The graph shows that for individual positions within a single profession, men make more than women. The PayScale page I linked to also shows the same thing.

The text of your link says that "the gender wage gap disappears for most positions". How is that not the opposite of the graph and the data?

I'm not trying to defend the example in detail—I agree that they don't have an obvious, rigorous categorical connection. I broadly think that with so little polymorphism you're not going to get a terrific categorical reading. I agree with the op that they still "feel" adjoint and may have a better reading there with a little generalization.

But yeah, it's not the greatest example. I don't mean to defend it as something rigorous.

I think is has to do more with the role of security/fraud in companies vs advertising.

For instance, security doesn't get much attention and people view it as a necessary evil. Fraud is about loss prevention in most cases, so the way you show your value is how much you save the company in loses. Your revenue is typically a fraction of those savings.

Most companies using tracking in advertising are still operating at a loss or have fuzzier ideas of "revenue". TBH, advertising is weird. People spend money like water without really knowing what they are getting in return. This obviously won't last, but there is money to be made in the meantime. At least that is my experience.
Excellent page. Only thing missing is the GPL vs LGPL issue about viral and non-viral copyleft. I am not saying that being viral is a good or bad thing, it is just a choice a developer must make when picking a license.

One of the problems with clinical trials is when industries have billions of dollars to spend creating drugs.

If I flip a fair coin 100 times, and it comes up heads 65 times, we can reasonably conclude that it's not a fair coin.

If I flip 100 coins 100 times and one of them comes up heads 65 times, the probability that it is the unfair coin is much lower.

So it's important to take into account all of the failed drugs during clinical trials when you see one that has succeeded. Especially when a company has gone through dozens or hundreds of failed drugs before coming up with a successful one, you need to make sure that the trials have been numerous to overcome Hoeffding's bound.

Push notifications from the GMail app and Mailbox are not the same as what you get with Mail.app. With Mail.app, mail is downloaded in the background and immediately available when you launch the app. With the others, you launch the app and then stare at the screen for 5 - 10 seconds while mail is downloaded.

iOS 7 is adding a feature that will allow downloading data in the background and hopefully Mailbox and the GMail app will take advantage of that. But in the meantime: fetch, get Google Apps for $5/mo, or deal with the annoying wait
Many initscripts are provided by the software and distributions replace them with their own. The distributions themselves are at fault for not using an upstream initscript. There is also nothing stopping a distribution from replacing the software provided systemd config file, which themselves can contain snippets of executable shell code and thus not reap the benefits of upstream fixed bugs.
I think the main points WebSocket vs. unrestricted TCP sockets is:

> Furthermore, insofar as you create competition to hold that position, you're creating a destructive work environment. Software development is a cooperative activity that can't be efficiently partitioned.

Seen way too many of these kinds of management structures. The management decides to appoint the crony as the lead, because picking the best developer is "wasteful" and creates a "destructive work environment". The amount of cringe inducing perversion of logic in the comment above is a tragedy because of its pervasiveness. On the flip side, these kinds of organizations are not too hard to avoid, doomed startups and successful behemoths - both fit these criteria. A smaller company with decent growth is probably the better bet.

Whilst I don't see this being resolved any time soon, the whole thing is getting a little stale. It's the major record labels and the artists who've had (often big) pre Internet successes that are complaining the loudest.

Things change (for some better, for some worse) - but you have to adapt and get on with it. Artists are still making (and enjoying making) music and labels are still releasing music. The ones that go the furthest are the ones that embrace the situation, take advantage of it and work towards making the most of it.

Hell, a lot of the younger artists and labels don't know any different.
I've had terrible, terrible experiences with the gmail app's push notifications. It will literally push the same notification about the same email to me every 7-ish minutes for DAYS at time. It seems completely random about which email it chooses to get stuck on, and it doesn't help to mark the message read, delete it, or sacrifice a goat to google. There has been a thread going about it since last september, with hundreds of replies: http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/gmail/x-AIvOGG...
The best definition of hacker uses the word 'ingenuity'. It's true that you can do clever things with limited knowledge, but the best and most impressive hacks require deep knowledge. It follows from that that a site for hackers will encourage system knowledge and clever, unexpected adjustments. And if you're following complete instructions you're not hacking.

What most users probably don't realize is that the redirection can be anywhere on the line, not just at the beginning. Putting an input redirection at the beginning of the command can make the data flow clearer: from the input file, through the command, to stdout:

< data.csv awk -F "|" '{ sum += $4 } END { printf "%.2f\n", sum }'

(This only works for simple commands; you can't do `< file if blah; then foo; else bar; fi`)

If it does get revoked, they can just remove that part of their service, and continue to allow people to upload their certs, keys and provisioning profiles for building server side. (o.O)

Once MBS becomes more popular, Apple will have to react to prevent others from abusing this. This is the first real test I can recall of their enforcement policy.

