You probably want something like "en-US,en;q=0.9,ko;q=0.8". (Note the addition of "en" between "en-US" and "ko".) Some quick testing with Firefox, which lets you directly alter the Accept-Language: header in requests in about:config, shows that fedoraproject.org has "en" versions of resources but not "en-US" versions. Since your Accept-Language: header only lists "en-US", "ko" ends up being selected.

EDIT: I just noticed your guesses at the bottom of the post. Your second guess is correct. See §14.4 of RFC 2616:

As an example, users might assume that on selecting "en-gb", they will be served any kind of English document if British English is not available. A user agent might suggest in such a case to add "en" to get the best matching behavior.
Well it's not really his responsibility. It's the wife's, then HR's, then the police's job.

And in most matters that don't involve anyone actually dying I think 'dropped the ball' is perfectly acceptable.
Pretty sure they meant work/personal balance or boundaries (line).
Exactly on the density. This is why I'm interested in the 39 or even the 50" 4k tvs. The 50" ones are the size of a desk, and with a standing desk I think it'd be pretty great. I'm waiting to get work to buy one for a wallboard first before paying for it myself though. And then there are those 2 U2714's that I have. Man those are gorgeous.
Is there anything to comment on? the allegations should be looked in to, but right now, it is the word of a single disgruntled employee.

You have completely misread it.

The only thing I wanted to convey was: "I didn't have an option". You want to debate why and how I didn't have an option? Well, you are welcome to do it but my answer would be simple and I've typed most in my original comment.

> covering up a lack of ability

I hope you were not simply trying to be mean.

> they try to make it sound acceptable

I am not sure whether I am right replying to your highly judgemental comment but anyway I did. And yes, you are almost entirely off the mark and wrong.
You put those words in my mouth, buddy. To clarify, social ineptitude combined with a degree of self-assured narcissism, resulting in a total disregard for the opinions of other people which don't jive with the most "logical" worldview. It's possible to be socially introverted and still considerate to other people.
If you are one of the people in this thread jumping to defend GitHub in this situation, ask yourself why.

GitHub are perfectly capable of defending themselves. They are the group in power here. Second-guessing the motives and truth of this woman's story does nothing but undermine her, and undermine the confidence of others who may have similar stories (at GitHub or elsewhere).
Don't know if you noticed but the pictures from the articles are for standing desks. You naturally are a bit further back from screens when standing.

It's also worth considering that we have no idea if the founder's wife was also doing this to other male employees. She may have been - and gender perceptions being what they are, we're even less likely to hear about it.

Shouldn't the writing style be a red flag ?
I'm glad that at least some of the commenters try to wait for both sides of the story before grabbing a pitchfork.
it seems the company is run by individuals who never mentally developed out of high school

Github is developed in Ruby. Enough said.
Same. This just makes it look like she's overly sensitive and perceiving things in a very skewed and unfair light.
I don't know what the day-to-day is like at GitHub, but if people were hula-hooping to music at my place of work, I'd probably be pretty interested in watching them too (male or female).
The more philanthropy or private investment we can attract to scientific innovation, the better.

The public gets the benefit of inventions that wouldn't have existed without this investment (assuming they're marketed in the short term, and in the long term the patents eventually fall into the public domain).

Or alternatively, if billionaires start doing more research, this could be offset by cutting, or slowing the growth of, taxpayer-funded research spending. And give the money back to taxpayers in the form of tax cuts, deferred tax hikes, or different services.

Also, there's less of the waste and uncertainty associated with government spending (think about how many articles you see on long-running science experiments disrupted by Washington's latest budget spasm; if Gates has dumped $100 million into AIDS research and needs $100 million more to produce a vaccine, he's probably going to follow through).

And if things go awry the fallout's not as bad (if Solyndra had happened to some billionaire spending his own money, I don't think anyone would have been outraged).
okay so from a quick scan of that article, it appears that

a) she was not made welcome for whatever reasons

b) founder's wife appears to wear the pants in the relationship

c) founder's wife saw her as a potential sexual partner for her husband and wanted to do a preemptive strike.

This incident does damage Github's street cred (if true), it actually sickens me that this engineer was bullied out of her job (if true), and this just is the final cherry on top of Homakov's discoveries of security vulnerabilities in github.
This exposes a big flaw in the entire premise of AirBnB.

AirBnB's core market is people renting out their homes when they aren't there. This problem is inherent to providing unsupervised hospitality. If no one is there to verify customers beyond meaningless internet reputations, no one is there to prevent your possessions from being destroyed. Fixing this problem quickly turns you into a business with employees, running a hotel.

