Ever since then, I treat the internet like I would a lovable-but-backwards grandparent, who makes racist comments over Christmas dinner. Yes Grandma, it's all the damn commie jews and faggots' fault, now, who wants dessert?

This is key. I can't be responsible for the feelings of every person who overhears anything I say. If I say something offensive, call me an ass and move on because I'm not worth giving any attention to.
Thank you! Good suggestion, will do.

There is another path, marry an engineer and delay starting your family for a few years. It worked out pretty well for me. While she was working we always tried to balance risk between the two jobs so that either one of us having our job go poof would still have enough runway to recover.

I certainly agree doing it all yourself is going to be a challenge.
From the Geek Feminism Wiki:

Clawed my way up is an excuse for sexism used in some geek discussions: "I clawed my way up all on my own, why can't you?"

Essentially, this argument is a denial of the effect of privilege on success. The person making it argues either that:

they, despite being oppressed in some way (often but not always experiencing poverty in childhood), are now very successful, and anyone who isn't is lazy

they, despite being oppressed in some way, never took advantage of any scheme designed to ameliorate oppression (such as scholarships targeted at certain groups)

there is no such thing as institutional privilege, there's just people who work hard and whining people who don't
that natural selection operates at the level of success in society, and by attempting to ameliorate oppression, society is in fact doing itself harm

There are various problems with these arguments:

oppressions don't map perfectly to each other: someone who experienced, say, poverty can't map their experience onto someone who isn't white or is a woman, etc (see Oppression Olympics)

the experience of people with intersecting oppressions is generally discounted

it is unlikely in the extreme that the person speaking did not in some way benefit from privilege: for example, access to enough resources for the child to have a computer (perhaps a cheap secondhand one, but nevertheless), access to a library and time to read any books borrowed from the library, household members who did chores while the person speaking studied, etc.

it is at least unlikely that the person did not in some way benefit from schemes designed to ameliorate oppression, examples include but aren't limited to: free or cheap public schooling and free or cheap healthcare.
She should disrupt her life and tear down her most important professional relationships to go somewhere that doesn't exist?
I think one response that's missing here is that application servers might use a lot of RAM while they're running, so you can only afford to have a few instances running. In such cases, it's better to have nginx buffer the response and deal with the slow clients, than holding up an application server for the duration of the transfer.
With a 176 LSAT you probably would've gotten some rich scholarships barring unusual circumstances.

Too much of anything is going to mess with your body. I would have been surprised if drinking the equivalent of 100 tea bags daily for 17 years didn't mess this woman up.
When an isolate microaggression is brought to light, the aggressor (or the supporters of the aggressor) usually respond with "why can't you take a joke?" or the infamous "now, I'm a big supporter of [diversity, feminism, equal rights], but this one situation is really not a big deal."
The problem is the statistics that are given contain ABA-approval. Now, thanks to the efforts of LST and the broader scamblog movement, you should know better, but 5 years ago before anyone really talked about this? Is it reasonable to expect people not to trust the governing body's numbers to at least be in the realm of reality?
I wrote a post here of resources for learning ruby http://www.zappable.com/2012/11/learning-ruby-and-rails/ and made a chart here with some more: http://www.zappable.com/2012/12/a-map-of-resources-for-learn...
But the memory contents aren't actually being modified in an unintended way. They're only being used in an unintended way. The random number generator is supposed to tick this way, and the sprite data is supposed to work this way. The key exploit is in getting the game to run a subroutine at the wrong time, so that it uses the valid memory contents as code and skips to the end.

There are other mario games where you can go out of bounds into memory and start flipping bits. That is memory corruption. Here I don't think the term applies.
Like I said, you're making a straw man argument. You're saying that getting men to "not care about women's looks" is the same as getting men to stop sexually harassing women. That's simply not true.

And it is definitely possible to change our culture so that sexual harassment is not ok.
It wasn't immediately clear, but this is for the Foundation framework. It looks great, nice work!
Yes. Plus the new interest rates are 6.8% and 7.9% (the majority of which is 7.9%), which accrues immediately, as subsidized loans were eliminated last year.
It's not whether they're getting rid of male engineers. I just hope they're not giving an unfair advantage to females over males here as I would consider that to be sexist.
Equality isn't making sure 50% of workers in each role are of each gender. Equality is making sure that when recruiting/training you always pick the best candidate regardless of there gender.
I think the basic problem is that law is taught in the USA as a graduate degree, so the stakes are higher.

