That article was over a year ago. Apple's stock has appreciated about 25% since.

I don't think you have much of a point here. Apple is priced on a presumption by Mr. Market that it will never have another major product line and associated high-growth revenue stream. The price has little to nothing to do with its sustainability investments, because they have no impact on its ability to create another breakthrough. (In other words, Apple's future success is clearly not due to capital constraints. Knowledge constraints are the limit.)
More accurate yet at the same time less specific.
It's not that the numbers are "right" or "wrong." It's that the data shows there is nothing inherent about computer science that excludes women. So if women are not interested these days, there is something about the current state of affairs that is creating the friction. What we are doing here is rejecting the hypothesis "Women are simply, as a matter of nature, disinclined to go into computer science."

"Right" and "wrong" are judgment calls, though most people do feel that keeping women out of a field with no natural barriers to them is wrong. Regardless of your personal values, the historical data shows that whatever barriers exist are not natural.
>Except you won't die from sitting home in your pajamas.

I won't argue that it's not far safer than a lot of other jobs, but there are definitely health risks to having a sedentary job if you don't work on mitigating them on your off hours. Also, stress.
>There's also a striking parallel in something he said: the stress in A&E is about me not having control. So I think it's important to have a hobby where you do have complete control. If programming is a hobby where you do have complete control, what does it say about the people it attracts?

I'm a firefighter/paramedic. He's exactly right that the most stress you'll ever feel is taking care of a critically ill or injured person and feeling like you're "behind" the call.

I'm also a full time developer (and part-time sysadmin). The two disciplines have a lot more in common than you might think. Debugging is debugging, it's just that the stakes are a bit higher in the back of the rig.

Financial reality means I get paid to use vim and save lives for free (well, less than free, I paid ~$6k in tuition to get my paramedic certification). I love my day job (I work for Silent Circle with some of the coolest and smartest people I've ever met), but I do hope that someday I get to flip which skill I get paid for full-time.

Global type inference is the ultimate goal, local type inference is the compromise.

Global type inference would generate documentation automatically, to some extent.
I hope they are successful, especially with the most recent update to Google Maps which is pretty poor in my opinion.

That said, its extremely difficult to do really good maps over a wide area. Having seen, from the inside, some of the stuff Google went through to get the 'truth' about what is on the ground, and continues to do, its quite an intense undertaking.
It is absolutely fine! Seriously. Thank you for responding. I do not feel negatively toward you. It is not an individual problem. It is structural, which is why it should be combated as social groups (women, disabled, ethnic minorities).
No, but I have made a site that's not too far away from that, and been around the Maps API forums enough to know that plenty of sites like that exist.
These companies invest specifically so they can get stuff on the ballot at shareholder meetings and it often doesn't take very much at all. I believe it depends in part on the bylaws of a given corporation.

There's a similar group with a similar agenda who trolled GE after GE announced some kind of wind power initiative. I don't know how much stock they owned but given GE's market cap at the time, I'm sure it wasn't a lot of the company on a percentage basis...

In my office, the ratio of man to women is 1:1 under 24. After that it skews.

The last 3 female co-workers we had to replace decided to be full time moms.

So, please, explain how lowering the expectations of every woman that soldiers on and not go be full time moms/wifes is improving our lives?

This is nothing but a short term gain with longer term side effects. A few women now cling to those handicaps to reap the easy benefits, while contributing to the overall notion that woman can't still be equal because, well, they still need the handicap.

But go on. convince yourself of what you want and enjoy the brief spotlight.
Yes I realize that most of the people want that. But I believe that if we try and take the quick route it will over time only make the situation worse.

Of course, you are correct in your statement that men outnumber women in the field of IT. But I disagree with the statement that we have to do anything special about that unless that special thing is the golden rule to treat others how you want be treated yourself.

I don't want to be put aside, or left behind just because there is less women in the job that I may apply to in the future. So I treat any such endeavor to endorse gender-promotion as a hostile action, because it is unless the goal isn't equality. I want people to have equal chance and the route we're on now is not heading in that way at all.

The goal is clear and so should the message be, the goal will be reached as any other goal gets reached. You take one step in the right direction and educate people on why it's important to treat each other as equals. If this path won't change, I will get older with the same views on the society I have now. Who knows, perhaps I will employ people in the future and I will bring my experience with it. As will a lot of other people with the same experience of getting put aside, left behind or not valued as they should because of their gender.

From my experience and if it carries on and get worse do you really think women (in this case) will benefit from that? All it says to me right now is to have suspicion against women in IT, since they're getting all kind of help to be promoted and their skills or experience may very well not be real. How may I know the difference? Will she deliver? All those questions and certainly there are a few will just make it easier for the employer to pick the employ the other gender. This is as well as true for women-dominated work environments.

