Wow, thanks for sharing that. I honestly had not thought of "running away" as a sustainable strategy.

To clarify a little bit, it's not so much as of pacifism not being a viable strategy, but that it is a viable strategy for individuals or small communities, but not implementable on a national scale.

Eventually, the martyrdom of a pacifist, while a tragedy on its own, is not detrimental to the meme of pacifism. I'd say it's the opposite. However, if a group of people that follows the meme of pacifism is systematically harassed, I'd think it would eventually be assimilated by the other group doing the harassing. Even if most of the individuals are not physically harmed, the idea of pacifism is the one that suffers.

But of course... geographic isolation may take you a long way, I guess.

I have a feeling I might use the "accessible" version of a page more regularly, if it were widespread enough for people like me who don't need it to be aware of it.
I'm not making any assumptions, I'm telling a story about what I watched happen first hand. As you say, you can split up your assets, that does help significantly. You can also put stuff on CDNs, that helps significantly too. Believe me, Twitter engineers are super smart and they've done all of this. But at the end of the day if your business model depends on people looking and interacting with your content, or if you just want your site to be super fast, having a loading spinner while you wait and download the rest of your application in the background isn't going to cut it.
Thank you!

We are actually working on improving Doodle or Die for mobile safari right now.
If this list[1] is even remotely up-to-date, I have to assume the answer is 'not very'.

There's a multitude of other shopping comparison sites out there that all do the same thing.

Historically I've always gone to shopbot.ca. When that failed I resorted to Canada Post Shopper (http://www.canadapost.ca/shopper/). I've never looked for any shopping advice or help on Google because it has ALWAYS been terrible. First by search stuffers and then by Google wanting a piece of the action, though it's notable that I see none of the shopping filler that the complainer does (maybe because I'm in Canada?).

I don't buy that Google has any significant stake in that space. Nor does their search "monopoly" (where monopoly is the most easily broken monopoly ever in the history of mankind) give them any great inroads.

Really seeing quotes of the original Google and the current Google is kind of humorously naive. They changed? NO KIDDING.

except in this instance it wasn't an assumption , it was a fairly obvious fact.
That's a really savvy point, but in case you've never used Mongo, it's _almost_ that easy.
Not that many.

Very simple statements...nothing too complex at all.

Probably under 200 transactions (including all expenses paid and income received)...if so much.
A man's opinion of what a sexist put-down looks like is about as relevant as what a civilian's opinion of what a battlefield looks like.
While you are correct in this instance, the original article is complaining about subtle inequalities that go unnoticed or tolerated by a much larger portion of the industry than just the "creeps".

And the existence of that behavior is an obstacle to increasing the share of women in the industry.
There's much more to this... A totally attractive guy (model-like) that emanates low self-confidence (shyness, bad posture, ...) could still have his comments perceived in a negative way (i.e. as being sexist, not compliments). So, I believe that we tend to judge this from the perspective of the perceived intent of the person making the comments. A self confident gut -> he's probably just being sincere -> cure. A not-self-confident guy -> he's trying to get something from her -> looser. (Probably applies with the sex roles reversed, but I have no actual experience to lean on).

At the workplace, the label looser is just switched for the label creepy/sexist.
I hear that. I think it's a positive step to have compassion for both sides in this workplace disagreement. And I sure don't mean to paint low-cut-shirt-comment-guy (LCSCG) as irredeemably evil.

The reality is, in the situation under immediate discussion he's in the role of the victimizer and he's crossed the lines in the workplace. Is what he did illegal or even fireable? No to the first, and probably not to the second. Does it mean he should never be allowed to work in his field again? Hardly.

But is it reasonable for him to be required have a talk with HR about what's 'OK' and what's 'not OK' when dealing with colleagues? I think so. Gaining a better understanding of the way your communication lands on people is a very important step in maturity and growth. Better he should learn such a thing later, in the workplace, rather than not at all.

And you're right - maybe he has a past history that drives him to behave the way he did / does. Perhaps earlier in his life LCSCG was victimized too. Perhaps he has anger or resentment against the popular girls who laughed at him or the football players who dropped his books in the mud and pushed his face in it. I don't know. None of us do.

Maybe LCSCG, and others in similar situation, can get some kind of help - coaching or therapy or socialization - that helps him interact with others in a way that's more resourceful. I think that's a result that almost anyone would support.
I don't know how old you are or in what geographical location you grew up in, but in my elementary school in the Midwest US, we were taught about the five senses. It was left at that. In high school biology, we were taught that everything we learned in elementary was wrong, simplified so it could be taught to hold our attention (a difficult chore with children).