Regulations are about more than just taxes.
I've always been fond of an errant "plebian" myself.
> Be it right or wrong, that is the question that is going to be asked in the board room

I am asking because you have stated this after "..would this cause enough of a legal liability...". So, in the end, does the board room decide what to do with the founder, his wife, and the company, or the court room?
My point was not so much about the veracity of the claims, but rather as a comment on the severity of the issue (true or not).
“I recently got an email from a middle manager that began,
‘So Julie, how are the women at GitHub?’ I said, ‘You
should ask them.’”

What is so wrong with that email? I can see how it could be misconstrued by someone with a chip on their shoulder, but I could also see the original sender thinking that that is a totally innocent constructive question to posit to a woman who has been with the company for a long time. I would expect men to know more about what's going on with the men in a company and for the women to know more about what's going with women in a company. At the end of the day there are conversations at work with are always inappropriate and conversations at work which are inappropriate to have with members of the opposite gender, but are likely not to be considered inappropriate by members of the same sex. Or am I just missing something here.
TVs can cause motion blur when they are doing cross frame interpolation to "smooth" the image which many high refresh rate TVs do now a days.

Without discussion? No, there is no legitimate reason for that.
This thread is about Federal Student Loans.
Probably worth mentioning that the hula hoop dancing happened at a Github party with a lot of people not from Github. It was also super badass hula hooping, not just regular dancing. Everyone was looking, men and women, because it was pretty awesome.
Nor in Australia, is HR your friend. I had a very similar situation to this, as a male, in a software development environment. Even down to the bullying and the silently deleted files and commits. The thing I learnt about HR is they are not professionals. They do not exist to perform the professional duties associated with Human Resources. They may tell you and themselves that, but they are the formalised face (at an arms length so a claim of 'separation' can be made) of the power in upper management and their wish to do away with people they don't like.

In fact a lot of this story rings true with my past experience. It sounds to me like a toxic workplace with a bad management culture. And it is also sexist to add insult to injury. I would like to say that these people will reap what they sow, but I've found organisations like this tend to protect the sociopaths who abuse their power. A culture like this normally extends all the way to the top. So I agree nothing is likely to happen. In fact quite the opposite. Those bullies will be protected and promoted. Any claims of bullying will be dismissed by HR. The messenger will be shot. The truth tellers will not be greeted with laurels.

I would say the only thing to do, if you are in a situation to do it, is legal action. It's the only thing people like that understand. Power and money. So take their money if you can. And find a better place to contribute your skills. There are better places to work out there. They may not be as glamorous, but they will be much more enjoyable places of employment, and much more appreciative of what you have to offer.
Is JSP dead?
I agree with what you say, with a limit.

The problem is what "verified" means.

It seems it only means that AirBnB only checked that the person is who they are and they have some credit card on file.

The problem is the way it appears conveys more trust than it should because verified appears in way that says "secure". I agree it's not what it says, but still, that's how it "appears". It sounds as if there's some sort of insurance.

Speaking of insurance, does AirBnB offer insurance (for a price or not) to its customers? Does the lack of regulations and the gray area prevent this?

Let's not forget in the end the victim is the OP. He's probably been careless, but he remains a victim.
Maybe try again with a more recent version? My initial backup of 450 megabytes took just over 30 minutes, with subsequent additions taking seconds only in most cases. Same story for the second server, both over sftp. I don't know what could have caused such a difference between our experiences.
Not to mention pay it off.
Did you read the whole article? It starts out explaining her struggles as a woman with the company. It also addresses her creepy suitor.
I have an Asus PQ321, and I will agree with you: the LCD panel is a huge step forward. But we shouldn't look at that and say the problem is solved, we need to be developing the next generation.

What I see limiting progress is the link layer between the GPU and the LCD panel. 4K@60Hz requires about 15Gbps of bandwidth. 8K will require 60Gbps. 8K@120, which is what I want, will require 120Gbps. We need a standard for that, so when panels become affordable, you can just buy one and hook it up. In the mean time, you have to suffer with text that's not quite as clear as what you get on your laptop or phone, and with video that "judders".
Who is winning the 'crypto-war'?
I don't think it creates a 'hostile' atmosphere per say. Obviously if both parties are alight with the situation then it's fine for them.

I think it's an inappropriate one for a workplace though. This comes down to company culture. The problem isn't the women hula hooping, a casual environment means such things will happen. People will exercise together, work on hobbies, etc.

