Love this article. It makes me think of my friends who are all techies, but somehow we're all hippies, only in our late twenties/early thirties.

The culture Andrew envisions is still alive and kicking. It's never on the front page, but it's always there, guided as ever by psychedelics and love of creating.
Well then maybe the way the market is only certain people can get paid that much (just like a random developer becoming the next Bill Gates). Also I said artist not musician, Bieber got to where he's at not for being a talented musician but for being an artist (attractive, catchy, etc).
I don't see why you care what 6 year olds or retired women make,
rendering your 5-10% meaningless. So really ~25% of women make more than there male counterparts.
anyone know what the 99 USD configuration includes, ram/flash wise?

English is not popular because it is "easy to copy" or any nonsense like that. As already mentioned, people who didn't speak English were killed. Likewise in the PHP boom, people who did not write PHP were underpaid(not all, but you get my point) - and BTW, the Web is not all a programmer has to/can hack on. Not sure why you put DNA in there, but I think the DNA is pretty expressive, powerful(packs a lot in a lot less) and Darwin has helped us understand evolution as a pretty systematic process. At least do some basic homework before making bold claims.
Android should embrace a Windows-style security update model
ofcourse this claim also included the wonderful phrase: "Up-to " implying that several trials were not so effetive
The trouble is that it doesn't help anyone on average if you can't identify whether they're in the relevant subpopulation before you give people them the drug. That's why the FDA doesn't approve such treatments.

Indeed, drug companies slice and dice their data from early clinical trials every which way to identify the best subpopulation to run their next trial on. Their interests are entirely aligned with figuring out some population for whom their drugs work.
We at Levion use Zimbra. It's not a bad mail system and I wish it were a tad bit more lightweight, but it has served us well. Of course, we have Zimbra running in its own ESX.
>This reminds me of a friend of mine who proxies all his web traffic through something which strips user agents and referrers. It's very easy for me to tell when he visits my website, because the logs show "-" for each of these fields.

I wonder if the best strategy, then, is to figure out a very common user agent string and use that. The EFF's Panopticlick might be a good start: https://panopticlick.eff.org.
I just have a couple of personal plugins that will change my reported UA slightly, my fonts collection slightly and some other random bits. Just screws it up enough so I know I'm not tracked.
> The difference is that having a college degree is a more-and-more important requirement for basically everyone not wanting a blue-collar job.

I hesitantly suggest that of the people who choose to go into blue-collar work, most are men.

(Of the people who go into blue-collar work not because that is what they want but rather because that is simply where their life takes them, I would expect more balanced numbers. I don't have any numbers at all to support any of this.)
Cheney is a war-monger, but in his defense, he came out in favor of gay marriage in 2004, before a lot of democrats who are on board with it now that it's not as controversial.

Almost every analysis I've ever read about the wage gap went beyond the pay difference to look at domestic work, child care, types of work available to men and women, number of men/women in a kind of work, etc.

> People overwhelmingly believe the lie that women get paid less for the same work, that would be a wage gap. Policy decisions are made based on that lie. Politicians now repeat that lie. This is a problem, and needs to be addressed.

Wouldn't addressing the lie include an acknowledgement of wage disparity outside of 'different pay for the same work'? Often I see this issue framed in terms of comparable work and work loads due to the difference in types of jobs and representation in certain fields.
WOW - he looks like an arabic George Bush.
Obviously I don't mean that I don't listen to women.

Nice site. Couple of pages and my feeling was "Shut up and take my money". Then more clicking. Oh, you want me to spam my friends? Hmm, I'd rather not do that. Ok, I'll click that scary button anyways. As an IT pro I know you can't actually send emails on my behalf. Good, there was actually a way to proceed without sending emails. Then click-click-click, more pages. Hey, now I can finally give some money! Page even says that payments are processed by PayPal. But.. Something is missing, I can't see any button to actually pay via PayPal.

