As you noted, those definitions are all arbitrary, but needless to say they leave out the entire history of the origin of the word, an origin which seeks to critically describe both individual instances of sexism as well as the systemic, social factors of sexism. It should be noted though that the Wikipedia definition does include something about more than just individual instances of sexism.

I disagree that there are extra meanings being packed into the word sexism beyond the meanings you cited. That you are unaware of the origins and issues that go into sexism doesn't remove the meanings of the word. To be fair, no mainstream outlet or publication tends to talk about things at that length and level for a variety of reasons, many of which are due to systemic sexism, but don't confuse common understanding for the only understanding. Common understandings that lack depth or more rigorous information are what contribute to a common understanding that promotes racism, sexism, and other issues.

I think you guys are missing the point. She's just a high school girl talking about 'boys' the way high school girls do.

What I'd hope people key in on is that computer science is a medium of expression, creation, and creativity. I don't think anyone here would disagree with that, but it's apparently not so obvious to everyone, and worth driving that point home when selling the field, particularly to women who may value that aspect of a career as much or more than men.
Okay, now I am thinking I was counting it correctly for the context of my post. The $10B in cash is sitting idle. If it's in short and long term investments, that it's being put to some kind of use.
It's great to see a fully gesture based phone. I've always thought this would be the most natural way to interact with a touch based device, and it's always the gesture based apps and interactions that I enjoy using most on my phone. My only hesitation is whether gestures interfere with normal use of the phone. Will it confuse interactions in the game I am playing with the swipe to go back to the home screen, for example? If it does, it's going to be hugely problematic. But if it's done well it will be the most enjoyable and natural interface out there, I think.

Part of the allure of Steam is that everything on that service has been vetted before I ever see it, if not for fun then at least for being a game and not malware.

Not sure how I feel about this. Sure, the users will catch the problem eventually and get it pulled, but in the meantime you would be really leery about downloading something new.

Heh, I have had experiences like that with T-connectors.

Heck, even just a few months ago I spent 2 hours troubleshooting a 10G fiber connection on all brand new gear before swapping out the brand-new cisco 10G SR SFP module which was DOA.

Thinking the same exact thing after swapping out everything else, including all patch cords on both ends "It can't possible be this SFP module"

Yup.
I just read the headline, but whenever someone quotes an astounding growth figure, you should ask about the base [1].

If you start a startup with one female engineer (maybe your total staff is 3-5 plus the founder(s)), and then you get funded and suddenly have the money to hire a couple dozen people, it's easy to see the possibility of having 500% growth.

The Nexus 10 was $400 with very similar resolution (2560x1600). But this would be using a bigger screen, which probably means it's more expensive (although less PPI than Nexus 10). So I hope it's somewhere between $500-$600. $500 would be the sweet spot, though. And I think they can only achieve that with ARM chips, and with reasonable performance.
Integrating Zend Optimizer+ into the PHP distribution
I recommend the scrypt command line utility [1] instead of openssl. Openssl use md5 as a key derivation function [2], and cost of recovering a reasonable length, randomly generated password is surprisingly low [3]. The costs in the presentation are from 2009, and I can only imagine how they've dropped thanks to a few years of bitcoin-driven gpu/hardware developments. If you trust your code host, e.g. github or bitbucket, this isn't a concern, but neither are plaintext passwords in version control. If you're using a very long, randomly generated password, you're safe as well.

The disadvantage is that you'll need to compile scrypt from source.

Did you even read that post? Not two sentences after the one you cite does Caroline Bird say:

A direct statement about the systemic, power imbalance nature of sexism. Sexism is both those individual instances of discrimination and the overall systemic and social issues that allow it to perpetuate.

