Personally I don't find it problematic to talk about female privilege at all. I think one has to be careful (just as women have to be careful talking about male privilege) but there are areas where it is so blatant and damaging that it must be talked about, particularly in areas of domestic violence.

When I was just out of college, I was (as a male) the victim of some pretty intense domestic violence several times a week for about six months. It was a very hellish situaiton, but one thing that made it a lot worse was the sense that if I went to the authorities, I would be blamed for the attacks against me. Yet I was assaulted with lethal weapons (knives mostly) several times a week.

Nobody can tell me that there aren't key areas where female privilege doesn't exist. The problem is that it is as invisible to females as male privilege is to males.
One thing to keep an eye on for Unix remote work is Red Hat's SPICE remote desktop protocol. It was originally meant to support remoting to virtual machines and the server thus built into QEMU, but there's also a standalone server now that appears as an X server to X clients, called xspice. xspice is still young and immature, but already packaged in Fedora.

SPICE also keeps coming up as a possible solution to the lack of built-in network translucency in Wayland, the technology many would like to see replace X down the road.

Especially with NoMachine's NX 4 going closed source (previous versions were partially open, allowing others to replace the closed parts and produce a fully open stack), I'm looking to SPICE as a replacement.

Beg to differ, but he wasn't flying the plane.

This is the heart of the problem. He wasn't actually 'flying the plane' (properly), but from what we can see, he believed he was, and the plane wasn't responding (properly).

So a checklist entry which might help needs the property "changes his view on the world".

I suggest "fly the plane" will make him reply "I AM!", and continue behaving the same, whereas "everyone in the cockpit states aloud the major sensor readings, and what the next control change should be and why until majority agreement" sidesteps the semantics of whether they are or aren't "flying" and might help.

I think you're only talking about the enlisted. It's different for officers. A lot of memebers of the military went through a service academy or ROTC scholarship, and the military has been known to pay for furthering education for its officers as well. I know for a fact you can get a CS degree from West Point because my brother has done exactly that.

There are buildings, filled with military research engineers, where the median rank is major and which are a lot like regular office buildings where all the engineers wear ACUs and salute each other in the halls.

EDIT:

Just ot be clear, these folks mostly aren't mindless, but I doubt that they would, on the whole, have any moral objections to implementing something like SOPA. A lot of them would see this as a reasonable way to deal with the Wikileaks of the world.

I would guess that some IT flight would occur, but mostly, SOPA will be (and it will pass) a bonus for lawyers. Nothing will happen for a while, some really egregiouis sites will get Great Firewalled. Then someone with really deep pockets and user-generated content will get sued. There will be a frenzy of removing blogs, sites with user-generated contents, etc etc. After a while, a few big sites will get enough lawyers on-board to censor user-generated content, and we'll be back in the situation of the 1970s, where a few large newspapers could have lively "letters to the editors" pages, but nobody else could afford it.

Let me start-off by saying that my notes on this are basically thought-up on a whim and should probably be considered as light remarks. My knowledge on what is and what isn't a startup is limited.

Notes on your definition:

You could exclude apple as an outlier by changing "in the next few years" to "in the first few years".

Concerning the significance of growing by a large factor; you might want to consider changing the absolute number to a recurring value. 500 users in the first year which turn into 5000 after five years is hardly significant. 500*5^5 = 1.562.500 is starting to feel significant. The actual growth factor per year might need to be altered.

"repeatedly grow by a large factor (5x or more)"

Ambitions and plans could be refactored to "aims"; if you're aiming to do something you probably have the ambition and you sure as hell need to have some plans or your ambitions won't go anywhere. Although it might be better to explicitly mention ambitions and plans.

In conclusion, my refactored definition would be

"A startup is a business which aims to repeatedly grow by a large factor (5x or more) in the first few (1-5) years.
He said "think similarly"; you said "think exactly alike." Those perspectives are similar but not exactly alike.

(Sorry, couldn't resist.)

Having people who like hanging out with each other is very important for teams, especially small teams at startups.
From PG's "Want to start a startup?"

"... a startup is a new business designed for scale ..."

more in context:

"...
The first component is particularly helpful in the first stage of a startup's life, when you go from merely having an interest in starting a company to actually doing it. It's quite a leap to start a startup. It's an unusual thing to do. But in Silicon Valley it seems normal. [3]
...

