So much for minimum wage. Cost of automation was cheaper than hiring two guys to do the same. Ask 'em if they'd have taken a pay cut to not have their jobs cut.
It's something of an efficiency fallacy that keeping all resources (people and/or machines, etc) 100% occupied is the best way to get highest system productivity. Unfortunately, the assumption is baked-in to a lot of our work culture.

Regarding people, good reading in this concept is Goldratt's, "The Goal"[1]. There are more technical approaches of the concept. But, the novel is great in terms of getting a visceral feel of why there are busy resources, but at the same time you need idle resources within the same pipeline for good system performance.

Paul Irish has a list of alternatives at https://plus.google.com/+PaulIrish/posts/12BVL5exFJn, but I really don't think any of them compare to this (TrackJS). So while I think everyone should be doing client-side reporting and evaluating all the options, I suspect TrackJS just brought this to another level (think awstats vs Google Analytics)
This was published by NRK, the Norwegian equivalent of BBC on April 3rd, and the guys in the video seem sincere. I suppose it could convievably be an elaborate April fools prank by the skydivers if they talked to NRK on the 1st, I suppose. But I suppose they would have come clean by now.

Need to look into this more, I did something like this in the past with window.onerror which then set the error to our site so we could monitor javascript errors on client machines. Worked well enough, but yours looks a tad more polished than my attempt!

Good work!
I think this is correct. The WSJ today had a piece offering much the same analysis: that because Facebook's stock is (arguably) overvalued relative to revenue and expected growth, investors are encouraging the company to do these sorts of deals.

It's a perfectly logical outcome if you have high stock valuation and not as much cash on hand.

On the one hand this looks nice, on the other hand it is a shame that something like this is needed at all. Most of the errors I see in the wild are type errors and the industry has just failed to offer a good solution when JavaScript took off. I really hope there will be a lot more adoption of technologies that solve the problem instead of treading the symptoms in the future, for example new ES6+ features, JavaScript supersets like TypeScript or trans-compilation like GWT.

Experian Breach Details
Hah! Fun story: I was rejected from University of Washington CS as well. Since then, here is a list of some projects I've made that are used by tens of thousands of companies/orgs worldwide (including UW ;)): Vagrant, Packer, Serf.

For more backstory: I applied direct to UW CS from high school, rather than waiting a year or two into undergrad to apply. I had a background in programming (not what I'd call "CS"), I had successfully run a software business for 4 years, I had a 4.0 high school GPA, had perfect 5 AP scores across the board in basically every subject imaginable, played varsity sports, was part of extracurriculars, etc etc. I thought it was a safe bet, an easy in. Surprise surprise: I was accepted to UW, but rejected to the CS college. Ego blow.

At the same time, I was directly accepted to the Carnegie Mellon CS program, which is a pretty good school, if you don't know. My ego tempted me to accept this. After all, in much of the CS academic community (and to some regards industry as well), having a CMU degree is regarded VERY highly.

But, I visited Seattle anyways since I had those tickets booked already and I ended up falling in love with the city and atmosphere. So I attended UW anyways. I failed my first quarter of college (whoops, was too cocky, never attended class), got a 4.0 in my 2nd quarter, and re-applied to UW CS. Miraculously, they accepted me. I graduated in 2011, and here I am. I'm a big Husky at heart and the UW CS program is amazing.

I was bitter for a short while, but the things I'm working on today would simply be impossible without a strong academic background, so I'm thankful I pushed through and got my degree in CS rather than sitting on the sidelines.

This has absolutely nothing to do with this post, but figured someone might find this anecdotal story interesting.

Except your original post said:

The gender problem in STEM isn't that women have a hard time finding men as peers and role models, its that women have a hard time finding women as peers and role models. You started out by misidentifying the problem in the first place, this is why your subsequent posts are downvoted because you are creating a straw man out of the OP's request to find a woman in STEM for their daughter to meet.

A few points:

This is not just getting high. The antidepressant effects far outlast the brief trippy effects, which is an important reason why science is interested.

Although this is a small sample, this is not the first study of this antidepressant effect, which had been studied since at least 2000 (citation at end). I'd guess this study is probably getting extra attention from the BBC because of it's from a British group of researchers.

This area of research is important both because it's a new mechanism of antidepressant (opening doors to other drugs and a better understanding of depression) and it is faster acting than other antidepressants, which improve mood slowly over weeks. For the suicidal, this wait can be a lifetime.

There's currently a super interesting (to some of us) question about how important the acute trippy effects are to the sustained antidepressant effects. Is this something where we can engineer out the psychedelic components or are these somehow part of the antidepressant mechanism? See for example this paywalled paper from Zatare's group, which correlates what they call 'dissociative' effects with the antidepressant effect http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0165032714...

(An early paper on the phenomenon is Berman RM, et al. Antidepressant effects of ketamine in depressed patients. Biol Psychiatry. 2000;47(4):351–354. Paywalled http://www.biologicalpsychiatryjournal.com/article/S0006-322... )
Yeah, saw the bundling, nice touch. Though doesn't that mean any compilation problems won't get logged? Do I gain anything if I leave it unbundled but serve it myself (1 less DNS lookup I guess?)?

Also, really nice, simple reset process.

In fact, I'm very impressed with the UI so far, it's a dream to use, excellent get started documentation and it ended up taking me very little time to find the reset.

