There are studies showing that the unconscious effect exists. But it's definitely conscious at times.

I know a few people in HR in Silicon Valley, and here are a few things they've heard from actual hiring managers:

"You don't have any kids? Great, we can work you harder!"

"If he had to reschedule the phone interview because his kid is sick, I don't want to move forward hiring him. He obviously has his priorities wrong."

"I don't know, she's at just about the age most women get pregnant. Don't we have a guy we could interview?"

:-(
Could you elaborate, I'm failing to read between the lines.

The software simply attempts to read the device's root folder. Success == Jailbroken.

EE grads occupy an interesting identity crisis. While on one hand they want to pass off as ECE (computer-engineering) candidates with decent programming skills, they also want to identify with being an "applied math" or "Alogirthm" engineer.

Unfortunately in today's world nimbleness in learning new s/w skills is valued more than having specific expertise is "speech coding" or "image segmentation", etc. Further more, it is easier to be a generalist as a pure CS person, than being a hard-core EE person. Bottom line the "tool" has become more important than the "solution".

Inevitably, being a specialist means the labor force is fragmented, and purely from a relative comparison to the CS "supply-demand" situation, its a relatively "low-supply [specialized] - low-demand" situation.

It not that you are undervalued or underemployed as the article might suggest (btw I wouldn't read too much into the first quarter results on unemployment figures/ considerations on how many to include in labor force, etc.), but its more like being a "lightly traded stock, with not much liquidity, high big-ask spreads".
A telephone interview will accomplish the same thing, and reduces travel expenses to boot.

In fact telephone, or skype, interviews for the first round is actually becoming standard in many fields.
Not directly related but I have one major gripe with ELB--am hopeful you have some inside knowledge and a possible workaround.

I use CloudFlare for DDoS protection which Amazon doesn't offer. For apex domains, ELB requires route53 exclusively but that conflicts with CloudFlare which also requires DNS be hosted there. Since ELB uses CNAME records I haven't been able to find a way for the CloudFlare and ELB to work together (short of polling ELB IP changes every minute which doesn't really work out that well).
The examples shown in the post aren't wrong because they fail the grep test, they are wrong because they A) capture an uninteresting abstraction that is not likely to see much usage as the program gets more complex, B) mix up domain code with tooling code that if at all gets developed should end up being part of a framework, plugin, base class etc.

The general underlying problem is that a lot of people stick with those "principles" (which are rules of thumb, often weak ones at that) they have read somewhere without developing a real understanding of software design. Slogans like DRY or SRP seem to blind people to often simple forseeable consequences of their design decisions.

Software design boils down roughly to two abilities: one is imagining a great many ways of structuring a program, the other is the understanding of practical consequences of a given program structure. So a good software designer must ask him- or herself: why code repetition is a bad thing? And the answer is that there is absolutely _nothing_ wrong. What is wrong is that a logically or structurally common aspect of the problem didn't receive the recognition in the form of an abstraction (a method, class, variable, interface ...). Then you waste time by not being able to reuse this abstraction, when something about this common aspect changes you are forced to go through fifty places and modify the code, but the worst thing is that there is a limit of the amount of details a programmer can keep in his or her head, and the less you are able to structure your program the more restrictive will be limit of the problem complexity you will be able to tackle. That's the reason software design is at all important.

There are cases however when there is no real logical common denominator to two pieces of code and they are similar practically by accident. It is just as wrong to abstract an accidental similarity as it is not abstract an existing one; soon the requirements change and the abstraction will have to be abandoned, code copied and developed in divergent ways.

Finally, people start attempting metaprogramming way before they had learnt enough about structuring programs using basic means, like breaking things down into classes and methods appropriately, data-driving your programs etc. Yes, this is actually a skill, and unless you rewrite some of your own programs 5-10 times and compare their structure you won't learn it. I also recommend reading some classical books: SICP, Refactoring, Refactoring To Patterns, Effective Java, Programming Pearls.

And the ultimate lessons come from maintaining your own code for a few years.

Every american employer asks for that, it's a legal thing I believe, and (supposedly) not related to hiring.
"In 1999, more than one-quarter of America's nearly 150,000 meatpacking workers suffered a job-related injury or illness. The meatpacking industry not only has the highest injury rate, but also has by far the highest rate of serious injury—more than five times the national average, as measured in lost workdays. If you accept the official figures, about 40,000 meatpacking workers are injured on the job every year. But the actual number is most likely higher. The meatpacking industry has a well-documented history of discouraging injury reports, falsifying injury data, and putting injured workers back on the job quickly to minimize the reporting of lost workdays."

Not sure how that's a political issue.

"Well, what if I do start crying?" I ask the woman who warns me to keep it together no matter how awfully I'm treated. "Are they really going to fire me for that?"

"Yes," she says. "There's 16 other people who want your job. Why would they keep a person who gets emotional, especially in this economy?"

