>When I did the research for a book called The Myth of Male Power I discovered a Glass Cellar that holds far more men than the Glass Ceiling. The Glass Cellar consists of the hazardous jobs and the worst jobs (minimum security, low pay, bad conditions). The hazardous jobs-or Death Professions-result in 93% of the people who are killed at work being men. Of the 25 professions that the Jobs Rated Almanac rates as the worse professions, 24 have in common the fact that they constitute 85% or more males (welders, roofers, etc.).

Also need to consider the other costs externalized on marginalized men. Men are ~5 times more likely to die from suicide. Men are more likely to be homeless. They are more likely to be pariah of society. They live 7 years less than a women when a century ago the difference was 2 years. These are all costs externalized on men based on the traditional idea that men are strong/privileged and need to "man up".
The reason HTML5 apps have proven not to be a full replacement for native apps is that no-one has actually tried it (on the OS side). Apple (weirdly) have come the closest, but there's still a hell of a long way to go. From my personal experience making webapps, the following is needed:

- Some sort of app store like central place of discovery

- Access to far more native APIs / intents. Control over elements like the keyboard.

- Fixed positioning (finally arrived in iOS5, not sure about Android)

- The ability to actually play an audio file correctly

- More control over video playing

That's just a short list but it goes on and on. There's absolutely no reason why an HTML5-based app can't be as good as a native one. I think that Mozilla are ideally placed to be the ones to try. I'm still amazed/disappointed that Google haven't.

I actually agree with your first statement - I saw that a few days ago, and I'm keeping it in mind provisionally.

As to the second point, humans are not very genetically diverse. Of course there are enough differences that we can sometimes conclude that a particular person's genes come from an ethnic group, but it's not as nearly as varied as even other primates. Basically, we hit a genetic bottleneck sometime in the past 100,000 years. So it's far more likely to be a result of culture than genes.

After learning several instruments, I am using this approach to learn piano:

-play 10+ minutes daily

-work through a book that interests me (boogie woogie)

-get the fingering right early - there are numbers in the book, hard to unlearn mistakes.

-use a metronome to find the weak areas and work until they are strong/fast/easy

-intentionally build muscle memory for arm/shoulder

-use uneven timing of notes to strengthen the weak spots

-play 30-40% by ear (ex: pandora, play along to each song.)

-occasionally play with a teacher to correct mistakes.

Then that stereotype is the problem that people want to fix. And then it becomes a chicke-and-egg problem: how do you fix the stereotype without having more women in tech? So you try improving things on both sides.
Did anyone actually read this article?

From the comments, I can only assume not.

He's asking women in tech to act as angels for other women in tech.

This does not seem to be what anyone here is responding to.

"My point was that HTML5 apps have proven not to be a full replacement for native apps."

Taking an all html5 approach is an interesting one, and has the straight up advantage of harnessing existing html5 developer skills. But performance and polish are important requirements, which so far I've seen only native apps deliver best. Let's see if Mozilla can make good on its bet that html5 can equal native apps. I'd be happy to see them succeed.

I'd pity them save for the fact that big oil has been 'blatantly manipulating the mob' for decades now, at the detriment to our environment.

The dangers of the mob are very real though, as many people's lives have been ruined (or nearly ruined) through some misinformation that goes viral.
Actually my intention was neither; I simply asked a question I am curious about the answer to.

Why is it a problem that nursing is dominated by women?
> What evidence have you found that suggests that women are systematically ostracized from I.T.?

It's pervasive in everything, even in the names of stuff. E.g. there's a recent programming language that calls its interpolated strings "G-Strings". That's the class name in the code. A method for finding out the length of the "G-String" was added, called "size", in addition to the existing one called "length". So...

assert "----V----".size() == 9

The language designers who invented those names had a good old laugh at the pun in the mailing lists. But female programmers are often offended, and have a case for having that language (and related web framework) banned from their workplace, in favor of another.

Wow. This is absolutely fascinating. With this campaign, Greenpeace has shown more Internet savvy than the vast majority of professional "viral" marketers.

I'm not going to weigh in on the moral aspects of this incident, as I don't particularly care. I'm far more interested in the mechanics of how this was pulled off, as it has huge implications for corporations, activists, and even political candidates. I could easily see some Obama supporter pulling something similar and creating a firestorm around the Romney campaign.

Love it or hate it, these tactics are here to stay. It will be incumbent upon entities with interests in online perceptions to guard themselves against these kinds of attacks and, should the pros outweigh the cons, engage in them as well.

When you say wheat, do you mean processed and refined flour? And by potatoes, do you mean chips and fries?

Potatoes are loaded with vitamins and minerals. Some of the starch isn't easily digestible and acts similarly to fiber (in addition to the fiber found in the skin).