Authful – An open-source API for Two Factor Authentication
This remembers me of Brazil murder statistics, they released two documents, one with general murders, and one with domestic murder, but that second has only data about women murdered, also some data across the two reports are presented in ways to imply that women are more common victims of domestic murders, and indeed various women rights groups cite that report. But if you take both reports, cross reference the data, and use maths to find hidden data, you find out that men are more murdered at home than women.
Actually, the developer that designed the system was laid off over two years ago, and the database has since been maintained by one of the other managers at the location. Everyone at the company has stated how he was a hard worker, but didn't know the first thing about database design, and while he worked as best as he could with the knowledge he had, he still left them with a rather terrible setup.

I don't really blame him, it's as if I asked a chef to design me a rocket ship, it was simply something he didn't know, and instead relied on information gathered through quick google searches and tinkering.
1) No one would submit any bids until the last possible millisecond before the auction closed so that they could gather as much information as possible to inform their bid.

2) Bid/ask spreads would increase dramatically because market makers would be taking on far more risk of dramatic price changes in between auctions. This would dramatically increase costs to you, the investor.
Those are the classic middle class values. I guess as the west keeps getting richer the middle class will move more into upper class ethics. I m not upper class so I don't know how they occupy their minds, but in the 19th century they used to bother with traveling, archaeology, nature, science, philosophy, writing, and having affairs.
Short names make sense if they are easily understandable locally: This means either something extremely common throughout the codebase (I think the most common example being localisation wrappers for string literals. They should ideally be linked to a more clear explanation easily, e.g. from renaming import statements), or defined (clearly) and used only within a very small area of code. This API is neither of those.
If you really believed this, then you would agree that this is true for women in STEM in that the field is heavily stacked with men. It is totally justified to counteract such an implicit limitation in the field by someone putting in extra effort to meet women in STEM.

I used triple just because it's a low but obvious payoff for 50% equity.

The immediate problem is not lack of money but lack of staff. Taking VC means turning up the heat on the lack of staff problem, and more money does not identify the right technical candidate, and in my mind at least, you really need a technical candidate who is partner grade and partner committed. Someone without the commitment can leave behind perfectly good code in an environment where those who remain were not close enough to its creation to quickly make sound modifications...imagining what a person without technical chops can leave behind in the code base is left as an exercise for the reader.

What does this mean for the Mono project?
http://www.mono-project.com/Main_Page
Nope, I like it as well, though not much coding going on I like the simple easy IDE like Netbeans and mostly done python and C using it.

I think though it may more appeaal to those who grew up with many windows open and using CDE with windows for editing/testing/debug etc style simple approach.

For java it does have motivations to work well and that is apparent, so for java is safe bet.

But like clothes, IDE's really do get down to user preferences and style I believe for many and still oftenhave few shell terminals open approach for me still keeps me happy. But I know vi really well and with that it is the tools we fully understand that allow us to become production and focus upon the code/task at hand. So no single IDE will ever fit everybodies tastes and style of use.

But I like Netbeans and mindful many seem to view it as yesterdays news, for many it just gets the job done.

Though for Golang liteIDE seems to be my option of choice. Also last time I looked into android dev work Eclipse seemed the sain option. So each language has its own bias IDE wise and many IDE's bias towards a language or two. I can undersatnd Eclipse works well for more languages than most, but still nice to have a choice. But using different IDE's for different languages is not ideal, it is a easy sain option for many and with that the right tools for the right job for the right person plays true.
Additionally, when in full possession of the knowledge of how terrible depression is, and knowing that for some people, using ketamine every day or few days is the only thing that works against their treatment-resistant depression, "the only known treatment for a life-endingly debilitating disease" and "functional addiction" are completely indistinguishable.

This happened to the closest person to me in my life, and it destroyed everything we'd worked to build together.

Fuck depression.

There are drugs like GLYX-13 which is somewhat related to ketamine which works very similarly, but without the psychedelic effects (but presumably _with_ the antidepressant effects). I have high hopes that we'll knock out depression within our generation.

It seems you're missing the point that the rock passed him by at a fairly high horizontal speed, while descending past him. That's not consistent with the rock coming out of his canopy.
Even low probability events happen. It just means we can be less certain about when they will/might happen.

Unfortunately, at the time, they had no plans to support source maps. We exclusively use minified JavaScript in production. Seems like not getting a proper line number or filename in a stack trace would be a huge hindrance to debugging.

If the distribution of meteors is perfectly even and all of the planes are parked next to each other in the desert, then the probability should be the same 4% expectation within the next 20 years of one of those parked aircraft being hit.

While staying within corridors would not matter, the distribution by latitude probably does, and my guess is that they align enough to actually increase the odds.

It is more that for "parent looking for role model" in STEM fields they will by default encounter mostly men, so if for one reason or another you'd like to meet a women you'll probably have to specifically look for someone, esp. when you are looking for people in fields that are outside of your own.

This is quite beyond my knowledge, I like the Wittgenstein philosophy, but I would still argue:

You cannot calculate S^(x+1)(0) before the result of S^x(0) is known.

To calculate S^6(0) you start by calculating S(0)
----> It's not possible to "identify S^6(0) with 6" if you haven't calculated S(0) first, because you cannot know S^6(0) at this point.
