Women and men are raised differently. Things that come natural to you, having been raised male, do not come naturally to a large number of women. Examples include how to make eye contact in an interview and how to shake hands properly. It is very common for women to be raised with an attitude of quietly waiting to be noticed, rather than pointing out their good traits and skills. This can leave them a bit lost when it comes to an interview, which is essentially the time to brag.

Aside from childbirth itself, women are far more likely to be single parents than men are, and are normally the ones to stay home with sick children, especially when there is a long-term disease involved.

Many women end up dealing with multiple name changes, across degrees and sometimes projects.

Of course not all women lack these skills, we would never pretend that to be the case. But the ones that do are at a distinct disadvantage, and there are more of them out there than you realize.

Who would you turn to if you didn't even know that your handshake felt like a dead fish and you never once made eye contact with the hiring manager? That kind of feedback doesn't exist after interviews.
For insults, please refer to the other comment at the same level (which I upvoted and support).

I'll go even further and state that people like you are responsible for the situation. I live abroad and can tell you that latent racism kills all the respect I could otherwise have for Thai people. I'm not silly so I'll move back to France in the coming months (as a direct result of the above). Unfortunately for them, French of foreign extraction don't have the opportunity I have. I'd forgive them if they burnt the bulk of Paris: they are human beings and are being bullied by a society as a whole.
I don't think for a second that SPDY is having the adoption problems of ipv6, SNI issues aside.

Google being able to modify both the client (Chrome) as well as few fairly significant server installations has kind of helped there a little bit...
Except that number is for the US McDonalds. The French numbers would be +33 1 30 48 65 28 or +33 1 30 48 60 00 as stated on the contact page.

"I don't have the resources to take on a branch of a large multi-national corporation operating in a distant country" - doesn't really cut it when the contact page and number can be found on the Internet in 2 seconds of searching.
> This is a win for privacy, as you will know if you have ever taken the time to actually examine the cookies on your own machine.

Most of the cookies I've seen are some kind of hash.

> Second, it allows the client+user to decide if it will issue anonymous (ie: ever-changing) session identifiers, as a public PC in a library should do, or issue a stable user-specific session-id, to get the convenience of being recognized by the server without constant re-authorization.

> Today users don't have that choice, since they have no realistic way of knowing which cookies belongs to a particular website due to 3rd-party cookies and image-domain splitting etc.

I don't see how this makes sense - what's the difference?

Assuming that the session identifier is different between sites (if it's not, then the user has no option to "remove cookies" for a single domain without deauthenticating everywhere, and it's harder to determine which sites are tracking you):

- There will still be third party domains involved, since advertisers will still want to correlate traffic between domains;

- Sending a new session identifier with every request won't be practical, because you won't be able to log in, but users will be able to set their browsers to send a new identifier when the window is closed or whatever... just as they could currently configure their browser to
clear cookies at that time.

Also, anyone who wants to abuse cookies can just use localStorage.

> But the only reason HTTP requests don't fit in a single packet to begin with is cookies, get rid of cookies, and almost all requests fit inside the first MTU.

Surely it's still useful to deflate things (user-agent...), though, and then what does it matter?

> Finally, eliminating cookies improve caching opportunities, which will help both client and server side get a better web experience.

How so? The server is perfectly justified in sending different content based on the session identifier, so wouldn't a proxy have to assume it would?

But if you want to say the result doesn't depend on cookies, can't you just set a Vary header?

> It is trivial to write a module for apache which simulates cookies for old HTTP/1 web-apps: Simply store/look up the cookies in a local database table, indexed by the session-id the client provided.

Eh... okay. This still breaks anything that uses JavaScript to interact with the cookies.

Hacker News is not a place to discuss or engage in partisan politics. Criticizing attacks on free speech is great. Blaming people of a certain political persuasion for problems and (especially) furthering those arguments with juvenile sarcasm have no place here.
I wasn't really meaning I was going to only rely on personal observation per se, I am just saying that humans are intrinsicly historically wrong about everything.

We have already sent probes beyond our system and to many planets within our system and we only discovered FLIGHT 100 years ago.

Just imagine 1,000 years from now.

