This is disappointing.

OK so let's ignore Github's investigation; what other sides to the story are there besides what the accuser told TechCrunch and what she alludes to in tweets? If Github needs further punishment, this has to be instigated by the accuser, just like it would be in a civil/criminal case. Horvath has said that she believes the treatment of her was outright illegal -- and that she has evidence of this. This is not a situation in which an accuser/whistleblower backs down because they don't want to be exposed...Horvath, to her credit, has put her name to these allegations. But alleging is not enough to mandate a punishment. Since Github has also made its defense and is standing by it....are we supposed to side automatically with the accuser?

Github is now in a "have you stopped beating your wife?" predicament. I don't see how the Ada Initiative can pronounce such a judgment unless they are privy to whatever decisive evidence Horvath is currently holding on to.
It only has legal status in government courts. But it can still be good advice in a broader context.
Yeah, I was born in the mid 80s and I have no plans to ever get a TV subscription. It's not the price - I'd be happy to pay for a Sky Sports internet streaming service, if it existed. It's the hassle and the long contracts.
JTBD really helped me understand that customers don't just "buy" a product. They're "hiring" it to do a job (or jobs).

For example, we don't buy a cup of coffee just because we're thirsty. There's a lot of other reasons behind the purchase: "I want to wake myself up", "I want to get out of the office", "I want the social interaction of talking to the barista", etc...

In our software business, as I've started asking customers questions, I've noticed an interesting trend: a lot of software (especially software with reports) is purchased to "impress the boss". For example: I've noticed a trend with folks that print our reports off and bring them to meetings. They're hiring our software to give them a quick talking point to discuss, and to make themselves look good in front of the other people at the meeting.
AMD is not playing in the mobile space with ARM. They realise they are not large enough like Intel to spend their way into the ARM market. ARM is interesting because you have Apple and Qualcomm at the high end, but you also have Mediatek and RockChip at the low end. AMD cant play the "more value for money" in ARM mobile that they do with x86 - because there are already people doing it.

I was actually most impressed by this little rotating robot. I actually had to this by hand some years ago, shoveling the feed so that the cows can get at it, and this rotating solution looks ingenious!
Except that feminists doesn't seem to like BitBucket as well.
Good effort and yea it does look like the work of a beginner.

Papers Please looks like the work of a seasoned artist. If a programmer wants their game to have a polished look like Papers Please, he has to put in the time into becoming a better artist (not just pixel artist, a general one, because asking for pixel art only is asking how to be a good Android programmer only)

That's why hiring an artist is reasonable advice, it will take years to become good yourself.
Seconded! Quite difficult to read...
Who said they were throwing it away? Distancing one's self is not burning a bridge. I thought the press release was very mature and thought out. The Ada Initiative's goal isn't to help github grow up, it is to help women and girls in tech.

And yes, one always has to sacrifice something on principle, otherwise they wouldn't be principles, just more profitable choices.

I would argue the correct path of action would be to work with Github to develop a proper anti-harassment policy, rather than cutting ties. While the harassment incident is certainly bad (if unclear), Github has done other things and shown a willingness to do more to further Ada's goals.

Now, maybe there is more to the story, but the post didn't seem to reveal it.
I just told you: most analysis textbooks treat the topic in a nearly identical manner (maybe not in full generality). Do you want to dispute this? Why are you pretending like we're arguing separate issues?

"Your argument is that Rudin is hard for incidental reasons: he skips steps in his proofs. I personally did not feel this way when I read the book. But I am open to the idea that Rudin is imperfect. I personally admire Rudin's concision, but that may just be my personal aesthetic preference."

Good god.
slantyyz: yes, but you have to download the google apps package separately to get around the legal issues.
I wouldn't say that Rackspace intentionally submits their IP blocks for DNS blacklisting. Consider that on Rackspace's cloud you can build a cloud server and you will get a 'recycled' IP from their block. This IP could had been used by other people for other purposes. You never know who could've used your IP for what purposes. Having those blocks blacklisted makes sense when you think of that.
Yes, but how are new assistant professors selected?

