readwriteweb.com is useful if you're interested in startup news. They've had a lot of really good coverage of SXSW, and have had a lot of good insight into Apple, Pinterest, Facebook, and Google's social strategy lately.

Some days I'll go and not see a single article I'm interested in, but there will be others when there's 3-5 compelling articles that teach me something about the industry that I didn't know before, simply by presenting something from a different angle.
I don't think that they assumed that all the attendees will be male, they only assumed that most of them will. Similarly, they didn't assume that everybody likes house music ( or whatever genre of music "Live DJ - Let great beats get you in the groove" refers to ) or dark chocolate, they just assumed most people do.
I'm a guy who in more of an IT role with alot of women (probably a little less than half the people here) -- so I guess I come from a weird perspective. My sister is an engineer/designer, so I've heard her perspective on this as well.

The issue with this kind of behavior is that it intimidates and/or repels professional women. It doesn't set an appropriate tone.

If you were a woman with a degree in CS who was potentially interested in seriously participating in this event, would you want to to hang out with a bunch of beer-swilling jerks making passes at barmaids? Do you want to be one of a small number of women serious about hacking, feeling inadequate around the girls with tight tops with the beers? Probably not -- but that is the picture that the event organizers were painting.

It's not a matter of bringing in the "PC police". It's about respect.
Even if you adapt toward peace, the transhumanist with the giant robot dong might have a reproductive advantage over the guy who opts not to be modified (I am making some pretty broad assumptions about the desires of women, but I think that history will bear them out, and anyway, this is just an example).

That said, I don't think maeon3's "genetic transhumanism" view of the future is terribly plausible. Modifying ourselves? Already started. Flexible genetic modifications that can do things like giving us magic laser-scatter-vision? Not plausible.

No. I read that article and it did not even hint that the WHO endorses the thing that the GGP suggests. Plus the evidentiary standard even for Internet discussion is higher than this. One can't say "a paper was suppressed, somehow I magically saw it even though nobody else did, and therefore you cannot refute my on-its-face improbable statement."
This posting is very misleading. It neglects to mention that in Norway, your tax return is not public. Only your income, your net worth and what you paid in taxes.

Practical example of a famous quote

There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation and naming things.

-- Phil Karlton
Sorry, I can't tell if you are agreeing or disagreeing with me.
My position is that the study authors are suggesting a cause and effect relationship which is not supported by the evidence. From the article: "Based on their statistical analysis, the authors conclude the economy is the strongest influence on the public's acceptance of climate science". They only found a correlation and like you say correlation != cause & effect.
This is an ill-informed perception of nicotine. Nicotine is actually acutely lethal in extremely small doses. 75mg (the equivalent mass of a baby aspirin) of nicotine is above the LD50 for human non-smokers.

Proper cache invalidation, which isn't just hard but, damn hard sometimes.
Ask HN: Should software QA people be able to code?
I have always expected that people dedicated to software QA are able to write code. Not large, complicated systems. Just straight-forward procedural scripts in a well-known language.

Am I asking too much?

It seems to me that without that knowledge, you lose a lot of perspective on how software works. I think you also possibly miss opportunities to automate some of your most tedious tasks.

If you have a long running sitcom, what you're saying on a weekly basis provides a frame of reference for jokes. The audience knows what to expect.

If you're adding a joke to a simple advert, there's absolutely no way you can predict the way something subversive will be received .. especially when the object of the joke is an under-represented key part of the audience.

Very silly mistake.

How to Make a Business Mentoring Relationship Work

Hurting gender diversity isn't the issue. That's a consequence of being a jerk. The problem with being a jerk, is being a jerk.
The margins on software and services are many multiples greater than consumer electronics hardware.

If they make $20 net revenue per phone sold just imagine if they can make another $20 net from revenue shares by way of Dropbox, LogMeIn, and other ancillary bundled services.

That secondary $20 would double their net per phone which would be transformative for their business.

Additionally, services create data and service lock-in as users move from older devices to newer devices if their platform makes migration within the HTC brand seamless.

The only thing they're sorry for is the quick, efficient and brutal backlash they were rightfully subjected to. All the "we wanted, we decided, we aimed" self-centered nonsense only solidifies the belief that it's all about them and they're unable or unwilling to understand why people are upset when being known for having a loose atmosphere at their events was what they really wanted in the first place.

And when I mean loose, I'm referring to the immature and douchebag activities best represented in the bro-party video genre. In retrospect, they should've doubled-down on stupid and pitched the event as being just that, instead of employing the guise of a hack-a-thon. Although it would've gone a lot smoother for them, it's obvious they would've failed there as well due to their incompetence, but at least they wouldn't be known as a couple of liars for some time to come.

Oddly enough, this blog post must be hard to find, as their website makes no mention of their catastrophic implosion.

Thing is, it's not as easy when you already feel a bit marginal. Women are definitely the minority at tech events so 'fighting back' in this way takes a lot of guts.

I try to put myself in the mindset as follows: I'm a white guy. If I were in a club that had 90% black patrons and some people were making jokes about 'whitey', I don't know if I'd want to speak up in that environment. Even if the jokes are not intentionally intimidating, and I'm technically 'in the right', it's still going to feel intimidating pushing back and standing out.

I imagine it feels similar for a woman in a 90+% male environment pushing back against jokes like this. There's the uncertainty of 'am I overreacting?' and 'how will I be perceived if I push back?' weighed against wanting to speak your piece.
Technically they're not umlauts. The ä and ö are separate letters.

I'll say this about HTC:

The last phone I bought was a Legend...and I'm still rocking it. It's my daily use, so it's been dropped, forgotten places, thrown around, banged around, kidnapped by a dog, you name it. Sure, the specs are dated and it's only running 2.2. But I walk around with my laptop, so all I need my phone for is calling, texting, emailing and tethering, which it does easily. The styling has even held up; it gets a look or two from iPhone users and their ubiquitous rectangle.