I think it's just as likely that technological development will follow an S curve as remain exponential. Look at Moore's Law -- the laws of physics provide a hard ceiling for certain kinds of technological progress.
We will not turn men away, and they are of course welcome to the information that we're going to put out.

We chose women because that's what we are and because we wanted to target some of the issues specific to women. A LOT of the information we will be putting out will apply to both genders.
Interesting, thanks!!!
Why blame the technology, when the real problem was the person that made the decision to use it?

Yes, depending on the drink. You could probably safely forge the accounting for that stuff though, and if not, that stuff is ultra cheap anyway. Soda-water, ice, fruit, etc could all be pretty much ignored.
* There is probably technology in the armed forces so advanced that most people do not know about it.

Clearly you've never been in the military! While, of course, there are technologies that most people outside or the military don't know about (most people haven't the slightest clue how a digital watch works either) the idea that the government has some super secret flying saucer technology that betters the average MIT students phd thesis is as absurd as UFOs being anything more than the human need for attention and finding agency where there is none.

The government would like you to think it has super secret technology.

Can we please keep this nonsense off hacker news.

It would be better, if my goal was to know these languages. But, as I've said, I don't much care about that. Learning languages is an intellectually stimulating, past-time activity. If I learn something, great. If I don't, also great.

Also, I don't like planning too far ahead. Usually, I draw the limit at about 1 month, so 12 years is a very very long period of time.
> Calling .get() on a dead server returns None on failure, the same thing that is returned when there’s no value.

I suppose they were doing a .get() to check if the server was still up, and assuming None meant "there are no values to get, but the server is up". If .set() works in the same way (silently failing) they were essentially using /dev/null as their task queue. :)
These guys are so one dimensional. If it's not an algorithm, they have that deer in headlights look. For all the stupid interview questions they throw at you, they sure make a lot of mistakes thereby begging the question: the puzzle interview questions are indeed a stupid way to hire or they're just not that bright outside of algorithms, ability to solve puzzles notwithstanding.
The incredible learning machine
The problem is that this is not Java specific, rather enterprise specific.

Before Java EE, I was coding similar type of applications with CORBA frameworks, and before that RPC frameworks.

Now I am doing .NET, and we have to use a Java EE like framework as well.

Enterprise architecture has a Midas touch to make everything complex.
For each of these issues I can come up with a counter-point but it won't really solve anything.

I agree that having this information available is a positive thing.

Limiting it to either women, or even women in IT seems to be part of the problem (not the solution), in my opinion. By all means, market a generic series at women who may be having these problems, but I fail to see how limiting the audience to ONLY women stands up for equality.

I'm working on-and-off on something similar, would you excuse a few questions?

Is it statically typed? Do you have ADT support and/or an object system? GC / refcounting or manual memory management?

How are you implementing bind() and currying in a compiler? I'm targeting x86 and my approach is to make little stubs on the heap that push a single parameter, then i can throw them around as ordinary function pointers (lambda lifting every single parameter rather than looking up things through environment pointers at runtime). The problem with this is that i end up with a huge amount of small fixed-size objects on the heap, which is a little less than ideal but at least i can write a special allocator for that case.

EDIT: Upon a little background reading (and your illuminating february blog post on concatenative languages) i realise you're probably referring to Kitten, in which case i'm not sure any of my current questions are remotely applicable.

An interview with Stephen Hawking was recently posted to HN. In the interview he states that UFOs are only witnessed by crackpots and that the laws of the universe prevent interstellar travel.

The "crackpot" statement aside, I think it's incredibly disturbing that a scientist of his stature makes absolute predictions like we'll never travel to another star. I believe he is pretty good at his job, but saying something is impossible -- based on our current understanding of physics -- seems silly. No one in the physics community could say that our understanding of the universe is complete. The most prevalent theme in physics today is still the incompleteness of our understanding. We can't reconcile our understanding of the largest things in the universe with our understanding of the smallest. Although we can measure gravity, predict and observe its effects, we have no consistent explanation for it.

I'd say that thousands of years of fiction (speculative or otherwise) remain largely unaffected by hundreds of years of physics. Our understanding of the universe is still in its infancy.