In Australia, most universities teach law as an undergraduate degree. It's basically viewed as the replacement for the Arts degree of the 50s: a generalist degree that shows a comfort with doing large volumes of work with verbal abstractions.

Lots of Australian law students discover that they don't want to be lawyers. They go on to other professional careers instead -- the public service, management etc etc. In my case I quit and did computer science.

I don't regret it. Legal thinking is unusually thorough and careful.
Do you have significant marketing experience?
Haha, once again, the Geek Feminism wiki addresses this EXACT argument.

-----

"Suck it up and deal" is a common response to examples of gender discrimination. For example, suppose "Bob" asks "Alice" for an example of why female students may feel unwelcome in computer science classrooms, and "Alice" says, "Suppose you walk into a classroom and the first thing you hear is the lecturer saying 'we need to make our systems so usable that even your mom could use them'; would you feel more or less welcome?" It's common for "Bob" to respond that he wouldn't feel unwelcome in such a situation if he were a woman, because he would just suck it up and deal; after all, "Bob" would say, computer scientists frequently use "so easy your mom could use it" as a benchmark, and anyway, why would he let that stop him from being interested in computer science?

As a rhetorical device, "Suck it up and deal" serves as a double bind: if you fail to give examples of sexist comments or behavior, you're accused of inventing a problem. If you do give examples, almost any example can be dismissed as something women would be able to deal with if they weren't oversensitive / overemotional / not really interested in technology anyway.

"Suck it up and deal" is also a convenient way of disregarding the emotional labor required to, in fact, suck it up and deal (something almost any woman in a technical career already does frequently just to get through the day), the toll that such labor takes on a person over time, and the energy it drains that could otherwise go into work. Like the Male experience trump card, "Suck it up and deal" is a way for people who have never had sexist comments aimed at them to deny the reality that such comments have an effect.

No, but I have enough experience trying to launch two startups to know the basics of what NOT TO DO.
yeah, if you want to do that. and I do - we get 5% off everything.
I think that the fundamental issue is that, while reasonable people understand that jokes, even in-group jokes that may potentially exclude someone atypical (for any definition of atypical), do not an unsafe space make... there are still others who would hold up such jokes (which are easy to attack, though not the root cause) and the idea of a "safe space" (which is a good thing), and claim that "this is the problem".

They are wrong. The problem is never jokes.
In a given situation, who decides who the "aggressor" is? You're throwing that word around as though it's always a given.
> As for finding opportunity to do nothing, the thing is that in those states of consciousness, nothing is the base experience of reality. Everything else, the doing, the striving, the acting, are forms. It is similar to looking at this webpage and focusing on the spaces between the words than at the words themselves.

Thank you for giving this conversation an honest chance. I am happy to say that I have a further reply to this, and let's see where it takes us.

The spaces between the letters that you mention, nevertheless consist of pixels. The spaces between the letters, far from being nothing, are full of pixels. Similarly, we do not drop from an empty vacuum into this world – we come from an uterus. I believe that, if this semantic fulness (instead of semantic emptiness) is postulated as fundamental, then we obtain a new system of thought that no longer renders meditation as valuable – at least not for the age-old arguments.

Perhaps I should reveal my stance fully. I do not believe your meditative practice and experiences are disconnected at all from semantic factors, such as assumptions about the nature of the world, reality and mind. In the mean time, metaphysics are notorious for having changed disruptively over time, and given a newer system of thought that postulates fulness as fundamental [note], I wish to explore the extent to which the age-old practice of meditation still makes that much sense.

[note] As far as I can tell, this originated in the newer physics, once the older luminiferous aether had been replaced by the newer plenum.
How important that point is depends on how much range affects viability as opposed to the cost of the vehicle itself. Electric cars are rather expensive I guess, but few people are going to make the switch to cheaper cars if they only have a range of 20km.
In one job, the women used to complain that the boss literally could/would not hear the women when they spoke - at least when they were speaking seriously, offering suggestions, analysis, etc. (He was great for sharing beers, shooting the breeze, discussing current events, etc.) The other men always insisted we were being paranoid/militantly feminist/attention-seeking, etc. One guy finally "saw" it - but not until he had given his 2-weeks' notice. I guess that's when he finally felt comfortable taking the blinders off - or finally acknowledging what he had always seen. I used to say that even mosquitos got more respect from our boss than we did, because he had swatted at them when he heard them.
As mentioned in the post, I don't work there anymore. It's worth noting that this isn't the first bad experience I've had at a workplace (see other post [1]). Also, several of the things I mentioned have nothing to do with work, so a new job doesn't solve them.

