Have you ever been to UC Berkeley?

As a current grad student here: it's a fantastic research university and a beautiful campus, but the undergraduate experience is terrible. Classes are giant and there's very little faculty/student interaction, because the focus of the faculty is, for better or for worse, not on undergraduate education. Yes, there are some incredible undergrads and some great opportunities for the 0.1% of them who really stand out, and of course the grad programs are great -- if you look at the US News grad program rankings, Berkeley is top 5 in almost every discipline -- but overall the undergrad program is ranked just about where it belongs.

he used to have mojang.com/music/ which had lots of tracks he'd made and it was fantastic music for working to, then in mid 2010 he moved his website to a new server and didn't transfer it and hasn't re-uploaded it since (although he said he "totally should" 2 years ago https://twitter.com/notch/status/24599024779)

I wonder how many people are going to be sniffing the open network.
> If your listener depends on knowing the state of the triggering code, it is a sign your events are too granular.

That isn't practical debugging. If I'm debugging an event that was fired and I don't know why, or the payload doesn't match my expectations, it would be very useful to inspect the state of the triggering function and see where things went wrong.
Hi there. I wrote the post and just wanted to let you and the models know that I fully support them and their right to do whatever kind of work they want to do. I don't see them as victims and I didn't write the article to be a voice for them. I wrote it for myself, as a woman in tech. It's awkward when women are used at a tech trade show to attract men to the booth. And it's offensive when a company like HyperMac calls us crazy for pointing it out.

I've really enjoyed watching this app grow over the years and its storyline develop

I remember when it launched here after a weekend of hacking when the first barometric sensors came out

Edit: it looks like they did "Show HN" almost a dozen times so perhaps my first glimpse wasn't as special as I remember it being. http://www.hnsearch.com/search#request/submissions&q=pre...
Seriously, you submit everything your write here? What is your goal?

I want, you know, news relevant for hackers on this site. Not everything that was published on the internets in the last 24 hours.

If I were you I'd try to find more relevant sites, or maybe some subreddit.
The atmosphere appears to be a problem:

(In terms of what each sensor can do, so it is still a problem after you solve the alignment problems inherent in a million snapshots)
Loved the video of the landing with speech bubbles - it made a great deal of sense.

Stupid libgit2 Tricks: Cloning
Understood. Like you, I'm sure, I think I'm in the non-oppressor group. I often want to share my opinion in many of the posts about examples of tech industry sexism, but I never click the reply button. Even after taking a few minutes and thinking as logically and objectively as I can about the situation, I know that disagreeing that there was sexism involved will trigger an equally irrational mob response of downvoting my comment and accusing me of being sexist or being too privileged to even be able to recognize sexism.
This is not quite correct. It requires provable consent from parents, such as a written letter. It's not surprising that online services do not go through this process.

Again, the actual effect of the law is not what's written in it. The actual effect is that internet companies (like my startup) simply ban the under-13 set. And we just register people for bicycle races!
I'm picturing putting two little prongs on the front of this and having it use image recognition to fly up to electrical outlets and recharge itself while hovering.

Then it could fly indefinitely.

It was certainly the high end (I think the range was $20-40), but relatively common for graduate students (edit: in this geographic area).
I didn't mean to say individual workers at HyperMac are responsible for the sexism, but rather that the company HyperMac most certainly is responsible, esp. those in charge of that company who made to call to run with this marketing.

I feel this requires a very particular definition of “good.“
Don't we all experience moments where our jobs require things of us that our moral compass disagrees with? The fact that women were involved (which is incredibly vague by the way) says just about nothing of the women or men that find this kind of thing sexist.

It's not like sexism at tech trade shows is a new thing, but there always seems to be people to defend it. They are using naked women as attention-getting displays to sell laptop batteries to a largely male audience. Forget blaming the company, maybe they had to do it to sell their product, but surely there is some sexism involved here.
I interview Business Development people just like I interview developers. I want to see them "code".

I have them open up their CRM tool of choice. Then I have them explain their funnel. They should be able to step me through how they've setup their stages: Qualifications, Needs Analysis, Decision Makers, Value Proposition, Quote, Negotiation, etc.

Then I have them deep dive on a particular deal and have them explain each of these stages for this particular deal.

True, but VAT is pretty trivial as a percentage of my overall expenses. Completely swamped by other factors, like the difference in rent, and the fact that the transit is so good I don't have to pay to own/maintain/insure a car. I would guess I spend $500-1000/mo on VAT-applicable goods and services, so we're talking a difference of $80-160/mo compared to CA sales tax.
I don't follow. How would putting men in the same display change how degraded the women in the display were?
D'oh, sorry! Thanks for the heads up!