Wasn't their an anonymous posting from within Github that said the Horvath was spreading lies about Theresa sleeping with other men, and that her baby wasn't Tom's?

That seems like at least a motivation for the actions, and at the far end of the spectrum, a reason for it.
Nonsense.

What would you do if you where the NSA and you've now been repeatedly caught lying, bribing (RSA dual ec), and backdooring (dual ec) security software? At this point, you have a problem: working for the nsa probably taints you in the eyes of many, and nobody (rightly) trust you.

But what nation states do have is money and bribery. So you do two things: you attempt to subvert (oh, your brother got busted for dui? We know the judge and can make those charges go away or he can do a dime in state; feeling cooperative now?) developers, and you can do your best to make the code shit and as complex as possible in the hopes that if it's awful enough, somewhere in there is a security issue. Since you can afford to buy as many devs as needed, you can probably find them. I saw the phrase coined on here and unfortunately don't recall the source, but the future of backdoors is probably bugdoors. So Libressl -- rip out shit code, reduce complexity, remove unnecessary algorithms and implementations to further remove complexity -- is the necessary fix. Every option in a program increases net complexity, typically in a factorial manner, and complicates testing. What we need is simple, tested, secure code that handles the minimal use cases for web browsers and web servers. It doesn't need to support dead oses, dead compilers, or the government's wish list of complexity inducing certifications.
@Bug_Labs, how did you create the video in the home page? How much did it cost to you? I'm looking for ways to create videos like this and I'm not sure a professional is involved in this one. So here I'm asking. :-)

To qualify this a little, there is a way the robots can increase antibiotic use, and that would be if the hygiene of the robot is worse than that of other milking systems. But this does not seem to be the case. The robot would probably serve less "customers" with more thorough cleaning in between...
I can't speak for populations elsewhere, but the British public are fucking idiots when it comes to houses. There is no limit, NONE, to what the British public would agree to pay for a house if someone was willing to front them the money, and there is no limit to how bad the housing has to get before they realise how stupid they are.

You could advertise a one room bedsit made of cardboard for a million quid and if some bank was willing to lend the money, some Brit would do it.
I honestly thought that the Power architecture was already open. Guess not.
Maybe these are personal problems? I use Google Maps on the web all the time, and have never seen it hang.

As for finding directions: there's a search box, you type in an address, hit the 'directions' button that pops up, and enter another address. I literally can't think of a way to make this simpler.

That, and his criminal life is a second job. He has no financial need driving this; he's fulfilling different needs like "access to what he wants when he wants it" and "experimenting with strains because it's interesting".
You don't need any of that. Streaming and direct download sites have new TV episodes almost as quickly, with none of that hassle.

> He's either going to end up supporting the above points about sexualized environments by documenting reduced emotional comfort levels, or he's going to demonstrate that he's a paragon of not-giving-a-# -- which while admirable, being one should not be a requirement for working someplace in an office.

No matter what your experiences are, it will prove my point ← seriously?

It is. Do some background research. The Ada Initiative is a radical feminist organization and does more harm than good.
Not sure what makes people think it is illegal. Not supported, sure, but illegal? Is there a source for this statement?
New York Times is getting better about this, I've been surprised to regularly see links to Youtube videos in their articles!
Biotech start-ups are very different to most other technology start-ups. I am not sure the ecosystem that YC has is really adaptable to "wet" biotech. I certainly hope I am wrong as biotech could definitely do with new thinking and approaches to funding.
Sorry, but being looked at or hit on by a man is not, in itself, a traumatic experience.

You are reading something into what I wrote that I am not saying. Being looked at or hit on by people male or female that one isn't interested in isn't necessarily traumatic, but certainly the usual expectation is that it isn't completely devoid of discomfort. If that were true, then there would be no social cost to such activity. This isn't the case for most contexts. (And you know as well as I do that there do exist specific contexts -- certain times and places -- where that's what the expectations are, that one is there to be hit on.)