The problem is that in a work environment everyone who works there has to be treated with respect, and equally, and that means not cat-calling your co-workers. Even if the women were fine with it (and they probably were since they didn't stop), the large group of men treating them like sexual objects in the workplace is not conducive to an environment where women are respected. If this was a strip club there wouldn't be a problem.

To draw a parallel, if 7 out of 10 people at the office were having nerf gun fights, and it was disrupting other peoples work (because they are reflexively duck, etc) to the point where they can't work when there aren’t big nerf gun fights (but still one or two shots every now and then), then it's a problem, and destructive to a good work environment. This is where management needs to step in and say, "ok guys, I know we are pretty lax around here, but seriously cut this shit out". Obviously it isn't a perfect parallel.

It's also a culture fit thing. This was the thing that broke the camels back. This employee suffered discrimination from executives (and startup founder's significant others are likely going to be part of the executive team one way or another. They certainly have the standing of the executive team in many ways. Legally speaking they are almost the same 'person' in many ways), she suffered discrimination from a single employee, and then she suffered it from a group of employees (a group mentality). And all three of these things feed into each other, and in a work environment (especially a casual one), employees need to be able to move their bodies without worrying about a group of other employees demeaning them.

The problem is not the cigarette itself but the flame used to ignite the cigarette in the first place.
The wife sounds batshit crazy, but this behaviour is unfortunately pretty normal for some people who feel like they're in some kind of position of power.

She asks a reasonably prolific female developer out to drinks and power trips all over her. It's just disgusting bigoted behaviour, and it happens with males just as often.

I hope that whoever's founders' wife gets smacked in to line here to stay out of company affairs. But in the end, when companies are privately owned, the owners have a certain immunity to this kind of bullshit and get away with it.

The probable outcome is that the wife will get a slap on the wrist while receiving crap-tonnes of likely dividends, which I'm sure will make her feel much better and well vindicated.
I run my 4K monitor at 200% scaling, and I can still see font aliasing artifacts. You definitely can't turn antialiasing off yet, even on a "retina" display. We still have a ways to go before computer terminals are as readable as papaer.
any have stats of the left handed population in the world?
Now we can have the worst of both worlds?

One year, ten or a thousand, time in prison doing nothing is unlikely to reform anybody, and keeping a dangerous criminal out of the public for eight hours is not going to protect the public either.

So of the two things prison is supposed to do, this would do neither.
It wasn't just people noticing them from their desks (or joining them, for the sake of well-humoured fun). It was, as she says, "line of men sitting on one bench facing the hoopers and gawking at them".

I would find that a bit odd.
This. A lot of the reason current startups have such fun cultures is because people who saw an opportunity to create a business consciously decided to build the type of company culture they want to manage.

If she wants the world to have more of the type of culture she wants to foster then she should go ahead and start a company and be the leader for once.

I'm certain that being at the top would temper her views of how much of her negative experiences were the result of actual active sexism and how much is inherent result of the manager/subordinate relationship.
Couldn't agree more. 32" is a great monitor size.
Will java allow to use functional interfaces as methods?
Howsoever superman you are, you are powerless in front of your wife.. :)
I would say that these things are unfortunate and can happen to any startup. Being a founder, you need to take action asap before things starts to go beyond control.
Even if some investigation is done into this matter, I don't think anyone will be found guilty as it's a general behavioral/attitude problem and it won't go in matter of days.
Let's stop this discrimination (howsoever minor) against women; we need to stand up and speak openly about this. And it's all the more important when a company is getting formed as culture of the company is defined in that stage.

The meaning of the sentence doesn't change if you say "growing up", "acting like an adult", or "taking responsibility for yourself".

I should also note that I'm not exactly a fan of your willingness to screw someone you don't respect. But your lack of desire for a real relationship isn't my problem.
I'll be more than tempted. To be 100% honest, I have that thought every single time I read any article or blog post about sexism in tech. If programmers with a Y-chromosome are exponentially less likely to either sue us or get us labelled sexist jerks in the press, then that's who we're hiring.
The article quotes JAH's email as saying, "Two women, one of whom I work with and adore, and a friend of hers were hula hooping to some music. I didn’t have a problem with this. What I did have a problem with is the line of men sitting on one bench facing the hoopers and gawking at them. It looked like something out of a strip club. When I brought this up to male coworkers, they didn’t see a problem with it. But for me it felt unsafe and to be honest, really embarrassing. That was the moment I decided to finally leave GitHub."