I just created a new "hr" repo in the "zetaweb" org on GitHub (technically it's Zeta Design & Development, LLC that is the open company, and Gittip is the product). Here's the updated application link:

Must support a large military? I think not. We choose to support a large military, far above what is necessary.

And for the questions of scale, I don't really see the relevance. Forgive me if I'm wrong on this, but don't states already do their own infrastructure projects (aside from once-a-century stuff like the freeway system/east-west rails)? Don't they have the option to do their own healthcare (Romneycare etc.)? And aren't most states pretty much on the scale of a Scandinavian country population and size-wise (or smaller)?

As I see it, the states should be experimental grounds for any number of different systems of government and implementations, with the successful ones being adopted by the others (ideally). If Texas wants to have a bare-bones capitalist model and California wants to be a semi-socialist one, why not? Why do things have to be decided at the federal level?

Absolutely, my issue here is the "Sexism in Tech" headline. "Sexism in Hypermac" or "Sexism in marketing" would be far more appropriate I think.
It seems like the graduate school entrance exams (GRE, MCAT, GMAT, LSAT) would be a good indicator of undergrad performance (though not so much for engineering and non-medical science).

Are those scores available on a per undergrad-school basis?

Sadly even if we had one sensor per cubic foot of the troposphere nonlinearity would quickly swamp any predictive value, I'm not sure we will ever have accurate forecasts past a few days.

Just watch the talk by Voxer on Riak (on Basho's site). It's basically an hour long explanation of why the things that come out of the box with Riak don't work for them. We ran into those problems as well.

Also, I'm giving a talk on it in 9 days at ErlangDC...Whisper is now top 10 social networking apps and we had a number of critical Riak failures. i'll be elaborating on them, though the focus of the talk is not to bash Riak, no pun intended... just to provide our experience and how we worked around it.

Glad to hear it. I did some work in this but plotting PM & Ozone data on an android device, I had never done anything remotely similar before and had a hard time finding any good options besides going out and writing my own charting system.

Is that a like for like comparison?

In Sweden, percentage of foreign born may paint a relatively accurate picture of homogeneity, whereas the same is not true in the US. Mass - immigration is very recent for the former, but not for the latter.
I remember a company that was doing the same thing a few years back. It was tip.. something.
I just hope it stays this way. There are few enough submits to HackerNews to ensure that every post gets viewed. If Hacker News gets over popular soon the reddit effect will happen.
Whether someone is sexist on purpose or not is irrelevant, it doesn't make things any less sexist. Often people will claim lack of knowledge when they do something that is sexist and use that as an accuse to continue engaging in sexist behavior, so its important to call out sexism regardless of how it occurs and for those responsible to make that apology and commit to recognizing that sexism.

As to whether or not this marketing event was degrading, the answer is quite clearly yes. Women's bodies were used as a marketing ploy to sell a product. Women's bodies as a commodity is a long running sexist theme in our society, including marketing. Commodify-ing women's bodies is dangerous and is directly related to violence against women. For an overview, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_objectification#Sexual_o...

I'm currently a student at a large (largest in the UC system) public research university, and I don't see any problem with excluding schools like UC Berkeley from the top 20. While we, like Berkeley, are a "research powerhouse," spend a little time as an undergraduate on campus and you will quickly realize how little the phrase "research powerhouse" really means to you. Professors are hired for research, not teaching, which means many are apathetic towards students while others clearly shouldn't be involved in the teaching process at all. There are some outstanding professors in terms of teaching, but the important caveat here is that at a large public research school teaching--which heavily affects the undergraduate experience is not a priority.
Some argue that being at a large research school offers, as the name implies, a large number research opportunities for undergraduates. That idea is a bit overly optimistic. When you have > 100 students in almost every upper division class, it is exceedingly difficult to build a relationship with professors where you may find a chance to gain some research experience. At least with my experience in the EE department, the number of professors who take undergraduate research students is countable on one hand and most of them refuse to accept anyone who is not a 3rd/4th year. I managed to claw my way into a few labs (not EE or CS related) merely because they needed someone who could write code.
The US College ranking done at U.S. news is meant to consider undergraduate teaching, and in this aspect large public schools fall far behind. If you want to see the value of research taken into account, look no further than the graduate school rankings. I don't mean to imply that the rankings are accurate, just that there is a valid reason for excluding large public schools from the top of the college rankings.
Thanks. In fact we used Haskell + Yesod + Fay to build the School of Haskell itself.
I should mention that was just while the post was on the front page. The numbers are still going up, but the votes seem to have stopped.
Steve Jobs made the point nicely:

"This stuff doesn’t change the world. It really doesn’t … Technologies can make it easier, can let us touch people we might not otherwise. But it’s a disservice to constantly put things in a radical new light that it’s going to change everything. Things don’t have to change the world to be important."
The best thing you can do is to connect those parts by one semi-generic identifier. There is no actual difference between using a class, an id, a data-attribute, or a ng-* attribute as hook. If you want to rename it, you have to rename it. If you want to move things around, you have to move them around. There is no way around it.