I used to live right near the Castro and spent lots of time there. I also lived in West Hollywood for years. I always felt completely comfortable in both places, and not because I am a paragon of not giving a shit.

And I will venture to guess that such environments are places you normally went and felt comfortable in -- people respected your boundaries in a way you found satisfactory, because you opted to be in a place where those were to your liking. For many men in North America, the social norms in many places in The Castro in SF or The Monstrose in Houston (where I lived for many years) are not the ones they are normally accustomed to. They will feel some discomfort. If they acknowledge the truth of that, then they will acknowledge the discomfort of some women in the workplace.

EDIT: And it's those individuals in particular who have the most to gain from engaging in this gedankenexperiment. As for you, this would probably be preaching to the choir.
Please define "radical feminism" and how it applies to this situation?
What kind of computer do you use?
The comparison is far from honest. It leaves out iTunes and Airplay, it discusses CPU cores and memory without explaining to the consumer how that will affect their streaming experience, etc.
Not unless RedHat is willing to foot the bill for FIPS certification of a variant, or wait for someone else to do it. The LibreSSL folks have indicated that they won't stand in the way of anyone who wants to do that (in this very note!). It just won't be them.

BTW, even some core OpenSSL developers think that the FIPS validation process is worse than useless. Here's OpenSSL developer Steve Marquess arguing that a FIPS-validated version of something will generally be less secure than the non-validated version (citing, in particular, how delays and cost of recertification can prevent deployment of fixes for known bugs):

http://veridicalsystems.com/blog/secure-or-compliant-pick-on...

But OpenSSL, as an organization, has so far been willing to play along with the process anyway. The difference is that the LibreSSL folks have enough of the courage of their convictions that they are not playing along.

There's obviously some overlap, but they're not equivalent.
> Who said they were throwing it away?

They did. "We will not accept future sponsorships from or partnerships with GitHub unless the situation changes significantly."

> The Ada Initiative's goal isn't to help github grow up, it is to help women and girls in tech.

Free private repositories "to over 500 women learning to write open source software" isn't beneficial to women and girls in tech? Having a well-known, well-funded, and (until recently) well-respected company sponsoring conferences isn't beneficial to women and girls in tech? I wasn't saying that they should care about how this affects Github. I'm saying they should care about how this decision affects them and their ability to carry out their stated mission.

"Confinement at high stocking density is one part of a
systematic effort to produce the highest output at the
lowest cost by relying on economies of scale, modern
machinery, biotechnology, and global trade. Confinement
at high stocking density requires the use of antibiotics

The SPARC ISA is completely unencumbered as far as I know, and there are several copyleft implementations of the architecture that are synthesized into interesting products, often from overseas vendors (for example Navspark: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/navspark-arduino-compatib... )
I've read that the Nexus 6 is coming out around November and will have a 3,200 mAh battery.
This comes up a lot, and there is truth to it. But my flippant response is usually "the ones that aren't that important".
In just the past two months we've seen examples of the system working well for both reproduction (CRISPR) and invalidation (acid bath-induced pluripotency) of spectacular results.
Because that's not really making it private. If you have each word hashed and a rainbow table full of hashes matched to words, it's very easily reversible. It doesn't really introduce any privacy.

Not to mention the computational and storage cost.
There's a whole lot more clarity in the actions of the NSA than there are with this situation. There isn't a single amount of proof that's been given to anyone outside of GitHub of the investigation that can say one way or the other who is in the wrong. It's a bunch of he said, she said.
Most of Digital Ocean droplets have their IP blocked. I spent several hours last week configuring a mail server only to find out my email were being rejected from hotmail and godaddy.
the major power licensees were Freescale and AMCC, the rest is too small to be meaningful, if any.
Both Freescale and AMCC are shifting towards ARM and not in the foundation?

