For better and for worse; the coverage of apps targeting women usually portrays women as hapless damsels in distress to whose rescue we must come through outrage and this and that.

The increased outrage is not necessarily something that automatically favours the sex it purports to defend.

One could argue that people care more about women than men, but one could also argue that women need to be defended more than men, which flips the discussion of sexism or gender-favouritism on its head.

But generally, I definitely find there to be a gendered response, depending on the target demographic.

This app is disturbing. It also wants storage, location, network, contacts, phone call permissions hence I highly doubt it is as private as its creators portray it as.
How Can You Speed Up Your Website? 10 Simple SEO Tips
Nope, men have the upper hand and lower hand, and if you take the average out of that then women are men are equal at least in all Western nations. Even though 60-80% of politicians may be male, that's contrasted with 80% of homeless people being male, 80% of suicides made by men.

If we look at young people, then women clearly have the uppder hand. In addition to having the upper hand in dating, they out-earn young men and have greater success in education. Interestingly, if women are better than men at something, then the explanation is never discrimination, but if men are better than women, then the reason is discrimination.

As for maturity, I probably grew up in totally different time, culture and environment than most of the HN readers. Even my siblings children don't understand their parents background. At 15 we were expected to be top students, hold a job, play sports/music and be respectful to a fault. (Yes sir.) No one would ever want to be consider a punk or a brat.

We've had hundreds (or thousands, if you count sub-design-yield) detonations since 1945, including several in space (Hardtack Teak and Orange, and USSR equivalents).

And lots of them were for purely posturing purposes, with little scientific or direct weapons-testing value.

The US probably could have pulled off something like Orion in the 1990s or maybe even today, since there's not a direct cold war threat. Domestic politics probably kill it, though, but if it were branded as "nuclear pulse drive" with sub-10kT pulses, it might be possible.
Another model is to separate the entities that own and sell the infrastructure from the entities who own and sell the service.

Indeed. This would become the first question I asked a woman when trying to date. If she's childish enough to use something like this, I'd have no problem saying sayonara. There should be some expectation of maturity and general couth in any relationship.

The man who gave his life to bitcoin
Millennia of imbalance towards men having the upper hand in just about all societies is a plain fact.

However, progress and equality is not the reversal of an imbalance - it's the leveling of a playing field and accepting that to achieve real meaningful change, the notion of retribution must be taken off the table.

Either it's ok for both genders to have a service like this, or it is not ok for either gender to have a service like this. End of story.

Personally I'd find any site like this reprehensible for either gender (or any other biologically or socially discernable metric, for that matter).
I suppose so, but this heavily relies on no one in your operation having made a mistake, or that mistake having been caught before it was pushed live.

IETF Opens Draft Version of Updated SSH for Public Review
These are very niche use cases. Doing an entire benchmark on that basis without making that clear is misleading. And even in that exact use case, you will not see the massive performance difference that they are showing, because even in that case the data will have to be read from disk by the kernel, whereas in their benchmark the disk isn't even touched. Sure, in a database that doesn't support this, it might read the data from disk to memory, and then write it to a buffer, and that's going to be a bit less efficient than letting the kernel do it directly. You have an extra in memory copy, but that's still far from the performance difference that they are showing between disk read vs no disk read at all. So even in this ideal scenario, they are still massively overstating their performance (which should already be clear from the fact that no disk has 3 terabytes per second throughput). Designs like that are absolutely feasible in any database. You just have to do your own chunking. Storing 500MB records in a database is a bad idea anyways, since you never know if you're going to trip over some logic in the database, your application, or the kernel, or some interaction between these, that's going to load or copy it all unnecessarily. Better to make the chunking explicit.

Meh, whatever. It seems like a lot of social media - an online, permanent record of an evening in the bar.

I get the impression that this is a "terrible thing" because it will actively hinder the dating chances of some people without redress or knowledge. (Which is exactly like an evening in the bar)

Like privacy, our reputations are taking a digital battering. But just as people watch reality tv and boo at the evil ones, they also learn that they are booing five minutes edited conversation from 24 hours of life - lulu will carry on and so will gossip and bitchiness, but we will learn to adjust to the new levels of transparency - it may be a rough time, but it will happen.

Nb I you can use SQL injection to get a hot date, and don't live up to the injected criteria, trust me, that story will not need lulu to spread
> Saying that AppGratis should have known not to build their business on the AppStore platform

This part they should have known. I think the AppStore terms are ridiculous. There's been a lot of noise raised about them but people continue to build apps for the store thinking "nothing bad can happen to me, the terms are strict only because of bad apps."

Stop supporting Apple's walled garden. Stop building for the AppStore. Their terms will change if they can't get any apps.

I agree that the "rules are rules" argument is stupid. Rules are flexible and open to interpretation. But that's no excuse to ignore the control Apple has over their users and the history of them pulling apps from the app store.
Um.... So because the author doesn't normally soapbox about this hot-button issue but felt unusually compelled to call this instance out, you're less inclined to take him seriously?

Never mind that either side of that is the worst kind of ad hominem.

You've made a lot of soup out of a small amount of meat. Some quick replies to clear up misunderstandings:

I agree that patriarchy is bad for men too. I disagree that it was equally bad for both genders. I disagree that we have reached balance. By "manning up", I don't mean reinforcing gender roles or maintaining gender inequality. I mean that men should, as the relatively privileged parties, not be whiny at either the shift toward balance or the small anti-male inequities that crop up temporarily along the road to equity.
Google has zero experience in both building/running/maintaining physical telco plant.

The network Google is deploying is nothing more than a bunch of glorified Ethernet network switches. I'm sure they have quite enough experience building/running/maintaining networks.. especially since it's well known that they get their own kit built specifically for them.

