who is getting or sending money, unless you have a bank that charges you per transaction. ( think bill pay, or direct deposit).

While I don't know what rates Dwolla is getting, I'm going to guess that they're under 10c per transaction, and they may be as low as 1-2 cents per. I certainly hope they are for their sake.

What may save them a bunch, in cost and fraud, is if they can do the clearing between their accounts internally, and not hit the ACH network for most transactions.
FB's app is the product of a web-based service that's been transported to the mobile platform, while Path and Instagram are native to and created for mobile. While this is obvious, consider all the functionality that FB already had on the web that had to be transported into their web app; a ton of thought had to go into retaining FB's functionality along with the innovation inherently required of anyone who creates a new mobile app. The way they did this - while preserving their functionality and retaining FB's already established feel - itself required took much innovation.

Path and Instagram were created inherently for mobile, and have much simpler functionality models. I'm not saying that this should take away from the remarkable achievements that both have had, nor am I saying that FB's app doesn't need improvements, but perhaps that this is just an unfair knock on FB's mobile app/strategy thus far.

For example, the repealed Glass-Steagall Act.

This is a myth.

The repeal of G-S was not a cause of the financial crisis, and may have actually softened the blow:

"the left has simply offered no explanation as to how the merging of commercial and investment banks caused the current crisis. In fact, the evidence so far shows that Gramm-Leach-Bliley [that's the act that repealed G-S] has helped soften the blow to taxpayers by allowing commercial banks to take over trouble investment firms" (http://blog.heritage.org/2008/09/22/the-glass-steagall-myth/ )

That said, it's certainly true that in a deregulated market there would still be problems. For example, our institutions of private property fail to recognize some kinds of resources, allowing industry to externalize costs by way of pollution. Absent an overhaul of property rights (such that people would be able to have ownership of rivers, air, etc.), regulation is necessary to keep a lid on pollution.

I find its a far more a difference between "everything is about me" type personalities, and "it's probably not about me type personalities" than anything to do with gender. What I mean by this is the difference between people who think you drank the last coke to annoy them and people who think you drank the last coke because you were thirsty. I've found it with both men and women, one man I held a door open thought I was treating him specially because he was in a wheel chair. I hold doors open because it's a nice thing to do and avoids people getting doors slammed in their face, it's just good manners, if people want to think I'm doing it because I think that they are unable to it's quite fine by me.

I think you're over thinking it but it's good to be cognizant of other people's feelings, you'll go far further in life by catering to those who appreciate having doors held open and asking about weekends than you will by catering to the misanthropes who see ulterior motives in everything.

45 Classy Examples of Vintage Coupon Designs
Right. The way I see it, CarrierIQ gives carriers the kind of information that Apple could, in theory, gather quite easily. Maybe that was the idea behind CIQ? Just taking a wild guess.
I guess CIQ just happens to be the outrage-flavor-of-the-week. This looks so much like a public pile-on whenever Facebook screws people over with sneaky settings changes. The classic cycle plays: breaking news, genuine anger, hipster outrage, slow smoldering disinterest, and finally apathy and collective amnesia ... until the next outrage-of-the-week comes along. The Zuck was right: "dumb fucks".

If anyone is really all that outraged, what concrete steps have they taken to make sure this crap gets sorted out?

Oh and BTW, do you have a link confirming the _formal apology_ ? Couldn't find it with a simple DDG search. Maybe my search vector was wrong.
I think you'd be pretty safe to generalize that out from men to society at large. In most cases, women are shunned for being individuals and taking risks. A girl who is slightly different from her peers as a child faces far worse ridicule (most of it being from the other girls) than a boy who is equally different. Both of my sisters experienced this in all of their schooling while my brother and I managed to be fairly popular, even though all four of us were known to be odd.
It's a bit disappointing to see "Japan" (where I live) as part of "rest of Asia/Pacific" while UK gets a entry all for itself. Japan is one of the most active technological hubs in the world, it deserves to be treated a single location.

In addition to our core course, we also have an awesome mentoring program run by our alumni. You can get details about that here:

Keep trying the puzzles. If you are really stuck you can always look around GitHub for solutions written by other people, or jump in #rmu on freenode and ask for help. Of course you don't want to look at other people's solutions if you are applying for the core course, but asking for help with problem definitions is totally fine.
An astounding conclusion!

(Sorry, couldn't resist.)
That's an absolutely great point. What if, for example, prices for things like conferences were lower for women? I'm sure that even men would appreciate a higher female-to-male ratio at such events (and women would not feel like black sheep being there). In fact, this is such a win-win scenario that I don't understand why this is not being done currently.
From a quick glance, looks like a solid company.