Summary: giving should be easy. Nowadays I'm not very likely to give money (or even purchase stuff) if I can't do it via PayPal.
How to land a plane.
I noticed this as well. In an extreme case, we may see very small variance among placebo or control groups and several clusters in the group using an experimental drug. If one or more of those clusters significantly beats the control group and we can accurately classify patients into clusters, that's important information which simple means and medians may obscure.

This reminds me of the importance of looking at data and Anscombe's quartet [0].

Well, us Germans like to joke that the Swiss are a bit on the slow side, so from them I'd buy keeping data around for 6 months for that reason.

But what's your excuse ;)
Yes, but it doesn't let you combine multiple disparate (not all Gmail) inboxes into a single pane of glass like Mail.app does.
The article is completely misleading in this regard. Every modern clinical trial looks for these sub-populations. The article even states:

Sixty percent of the new drugs in the works at
Genentech/Roche are being developed with a companion
diagnostic test to identify the patients who are most
likely to benefit.

That said, it is extremely frequent that clinical trials that follow up on these sub-population observances find them to be statistical anomalies. When you have 100 ways to subdivide your populations, you expect to have some anomalies at a typical 5% confidence level.

The article points to I-SPY 2 as the future of clinical trials, making it sound like bayesian analysis is something novel to solely this clinical trial. As is alluded to in what you call the "defensive blog post", this is now standard practice in clinical trial design at most pharma companies. These companies don't like to throw 9 figures down the drain and they recognize that adaptive trial designs can get them statistical significance at lower cost while determining optimal treatment.

Is it possible to install Netflix without Google Play support? Because I imagine these devices might not have Google apps.
> "drug A show 50% vs. 20% efficacy vs. placebo and drug B showed 70% vs. 40% efficacy vs. placebo"

Which raises a further (or more basic) confounding factor: the placebo effect isn't fixed.

It does vary between trials and even appears to be steadily increasing in potency over time. [1]

So first-to-market drugs have an added advantage when naively considering "improvement vs placebo" -- as their test were run years ago, when the placebo effect itself was a weaker opponent.

That's one way to look at it. A more rational view is that "women skills" or what you might call them, are in higher demand in today's society than traditional male skills such as fighting, being agressive and lifting heavy things. Good riddance.
This makes me sad. The notifications that the Gmail app provides also show up for mails that are filtered outside the inbox. For example "junk" mails or social media notifications also show up even though they never reach my inbox but are filtered into labels. Another awesome point of the native notifications is that they disappear if you read the mail somewhere else, for example on your laptop. This helps prevent cluttering of the lock screen on iOS.
Show HN: API Changelog
The past few weekends I've been working on a side project called API Changelog. The site monitors the API documentation for 23 popular services like Facebook, Twitter, Dropbox, etc. When the docs change, it sends you an email. I review all the changes to make sure that typos and other non-material changes don't get through. It's free (sponsored by the company I founded).

Would love to get your feedback!

Wow, the slide in sharing with friends had one of those microscopic "skip" links that I usually associated with services trying to trick people into buying a paid upgrade. I was stuck on the slide to share it with my friends and was thinking, "OK, so this is like some massive chain letter, everyone will KNOW about the water crisis, but no one will be able to donate..."
In practice this is not effective, for as someone else noted, tracking can and is done at server level as well.

Most implementations, though, make the assumption that if they get JS info, that info is good. Better to give them wrong/inaccurate/changing JS info than no info.

So, I leave JS on, use some personal plugins to change variables and give them bad data on each request. They won't know and will just get bad fingerprints that are not seen again.

It is horrifying to read the comments here. In Germany, where I live, on average, a woman will earn less than a man IF EVERYTHING ELSE IS THE SAME. Here is the source (PDF, in German):

No, this cannot be easily dismissed, yes they corrected for all the obvious stuff, no they don't have an agenda. This is a report by the official statistics bureau for Germany. Maybe the data for other countries is not as good, but why do so many people here immediately snap into backlash mode without considering the possibility that this could actually be an existing pay bias?
If feminist complaints are acted upon by HR, and patriarchal complaints are not (if, in fact, they ever receive one), then you know on which side is HR.