Aircraft carrier on Ebay you say?

The British MOD (Ministry of Defence) has an auction site for surplus equipment from shows, clothes and jeeps up to (occasionally) aircraft carriers.
My 50% scholarship at a top 15 school (one of the cheaper ones too) still left me looking at a 40K per year bill with COL. You might be able to get a close to full ride if you are willing to go to a less prestigious school, but most aren't, since law is such a prestige obsessed world. It doesn't make much sense, given that there isn't really any difference in education quality or breadth between the schools. Law firms might as well just look at undergrad LSAT and GPA's, since that's about the extent of the filter "which law school you went to" applies.
"The heavy drinking makes some of us feel unsafe."

Equating rape culture with alcohol-consumption culture doesn't solve the root problem, it only alienates the vast majority of those of us who enjoy drinking occasionally who have never raped or assaulted anyone ever.

The solution to "some people are alienated" is not "alienate the dominant group right back".
"This source, much like the rest of the Internet, initially blamed Alex Reid, the man in the middle of the picture."

Are the statements of this source more or less defamatory than the original source? That is, in the original image+text it was (and remains) ambiguous about who made the sexual jokes. While this source specifically named one person, and then named another.

If defamation is a relevant concept to this discussion, then you should be complaining most strongly about the defamation done by this source, no?

That's insufficient. The only way to show why the guy is wrong is to show what the right thing to do is.

Sounds like you are about to throw yourself into a political fight that you are very likely to lose because you are going to step onto someone else's turf without the appropriate ammo.
This article really hit a nerve with me. I am 21, single, surfer, and have had the opportunity to be able to spend time with many pretty and interesting ladies. But I got accepted into DBC and am now, more or less, out of the "college-mentality" and am now thinking more clearly.

As a 21 year old, when you are not working or studying, almost everything you do revolves around trying to pick up some girl. I got tired of it because I would rather learn software than pretend like I care what some girl is talking about just to get in her pants.

I have known this one girl for 8 years and we have essentially grown up together and spent our teenage years together. I used to be against marriage because of not wanting to get tied down. But she is my best friend, someone who I could spend every day with, which is what marriage really is about. She wouldn't tie me down, because she understands what i am doing and what I want to accomplish. Pursuing some girl just to bed her...would tie me down because you get "addicted" to trying to it. It's fun, but it makes you feel dirty and shameful.

Many of the arguments the OP makes really resonates with some of the reasoning I have come up with. If you have someone who supports you, and she in return is expecting you do to the same, that is the most valuable asset that you could have. It provides better motivation than almost anything else I could think of. She is trusting YOU to provide for her. When your back is against the wall, you can do some pretty incredible things because what your doing HAS TO work.

Not to go too far into it, but the point I was trying to make was I am seriously considering proposing to this girl. I am leaving, so this is kind of my Hail Mary. Maybe this is the worst decision I could ever make, maybe not. Thanks for a great read and I will be taking this article into consideration when making my next move.

Keep the good writing coming!
A big part of the difficulty, is that this is the stuff that goes on once bigotry has been pushed down to the subliminal level. Once there is little overt bigotry, then further progress is through accomplishment.

There is no sharp demarcation, of course. The tech industry is perhaps still not quite at the "everything is subliminal" point.

And yes, a part of the human condition, is that everything is subverted and abused or misapplied, sometime. Because...humans. We're messy.

Nope, Stylebot has live CSS editing, it shows you the results as you type.
I think she would find it more encouraging if you said something like, "damn, sexism sucks," rather than, "I struggled with a difficult life and made it, and you can too." I know you want to be encouraging, but ignoring the greater gender issues she was bringing up makes it seem like you're missing the point. I'm sure she is capable of getting encouragement from her friends, but publicizing sexism in the tech industry is for, well, the public, which includes men like you.
I dropped out of a top-15 program. The legal education is in crisis mode right now. Last I looked, applications to law school were lower than any year since they started counting them. Formerly "competitive" schools like American have dropped all pretense of admissions standards. In my opinion, at least one school will have gone belly up in the next year (and without significant reform, that's just the tip of the iceberg).
Lufia II also has the HP overflow bug. The ultimate superboss, the egg dragon, has 65,355 HP, and healing him will bring him down to double digits.
Seriously? In the situations where people talk about microaggressions, it's one party acting in a certain way toward someone from an oppressed class that subtly devalues them in a way that ties into the oppression of that class. Out of context, one may see it as "not a big deal", but in the broader context of that class's oppression, and the frequency with which people of the oppressed class may experience microaggressions, it is a big deal.

