As a man, I can say I've experienced all the issues described by the OP. Regarding the first one, I was made senior when I was very young, having clients and even certain co-workers at the time respect my opinion was very tough. I got where I was in no small part because of my hard work and my choices, and that was pretty frustrating at first.

The other issues I think are relatively common and apply to most people, at least at some point in their careers. Having constructive arguments and listening to others' is a pretty rare skill, generally speaking.

Now the article seems to present these issues as if they were solely caused by misogyny. I think it's more about general stereotyping, but also about affected people not knowing how to stand their ground. I got pushed around and ignored for a while, like most people will endure at some point. Getting bitter won't resolve anything, it'll just give people around you a wrong justification for their behavior, making you even more frustrated and bitter.

Standing your ground in my opinion is being able to show you didn't get where you are by mistake. And if you happen to be the victim of stereotyping or any kind of discrimination, making a firm point of it will make people think that's all you're about, not your skills or your hard work. It's sad but I guess you can only rise above the bickering, and that in itself can be quite empowering.

And if that sort of behavior is common-place in your workplace (as opposed to isolated in which case simply ignoring it works wonders), then you most definitely aren't working for the right people. I despise ignorant discrimination but I can't support people who make it the source of all their problems either.
Sure, but you can make a reasonable assumption that they're open in between certain hours of the day. I can make a reasonable assumption and say stores are open 11am-4pm everywhere, and I'd be right more times than not.

With a universal time, you'd need to keep track of what "11am-4pm" translates to in your local area and determine it that way.
> Couldn't the real life costs of mining the coins be a base for the bitcoin value ?

Not really. You can't recover the costs by "melting down" bitcoins, so it doesn't provide a support for the value of bitcoins the way that the use-value of gold might provide a support for the value of gold currency.

Clearly, if the cost to mine coins is less than the market value plus the expected transaction fees that can be earned by mining (mining is also transaction verification), there is no economic incentive to mine, but that doesn't operate as a price floor so much as a limit on the viability of the system.
Actually I was pissed at them for something else. I think the act of chastising was what changed our interactions, not the content of said chastization.
It's not a large number of people, but rather some who hold a lot of influence and sway who've attacked _why.
I really hope you see this -> Please please create a 10 min screencast showing how to use light table. May be I'm being utterly dumb and can't find this anywhere, but I've looked for a simple tutorial for Light Table and have not found it. I've downloaded Light Table and haven't figured out how to use it. I actually use Lein for clojurescript development because I could find enough documentation on it to get it running, while I am assuming Light Table is supposed to be much easier to use.
While I'm not that interested in music discovery, I would definitely be interested in podcast discovery. I'd be interested in seeing what podcasts the people I follow on Twitter are listening to.

Yes, I have seen the main keyword get boosted in the SERPs when other h* tags are removed. I have seen this on multiple sites. This is not a rare technique and other SEOs do it too.

No doubt your page also can get ranked using the normal h- hierarchy.

The point of this technique is to put as much value on the main keyword as possible. Make it really obvious to the search engines what your page is about. Your page may have other requirements, so use accordingly.
I was young and brash. I remain ashamed I said it.
The transaction verification language[1] is not turing complete, and only provides one bit of information (accept/reject transaction).

Currently almost all transactions scripts just do public-key verification.

Not everything could be outsourced. But if you live in the place where there's no job I think you should move. I bet there's not so many programmers working in Monaco. Because cost of living there is too damn high. Much easier to get some french programmers.
Globalization is kinda hard to stop.
Krugman isn't being a political partisan hack here. Every mainstream economist from the Republican and Democratic administrations agree that a currency backed similarly to gold (as opposed to a central bank) is not a good idea.
And that's what the author is exactly outlining in her post: everytime someone brings those things up, a lot of the answers are like yours.

"What if it was just a misunderstanding or a coincidence?"

That's bullshit. You weren't there, OP was.

I love the innate nerd skepticism, but at times like this it really is our worst enemy.

Who would you rather listen to- a sane, reasonable and relatively smart person (based on her credentials and accomplishments) giving you their take on things for which they were physically present; or the little voice in your head that says "but it was probably just a coincidence!", even though you have zero knowledge of the situation except for what you just read of it?
Training like Tesla: An Experiment of the Mind
As a European who doesn't have a registered user for a lot of services, I would much prefer that we decided on some ID for a song or album, so we could refer to that one link (music://, etc.), and we would get a link for - or in this case a list - of the music as provided by services that

* I actually use (have a user for/access to, etc.),

* offer the music in my region

A modern problem that really annoys me these days, is that people are increasingly sharing music behind registration wall or region restrictions.