The Customer Service is an issue, but I think their innovative approach to CS could be one of the biggest benefits, throwing brains at problems as opposed to more clueless people answering phones seems like a good thing. Infact, on this note, analysing vast amounts of data for trends and problems is exactly the sort of thing Google is amazing at.. and most faults with internet service can be identified, and remotely resolved, in this very manner.

This is good. I wouldn't care to date or even consider someone who would resort to such shallow methods to figure out if I was "worth it". That is, assuming something negative about me would be said. I can't really see how this would be anything but negative towards the men. He would be an ex for a reason. Jgrahamc said it well- if you are using this app, you deserve who you get.
Exactly. Because that, along with the article itself, suggests that the unusual compulsion is not a strong opposition to sexism.

Ad hominem concerns apply to rational arguments. This piece is not cool, rational discourse. It's a highly emotional piece, written to incite emotion. Inquiring about the source and nature of the emotion that drives it is fair.

They need 24-hour immediate access to any box. That means it has to be somewhere accessible. And they can't bury them, because they need ventilation, and the ventilation unit would have to go above ground, and would be even bigger than the utility box was.
No, it was an attempt at a joke. :P
So? Why does that detail matter?

In my first digs at Google I specifically avoided exposing any relationship (it was exposed by an HN commenter, to deflect). All I said was that there was mismanagement at a level approaching the criminal (which is true) and I gave a couple details (accidentally leaking calibration scores-- I thought that had been common knowledge-- and the death of 20% time).

Neither of these are confidential. How a company treats its employees is (with lots of legal precedent) covered under whistleblower protections-- not a trade secret. Therefore, the existence of any employment relationship is irrelevant.

If I leaked a product, I'd be unethical and deserve to be sued. Exposing the existence of calibration scores is fair game.
Have each of them demand a dump of their reviews from the service, as they're entitled to under EU data protection directive. If there's anything libellous in there, try to get a newspaper interested. The Daily Mail is probably a good choice for this mixture of sex and scandal.

>SQLite: We tuned SQLite's performance, by setting its locking mode to exclusive. We also enabled SQLite's write-ahead logging

>Databases are opened in asynchronous write mode. (LevelDB's sync option, TreeDB's OAUTOSYNC option, SQLite3's synchronous options are all turned off, MDB uses the MDB_NOSYNC option, and BerkeleyDB uses the DB_TXN_WRITE_NOSYNC option). I.e., every write is pushed to the operating system, but the benchmark does not wait for the write to reach the disk.

I got my app rejected (about 4 times) because the reviewer could not connect to a remote system with my app..
Each of the times I was rejected, I sent back a note spelling out how a firewall on the reviewer's network was probably blocking access to my remote system (communication is via telnet), but every single time, the only feedback I got was the same screenshot from my app with the message "unable to connect"..At this point, I have pretty much moved on.

These days I almost regularly sleep only 4-5 hours a night and I "can take it" but sometimes during the day I practically almost pass out from the tiredness - that passes shortly though and just closing my eyes for a bit helps a lot. And I yawn a lot but then again I do that even if I sleep for 10 hours or what have you.
They have the parts to do this:

- High speed copper physical layers are cheap - Thunderbolt today has 40Gbps PHYs, and Infiniband/10GBE both extremely inexpensive compared to a few years ago.

- Their chips are getting smaller and more power efficient, and the Atom finally has an ECC part.

- As clockspeed is not longer hockeysticking up, people are transitioning in droves to multi-system parallel task model, which favors lots of medium speed, efficient cores.

In short, in the near future general purpose computing is going to look more like HPC clusters, because the software side of things has, in most cases, caught up.

Five Marketing Methods Made Near Obsolete by the Internet
I have checked but it's impossible to tell from that, since you don't know what the API calls are doing. If somebody wants to dig into the source, that's great. However the other evidence I mentioned is enough to be quite certain of this claim, for example, that their tests do not show any difference between SSD and HDD, and that their disks would have 3 terabytes per second throughput. I know around here is it more appreciated if you state things with much hubris, even if you are only 50% sure. I worded things with a little bit of caution, even if it's 95% certain.
Most (all?) women I know who identify as feminist activists would not support this app, and I highly doubt anyone who would is really a feminist. This is equally harmful to women.
I have two reactions to this, and I think most people who care about sexism in our society would agree with both:

1. From the sound of it, this is a horribly sexist product that dehumanizes men and reinforces traditional gender roles. I hope to one day see a world where an app like this couldn't exist because there would be no demand (and because everyone would be disgusted by the basic concept).

2. Actively opposing this product is a lower priority than many other issues in our society. While this app does harm the men it targets, that harm occurs against a social backdrop that does not in general emphasize treating men this way. (That is, such attitudes exist, but they are rarely the primary lens through which men are viewed.) In contrast, a similar app targeting women would reinforce negative social norms that are often the primary way in which women are viewed. (Consider how often articles about women in politics comment on their appearance and clothing choices, as compared to how often articles about men do so.)

In short, every feminist that I know would be unhappy about this system, but there's no hypocrisy in those same people being less upset about it than about similar treatment of women. Yes, both men and women suffer unfair treatment because of how our society deals with gender. But women have much farther to go.
Startups, you don’t need to be in Silicon Valley
That is the worst way to go about this because it DOESN'T ACTUALLY FIX THE PROBLEM. It just makes it worse. Particularly because you are punishing people, men, who have never participated in the subjugation of women. This whole counter racism, counter sexism thing is just making things worst. It is basically just shifting the balance. What does that do for actually fixing the problem? Not a damn thing. Your attitude is vile and it is the same attitude that led to women being treated the way they were in history.