The fact that they are little bombs of nutrition aside (along with sweet potatoes, yummm!), they will also keep fresh for months.
With their (partly) nonprofit status and history of open development, Mozilla is maybe the only player in tech that I _would_ trust with my information. That's why I find Firefox OS really exciting.

They have an interesting setup with a for-profit corporation (Mozilla Corp.), which is wholly owned by a nonprofit Mozilla Foundation. So as I understand it, they can make money, but are obligated to stick to the foundation's stated goals. Something like that... it sounds like a clever legal hack.

Pretty much all their development happens in the open, and you can read the details of everything they're working on on the wiki. https://wiki.mozilla.org/ And they designed Firefox Sync with end-to-end encryption, so they couldn't possibly read your bookmarks. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/mobile/sync/ You can't go farther to protect privacy than that.

As for the Google connection, apparently Microsoft (Bing) and Yahoo were competing for the contract to be the default search engine in Firefox, which is why Google ended up paying so much more recently (December 2011) than last time: https://allthingsd.com/20111222/google-will-pay-mozilla-almo...

I bet this is a big reason why Google is fighting so hard to get people over to Chrome. If they erode Firefox's market share enough, that price will go down. But so far, it doesn't look like Mozilla has made any concessions to Google. Rather the reverse.

I know a company that's building a mobile app and they're paying $150/hour (one developer plus project management) to a dev shop. At 8 hours a day and 20 days a month that's $24K/month. Put in an extra hour a day and you're there. Of course, the trick is finding clients willing to pay full rate, but if you're good they're out there.

"pitfalls that we know are there, drugs, debt....study or whatever"

Congratulations! Out of the infinite amount of things in the world that are good and the infinite amount of things in the world that are bad, this parent just taught the kid to worry ONLY about drugs, debt, and homework.

If there's one thing about children I can say without a doubt is that they are the ultimate copy machines. The thing they are completely focused on desperately trying to copy? Their parent.

So in reality, the best possible way for a parent to teach their children their dreams they want is to personally live those dreams. However, for 97% of people in this world, this so hard that they don't want to do it. Thus they choose the easier alternative - lying. This, ironically, then teaches the kid this technique as well since kids, well, copy them.
More or less. I also think that the issue isn't investing or the like. It's trying to discover what sorts of solutions are available to large organizational problems that make it hard for women to participate comfortably in tech startups. If Marissa Mayer had been pregnant shortly after her job started at Google, what would have been necessary to make it so she could have balanced work and family life better?

Right now we have this myth that companies are machines and parts are largely interchangeable, and that gender doesn't matter in the functionality of the part. I call this a myth because it is a model we use to think about business and make sense of it, even if it isn't literally true. Gender does matter. Parts are not interchangeable. And it might be better to think of companies as ecosystems rather than machines.

The question I have for women in tech is: If you could start a business that would different about the way it would be run? Forget all models of how things are done. What would you change?

I think that's where the solution is.

You're right about the lack of genetic diversity, but even that limited amount of diversity can result in drastically different personalities, tendencies, etc. For some truly shocking material on just how much of a role genes can play, look into the studies done on identical twins raised apart vs adoptive siblings raised together.

Mouth spray that gets you drunk in seconds but you sober up just as fast
Though most laptops I tried worked out of box with Ubuntu, I still agree that there are lot of work that can be done for drivers. I recently got my sister a laptop. She is non-tech but is perfectly comfortable with Ubuntu. The only problem she faced was with driver for the 3G USB data card she had. I'm hopeful if laptop vendors push Linux, it will solve such little issues with time too.

One thing that always bothered me is that its has always been hard to get a decent laptop without Windows. I hate paying for Windows which I had no use of, and got that removed as soon as I bought laptops. Even if I may not use Dell's install of Ubuntu and replace it with my own choice of distribution, I wouldn't mind them shipping Ubuntu, as overall I'm hopeful this would push hardware vendors to get more serious about Linux drivers overall.
1. Exists in Firefox OS

2. Getting there in Firefox OS, already impressive.

3. Not sure what you mean here... "fixed positioning" without context makes me cringe. (edit: Oh... position: fixed has been available in Android browser and Chrome for Android for... a long time. I'm sure it's in Gecko [that, and the demo shows Twitter who uses position: fixed])

4. Not sure what that means, but I'd like to think it's a priority.

5. Popcorn.js, while I'm not a fan, is something Mozilla is pouring effort into. MediaSource API coming out of Google looks to add an appendBytes (ala Flash) style API to Javascript enabling adaptive streaming.

It's getting there. :)
Er, I thought it was pretty well known that Google is an ad company.

