“How come” is antiquated. I understand what you’re saying and actually agree. I think a better way to do so would be “How is it”, as in “How is it that you think you will be able to ask for $200K as a graduate programmer in a very IT heavy city?"

You are missing a few things in dismissing the above articles.

1. Wikipedia article specifically speaks about the power levels of wifi, which is what I stress also above, saying there's a big difference between the power level in charging a car and catching a wifi signal from an already-charged device. Moreover, here is the full context of your quote:

"In response to public concern, the WHO established the International EMF Project in 1996 to assess the scientific evidence of possible health effects of EMF in the frequency range from 0 to 300 GHz. They have stated that although extensive research has been conducted into possible health effects of exposure to many parts of the frequency spectrum, all reviews conducted so far have indicated that, as long as exposures are below the limits recommended in the ICNIRP (1998) EMF guidelines, which cover the full frequency range from 0–300 GHz, such exposures do not produce any known adverse health effect. [2] Of course, by the very definition of such limits, stronger or more frequent exposures to EMF can be unhealthy, and in fact serve as the basis for electromagnetic weaponry.

International guidelines on exposure levels to microwave frequency EMFs such as ICNIRP limit the power levels of wireless devices and it is uncommon for wireless devices to exceed the guidelines. These guidelines only take into account thermal effects, as nonthermal effects have not been conclusively demonstrated.[3] The official stance of the British Health Protection Agency is that “[T]here is no consistent evidence to date that WiFi and WLANs adversely affect the health of the general population”, but also that “...it is a sensible precautionary approach...to keep the situation under ongoing review...”.[4]"

2. As I said cellphone radiation (particularly near cell towers) is higher than Wifi and has its own studies.

3. Not true, it is known that brain sites near the phone heat up and increase metabolic rate after cellphone use, studies in Scandinavia showed that people had brain tumors more frequently on the side they used the cellhone. Although to be fair, all these studies currently suffer from recall bias. A good overview is found here:

4. The study was done by Volkow at the National Institute of Health and reported in Scientific American, Discover Magazine and other venues. This provides more info and a link to the study:

http://microwavenews.com/Volkow.html

5. These people exist and those are their stories. Their sensitivity to electromagnetic fields is a documented condition called EHS, which admittedly has not yet been recognized in double blind studies. My point is that as the power level grows, MORE people will experience the symptoms as people's sensitivity to electromagnetic fields is a contiuum.

That's not the definition of civil disobedience. Civil disobedience is not, in any way, exclusive to waging disobedience within a regionally localized or symmetric form. By definition, it's only exclusive to disobeying one's government, laws, or other civil institutions.

True enough on that last part. These chilling effects compound rapidly.

I would predict that such particles would be more dense, and sink over time to the bottom.

However, there is the possibility of organisms eating them and then swimming around. Nonetheless, the environmental damage should be greatly reduced.
I should read the OP, for as a quick comment, for me it comes down to cooperation versus competition. And for cooperation to succeed, there needs to be effective communication and a shared understanding (albeit not necessarily or even desirably "perfect" and without diverging opinions).

P.S. I was interrupted by a phone call. The other point I wanted to make, building off of the above, is that humans have created more and more complex results through cooperation than competition alone. I view cooperation as an essential part of modern society and progress.

Grab this PDF [1] scroll to the end and look at the charts comparing three different scenarios simulated in 1972 with the actual development over 30 years.

Indeed, why.

There's a huge difference between sharing opinions and hating. "Another flat theme for bootstrap? How long did that take you?" is hating. "I don't like this, it's not good" or any variation there of is an opinion, ideally containing some reasoning.
If I had told people publicly my workplace was safe for women, and then I found out it wasn't, It would be important to me to let people know that fairly quickly.

If you publicly told people that for two years, and suddenly have a live-streamed blow-out on twitter with Facebook-style innuendo, honestly I would completely discount your claims as an emotional tantrum, and would give it absolutely no stock.

There is absolutely nothing "actionable" being discussed. And this may surprise some people, but women are just as capable as men of grinding an axe or trying to take down someone (or some organization) they feel slighted by.