The data looks to be way way off. I looked at salaries in NY. There were several software developer jobs with salaries in the 1.6M range. Looking at the result set it looked like everything could be off by 10x. I can't see the site now to give specific examples though.
When Apple invents and touts their "Retina" displays: that's bullshit, I can see up to 9000 dpi. Don't waste your money

Chrome has light to moderate tracking issues.
Developers are starting to only support one or two browsers (talking about websites not extensions) , which I think is absurd and it reduces competition.
I think Firefox is a better browser than Chrome/ium in a few ways and vice versa.
You're the developer I'm assuming. You've made a great product for a popular browser, so there's nothing to worry about for you, but I think if people switched to Firefox, the Internet would be a better place. Good luck!
It's the actual wage data. Actually it's the maximum number of the range that an employer can report to the DoL.

Wow. I just wrote my long response, and I considered adding a note about culture, but I'll leave it as a reply to you:

Scott Weiss didn't just forget to put it in his blog post, he specifically didn't successfully implement a policy of adopting Cisco culture at the San Bruno office based on my later experiences there.

The IronPorters were still called that (now 7 years later). The office had different perks, different beer bashes, and rarely knew people outside their project thus ignoring most of the BU and it's culture.

I think you're completely correct, and it's a really hard thing to accomplish. He may have tried and failed, but I don't know as I wasn't there during acquisition.
Thanks!

The focus of the site all seems to be about you making a million dollars. What's in it for the App devs? Maybe you should pivot your branding message towards promoting the apps.
Yeah they're pretty boned. They'd be mad not to accept the inevitable embrace the tech and re-gear their business model around that.
OK, so why the delay then?

Did you also dispute after 8 months? I would understand if you are willing to cut your contractor maybe a week or two worth of slack. But in OP's case 1-2 weeks difference still doesn't make 1250$ reasonable payment for 2.5 months work.

And if the work was estimated as substantially less, why did OP delay filling the dispute for so long and how is that the web site's fault?
This is a brilliant insight. In the developing world, all our time is already used up by something. Products/services are playing a zero-sum game.

This is why entirely new platforms create gold rush land grabs. The game becomes non-zero sum for a while until the new platform is saturated and becomes zero-sum again.

> They "grill stuff up" here in Italy, and it's quite good - especially a fiorentina steak - but it's not barbecue.

WELL.... the US makes great barbecue, but that's a unique cuisine. My experience in Italy is largely Emilia-Romagna, the breadbasket of Italy, and what they grill, out in the countryside, is nothing short of amazing. Grilled salami on piadina (a unique soft local flatbread), big slabs of grilled pancetta dripping with fat and salt, just unbelievable. I have had absolutely nothing approaching this in the US grill-wise.

So here's my list.

The US does better:

* Sandwiches (easily)

* Hearty soups

* Non-european, non-mediterranean international food (easily). Ethiopian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Indian, Jamaican, Indonesian, Cuban, Mexican (duh), Vietnamese, Persian, Afghanistani and Pakistani, all vastly superior in the US than in Italy, if you can even get it.

* Anything US Jewish Traditional

* Large-fish seafood in some cases: stuff you make steaks out of.

* Cookies (sorry Italy)

* Cereal

* Steaks, maybe, it's a tough call

Italy does better:

* Seafood except for a few big fish. No comparison.

* Most meat dishes of all kinds, except maybe steaks.

* Italian food (of course)

* German, Spanish, Greek, and Turkish food

* Salads

* Ice cream, without question

* Nearly all desserts

* By-the-pound deli-ish things

* Cheese and basically all milk products, no comparison

* Charcuterie (Salames, Sausages, pancettas, prosciuttos, etc.) So much superior to even the best stuff in the US that it's not even funny. Heck I'm married into a family which makes their own salame and prosciutto at a local farmhouse. This is not uncommon.

* Vegetables of almost all kinds. The only exceptions I can think of immediately are things that are unobtainable in Italy, like pecans.

* Organic products.

* The flour is more flexible. Italians have both soft (low-gluten) flour for pizza and piadinas etc., and a hard (high-gluten) flour for breads. It's very hard to get equivalent types or quality of flour in the US despite our huge wheat industry.

* Bread and pastries. No contest.

I believe that a lot of factors go into determining the rank, including domain, poster, and probably more. So it's hard to compare 2 submissions.