Your template will also use names of properties, arrays, and objects directly. There also isn't a way around that.

At some point you have to connect your pieces. They can't float around in mid-air forever.

The presentational things you mentioned are different. We can separate those things more, we can use abstractions, and we can make it extremely reusable.
The point I infer from your post is only valid if all second-generation+ immigrants are fully assimilated into the country's majority culture. The existence of various racial and geographical cultures would go against this theory.
Visits != readers - there are a lot of automated bots that scrape HN.

If you get into the top 3 or 4 on the front page, you can expect around 20-30,000 hits on your site. But the number of people who stick around and read the articles is much lower - around 1,000 to 2,000 according to my blog's Google Analytics.

I'm not disagreeing with the statement. It's just that it's rather shoddy journalism. Most influential is a matter of opinion and needs to be justified. Most generous is plausible, but the metric for generosity needs definition.
If you decide to do so, you are welcome to post tutorials on the School of Haskell.
I am in the same situation as the poster.

Worse: I don't have open source projects, because I don't have time, I arrive at home, cook my food, and hit the bed.

From the HN Guidelines:

> Please don't bait other users by inviting them to downmod you.
I went to UT Austin, which is a very similar school. All the negatives you mentioned are certainly valid, but U.S News's ranking isn't just an undergrad ranking, it's an overall university ranking.
And even for undergrad, career prospect for a CS undergrad from a UC school is probably SLIGHTLY better than a liberal arts grad from Vanderbilt.
No, that's not the practical result. You don't run afoul of COPPA by just knowing someone's age; you get into trouble when you knowingly collect the personal information of children under 13 without their parent's permission.

Honestly, I would think this crowd would be more disappointed that "banned from nearly any site" has become synonymous with "unwilling to submit all your personally identifiable information."
What I fail to understand is why objectification of the body is wrong, but objectification of the mind is normal, if not encouraged.

We spend a lot of time trying to make individual thought into an interchangeable machine. You don't even have to dig very deep in HN to see people boasting about the benefits of a college education, or why you should drop out, in order to make yourself like just like everyone else, creating an "us vs them" mentality. Then we put the most attractive minds on display for all to see. "Buy this and you can be smart and successful just like me!"

Exploiting a woman to display her body to sell a laptop battery is no more wrong than exploiting a woman to use her mind to create the battery in the first place. In either case, we are not appreciating the person for being a person, just an object that gets the job done.

Women are not free of problems because of their gender, but this case seems entirely about a non-sensical shame of the human body.
It depends if you are a citizen of EU, a Nordic country or Switzerland or not. I assume that you are not so in that case you would need a job offer first, apply for a work permit, then come and work. The process is described here:

http://www.sweden.se/eng/Home/Work/

If you are self-employed or moving with your company it might be trickier. Here at $MEGA_CORP we have hired tons of non-EU citizen, mostly Russians, and it seems to work pretty well.
I mean you have no right to an offense-free existence. Otherwise, claiming offense amounts to a heckler's veto, and is chilling and oppressive. You can be offended, and proclaim your offense to your offender, but offense isn't enough to require a change of behavior without an ancillary moral imperative, such as "offending some women is wrong".

On further thought, this post was probably written for an particular community, of which I am not a part, and on whose internal discourse I cannot make demands.
> The real problem about women being objectified is that women are ready to be objectified - either for money or for some other form of compromise. This is the real problem. As long as such women exist, the product makers and corporations would obviously use them. So, if you want this to stop, you have to revolt when someone from your own gender (male/female) is ready to represent your gender infront of a public audience and accept to be objectified for money. Don't go after the corporation that hired them, instead ask these people why they let them objectify you, on behalf of you/your gender in the first place.

Why do people accept money to do things? What a great question. That ranks right up there with "Why do prisoners want to escape from prison?"

Everyone has a price. If someone told you they'd pay you a million dollars to stand naked for a few hours in front of a gaggle of lecherous old ladies, I bet you'd do it. Scruples don't pay rent or put food on the table. Maybe your price is higher, or maybe it's lower like these models, but at some point you'd do it.
You didn't look at the submissions before complaining about them, right?