We also have a history of having our deepest beliefs overturned by progress. Why would the beliefs of the late 20th century be any different?

[Edited for language use]

[Edit]

He dismissed the idea of time travel in that article, not interstellar travel. My criticism still applies.

Let me see if I understand you correctly.

Women are raised differently. Clearly their fault.

Women are treated differently just because they are women. Clearly their fault.

The industry shows a universal shortage of women. It couldn't possibly be because of strawman-punching attitudes like yours. Clearly their fault.

In other contexts this is known as "blaming the victim" and it is generally considered to be a) piss-poor reasoning and b) even offensive.

You can add a concept of session without removing cookies, which are trivial to keep supporting since, as I mentioned, browsers will have to support cookies for legacy sites for a long time anyway.

I doubt the security argument amounts to much, considering that there are few sites with cookie-based vulnerabilities, it's long been trivially easy ($_SESSION in PHP) for any site to use identifiers as cookies, and many of the sites that are vulnerable are the kind of old-fashioned things that will never be upgraded anyway.
I don't think there is anything difficult to deny for skeptics. There are fundamental, and very serious problems with the whole ET visitation thing that make the whole thing just untenable. Where are they? I mean this would be a "big freakin' deal". The idea that the government could cover this up is ridiculous. World governments can barely keep secrets from eachother. You'd have to believe in basically MIB and neurolyzers. The physics of this ... is basically an appeal to magic in the guise of "advanced technology"
(and don't give me the whole "any sufficiently advanced technology ... line). Now, it seems to be a big coincidence that there are many, many definitive hoaxes, I
mean admitted by the perpetrators, but yet that the phenomena is still exists ("Sure we have faked this thing a million times, but it just so happens that it's real, I promise").

So we have to believe 1) ET doesn't want us to know about him and 2) ET is mega advanced but is so stupid that a bunch of rednecks and believers in woo/psi have discovered him (not that every "believer" is like that but clearly Joe Bob has discovered, so ET is evidently a mega physicist but sucks at basic hide and seek even with dimension traveling technology?). It's just too much nonsense.
I hope so, because I like Mint a lot more than regular Ubuntu.
Again, let me see if I have you right.

A project launched by women, aimed at women, because women are an observable rarity in our industry ... is against equality.

This isn't affirmative action. It's not a hiring policy. It's a private sector effort by interested individuals who want to help others like them.

Well, roughly and someone may have a better answer. Data is collected in a structured, systematic way, and the sample is carefully chosen. Anecdotes are not structured or collected in a systematic way, but worst of all the sample you've taken is the people who've chosen to speak up.

I'm French and have been living in Paris my whole life. In France you're not allowed to take pictures or movies of people without their consent. If you try to take pictures of strangers in the subway you will be heckled and possibly assaulted, and the police will do nothing to stop it.

I'm not defending my country here -- I'm a photographer and resent this a lot, this attitude is stupid -- but this is how it is.

> No one at an ordinary McDonald's would even notice such a device.

Every fast food and most retail shops now have "private security" who are untrained/uneducated people standing at the door and watching people come and go. I would bet none of them speaks a word of English so it's unlikely the letter from a doctor in the US meant anything to them. They felt entitled to prevent the taking of pictures in the restaurant and felt they were being played with false official documentation.

(Go try and take pictures at any McDonald's in Paris or any other fast food joint and you'll be met with extreme hostility, and possibly physical aggression).

This privatization of security is a very big problem and a scandal in its own right (the rule of law means the state has a monopoly on legitimate violence) and I try hard to never comply with what those security people tell me, and tell them to call the police if they're unhappy -- the fact is that they have absolutely zero legitimate power but since nobody knows it, they have a lot of semblance of power.

But I would be very very surprised if McDonald's in France (on the Champs Élysées!) had restaurants that were a mafia front. Undocumented labor is a more likely possibility, but again, no restaurant or in fact no retail place in Paris will let you take pictures inside their premises without a very strong confrontation. Go ahead and try.

Actually, no. People are people. We are not abstract logic machines, disinterested minds floating across a sea of pure symbolic manipulation.