[3] Starting a company is common, but starting a startup is rare. I've talked about the distinction between the two elsewhere, but essentially a startup is a new business designed for scale. Most new businesses are service businesses and except in rare cases those don't scale.

Aside: Using the word "simply" glosses over the interesting bits.

Why did a pilot, a 32 year old, with Air France for 4-5 years, qualified to fly the A330 (for 2 months), with "under 3,000 hours of experience" [NYTimes] (so, a couple of thousand hours) not believe the stall warning? And what can humans do to guard against that?

That's an interesting question, "simply" doesn't do it justice.

You seem to be spending a lot of time making specific excuses to why you don't need to listen to an opposing argument. Perhaps you should realize that your inability to listen to logical arguments is a sign of a problem.

On the other hand, stuff like the causes of the salary gap, stereotype threat, and being expected to give up contact with your kids to be the one raising money to bring them up affect most adult men for most of their lives. (There's support out there for heterosexual men giving up their careers to raise kids but only so long as this decision is made by the kids' mother based on what benefits her personally.)

The wage gap is also curious because these days it results mostly from men and women doing different kinds of work, and campaigners demand totally different solutions for high-status jobs than they do for low-status ones. For stuff like tech industry startups there are lots of campaigns to include more women. On the other hand, if you take street-side trash collection (another job which is also largely male) instead there are campaigns for women to get the same pay for doing "equivalent" jobs like office cleaning.

Now, trash collection of this kind is an awful lot more dangerous than cleaning offices and this is both why it's better paid and why there are few women doing it; for various reasons people get more upset about a woman dying in a horrific industrial accident than a man so employers have an incentive to discourage women, and there's not so much social pressure for them to get dangerous jobs. Equality would require making people care more about men dying or less about women, both of which benefit men rather than women, so feminists go for the unequal option of paying women for doing less than men instead.

Edit: For example, if you play video games take a close look at the gender of the mooks that you kill en-masse. That's just one of the subtle messages saying that men are disposable in mass media.
Court oversight? In SOPA? Not AFAIK and that's why everyone is so pissed about this.
Just plain old awesomeness from Google...
What else can be expected from a bunch of old people who hardly understand the internet? When the internet to you is a search engine, Facebook and typing URLs into the IE6 address bar, I'm sure SOPA seems mostly harmless.

Let them plow it through committee and play their games. These are tumultuous times. People, globally, are unimpressed with leadership. This is being watched carefully by the public. Hopefully it will be a watershed event.

> I'll say this: a company's products are IMO a far better predictor of future success than any of its ledgers and reports.

Generally I'd agree. Although you get companies like Blizzard who (counter to usual advice) seem to put all their eggs in a couple of baskets, and other companies spread themselves way too thin. Titus' destruction of Interplay and Black Isles speaks of this; I don't think anyone has a clue of why Titus managed to pitch a profitable company into the dirt inside months.

Although again it speaks worlds that one IP (Fallout) was of enough value to resurrect a company from the brink of bankruptcy.

Hacking away at the Labs is awesome. This? It's just tinkering with the UI. There are a gajillion different key word searches they could do; tilt tilts the screen, scary ghost scream waits ten seconds and then flashes a scary ghost on the screen with a scream; etc etc.

And, while they're doing that, and Google just works for most people there are a small group of users who'd really appreciate better documentation for searching. Wanna-be power users need to know how to combine terms or have options or how to use stemming etc. I dunno why a single page of instructions with examples is so hard to get.
I agree with the commenter who points out that the culture is not dominant, and if it's that bad, it won't have much acceptance.

And all who care of the sexism in IT, geek culture, etc., should turn themselves to the core problem. Use the Japanese method: ask 5 questions "why?"

Why are geeks so sexist? They see women first of all as a sexual object.

Why they do this? Because this is what they want. They are sexually hungry young men.

Why are they sexually hungry? They don't have much dating and sex. I admit that some guys are ok in this area and just misbehave.

Why do they have issues? Because they're geeks, and geeks are uncool, not sexually attractive.

Now, start curing this issue, not telling them to behave.