Feminists see themselves as permanent underdogs, like the USA, but it just ain't true.
Just a side note, I was momentarily confused regarding the author of this article. I had thought that it was Valve Software's github account. It took visiting https://github.com/Valve/ to realize that it was a private account.

> They have to keep commodifying things to keep the share price up, but in doing so they have made all content, including music and newspapers, worthless, in order to make their billions.

This strikes me as typical Luddite hysteria. Of course they still have worth, the commodified version is the same as the original, and people are getting the same thing they got when buying a cd. The barrier is just drastically lowered.

I do agree on the commodification of human relationships, it's a fairly disgusting trend that I hope exhausts itself in the current social network form soon.
RT has some interesting interviews. Even Hillary Clinton found it impressive in respect of a state informational apparatus. [1]

These articles, without the documents/slides/files, to back them up, are little more than conjecture

Well now I'm sure you're trolling. Does the following sound "little more than conjecture". (These are quotes from the article that I linked in the post you replied to)

The files show that the NSA became concerned about the interception of encrypted chats on Microsoft's Outlook.com portal from the moment the company began testing the service in July last year.

Within five months, the documents explain, Microsoft and the FBI had come up with a solution that allowed the NSA to circumvent encryption on Outlook.com chats

A newsletter entry dated 26 December 2012 states: "MS [Microsoft], working with the FBI, developed a surveillance capability to deal" with the issue. "These solutions were successfully tested and went live 12 Dec 2012."

Two months later, in February this year, Microsoft officially launched the Outlook.com portal.
As a non-designer, I don't have the insight to understand why black text makes a site look outdated and trashy. As a user of web pages, I think that black text makes a site look professional. It also makes it possible to read without hurting my eyes. The light gray suggested in the article is very difficult to read and gives me the impression of a badly designed site. Just my opinion as a non-designer.
I know you are just making a point with the circular saw metaphor, but for those wondering here is some good info on how to use a circular saw as safely as possible:

You should avoid including script tags in the head because it introduces single points of failure in your app. Losing a few ms of 'analytics' time is better than providing your users with a broken site because your analytics scripts (or any other hosted JS files) didn't load and waited 5-15s to timeout (depends on browser).

Sadly the rk3188 on-chip controller is only capable of 100mbit. There's a few more (particularly Freescale) units with gigabit, but generally more expensive. Gigabit or USB3 is when these things start to look insanely attractive IMHO (as possibilities to attach e.g. storage to the external bus exist)
Not the same. It's just a trend, to use Ukelele happy songs. I think it sucks real bad.

> No one takes an indignant pornographer seriously so the industry doesn't spend much energy being indignant. It just grows and shrinks as it can or has to.

If only indignant moralistic artists were appropriately looked at as foolish. We live in a capitalist world, where the things sold are only limited by what they can give the customer. The artist loses the second they allow their music to be stored in a big, copy able file, and lose all value. Convenience is by far what drives my listening habits, so if you aren't on spotify, to me, might as well not exist (unless I pirate it.)
> Is this a patent issue or is it because no one else has figured out how to properly replicate that kind of functionality?

No, the patent is an issue because of what the iOS Mail app supports for push.
> Is there any indication that software running on the client is at risk?

Yes, Microsoft shares all of Windows vunerability with the NSA long before fixing them.

> I don't think storing information in the cloud using FOSS software is going to magically protect your information.

And you are right, it won't. Anything you send to 3rd party severs is gone.

To keep data private, you must keep it at your computers, run only audited FOSS that you compiled with a trusted compiler, encrypt it all the times it goes into a network (even your LAN), and hope that there isn't a firmware or hardware backdoor in your computer.
> There's no discrimination.

Or rather that the discrimination is cultural and leads to life choices that make the wage gap structural.