How come that "the theory that made up an imaginary language" correctly predicted the existence of laryngeal phonemes in the Hittite language before the Hittite language was even known to exist? Stroke of luck, that a group of unknown consonants from an "imaginary language" appeared in a real language in exactly the right place in the right words?

Also, the notion that the PIE reconstructions describe a "language" in the sense that we usually understand it (a vernacular tongue of a group of people in a single time and place) is a false one: even though the reconstructions with very high likelihood represent individual IE language features in an old form thereof, it would be a folly to try to slap them together and say "this is a language that someone spoke", for the same reason you can't reconstruct individual genes from the tree of mammals, slap them together and say "this was the first mammal". It doesn't work like that. What you get is a constrained probability function over possible languages, not a single solution with 100% probability.

> Dual gigabit, wi-fi and the ability to run Ubuntu makes this very interesting for a "home router / hub" type device.

For that type of appliance, I'd rather have OpenWRT than Ubuntu. Comes pre-fit to the job at hand. And with a reasonable secure configuration by default, as opposed to whatever the thing you've hacked together yourself accidentally leaves open.

That said: Having medium-powered, cheap, compact and appliance-like general purpose computing available is certainly a nice change.

Big computers with lots of cores and gigahertz gets boring pretty quickly. These kinds of things sort of takes computing a bit more back to its roots.

This is great, and something we as a community need. I work on CocoaPods the objc dependency manager and we have a strict rule of no-unlicensed code. Meaning for a lot of libraries adding themselves to our toolchain is the first time they've ever had to think of the license.

As this is a github project, I'd definitely like to make it known that it would be really cool to have some integration with the license on github's side on a per-repo basis. Asking people to create a license when creating a public repos at the same time as a README could really help get people thinking about licensing.
One thing you should keep in mind when doing this is all traffic will be routed through the gateway, so if you say had a home desktop connected with a VPS running as the OpenVPN server, connections routed to the home desktop will go through the VPS first. This can be a significant bandwidth/latency addition, depending on your needs. Obviously much less significant if everything will be physically colocated.
Granted that's a bit tidier than doing this in JS:

var myProprietaryDateFunction = function(dt) {
return dt.getDate()+'.'+dt.getMonth()+'.'+dt.getFullYear();
};

But in JS, you can pass that function around like a village bicycle -when I think back to my C# days, it makes me wonder how I ever did without functions as first class objects and a slew of other really great things about JS. A lot of those things are brainbangers at first, to be sure - but when you finally grasp them (for me, at least) you start to see that the things that make JS "ugly" to the novice are the same things that make it powerful and elegant in the hands of a master. To each his own - and there are things I do really miss about C# from time to time... but for me, I am all too happy trade the tidier date.Format() for the more powerful underlying functional constructs any day.
Same here. The most disconcerting part for me is if I join a popular service that doesn't confirm email ownership, I'll sometimes find myself with access to somebody else's personal information/photos/social network. Which might technically be hacking under the law? It's a bit worrisome.

AKA flat sheet, which is really a more descriptive term, as it usually does not go on the top of the bedding stack.

I don't see how tacking the flat sheet to the duvet cover helps--yes, it keeps the sheet from getting wadded at the foot of the bed, but you lose the ability to throw off the duvet and keep the flat sheet over you in the middle of the night. I guess I could unsnap the two pieces, but that takes somewhat more consciousness and cognitive skill than I generally possess while sleeping. In order to do it, I'd have to rise further out of slumber, which would be a less-desirable outcome than having to pull up a sheet in the morning.

Maybe people who thrash about so violently that they wad the flat sheet into a ball at the foot of the bed are so light-sleeping that they'd hardly notice the slumber-level change necessary to affect the coverage shift.

On the other hand, I'm really digging the idea of a flat sheet with a pocket, to keep it well-tucked while deployed. Kickstarter me that and I might invest.
> That's why "equivalent education and experience", as flawed as our attempts to measure them might be, is a very important qualifier.

It's important, but how does one really qualify for equivalent education and experience? Usually when I see articles make assertions about the wage gap, the nature of the control for that equivalency is not stated, and the reader is left to assume that Simpson's paradox has been addressed. Never answered are the question about whether they've controlled for, say, two different MD specializations with different earning potential, different courses taken during a single degree program, or degrees from different institutions, or any of the other potential educational backgrounds that might be relevant.

Besides, in a market economy, education and experience are not valued, performance is, where sometimes future performance must be predicted. Education and experience are merely one predictor of performance.

This CEO study is interesting because it sidesteps the equivalent education and experience question. But that still limits its applicability and leaves plenty of unanswered questions about why the differences were found.
The GPL is not more "viral" than any other software license.