This is where my teacher told us that we had more senses. Sense of pain. Sense of balance. Sense of electricity. I accept that there are more things that can be called senses. I also accept that there may be reason to teach them. However, there are a lot of things taught in schools, and a lot of things that are not. The concept of sense is important to know, but so are a lot of things. My school taught that there may be more senses, so I guess I might be confused by the notion of any educated person not knowing other senses exist. As a simple teaching method (keeping in mind public schools are mandatory and therefor must keep the students attention), "five senses" as an example works for children, and as a turn of phrase for adults. It's up to the educated mind to continue learning, and this is where schools fail.

Teach fact. Teach how to find these facts. Only get into the detail when there is something to be gained. Anything else and you risk losing your student. Like I said originally, people "know" there are more than five senses. The phrase sticks because that's what we learn as a child.
I did play the game and I do know what happened. I also think everyone is way overblown on this. IMO there are bigger fish to fry in the world then complaining about the ending of a video game.

I think the consensus is that the comment is not appropriate for a professional context.

As far as firing goes? I personally wouldn't fire someone for the first bullshit sexist remark, but I would make it perfectly clear that the next bullshit sexist comment would be the last one. I am not sure where the reasonable consensus is around that issue. I personally care more about the victim than the perpetrator.

Why do women wear low-cut dresses if not to attract male attention (in the majority of cases)?

So, I'm not going to agree or disagree with you, since I don't really know exactly what you're saying.

I will say this, though: there is professional attire for women. Generally speaking, this doesn't involve form-hugging clothing. A fitted women's dress shirt is not form-hugging, by the way.

Personally, I recognize that I have an unfortunate automatic physiological response to breasts. I've discussed this with female friends whom I've respected and liked strictly as friends. If exposed to low-cut tops, I find my eyes darting to them, particularly when I'm distracted or concentrating on some thought. If I were in a position where a well-endowed female coworker were wearing very snug or revealing clothing, I'm honestly not sure how I would handle the situation.
And if I win, you'll sign up for Budgetable? ;)
It's not the author's job to serve as a target for those negative behaviors. The responsibility lies with those whose behavior is unacceptable to find a way to operate, for lack of a better phrase, within expected parameters.
Hit the road Dogma
I have this new HP dm1 laptop running Linux (Ubuntu). It was really eye-opening when my wife said "I will never use Windows again!". The thing is I didn't evangelize about Linux at all. I just said: "This is the OS we'll use for such and such reasons". She loved it after a while. The problem with suspend/resume, right-click not working, and the computer getting slower after a while is a bit of a nuisance though...
They changed AFTER building up their business on users like you and I.

It doesn't matter how big Google Shopping is. It is misleading, and it places Google's own content above everyone else's.

You may not click on it, but your father or grandpa might.

That's all that matters. That's like telling guys building sites: go home, kids, you can work as hard as you want, but you're never going to the top of the page.

Google is bending over backwards to please Wall Street now. Which is unfortunate for a once great company.

And honestly, isn't that what we do here at HN: obsess over the fate of technology and tech companies?
When I wrote that I didn't mean it in a strict accounting sense, but in a holistic sense. ie, I don't see PG and Jessica buying a yacht with their YC earnings, but I can see them plowing the earnings back into the program. :)
I actually don't really get the game that much. I've played, it's kind of fun, but half the time people can't figure out how to draw the subject and just write it out ... literally, this happens about 1/4 of the time. But kudos to them for their success. I do question the $200 million and I can only imagine, as another user said, Zynga would try to transition users to their other games in the long term.
I don't see jQuery going anywhere any time soon. On the other hand, I don't hold out much hope for jQuery UI. The majority of the development effort appears to be going the way of jQuery Mobile these days. They're establishing useful conventions that are expected to eventually filter back into UI, but there have been other jQuery UI components under development for years now. Twitter Bootstrap appears to have most of the web momentum, and I think it will take a concentrated effort for jQuery UI to compete - even if they're providing slightly different functionality.
Good point; I think we would be having this conversation.

We would not call it sexism, as that's reserved for unwanted attention between the sexes, usually male-to-female, but sometimes reversed... but it would still be just as wrong.

I think we don't have more cases like that because LGTM people are in a minority, but that doesn't mean that an LGTM person can't make unwelcome advances upon another person; why would it? Of course they can.