With or without them, it's probably too little too late for this architecture, sigh.

MIPS, UltraSparc, and Power, are sadly fading away.
Yeah. This was striking to me, too. The article delegitimizes burnout as being only the result of dysfunctional coping strategies. There is no exploitation of labor? There are no dysfunctional organizations? Any job is potentially fulfilling?

For better or for worse, capitalism is alienating; It disregards human value and replaces it with the economic value of labor. Pretending that that isn't the case, that labor in service of another for wages is the proper and normal condition of human beings, will help no one either adapt to this unnatural set of conditions or understand how to work at a societal level to ameliorate it.
Are you using the same Google Maps as everyone else? At least for me, the experience has never been better or easier to use. I absolutely love the new desktop maps and the performance has been better in my experience, not worse.
I think the reason why you are getting downvoted is because, especially from the context, its very common to know that 'drugs' means 'drugs taken for fun' (not all of them are illegal either).

See, this is why I'm not sure I like computer people anymore - overly pedantic, not advancing the conversation. I call that 'smart-stupid' -- so smart, yet dumb at the same time.
It doesn't even imply that liquor is a drug specifically, as opposed to containing a drug. And in the context it's perfectly acceptable to use "drugs" to refer to illegal recreational drugs.

My wife and I kid about it, but to me, emotional validation is the same as a lack of confidence. I have some unpopular beliefs, I don't need them to be validated by anyone. If I did, I would be a sheep.
Hashing only helps when the number of possible inputs is very very large. When the number of possible inputs is "the number of words in the dictionary", or "every IPv4 address" or "every phone number" etc, then it would take a modern home computer a few seconds to generate a raintable which would make the hashes instantly reversible.
Your hypothesis is that two "reasonable women" will enter IT as a result of Julie Ann Horvath and another former employee feeling ostracized at GitHub?
The iKeypad
Yeah, they are turning down some free resources, but they are also very politely saying that what happened and how it was handled did not meet expectations.

They aren't nuking peoples repos. People are welcome to have free public repos on github and there is plenty of alternatives. Github != Git.

if github changes through action, not words, I am sure they could work something out. Space and time will heal this.

I happen to agree that the new interface is incredibly difficult to use, UI-wise. In fact, I switched back to old maps for this reason. Unfortunately, I don't recall the specifics which got me frustrated. I do recall that I would very often be wandering with my mouse trying to figure out what to click next.

It can be, but it isn't always. The reason for the presumption of innocence combined with the proof beyond a reasonable doubt standard in criminal trials is a judgement about the desirability of the particular effects that can be expected with and without that principal.

It cannot automatically be assumed that those considerations generalize to other contexts -- they must be considered in each context.
A particularly desperate move from IBM.

This is uncomfortably close to SPARC's story. Sun opened up SPARC designs in 2005. Four years later, the "Rock" project was canceled, marking an end for world-beating SPARC performance.

(Later Sun/Oracle chips have all been based on "Niagara," a low-end chip that didn't even hope to compete on performance. It was intended to be massively multicore and inexpensive, and it was at least one of those things.)
Mr. Biczo Was Right
My business straddles both biotech and software and I find it much easier to evaluate good biotech ideas than software ideas. The problem is the money and time required is so much greater with biotech that almost none of the good idea get invested in.
Exactly. Each time I told myself "I'm going to learn to code!" it was because I had a specific project in mind I wanted to build. But each time I'd end up spending hours going through tutorials and exercises and not feel any closer to completing my project, so I gave up.

The first time I actually completed a project was when I built the website for my small business, cpustorage.com. I built it by starting with a Wordpress theme and continually tinkering with the HTML and CSS until I got the site where I wanted it to be, using Google to solve problems as I ran into them. This process resulted in more learning, it was more fulfilling and fun, and it actually led to the launch of a business.