All this is to say, I'm in the market for a new phone and haven't really come across anything that makes me want to retire this thing. Mostly too big, too "cheap" feeling, too expensive; just too much going on in general. But based on my experience with this phone, if HTC can do something impressive with the software, I'll buy again. Hell, having a decent DSP is enough.

Who said anything about changing society? There are ways to attract more women to your conference, and hiring beer ladies and playing them up as a perk is almost the exact opposite of that.

Right, when I got my current gig, I took a HUGE ego hit because I went from just committing stuff to getting absolutely everything code reviewed, and that means bugs in my code were pointed out before I'd had a month to think everything I'd done earlier was crap :) You definitely need to be more to yourself to weather harsh lessons.
Here's a trick for finding out if something is sexist, which can also help you understand why it's sexist. Replace "women" (and "female" etc.) with "black people" and see if it suddenly sounds incredibly racist.
While Bill Maher may or may not make good points, I'm not naive enough to think that he's discovered some sort of thing intrinsic to everyone with a penis, nor to think that he has some great insight on sex, sexuality, gender or much of anything else.

I don't work all day with "a bunch of other men". From a literal standpoint, my workplace is about 1/3 female. It's a small shop, but out of the 4 people writing code there, one of them is female. Even if that wasn't the case, it wouldn't be something I even thought about too much, because when I deal with people I tend to view them as people, not as points on a gender scale.

Maybe I'm just much more left-brained than most people I know. I get absorbed in my work, and I get absorbed in discussing it with peers, regardless of their ... well, anything. A large part of the time, I don't know if the people I'm talking to in those discussions are male or female or whatnot. Their sex is, frankly irrelevant when it comes to the stuff we're doing. Variety and diversity are good to have, but I don't think humans are so static as to be boring because of a ratio skew. Because they're people. Not genders or sexes.

I'm not "apologetic about my manhood". I'm "someone who treats humans in the same manner unless they give me reason not to, and calls out pointless things when he sees them". I also do not happen to fall very much in line with western male stereotypes. I never have. I was not raised in anything near a home that thought that feminism, particularly the more recent waves of feminism, had any sort of legitimacy, I know about that school of thought, and others that have had influence on me because I read a lot of books as a kid.

Something being sexist doesn't mean that someone is necessarily consciously or purposefully stomping on or belittling some other group of people. It means that there are needless disparities about something based on sex. Thinking that a conference would be better just because it had more women or less women or more men or less men or more hot vapid men or women or more people of sex B for no reason other than because there aren't any there is sexist. "Sausage fest" has pejorative terms. It's normally used to refer to keggers, not hackathons. People who go to keggers at least can know that part of the reason people go to alchohol-fueled parties is to find sexual partners, giving at least a reason for the term. Not hackathons.

There's nothing intrinsic about having a penis and testicles that makes me less of a person if I don't fit into the behavioral profile of the ideal western male. There are 7 billion people, even assuming biological trends in behavior directly linked to sex that are unaffected by cultural pressure, that's more than enough for it to be ridiculous to try to shove all of any group of people into an absolutist box, and tell them they sound like they feel sorry about some intrinsic thing about them.

If you're getting bored just because someone with different jibbly bits isn't around, I would suggest finding something that isn't so boring to do. The world's a fascinating place.

Little Bobby Tables apparently has a norwegian cousin
A: That guy is not pleasant to work with and needs management. I've worked with people who were like him, but their subject of choice was WoW.

B: Either he's capable of keeping his eccentric views to himself when dealing with customers or he's not. Whether it's supporting slavery or Bush 43, he can ruin a business relationship by expressing that view at the wrong time.

C: Again, he needs management. Does his view negatively affect his capability as a manager? What if he's an evangelical Christian and he has gay underlings?
You did a very good job of illustrating the slippery slope that we open up when policing ideas and the issue being where do we drawn the line.

This is article is a bunch of unrelated nonsense
I actually don't think these high-level things are the fragmentation that matter. The fragmentation that causes delays are based on adapting the code to hardware. Things like releasing a phone with an 8MP camera, 720p recording and HDMI out running eclair and then having to rewrite that support the "AOSP-way" when froyo and gingerbread and ics finally add support for the same features to AOSP. That's the part of the "skin" that's the problem not things like widgets and more purely-software things. The challenge is that the market advances hardware faster than Google makes code available. The only way this can be resolved is if AOSP is developed in the open rather than behind closed doors. AOSP has a very strong case of NIH syndrome--but mostly because its impossible for them to share what the Nexus team is up to. Alternatively everyone could just build phones only based on Nexus chipsets and features, (but that's not possible either since the Nexus hardware is also kept under wraps during development and building new phones based on last years model isn't going to work in the market).
It is so true, but no matter what I have not found a solid solution. Maintaining a quality standard just is not enough. The best solution I have found is to fluff the initial expected time. At the on set it looks way off, but in reality we are always pretty close or deliver slightly ahead of schedule, which is never an issue for anyone.
Is this magnet powerful enough to damage magnetic media (HDDs, Tapes, etc)?
I can see some use for this in transferring large files (for example virtual machine images) between my own computers which are sometimes connected by wlan, lan and sometimes just wan.

There are cases when I don't want to be waiting for the transfer to complete. Would be great if I could just take the laptop and finish the transfer over the internet later on.

User experience should be simple. For serious syncing I would use some other tools. I'm thinking something like right clicking on folder to make it "available", then on some other computer selecting which folders I want to download.

Some clever combination of web and client software could make this pretty smooth.