For example: We live in a culture that devalues young girls who excel in math, leading to lower achievement in this area[1]. By the time they go to college they choose differently than men and "work in different industries"

One question: how can the "no-license" option (i.e. "Copyright [year] [fullname]") allow "Private Use" and "Commercial Use"?

A couple things:

- Every job will have some level of frustration, so don't expect changing jobs to completely remove that from your life. That said...

- It sounds like your expectations don't meet that of your employer. If you meet to talk it over and it doesn't seem like it will get better, then you should probably start looking.

- Staying for stock options is almost never worth it unless you have a significant chunk and you're 100% convinced there will be a positive outcome. Since you're not a founder, it's highly unlikely they're worth staying for.

- If you choose to look around, be professional. Interview as much as possible before or after normal working hours and make sure to give two weeks notice once you take another position.

Putting ourselves in the other persons shoes is the critical skill for creating a better society.

Too often we promote assholes at work, and ideologues to public office. Anyone that changes their mind due to facts is guilty of a "flip-flop".

We need to start promoting leaders that have a track record of empathy for people that are unlike them.

Would I necessarily be? Perhaps I believe that speeding is particularly unsafe when it is not permitted and therefore not expected.

However I think this analogy has strayed too far and broken down. I'm not sure how complaining about others speeding maps back to encrypting email. (Also, I don't actually care when other people speed, so long as they don't do it recklessly ;)

You would be surprised. But to say the truth, I trust the OpenSSH code a lot more than any VPN software that you can install to prevent direct access to it.

As for updates, I imagine if you set up a domain you can run your own WSUS update server, MITM the connection, etc. - and then compare the behaviour with a "regular" home PC.

The problem really is how deep the hole goes - as per Ken Thompson "Reflections on Trusting Trust", 1984.

Abstaining != apathy.

If you vote "none of the above", or spoil your ballot, you have my respect. Heck, if you sit it out and chill, that's cool too.

But if you can't be bothered to participate, or worse discourage others with cynicism (Trey Parker, Matt Stone), and then complain, I have nothing but contempt for you.

That said, running one's own email server is nothing like voting.
Before the Model S, purchasing an electric car would mean that you are sacrificing performance, luxury, styling, and range for a clean, efficient, electric car. With the Model S, the only sacrifice you make is the range. Everything else is on par, or better, than other vehicles in it's class. People aren't only buying it because it's electric, they're buying it because it's a great car.

Your projections are completely accurate. The only thing I would add is that my own fiancee is a woman in tech (she's a frontend developer), so it isn't like I'm hostile to women in tech or anything.
At this stage in your career, don't quit a job until you can line another job up. That said, if you can line another up that progresses your career, don't hesitate to quit.

As the old saying goes, you have to look out for #1 (you): no one else is going to in the working world.

While I'm all for moving on and up, though, when your career is just beginning, gaps between jobs don't look great, even if you have a good story for why they exist. Thus, don't leave until you have a new place to go.

And remember another age-old saying: "the grass is always greener..."
Most startup jobs in SF have similar management styles and work demands. The main reason to change is to make more money and/or work on a cooler project. The weird managers, midnight IMs and weekend work requests never go away.
Totally agree sorry if that came across differently in my comment :)
I like slicing and dicing with awk, grep and friends too.

One thing I find odd that you have to drop to a full language (awk, perl etc) to sum a column of numbers. Am I missing a utility?

echo "1\n2\n3\n" | sum # should print 6 with hyphothetical sum command

I suppose more generally you could have a 'fold initial op' and:

echo "1\n2\n3\n4\n" | fold 0 + # should print 10
echo "1\n2\n3\n4\n" | fold 1 \* # should print 24

But I guess at that point you're close enough to using awk/perk/whatever anyway. Which probably answers my question.
Google has found out how to do it just fine on Android. But they don't control iOS. If you want a new system for e-mail pushing on iOS you need to be looking at Apple for innovation.