I'm not saying I actually will do that if I become an employer, but as it is right now that's unfortunately the way it's headed and is the hard truth. There is a lot of people that feels like this, probably on both sides of the gender. Even if we get downvoted on community sites just because right now our thoughts are "wrong" it won't change the fact that endorsing a gender in the name of equality is not just a cruel thing to do, it's counter effective. It is easy to breed hate, it's a lot harder to get rid of it. Trust me, I am one of those people that will hate if it just continues.

Like the overwhelming majority of people reading this article I possess the capability of criticizing the author but not the power to dictate changes to the Tesla roadside assistance policies. Although I agree with your implication I should be granted the power to dictate changes to Tesla's policies, unfortunately, at this time Tesla Motors has not yet come around to our way of thinking.
>But Koslowski says those old batteries could also become part of a robust secondary market. They could, for instance, store energy generated by home solar grids, which can make use of less-than-full strength cells because they don’t have to go anywhere.

Is that how the degradation curve of LiIon batteries goes? My experience with them in consumer electronics has been that they seem to drop capacity about linearly for a while, and then suddenly there's a massive drop-off and the battery becomes more of a brick than anything.

I got the original message (or at least the beginnings of one).

OP started off on the narrow path of understanding with balancing viewpoints, but then fell off by representing Rand as unconditional support for corporate domination, and went on to imply that her writings inspired these before-her-time titans to boot. So I pointed out the absurdity by expanding on it.

Besides what's really more interesting, analyzing caricatures of ideologies, or time machines?
Yea, I was surprised when Firefox opened a second infobar to ask me if another flash plugin should be allowed, after I'd closed the first. I should probably file a bug.
Agreed - this is what I did.

I didn't know how to type properly for a long time, so when I finally decided to learn to type, I had the same thought: learn to type using something that's actually designed for typists.

I looked at a few layouts: Dvorak, Colemak and fully optimised QFMLWY. I chose Colemak because QFMLWY takes too much effort to install (Colemak is supported in Linux and OSX out of the box and is easy to install on Windows) and Dvorak, while an improvement over QWERTY, still seemed archaic to me (having been created before computers).

I absolutely love Colemak - it does exactly what it advertised to do. Its very comfortable, alternating hands a lot and moving the most used keys to strong fingers and easy to type keys. I'm also often amazed by how much I can type with just the home row (in fact, I have a cheapo laptop with a cheapo keyboard that i use and the home row keys are most worn of all, except maybe that one spot on the space bar). Of course, since I never touch typed qwerty, I can't compare.

For learning, I used a blank DAS keyboard. Took about two weeks of pain, but I feel the blank keys really helped force me not to look at the keyboard. Now I don't care about key markings and happily use qwerty markings on my Colemak keyboards.

New York City - Moat

Moat is a rapidly growing analytics startup with products in two core areas:

1) Analytics

We analyze content and advertisements for many of the most trafficked websites on the Internet. Receiving terabytes of data a day, we measure more than just clicks and impressions, giving our customers insights with metrics like viewability, attention and much more. Our client base is growing very quickly.

2) Search

We index the Internet for online ads. This helps advertisers, publishers, and companies throughout the ad-tech ecosystem see the ads their competitors are running and allows us to estimate each company's online ad footprint. We have a free product, moat.com and a premium product, Moat Pro.
We're quickly turning into one of the biggest Python shops in NYC and are committed to open source technology. We’re growing very quickly and are looking for engineers in various roles up and down the tech stack to help us scale.

Openings can be found at jobs.moat.com

>The key is realizing that unfortunately this is your natural tendency, to set you MAX to the most stressful situation you usually encounter and to work against this natural tendency: just image how much worse things could actually be

I have, perhaps unwittingly, done just that, and I've found it to be extremely helpful in my professional life. I'm a full time developer, and volunteer paramedic. This has seriously recalibrated my definition of an 'emergency' (if there's an emergency at work, it means the servers are _literally_ on fire).
The US government and people seem to be capable of deluding themselves that they are world-class in a wide range of endeavors where they actually rank below relatively poor, relatively new republics like Lithuania.

Seriously, why the hell does Ukraine want to join the EU? They don't meet the criteria to be even allowed to join the EU afaik and why would the EU allow a country in inflation to join? Except to suck up all of their Oil reservoirs for free, that means giving them a huge credit (which of course won't help them). Just like the German credit didn't help Greece.

Albeit I believe I might be terribly wrong on some of this, I think that I better have a picture, than none. My own answers are like this:

The USA avoids a direct conflict with the Russians, by subverting the country to join the EU, which then will allow US troops to be placed near Russia. I would think that this could give the USA a win at first-strike chance in a possible WW3 scenario. They don't even need to ship an atom bomb over from the USA, but can use the ones already placed in the Ukraine. Germany and Ukraine seem to be critical to the US's WW3 strategic scenerio superiority. It could also just be the massive amounts of Oil in the Ukraine, which the US or the EU (which currently means Germany) could tap on. I wish I could know the truth about all this. Yes it's surely just about power and money again, but such an oversimplification removes a lot colors and nuances from the grand picture.
I would really love a Python API on Android. Unfortunately, Python as it exists now is way too inefficient to use on a mobile phone. Have you tried running a Kivy app for more than a few minutes and watched your battery run down?