Just look at Hulu, Netflix, Spotify - the list goes on. In a time where we're supposed to share and break barriers, a lot of people are growing increasingly unaware of the people who don't have access to many of the services that purport provide people with this media.

I have a bad feeling that this could have the exact opposite effect and result in a lot of "broken links" for people with no access. I see this a lot on Tumblr right now.
It has to do with the codes of signalling in the various protocols such as SS7, h323 and SIP. Taking SIP as an example code 180 is call progress connecting and a signal is generated that sounds like ringing while code 183 allows you to actually hear the sound being generated on the other end, which is how they create the custom ring tones or when you will hear the international ring tone. While 183 is the actual signal the 180 code is far more efficient and is what is used by the larger carriers.
Is Innovation Over?
Well. At that instance she was. Fiercely discussing solutions to a problem without first checking if it existed is dumb behavior.
Is it a considerable problem, though? It seems too simple to say "oil leak = bad!" - surely the smaller leaks in this report (particularly the American ones, like the train derailment) provoked a recovery and cleanup operation, and thus may have had only a minor environmental impact.

It would be useful if there was some kind of score-card for determining the environmental impact of any given spill. I imagine it would be some combination of:

- Volume of oil released during the "spilling" period (a tanker breaking up on the rocks is presumably worse than the same volume trickling out over a year)

- The environment into which the leak occurred (leaks in the desert aren't as bad?)

- Whether the spill provoked a response, and whether that was effective, for some measure of effective.

I'd be interested to know if such a thing exists.
It's pretty exciting. As an energy saving device in hot climates, it can have a larger impact per square meter than the equivalent in solar panels -- all while being cheaper to buy and maintain.
Would that be a bad thing? i assume that the point of twitter music is that somebody you follow shares a song, and twitter music lets you listen to that song no matter which service it is on. If twitter wants to pay for licenses so i can listen to the music my friends are sharing, what do i care if they drop support for RDIO?
This sound like it would be awesome for Burning Man.
Having a thick skin isn't sufficient. Simply patiently explaining your position to people who are being hostile (eg: my previous experience on HN) doesn't do anything more than make them form up into mobs and start pursuing you and harassing you. (Seriously, everything from blatant name calling, to finding personal revelations in past comments and then posting them publicly to be mocked... ok I'm a minority, I should feel bad about that? Mocking me for being a minority was massively upvoted, while me asking why this was tolerated here was downvoted.)

Eventually, I find this site to be too much to waste time on, and simply left. (I doubt this account will last more than a day anyway.)

This site has a narrow minded and intolerant culture. (And those who are within the range of whats "Acceptable" think that its quite the opposite so they never see it.) This culture knows that it can call people names, attack them personally, dig up private information and harass them and get away with it because there will be no punishment-- since they all vote each other up in their game of "smear the queer".

This is, of course, why they do it. Hounding those who are different into leaving until you have an ideologically pure little "community".

Meanwhile the moderators of this site hellban people for the "crime" of linking to a scientific paper that disagrees with global warming (since this is a leftist site, obviously, if you disagree with global warming you're not part of the realm of people where "tolerance" applies.)

And so the people who are different leave, the "community" sits around and congratulates itself on how tolerant it is, never recognizing how completely homogenous it is.
I put my ex-projects onto http://www.ex-prj.com. And I will put ex-prj.com onto itself.
I don't "dismiss" anything. Dismiss is defined by Merriam Webster as "to reject serious consideration of" (among other, irrelevant, meanings). I am doing quite the contrary - I seriously considered it and arrived to the conclusion that attributing a common, if unfortunate, occurrence in human interactions as a proof of special, discriminatory treatment of "women in industry" is wrong. Just as wrong as assuming anybody disagreeing with you just didn't consider your arguments - instead of entertaining the possibility they did seriously consider them and found them lacking.

I see lately more and more of examples where common problems - from petty nuisances to serious problems between people - are harvested to find various "isms" in them instead of treating them just as problems between humans - and I personally don't like it.

>>>> It's a pretty good way of marginalizing women in tech if that's what you're shooting for.