Can you name something inappropriate from one gender to another that isn't sexist? Consensual sex with your wife is appropriate. Getting slapped on the ass by your SO is appropriate. Getting fondled at a concert by a member of the opposite sex..? Did you want that to happen? You did? Great! Appropriate. You didn't? Inappropriate. Clean and simple.

What else do you feel is sexual harassment but not sexist? Where is your line?
That's not what actually happens. Your query is lost. It's mind numbingly bad UX.
That's like calling Ebenzer Scrooge greedy. Bing and Yahoo don't apply.

At the same time, notice that neither Bing nor Yahoo have one of their own sites as the top result. The top result is Nikon.com in both cases. Not the same thing as Google.
If you comment on a woman's neckline at work, you definitely have a problem and should go out of your way to change your behavior and thinking.

Wow a person of privilege (male) feels uncomfortable when being asked not to do something that harms a person of less privilege (female). How difficult that must be for you. I really feel your plight. Asshole.
Athenian Democracy was not a rule of the people, it was the rule of a massive slave and underclass population by a tiny, exclusively male minority who happened to have a certain internal decision-making process.
I think that most of this is STILL true, even for many startups and small departments.

There are a lot of fundamental problems with our society, and studying this article may help people realize that.

This man should win an award for being honest.
As a CMU student who just took a leave of absence to join a startup, the one thing that really disappointed me was the total risk-averse mentality that exists at CMU.

Based on my conversations with other CMU alumni, I think there is a collective feeling that CMU students need to be encouraged to take risks, not the other way around. Fundraising campaigns like "Inspiring Innovation" and press releases with headlines like "Greenlighting Startups" are wonderful, but there's too much of a campus culture focusing on just doing whatever it takes to "get a good job."

Personally, I feel that it's the one place where CMU stays true to its roots: It was founded by Andrew Carnegie in 1900 as the Carnegie Technical Schools, and till date remains best at doing just that: being a technical school. That's why companies love to come to CMU to recruit: CMU students make great employees. CMU's doing exceptionally well given its relative youth, but I fear that if it keeps trying to be what MIT and Stanford were 10 years ago, it'll always be playing catch-up. As a university it needs to take a risk - a leap of faith.

On the bright side, having been in the Bay Area I've seen an increased percentage of CMU alumni come here and realize that taking risks isn't so bad, and then leave their nice job at Twitter/Facebook/Google/LinkedIn to go for it. It just takes exposure to the right environment for them to realize it. Hopefully as more and more CMU alumni are exposed to (and involved with) startups, they'll help bring awareness to CMU as a whole - I know I'm going to try my best.

Side note: In pg's essay, "How To Be Silicon Valley" (http://www.paulgraham.com/siliconvalley.html), he says: "The university is just the seed. It has to be planted in the right soil, or it won't germinate. Plant it in the wrong place, and you just create Carnegie-Mellon."
I think at some point Google realized that it could do a better job at answering certain types of queries for the end user than just showing them 10 blue links and this is the case when there's high shopping intent. If the end user (average) gets a better experience, then why is it wrong for them to promote G! Shopping? Also, Google has always maintained that it aims to organize the world's information. When you're shopping, that data can best be organized as a combination of availability, price, shipping options, etc.

Let's assume that your mom was shopping for the Nikon D7000 and only clicked on the organic results:

1st result: DPReview - Review site with comprehensive review of the D7000. Price/Purchase options at the bottom are not as comprehensive as on G! Shopping.

2nd result: Nikon - Bad pricing options, enjoy paying full retail.

3rd result: Amazon - Basically same as the 1st since Amazon owns DPReview but it's a good shopping option.

4th result: Wikipedia - No pricing options, pretty bad result if your aim is to shop.

Now compare that to the Google Shopping result: On the 1st click, I can see:
- Pricing options from many stores, including local ones that carry it.
- Aggregated reviews across the web (editorial reviews means from magazines/publications vs. user reviews from normal users)
- Seller ratings so I know who is reputable and who isn't.

At the end of the day, I think the average user would have gotten more information and more pricing options than if they had to click on a link to a bunch of different stores or third party sites.

I think it's fair to say that it's harder and harder to get to the top of Google without paying for it and the heyday of SEO-driven business models may be at its end in many categories.

Just my 2 cents.
> I don't know why GPU manufacturers are so paranoid.

I've read the reason for the paranoia around GPU drivers has something to do with modern GPUs needing so much controlling software in the driver that the competition could glean details of the hardware design from the driver source code.