I'm pretty sure that the article is incorrect and NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center has very little or nothing to do with this study. The apparent paper[1] describes the funding as:

"This work was partially funded through NASA/GSFC grant NNX12AD03A, known as "Collaborative Earth System Science Research Between NASA/GSFC and UMCP""

I believe the Guardian writer is simply using NASA and Goddard as an appeal to authority to increase the credibility of a highly speculative study written by grad students.

That said I hope you can see that ideology is an important driver of both the reporting and the study.

Reason #1 for the harsh tone was the requirement of a social media Like before the download.

Reason #2 was that I was disappointed that a CSS file with a few colors changed passes as an HN article these days.

Humility is a valuable lesson to learn. I see no reason to lie to the person and pretend that they provide any real value to anyone actually using Bootstrap.

The point of trying is not to show off, it should be for self-growth. If the article said, "this is my first project as a web-developer, what do you think", then I would have been much more polite, instead this guy just wants as many Facebook likes as possible so that he can eventually make money off of you.
Oops! I totally underestimated the amount of traffic I might get from HN... should be working now!
I made myself a quick grid builder similar to Bootstrap, Foundation, and YUI Pure: http://thomasjbradley.github.io/gridifier/

My approach is different actually. While I think the criminal justice "beyond a shadow of a doubt" standard is sensible for many criminal trials, because I have no legal power over github, I treat these things more like civil suits. Which means I just look for "the preponderance of the evidence". In this case there are varying amounts of evidence for all three of the following:

1) workplace harassment against women is quite common

2) such harassment is frequently ignored

3) there was some harassment in this case

And there's no evidence that I've seen that suggests there was no harassment or that it was handled properly by management. Therefore for the time being my assumption is that the harassment and mismanagement both happened.

That said, although I have seen mountains of evidence for 1) and 2), because the amount of evidence for the specific situation is small, that means a small amount of counter-evidence about the specific situation could easily shift the balance of probabilities.

That said, I have seen quite a bit of evidence that such accusations are only rarely false, so while I would change my balance of properties readily, I don't expect that to happen.

>Does anyone here have proof of gender discrimination or she was a good engineer?

Her skills and/or experience as a software developer have absolutely nothing to do with this. Someone's performance on a job is completely irrelevant when it comes to harassment or intimidation in the workplace.

You are part of the problem with sexism that exists in software development teams.
I rarely use the search function of Hacker News, but at a quick glance, the new search does look better.

Good:

1. The number of points and age of the stories are highlighted.

2. Thumbnails are a nice addition.

3. It looks less cluttered than the old search.

Bad:

1. Very dull font color for most things except the story title.

2. I had to enable two new domains in NoScript :P
Can someone outline the benefits of the new one over the old one? When I first tried the new one, the UI was severely lacking. I saw the fixed a few things, but I haven't evaluated it again.

I don't always use the HN search engine, but when I do, it's usually very helpful. I'd hate to lose that.
How do you know how sexist a workplace is without working in it?
This "old HN search engine" was in use until relatively recently, right?
There is a lot of sexism in Europe. e.g. the European Union tried to get more women into science with a campaign called "Science: It's a girl thing"[1]. The promotional video[2] is painfully archiac.

Responsive is different than fluidity.

Many designer/integrator seems to forget that there is no need to css3 to give fluidity. But responsivness is not what you think it is.

Your design is in now way responsiv, it merely adapt screen size, but content is became less and less readable as screen size lessen.
That use case would be easily covered by the touchpads and buttons though - your argument for a touchscreen is so the user wouldn't ever have to look at it; so why does it ever need to emit an image?

You didn't have to wait long for the Mars immigrants, did you?

The problem is that accumulating enough energy to leave Earth will be very difficult. Oil still is tightly coupled to wealth. And if we survive long enough to decouple it, and are lucky enough that that is a smooth transition and don't end up way too poor to go to Mars, getting to Mars is still going to be a trip for wealthy masochists with no impact on human survival. (Wait, maybe Elon Musk is playing some Vonnegut-esque Marxist long con on the 1%'ers.)