Of course that's what I am shooting for. Marginalizing women in tech is my lifelong dream, and every step takes me a bit closer to it. No way it could be I actually want to discuss the particular article and share my thoughts about it - you can easily see thought this ruse and reveal my true and terrible goal. Me pointing out it is a common experience not suggesting any "ism" is just a wheel in the huge oppression mechanism I am constructing. Now you have subverted my plans to oppress women everywhere, but I will retire to my dark fortress and come back with even more evil plan of marginalizing women in tech by pointing out maybe not everybody actually tries to marginalize women in tech. Watch out!
This is also what I do.
"men are always in competition."

I tend to think of this as dickheads are always in competition.

Facetiousness aside, this might be more of an American thing. When I was on a Dutch airbase on a joint exercise with various US and European military personnel (anyone else here from IJOLDS 2005? I'm so old :( ), there was a noticeable difference in styles. US was high competition, European was high cooperation. Is it the same in civil society?
Why does nobody think that the guy posted this here (@feedward) is _why himself?
So let me see if I understand your point. You are saying "they aren't using it so therefore we should be able to use it" and are somehow comparing that to what patent trolls do?

Further you are saying that someone who holds a domain name (or any property) should have to satisfy a requirement of "use" of that property or domain name? And if not they should sell it to you for a price that you find acceptable or maybe just give it to you?

If that is the case then please tell me who will be in charge of determining what "use" of a domain name is?

What do you define as a squatter? Because it's not someone who registers a domain name and just holds it although that is the popular culture interpretation of the word.

By the way there is no such thing as "arbitration" with domain names. There is the filing of a UDRP (which costs much much less and you can file on your own) but to do that you would have to have some basis. I can assure you that if you have just formed a startup you don't meet the requirements for filing a UDRP. It isn't meant to protect people who "just want a particular domain and the seller isn't being reasonable" it's meant to protect those with true intellectual property interests (from what I'm reading in your comment you don't meet this in any way).
In my career I have found a way that has worked for me really well, especially when I am the manager and even more especially given that I manage SMEs with far greater knowledge than I have in their area of specialty.

I have used the following to provoke thought and discussion around problems in a way that does not call anyone out:

Ill recap the decision, design or plan. Putting it on the whiteboard or in print or whatever format the succinct plan is in.

I then ask everyone on the team or in the meeting to look at it and specifically look for why it wont work or what is wrong with the plan.

Not what is wrong with WHO designed what - but tell the team why it wont work.

With the important distinction: Anyone one who brings up a reason why they think it wont work is not only heard, but if their reasoning for why it wont work is incorrect, the team explains why that risk or issue is mitigated by the plan.

For example, you have a design where one person perceives a single point of failure due to X. "well, we'd lose service if this device went down"

Then the team explains "well, actually that doesn't matter because we stay up due to [this design element over here]"

This brings everyone up to speed and educates them as to why the plan is such.

If something is brought up that is a valid miss - then its addressed and a plan on how to redesign for that condition is met.

The point is beat the design to death - not the person or team.

The team is supposed to put all their irons in the fire and forge out a solution together.
Why do you think he found less quality talent in Argentine? It's just cost of living there is less and smaller salary could be enough.
It's a book on entrepreneurship. It's only fitting that buying it is an entrepreneurial act (in the economic sense) :D
SMS is more of vestigial debug feature of GSM that was brilliantly commercialized than anything that has to do with SS7. And by the way SMS is out of band on the backhaul network, not on the air interface (and the whole SMS protocol on air interface is horribly complex and inefficient, it essentially involves building data call that passes SS7-like messages, typically one per such "call" in each direction, another funny fact of this technology is that address fields in these messages have larger maximum size (256B) than than actual SMS contents (140B)).

But when one wants to take SS7 into this dial tone discussion it is important to note that traditional SS7 call flow (INITIAL ADDRESS/SUBSEQUENT ADDRESS/ADDRESS COMPLETE) is designed for normal incremental dialing and not cell phone style number at once then send style. I'm too lazy to look it up but I believe that GSM's ISUP/DSS1 derived on air signaling protocol is capable of that too (although I've never seen device that allows user to do that). Relatively common user experience problem with VoIP deployments I have seen is that this is effectively impossible with SIP and user has either to explicitly end dialed number with something or wait for some timeout.
For some reason whenever I read something like this I always imagine the workplace being like the environment in Office Space.