I'm unable to find the source of this information. Can anyone privy to these sorts of details confirm or deny this?
How about .. embrace your femininity. The bigger the chip on our shoulder about being a chick in the workplace, the more we're told to "lighten up."

Plan the potluck - isn't it fun to plan things? Take the notes - aren't you super organized and taking notes anyway? If given a demeaning comment - sincerely and gracefully refute it the first time, replacing it with a comment about the quality of your work. And, seriously, stop wearing revealing clothes to work - have some respect and save that for your spouse!

This is not to diminish therealkatie's complaints, nor to say that every woman actually enjoys baking cookies, planning potlucks, or taking notes. I do, though, and I've never had a problem with respect.

I think we are all focusing on the wrong issue - that is whether this is real or fake. Who cares! What matters here is that this guy has come up with the idea of using robotic extensions of our limbs, powered by electric motors, to help us in achieving flight.

If we now switch to this mindset, the engineering and tools that we have today should allow us to achieve the desired goal.

So thanks for the hoax, Flying Dutchman - you have started something new here, and your name will not be remembered by what you did, but rather by what you did not and how others used your idea to achieve it.
"Writing code in your free time is different than writing code for a business on a team.... Managers and Sr. Devs have a very keen awareness of when they run into 'that guy'. No one likes them and they are toxic to projects. Managers and Sr. Devs want to be completing projects and not defending why they are using XYZ technology.... 'That guy' has a good technical ability but no business sense and usually ends up being let go."

Sometimes 'that guy' is calling out the emperor has no clothes, and no one likes to hear that either. 'that guy' probably has business sense too, but perhaps not political savvy, which you're seeming to put above actual dollars and cents business sense.

'that guy' may in fact have come up with a way to get a 14 hour process down to 30 minutes, but it would offend people who spent 2 months building the 14 hour process. Or 'that guy' might suggest some technology that costs 20% of what's being paid now by using vendor Y, but then the manager who's getting some freebies from a friend for pushing the business to use vendor X instead of vendor Y.

No doubt, sometimes you get truly 'toxic' people. Sometimes you're getting people upsetting the apple cart, and the rest of the team is invested so much in the current apple cart that no amount of business-oriented justification will overcome NIH, and eventually 'that guy' will either get on board with 'the company line', or will leave, possibly to a competitor that's more open to continual improvement vs protecting the status quo from "that guy".
I agree that there's no need for mischaracterization, but there is a need for people to jump in and say what they think. I'll try to explain why I thought you were defending sexist humor.

This is the line that made me think you were defending sexist humor: "I would be sad if my relationship with my coworkers couldn't handle, let alone thrive upon, humorous interactions."

Maybe you meant non-sexist humor that erroneously came across as sexist?
Yes, such as complaining about complaining about the ending of a video game.
This is the key, and the most valuable comment in this entire thread. Just like making moves on people, the smartest tactic is to go as far as you feel like going, carefully, until it's not symmetrical.

The women I work with in IT have had incredibly adult jokes made about them and vice-versa, because it's known and comfortable. If it wasn't mutual, you should know to back off, because they aren't going to lighten up.
Books by the foot
- Why do women wear low-cut dresses if not to attract male attention (in the majority of cases)?

It's none of your concern why a woman dresses the way she does. As long as she isn't violating company policy, she is under no obligation to justify her wardrobe to anyone else. And if she is violating company policy, that's between her and HR, not you.
Maybe not should, but could?

I'm not saying that it's their fault, but there certainly are ways to prevent what they're experiencing. We men have to deal with another type of assault, physical assault. Most of my male friends were assaulted in one way or another (in clubs, on the street, ...) before the age of 20, in Slovenia. Yes, we could blame other people, but a matter of fact is that we are more likely targets than women, and it pays off to avoid situations that could result in physical violence.
I just can't agree with you. Not selling could have been a big gamble in about 8 months if the fad cools down. I think it's a gamble for Zynga as well but they have the pockets to make such a gamble. The OMGPOP team has been around for awhile and have not had great success so I get it.

The bankers didn't waste money the gambeld and lost. The govs around the world wasted the money by spending on them.

The freedom to do these things led to the innovations over the centuries, its like evolution. Evolution is never the road to perfection but it adapts and gets better (slowly). If we would set everything else aside and only work on human survival we would in a short term make great progress but it would not be good longterm. Curiosity into all directions is better.
You use sophistry. Punches to the face face will make a cancer patient worse. In fact, getting the flu may kill them. The poster is not a cancer patient; presumably, they are a reasonable independent person with some self esteem. So they are capable of learning resilience.