Not sure how that's a political issue either.
I would also argue that there's substitution effects too. Many Americans capable of getting into the top Econ Phd programs can get salaries post-undergrad that would rival their post-Phd salaries. This is less true of students in many other countries.
At good places you sometimes run into professors that you have difficulty understanding. At bad places they won't recruit professors that you have difficulty understanding because the darling students will complain.

That complaint of yours - it says more about the fellow who makes it that it does about the TAs.
I don't think you're off topic at all.

They don't use that information for interviewing/hiring decisions. If they have any contracts with the federal government, they are legally required to collect that information about applicants specifically for compliance with equal opportunity employment.

In other words, no one was looking at that information when looking at your resume. Someone in HR was looking at aggregate data at the end of the year to say "Hey, we're hiring group X at above/below average" or in the event of a lawsuit to prove they don't discriminate.
Boeing Dreamliner Fire Shuts Heathrow as Second 787 Aborts Trip
Indeed. I, for one, think that over-proliferation of DSL's can be a Bad Thing. To use one example from my own experience: I spend a lot of time coding in a Groovy / Grails environment. Now, I like Grails and Groovy, but Grails introduces it's own weird DSLs for things like:

configuring Spring Beans
configuring Log4J
defining URL mappings
configuring Hibernate mappings & queries
etc.

Now some of those are cool, but at least some of them replace other techniques that I already know, and find much more readable and understandable. Configuring Log4J, for example. I'd much rather simply jam a log4j.xml in there and forget about the Grails DSL.

The thing is, none of these DSL's is, in and of itself, necessarily bad in any way... but there's a bit of "cognitive overload" in having to deal with 3 or 4 or 5 new DSLs, on top of the base Groovy stuff. The flip side is, these DSLs mean that your configuration is done mostly in .groovy files and you can use normal groovy syntax for looping and accessing variables, etc. So it's easier to code up more dynamic configurations than if you were using XML files or .ini files.

Anyway, the point of this rant is not to say "DSLs are bad" but just to lend weight to the suggestion that they aren't universally Good either.
"It's absolutely fine not to care about every social cause out there."

I'm impressed with your reply and the way it is phrased. Not typical for HN (and other places) where you can and do get jumped on because people feel differently or feel you have to care about what they care about or what a crowd thinks is important. Very well put.

"But I'm sure that there are other things in your life"

This really is one of my core problems with people judging. They don't know the complete picture and focus on one vary small thing and make their judgement from that.

For example maybe someone doesn't like recyling (and never recycles) but is free with their time and help in another area that has much greater personal and societal benefits.
Let's see if we can remember about Amazon doing this kind of shit as well as we remember about Linode's security breaches.

So if someone buys the app legitimately from the App Store with a jailbroken phone, they'll still get this popup? That's pretty ridiculous. This isn't about stopping piracy or shaming pirates, it's a blanket accusation that all iPhone owners who jailbreak their phones are thieves.
Because designing V0.1 of your application from the ground up based on edge cases is a Great way to never release anything. Spending a weekend setting up a static failover on the other hand has no long term downside and let's you put off worrining about a host of those edege caeses without any real down side. It's like buying a UPS for your dev box it's probably never going to matter, but it's cheap so feel free.

> not have aircraft using them for landings, takeoffs, and taxiing.

Okay, that makes sense now: The regular infrastructure is needed for the emergency infrastructure. The analogy would be, that an admin could log in unless the site were taken down. That would be terrible for a website, but it makes sense for physical infrastructure.
The real question is why the SEC scrutinized him in particular. They do not have the resources needed to scrutinize everyone or catch everyone who engages in insider trading.
Actually, it's not any harder to write maintainable code in Arc. In many ways, it's much easier, because you write your program as a set of parts which fit together like an arch.
I'm well aware of where Qt has (and has not) been able to run.

What I'm saying is that it's a lot easier to make new ports now than it was back then. This was mostly driven by Nokia's requirements, but it's still useful in the context of making a version that would run on Mir.
I am more bothered no European country stood up to offer him asylum. Granted its laughable to think the US would be safe haven for someone from the EU, but it needs to start somewhere.

As much as I am discomforted by continued erosion of privacy and as much as I intend to try and keep mine intact as possible, I think this backlash will come to essentially nothing. Convenience is too great so people would just gradually learn to live in a world where mostly anything you do is public unless you go to great lengths to hide it. For the next generation, it just would be the new norm and I don't think we can do much about it. We can try to minimize harm done to civil liberties, etc. but I don't think we can prevent the change from happening.
Is that what it means? I keep wondering why the news services keep bringing it up.
True. It'd be better to say that storage is cheap at large quantities of scale.
if someone made an sGoogle/sFacebook/s whatever that could move your info and maintain same look/functionality with one button, people would switch, because a button switch for more security (like turning the deadbolt on your door) is something people are willing to do. Otherwise the cost of switching is too high.
This is one of the two-way street issues. There is real business value to be extracted from exploiting the existing sexism in society, agreed, but in doing so, it also reinforces that existing sexism. It's a vicious cycle of mutually supporting behavior.