Don't get me wrong -- that's not Kivy's fault really. It's the Python interpreter that's eating up the battery, not Kivy per se. And I'd like to say that there's hope in Pypy, but for the fact that PyPy uses up to twice the memory of regular Python.

Now, there's no reason why Python couldn't efficiently run on mobile, but it'd have to be with an entirely different interpreter, or at least a significantly modified CPython. One that uses a register-based VM instead of a stack-based one, and makes a number of other bytecode and VM changes toward greater efficiency.

I feel deeply uncomfortable with it as well. Getting paid $5,000 for having a vagina is usually something associated with, err, other industries. I'd feel much better if it were on the basis of financial need rather than which set of genitals you have (and as a non-cis person, makes me wonder what they'd do with a trans person...).

I wouldn't be surprised if Bob has an easier time making the right call without second-guessing himself when things go sideways.

In the case of activities like saturation diving (or in my case, firefighting), experience matters a hell of a lot more than all the PhDs in the world. After hundreds of dives (be it in smoke or water) you've seen just about everything that can go wrong, and you're in a much better position to break the chain of events leading up to a disaster.

Brendan Eich made the statement (speaking of JS as the asm of the web): "Source as 'bytecode' also avoids the big stupid Java bytecode mistake: freezing a poorly designed lowered form of Java, then being unable to evolve the high-form source, i.e., the Java programming language for fear of breaking Java bytecode compatibility. This severely messed up the design of inner classes and then generics in Java -- and then Sun broke bytecode compat anyway!" [Source](http://www.hanselman.com/blog/JavaScriptIsAssemblyLanguageFo...)

We are at a point where JS is following the same path. Ideas like ECMAScript 4 were rejected because they would break compatibility and we are still working around the problems of JS. We need that clean break now rather than later. Such a clean break would be at it's best now rather than later. We could simply continue supporting the current JS compilers 'as is' for old code (or provide a JS to new language compiler) and replace the language with another which is designed correctly (we could perhaps break the DOM too).

While I would like to see a scheme r7rs used (except with support for OOP, built-in actors, and static typing), I suspect that M-expressions (more like dylan) would be necessary (though for the record, I've seen more nested parenthesis/braces in JS code than I've seen in a lot lisp code). Such a language could also be interpreted via JS (or compiled to JS) for old browsers (though I suspect telling people to upgrade or go without would promote suitable updating more akin to telling everyone to change to digital TV or go without).

We need a clean break and lisp is worthy of consideration rather than being cast to the side like last time.

npm, Inc. - Oakland, CA

We run The npm Registry and are the stewards of the open-source npm client and related open-source projects. We want to make Node.js awesome for everybody. You may have heard of us, particularly yesterday, when we broke something important and a lot of people got mad.

We are interested in hiring all sorts of people this year, but our priority right now is a DevOps engineer -- we already have a couple, but we are growing fast and need to improve our reliability, so we need more. (This was already our priority before yesterday, I promise)

We like working on npm because JavaScript is fun, and solving problems that lots of people have -- about how to share code, deploy it, and scale it -- are really rewarding. We are not interested in working long, life-destroying hours. We are interested in working with people who are sane, fun, and friendly. We have a strict no-assholes policy.

We are also accepting applicants for a summer internship. There's more details on both jobs here:

You don't automatically learn to type by learning to code, though. You have to make a conscious effort to learn to type. I was coding for years before I eventually decided to take the plunge and learn to touch type.
I find it embarrassing, but I chalk it up to a lack of experience. I always assumed that "hacker", as a term of regard and a social signal, could only be granted by others -- it was gauche to use it to refer to oneself.

Me, I write programs.
I have a default.env that is activated in my .profile so I can always just do a `pip install <package>` w/o having to touch the system python. The system python is for the system, not me.
The reason deniers exist generally is because there's a problem they don't want to face. Another, equally fatal approach to any problem is to attempt to jump to a solution. The correct approach is to try to understand the problem better which requires thinking -- in societal terms, it means research.

So, by all means, let's tell off the deniers, expand solar and wind, reduce coal, even make lifestyle gestures -- but put the bulk of effort into researching safe nuclear power and researching geo-engineering. (Unless I'm misreading the situation, there seem to be taboos around both at present.)
Honest question: what is it in the photo. Looks like poo to me...

Speaking of finding antibiotic resistance in nature, I just learned that only a few countries and cities are pushing household medication/drugs waste disposal program.

Imagine eating a fish which has been living in a lake contaminated with human drugs!