Certain people are extremely sensitive to what they perceive as improper or demeaning interaction, even when it doesn't directly involve them. JAH wasn't willing to let those women deal with it themselves, and doesn't mention even talking to them about it to see if they felt objectified. Instead, she talked to male coworkers, not specifically HR or a founder, about the wisdom of allowing women to hula hoop in the office? What's that going to accomplish?

I understand her view that sexual undercurrents in an office makes things uncomfortable for some women, and I understand her wanting that toned down. But other women (including some feminists) have no problem with much stronger displays of sexuality, and feel it's an affront to women to suppress that. Both sides can't win.
Yep, honestly I just hope GitHub makes a response sooner rather than later. The longer this festers before we get a counterpoint the worse it will be.

Also hope it doesn't turn into the mud-slinging it seems to be headed towards.
He can still individually address all the pixels, but targets each "pixel" to be 4 physical pixels. If the software can deal with that, like web browsers can, then you get twice as much clarity. (Try turning Chrome up to 200% default zoom. You'll notice that most websites ship assets that individually address every pixel in this new configuration. Things are the same physical size as they would be on a panel with half the resolution, but with twice the clarity. It's quite nice, even for programming.)

Its not sexism. It could be considered sexual harassment, maybe. Plan old harassment is probably more accurate.
This can look like "victim-blaming", but it's really more-than-anything a yearning for people to keep their standards of evidence high

I don't buy it. The "hacker type" despite self-professing as a logical bunch falls prey to all of the logical fallacies and cognitive biases that any other opinionated group does. The evidence is already out there, this is one of many incidents following a trend of sexism in this industry that has been going on for decades.

Github does not exist in a vacuum and real life social interaction doesn't use variables beyond a distant abstract analysis.
On the iPad you don't have to install Silverlight, but you do have to install the proprietary Amazon Instant Video app -- so it's not exactly a better situation. They could replace Silverlight with a Mac app called "Amazon Instant Video" and that wouldn't make the situation any better. In the end, they need a streaming video client that supports DRM that the movie studios approve of.

Additionally, as is mentioned, they also support Flash on desktops, which most people already have installed. However, the Flash streaming is not as great -- it most-likely uses RTSP, an older stateful streaming protocol, versus their Silverlight client likely uses Smoothstreaming (or similar), a HTTP-based adaptive streaming format.
This is incredible! The search function works well, which means they've OCR'd the papers. Is there a way of grabbing this text? I've not seen anything obvious.

Also the "link to this article" doesn't seem to work for me, although the search had taken me to the article just fine.
That's what I'm saying. When you watch a movie, each field (frame) is blurred. When you move your mouse, there is no motion blur on the pointer, so you need more frames per second to convince your brain that you're not looking at a very fast slideshow.
Yes, I've said it before, Google is what you get if you hire essentially at random and then tell all those people that the process that hired them is infallible.
Get the Asus one. The Dell supposedly has many very major problems.
Yeah, I found that to be the oddest part; that after so much bullshit, that was the last straw. It was almost too anti-climatic of an ending to this sexism/crazy-founder/wife tale.

Agreed though, completely 100% justified in getting out of that shit, glad the story got told as well.
The solution is to move the monitor farther away and adjust the scaling accordingly.
Not sure why you're so insistent to mention race...in 2 of your posts you've specified "black man". What does skin colour have to do with it?
What makes it superior to something like bitbucket? I'll answer that for you. Nothing. It's not superior at all. It was just first.
God. What an awful situation. WTF is the founder's wife meddling into the company's business? She is not even an employee. Githud is not a mom-and-pop shop. It's an corporation. This is just toxic.
Unless he rebased!
Totally agreed. It's also a bit odd to want to save 10,000 a month after tax on a normal salary in general. The ratio between living expenses and savings is somewhat off.
I can also come up with wonderful ideas like 'oh I want to be able to earn enough to save 200,000,000 a month and only spend 2000/month - so I need to earn at least 4 Billion Dollars a year. Good'

>In the mean time, you have to suffer with text that's not quite as clear as what you get on your laptop or phone

This is really noticeable when you have been working on your desktop screen for some time, then pick up your phone or tablet to read something. You get this instant: "Wow! This is SO much sharper" feeling. Then after reading on that device for 5 minutes you get used to it and don't explicitly experience it as sharp anymore.

But then you go back to working on your desktop screen and you get the opposite experience: "Wow! This IS fuzzy! WTF!?"