If a person is depressed, up to having no appetite, it's a common complaint from the relatives that the sick person is mistreating them, doesn't want to talk, closes the door, etc. Do you think a depression can be solved by telling that person to behave? Or by telling "life goes on", "birds are tweeting, ha ha"? No. It still doesn't make that person's needs met.

Yet when it comes to social phoenomena, the treatment that is zealously promoted is to treat the outcomes, not the source.

So, I suggest to the IT industry managers: start making your nerds' needs met. I don't know how. Hire a prostitute? May be valid in some special cases. Make a dating event? Maybe. Hire a psychologist? Can be useful. Make a party with a most-women company? Maybe.

Basically, I think it's worth trying to let them have more dating and learn some social skills. (This all has to be in a very delicate way, of course.) But stop teaching people how to live. If you don't like how they behave, fire them, don't try to become a father who dislikes his son but keeps living together. (This is exactly what the article says: I hate this, but I stay!)

Solve the real issue, make their needs met.

I looked at MailChimp and the only reason I didn't go with them was to keep yet another service out of the stack. I'm not one to remember things easily so sprinkling bits and pieces of my structure around on different services is really limiting for me. That being said, I'm starting to see the value in using something like MailChimp and if I can't accomplish what I want in a few days with just PHP/Python, I might head there.
Yes, the one-mutation-one-death idea is vastly oversimplified when it comes to the real world, so I shouldn't have presented it as being more meaningful than it is. But while it can't be taken as a mathematical truth in the unsimplified real world, the "moral of the story" will holds (that worse mutations can't spread as far as less bad ones).

It's rather simple to prove in the simplified case, it's just a typical steady state assumption. If a population is in an equilibrium state, then the rate at which any mutation is introduced has to be equal to the rate at which it is removed from the population. So if one mutation has a 1% chance to kill its owner each generation, then to maintain equilibrium (in other words, to make sure the prevalence of the mutated gene in the population is stable), every time the mutation shows up anew, it must spread to 100 people, killing one of them. One mutation, one death.

Yes, that's super simplified, it neglects the possibility of multiple mutations, positive or neutral ones, back-mutation, interactions between members of the population, non-equilibrium states, etc. These will change the details of the math, sometimes quite substantially.

But the basic idea, that the worse a mutation is the less prevalent it will be, should hold.

Eric Ries has a good definition in the Lean Startup:

"A startup is a human institution designed to create a new product or service under conditions of extreme uncertainty."

Is every new company a startup? No, lots follow templates within fairly known parameters, such as Restaurants. The uncertainty isn't there to the same degree, and the offering is known. They are a new company, but not a startup company.

Is every old company not a startup? No, many have to deal with the innovators dilemma and as their main business face competitions are forced to confront uncertainty and create divisions to reinvent themselves, these divisions would be considered a startup.

Eric defines a startup by the uncertainty factor, and by the creation of a new offering from that uncertainty.

You can turn off the emails if they don't work for you. I find that the emails make sure stuff gets checked and handled in a timely manner. Most other tools require self-discipline from the rest of the team. They need to check whatever tool to keep on top of things. Most tools that don't have a "pull" approach have a higher chance of failing to be adopted.

I would say it's missing 7.5, 1996 public anonymous cvs. Before that, you were either one of the developers with a login or you waited until a source tarball was released. Which makes it really hard for outsiders to contribute because they're aiming for a moving target they can't see.

Torvalds was expressly trying to replace bitkeeper when he wrote git. And I'm not sure anything he said about other systems might be considered "inspiration".

But that said, git really isn't very similar to bitkeeper except insofar as it enables distributed development. Both model development as a forest of independent developer trees which communicate with each other through merges. But bitkeeper is still a traditional centralized server keeping a bunch of delta'd files.

I always thought most mobile operators offered a "please call me" service? In South Africa, you can send a 'message' using USSD (ie *140#<number>) to let someone know that they should call you. You have a limit of 100 a day or something.

Is this common in other countries as well? (Clearly not in India?)
Never use second person for UI, it's alienating because it subconsciously tells people that they aren't a part of the group and they don't belong. Studies show that conversion rates are much lower when you talk to people in second person for this reason.