>Serfs occupied a portion of land and owed a portion of their crops to the lord of the manor or their feudal lord. It was slavery in all but name.

I guess it depends on your definition of slavery. Most serfs had some degree of autonomy and self-determination even if they were forced to pay tribute unfairly.

So that incites us to ask, how is it any different today, when we are also forced to pay a [quite hefty] tribute to the government simply for collecting money? We all have some form of autonomy, but the government has demonstration that only exists so long as we pay tribute and sacrifice the fruits of our labors. Same story as a serf, who would be granted a parcel and expected to pay a tribute to his lord or suffer serious infractions of basic rights to self-determination.

True; while I welcome Steam's Linux support wholeheartedly, I am not naïve to Valve's motives. They may learn good things about Linux in their endeavours, but it was hardly motivated by these things.

Politics will be politics, we all just have to hope that some good happens now and then, even if the intent was not necessarily to do good. Ethics and morals; I think ends can make reason irrelevant. I am sure Kant has a problem with that view.

Makes me wonder if this is related to in-band management? One of the interesting thing about working at NetApp, which had its own "OS" was that every driver was written by engineering. That allowed the full challenge of some of these devices to be experienced first hand.

One of the more painful summers resulted from a QLogic HBA which sometimes, for no apparent reason, injected a string of hex digits into the data it transmitted. There is a commemorative t-shirt of that bug with just the string of characters. It lead NetApp to putting in-block checksums into the file system so that corruption between the disk and memory, which was 'self inflicted' (and so passed various channel integrity checks) could be detected.

Here at Blekko we had a packet fragment that would simply vanish into the center switch. It would go in and never come out. We never got a satisfactory answer for that one. Keith, our chief architect, worked around it by randomizing the packet on a retransmit request.

The amount of code between your data and you that you can't control is, sadly, way larger than you probably would like.

It seems to me like the battery life is the killer here. A highly portable device just needs long battery life. Mobility == no access to power, the two just go together. It seems to me that MS would have been better to release the RT stand alone and wait for the next generation of Intel chips (working closely with Intel, if necessary) to dramatically decrease power and get the fans out of this thing. If it had no fans and got 2x battery life it would be a pretty awesome device.

1. We use GA but this is still my main concern. This kind of data seems to sensitive to be hosted by someone else.

2. There seems to be some SQL stuff in there - IO would be a nice addition though.

3. This could be a problem. Let us host the app our self, and we might be able to handle it?

With that in mind, i would love to have this as a part of my daily toolset.

My apologies for getting meta here, but: you sure are extrapolating a lot from what I said. :) 3 comment responses in a quick while, all drawing comparisons with Apple on the point I raised.

I like that Apple made a high-res. device. I now like that Google is also releasing a high-res device. The excited defense of Apple, despite my having not really attacked Apple in the first place makes it seem like there's some sort of victim mentality going on with Apple fans.
I guess I'm trying to get the point across that yes I'm trying to make $1m but also helping app devs get discovered. Maybe it's not clear. Is the counter of how much I have sold distracting? I assumed this is what will draw people to the site and once they arrive they'll hopefully do a little browsing and discover apps.

When you say branding message are you talking about the text under the logo? Thanks for message.
Yep, Steam to me has been a place where I know there is a certain quality standard.

If I wanted to just download random files I'd go to pirate bay or mega upload.
Tech salaries are correlated only to your ability and willingness to negotiate.

That's what happens with a market starved for good people.
The best thing for them to do would be simply to adopt the app store model, whether it's Apple's or Google's. Open to all comers who can pay the fee, but with a brief approval process.

Greenlight was a failed experiment, and it's extremely encouraging to see them acknowledging that. Valve could be, if they want to, the platform for all indie games, not just broadly popular ones. So far they've resisted that, and I can't imagine it's been a particularly good business decision.

I know people want "curation", but have you seen some of the crap that's already on Steam? Probably not, because it rarely features on their storefront, which can always be curated regardless of how many other games they accept and sell, which might only be found through a search or a direct link. That's the best of both worlds.