G+ = Consumer profiling

Picasa = Get people sharing their photos on G+ (Now with tagging!) so that they can be profiled

GMail = Consumer profiling

GDrive = cannot tell since they insist on showing the pages in Japanese despite my browser telling them otherwise. But I wouldn't be surprised if they analysed your files for profiling (cannot read the japanese TOS to tell.)

GMaps = Location based advertising, consumer profiling

Android = Muscle in on mobile advertising and consumer profiling

Almost every one of their services can be tied back to "How can we improve our profiling of consumers so that our ad-networks are more effective"

No, I'm interested in building something useful for a reasonable amount of money. That's what I do: a simple exchange of currency for services rendered.

Is this about women in tech, or is this some nebulous thing about startups? Because I'm all for the former, and don't really worry so much about the latter.
I guess the interesting part to me is that, with the advent of news aggregators and social networks, the internet kind of removes the filter. A blatant lie can take off like wildfire and burn a lot of people before anyone can mobilize to put it out. Maybe I give journalists too much credit, but before the advent of the internet as we know it today, these organizations (whether big oil or Green Peace), had to filter the information through some sort of intermediary first. Now they have direct access to millions of people.
Any wheat and any potatoes according to people like Gary Taubes. Sweet potatoes are probably better than regular spuds. Wheat and potatoes are mostly just carbohydrates which, as explained in the video we're discussing, should be reduced. There's no such thing as an 'essential carbohydrate' and all other vitamins and minerals in potatoes and wheat can also be found in more than sufficient quantities in 'good' foods like meat and leafy veggies.

LOL so much bullshit. These papers are about shit nobody will ever use.
As importantly, they retargeted the marketing. The iPhone was introduced as an entertainment and Web device. Prior to this, all the major players (Microsoft, BlackBerry, and Palm, as well as carriers) pretty much worked under the assumption that "consumers" weren't willing to pay for "premium" phones, so smartphones before the iPhone were designed for and marketed to "mobile professionals" with features like personal organizers and push email. At the same time, "premium" $250+ iPods were flying off the shelves.

But competing music players at similar price points were not, so I'd still tend to give more credit to Apple's execution than its "vision".

Quickly clicking thru the options on this webpage will give you an idea on how automatic transmissions work in automobiles -- using the planetary gearset.

The core mechanic is the locking of different combinations of the gears. This is a completely different mechanic than in the standard 'stick shift' manual transmission, which uses traditional toothed gears meshing together.
Old people (older than 40, say) are way under-represented in tech. Can anyone argue with this point? We need culture change, and maybe even affirmative action to force the industry to open up to oldsters. (yes, I'm in the 40+ demographic) In fact, we probably need a whole army of old journalists and bloggers to celebrate the achievements of their beloved demographic, and to get indignant about the injustices when they occur.

And come to think of it, I haven't seen many black or hispanic coders lately. They probably need to impose their demands on the industry as well.

Just kidding. I'm against quotas for oldsters like me, or any other supposedly marginalized demographic. I look for people who simply excel at writing code and building products, which anyone can do if they devote themselves to the craft.
What's worked for me is a two pronged approach:

1. Eliminate from my life things which need my attention. I've found that I can only focus on two things at a time: one work thing and one personal thing. That's it.

2. Relentlessly remove distractions and focus on the one or two tasks right in front of me that need to get done. Only when those are done do I come up for air and think about what I should be working on.

Basically I think of myself as a processor with a tiny pool of RAM. I can only work on one thing at a time (my one work or one personal thing). I can keep one other thing in RAM (the remainder of my one work and one personal things). Trying to add another thing means that I need to start hitting disk and performance gets exponentially worse.
Shipping anything is a matter of knowing when it's good enough. Some people are good at deciding on the fly; others need to know ahead of time and it sounds like you need to know when to stop before you even start.

So before you begin something, decide what "done" looks like and learn to stop when you are in the "done" state. Sometimes, "done" changes. Not a problem, just understand what it means to be done and do that, no more.
It's fine if you wear wicking clothing. Riding means air is passing past you fairly quickly and you stay pretty dry. Sweat only hangs around and starts to smell if you're wearing something unsuitable like cotton.
It has also been found that diets high in cholesterol and/or saturated fat also lowers testosterone [1,2,3]. I think the best course of action is to reduce rather than eliminate. i.e. "control" your intake of cholesterol and saturated fats. Blindly increasing your intake of either (above acceptable levels) goes against many scientific studies.

Or the opposite is true. Maybe the breach was major and the "hackers" aren't in it for fame and glory. But cash. Number one rule of a "professional hacker"; don't leave foot prints. That means you sell off the data you copied. Piece by piece. Email addresses are the easiest to sell.

This is a great great point. "Done" changes sometimes, but it can also keep getting pushed back in favor of "one more addition." That happens to me a lot.