I mean, what's a perf score? Why does everyone bureaucratize everything?

We have such finite lives, why are we putting ourselves through this?

Join a startup, go freelance, take the pay cut and enjoy life.

You have a skill that is highly sought after, you'll find a job where you're happier, if you don't, move on.

I swear, I know of so many notable startups (that are real companies with real revenues, with real benefits, great locations) that are dying to have more tech talent.

What I'm saying is that if you're going to be miserable in your work place, move on with your life!
These accomplishments are huge, even historic, when they come in pairs. The second half of the pair is broad deployment.
Yup! Probably the same guy.
I'm a guy, and I've never been mistaken for HR, but I always start interviews by telling people who I am in the company and what I do, so they have an understanding of what level we should be communicating on. As an interviewee, I don't want to talk shop with an HR person, and I don't want to pull punches with a technical person, so when I'm interviewing, I get it out of the way up front.

He found serious flaws in DNS and SSL. Of course one code review is not authoritative, but he is pretty credible.
Great point. I'd argue that a partnership with Twitter is amongst two equal (or near equal) parties OR one where Twitter is the smaller player. A non-partnership relationship is all relationships with Twitter that are between Twitter and a smaller organization.

It's completely asinine to have two separate policies for small kids and big kids, yet that's what we see at Twitter. Is this an example of the 80/20 rule or something more sinister? I'm not sure.

One thing's for certain: I hate Twitter's monetization strategy not because it doesn't work but because I find it distasteful.
Using the analogy of the current state of Twitter clients, I'd suggest that the possibility of Twitter taking away the option to easily use/link-to services that offer a better user experience is plausible, saying that they no longer add "unique value" to the Twitter platform.

edit: The warning signal should probably be louder for the partner providers though.
Or a UX designer that didn't want to sit down and study the platform's idioms.
That's covered in the first part, where it defines an infinite sequence of time stamps leading up to midnight. It assumes each task can be completed in half the time of the one before, but if you're going to argue about that then don't bother thinking about infinity at all.
Um, great, how am I supposed to trust the console if even logging in that one can be screwed up?
The first example, the HR one - where you just assume the women are the non-technical personnel and the men are the technical personnel? That one I believe because I know I've done it myself numerous times.

Too often this debate is painted as a battle of good vs evil, either derisively by its detractors or heroically by the firebrands. It's not good versus evil. It's just natural habits we've built up because technical women are really freaking rare. When I'm being interviewed by a woman, I assume she's HR and not tech because I think less of women... but because 90% of the HR people I've been interviewed by were women, and 100% of the technical people I've been interviewed by were men.

It's not some evil decision to keep women down, not even any kind of sexism of thinking less of women... just subconscious assumptions because we're used to the fact that the ladies in the room aren't really part of the technical side of the discussion.
Here's the truth: Lucid Chart hasn't figured out how to do social media properly. Now they're making excuses.

The fact is, many business are making a lot of money with their social media efforts.

My little company has tripled revenues since implementing an effective social media strategy. Nearly all of that increase is directly trackable back to the social media marketing we are doing.

Social media marketing can be hard. It requires different strategies than most people are implementing. But that doesn't mean it's worthless, it means that some strategies are worthless, while others are very, very, valuable.

W3Conf 2013: 10 More CSS Secrets (Lea Verou)
It is being used as a currency, and any metric on this far exceeds where people thought it would be a few years ago. It's also having massive adoption from a wide number of people. The reason the price is moving is not "speculation" as people seem to assume, but adoption.

MtGox said they were getting 20,000 new accounts a day recently. By definition, new accounts are not "speculators" putting in trades to manipulate the price, they are people putting in trades to acquire their first bitcoins.

People rushing into a currency, right after the EU forced bank depositors to lose %40-%60 of their money in a state run bank (which was only insolvent because they were forced to buy greek debt by the very same EU) is not "speculation" -- it is seeking a safe haven.

A lot of people hope bitcoin will be a safe haven away from these increasingly manipulated and untrustworthy national currencies.

That's a huge level of success, given the limited expectations for bitcoin only a few years ago.

Suddenly it's actually considered a viable store of value for some segment of the population. Sure, it's a small percentage, but still, it's massive.
Being pulled aside by your boss after rocking the boat is not likely to be interpreted as anything but negative.