In that case, there is one clear party who is being (subtly) aggressive.
Yep, you have to think of that equity stake as the cost for a 5 minute Friday night commercial. I'm assuming such a commercial would cost maybe $30-50k or more, so it seems like a semi-fair deal (although since you are also the one creating the entertainment which lands the sponsor deals maybe not!)

You're right, the problem is never jokes: it's the social power behind the joke. If I am upset, and I say "I'm so mad, I'm going to kill you!" in a joking manner, that's one thing. If I say "I'm so mad, I'm going to kill you!" while brandishing a handgun, well, that's an entirely different manner. I'm not sure why you're bringing up jokes, neither page I linked to contains information about jokes.

The point of safe spaces is not to protect people from jokes. The point of safe spaces is that a place exists where, for example, you don't need to explain for the Nth time how $SITUATION is or is not marginalizing against $GROUP, and feel safe that no members of $OPPRESSIVE_GROUP will show up and derail/invade/disrupt/cause harm to the group.

To answer via your original question, it is 'safety in homogeneity.'
Adding one more to that list-- you can host different domains on different ports (but your load balancer will need to for example direct :443 to :8443). This is common practice for people that use Amazon's ELB, for example.
"Works for me" is never an answer
Thank you. Added that in the header now.
The other side of this is that the energy and pollution cost of creating a new car are very significant. You'd have to extend the life of the gas guzzler for quite a while before there's a net increase in pollution vs. a new vehicle.
You're responding to a point he isn't making. He's not claiming that one's circumstances don't contribute to one's success; obviously, we're all "privileged" to be living in the first world in the 21st century.

You took this opportunity to dismiss his personal experiences, and bizarrely, you implied that one's insight regarding a situation is entirely unwelcome without having personally experienced that exact same situation. If that's the case, take your own advice and leave him alone.

You're poisoning this discussion. Just stop.
It's nice but the dropdown selection suffers from the common issue that Amazon solved using "fuzzier" mouse tracking. Trying to get to the last dropdown box on this "Almost Flat UI" is hard: as soon as you're one or two pixels off everything disappears.
This Gates Foundation challenge focuses on making a more pleasurable condom, but what about just good old-fashioned scare tactics like we see for cigarettes (blackened lungs, people breathing through a tube in their neck, etc.)?

Include (extreme) imagery in condom ads to remind potential customers of the costs of unprotected sex - nauseating pictures of STD-infected genitalia, stories of men who have to pay $xxx in child support every month, men who were "forced" to get married due to pregnancy and miss out on their youth, etc.

Wouldn't this be just as effective, while requiring much less effort and ingenuity?
The issue is not the content of the sentence, it's the relative frequency of the sentence. The stereotype of the non-technical female is pretty common: people talk about "software that even your mother could use" or simple things that pass "the grandma test". Practically nobody talks about dumbing down technical content for their husbands, fathers or grandfathers.
I didn't claim the comment was sexist in my post. I said that it was a regular reminder that speakers don't consider me (and other demographics) part of their audience.

The thing is, I've never heard a woman speaker make a similar joke about her husband/boyfriend or a non-heterosexual speaker make a similar comment about their partner. Maybe I'd feel differently if there was more of a mix.
I believe the US is the only country in the world to teach law school as a graduate degree. It's a function of every school modeling itself on Harvard Law (which was the first American law school). It makes much more sense to teach law as an undergraduate degree followed by an internship, since it removes the massive debt burden brought on by undergraduate + graduate school debt.
Actually given the norm for HN, this is pretty supportive and that is sad
Those aren't trade schools with a public perception of solid return.

The bottom dropped out of law about 5 years ago, when jobs were cut and law school enrollment went up. Not everyone has gotten the memo.

There was never a time where people assumed they could pull anywhere near six digits their first year out of school by getting a graduate degree in writing poetry.