That is a problem. Denying said value is not necessarily the best solution, but some solution is necessary.

Good universities in the US are really very, very good - it makes sense for them to recruit internationally. But bad universities, man, they are just plain awful.

I think the graduate program at Dead Squaw College, IA should close its doors today instead of keeping its head above water with foreign students. With that kind of doctoral degree they hand out there no one finds employment, either in the US or abroad.
Fascinating writeup. A couple of quick thoughts:

- It sounds like one of the problems you ran into was massive undercapitalization. While some businesses can grow without spending anything on staff, promotions, marketing, etc., that's not the norm. Figure out how you can inject more resources into your business. Cash/barter/debt are all viable strategies (although debt is a potential time-bomb.)

- <4 months part-time is't really enough time to spend on a business before evaluating it as a failure. While pivoting may make sense, I'm pretty sure that $300 + 120 days doesn't generate enough data to say anything conclusive.

- SaaS products like Rakasheets are deceptively expensive for customers. This is good for the SaaS provider. Your middle-priced plan is ~$700 annually; factor in low turnover if you do a good job, and you're basically selling software in the $1500+ range. Keep this in mind when figuring out how to promote your product. The cheapest promotion channels may not be best for a relatively high-priced (vs consumer-targeted) product.

- If you're low on cash, try direct sales to start. That's you on the phone, or sending email. Or getting in your car and driving, if your area warrants it. If you're really offering something that will benefit your prospects' business, they want to hear from you.

Good luck!

If your company is discriminating, it's not getting the best applicant for the job, it's getting the best young male for the job. That is missing out on at least 60% of applicants. That should be all the reason any intelligent person needs to be concerned about these factors. It is hard to hire good people. Also the pool of individuals discriminated against by other employers is perhaps more likely to contain qualified people who have not been hired.
It's been a while and I'm no expert, but my impression from the reporting around the 787 problem -- and from some comments on HN -- is that Musk's technology was specifically engineered to be outside the envelope of these problems: Cell size, heat dissipation, cut outs, etc.

Boeing, by contrast, more or less attempted to introduce some... "buffering" into their extant design: (Additional) cell spacing -- as much as they could wedge in -- and maybe some other tweaks. Rather than really fixing the underlying problem.

I may be all wrong/wet, but that's the impression I was left with.

I think that if Boeing wants to salvage a good degree of near term profitability on this product line, they should begin talking to Musk. Actually, were it my call, even if the decision was to "fix" what they already had, I probably would have run a parallel examination and perhaps testing out of Musk's technology. Some millions on such an effort would be cheap "insurance", to bend that word -- no guarantee of a workable alternative, but a decent bet. And, even if you fix what you have, you now have a redundancy... and maybe you've learned something, along the way.

In short, Boeing needs to lop the top off a few internal egos, perhaps. Just speculation on my part, but...
I have no problem with protesting the work people do. I just have a problem with locking them out of the protest.
I would be fine with consistency. The SEC should not charge this man, or charge him and every person who is aware of any non-public government contract and trades in the sector the contract pertains to. Within reason, of course. Like, executives of all firms with (prospective or realized) government contracts, any time they buy or sell the stocks of their own firms, or grant themselves equity. Do we have any reason to believe that the law is enforced in this manner in general, or is it more likely that this is not the case, and it was enforced in an unusual manner in this particular instance?
Putting the new and old logo on different color backgrounds makes it much harder to notice the difference in the two designs.
It's a surprise that there hasn't been more exploits through major extensions - or maybe they've just not been discovered yet - either by a malicious developer or a repo being compromised.

I keep them mostly disabled - just can't fathom why a simple extension (e.g. to pretty print JSON) seems to need the access levels on the install warnings.

Rule of law would be a step up from how we're seeing the US behave right now.
> No matter how many times the state violates that trust, you do not acquire that option, your option is the same as it was to begin with, serve or die.

You do have options though. Go somewhere that has no state, convince the people to disestablish the state (oh, and somehow prevent them from re-establishing one), or go somewhere that has a state that you would be willing to serve.
Doesn't a car typically break down at least once every 33 service years or so, too? For that matter, I wouldn't be too surprised if 1/33 cars crashed each year (or significantly higher than that), so I think that the 787 is still looking pretty reliable in comparison. (maybe not in comparison to a 747, but that's a different argument)
On point #2 I would love to be able to be able to use a self-signed certificate and pin it for my extension.

The cert I use for my backend doesn't need to be part of the existing trusted CA infrastructure if I control the clients.
