That said, I’m not sure I see the problem with naming those who are responsible.

One of the problems with naming names is that there are two sides to every story, so it tends to lead to "he said, she said" and tends to get very ugly -- the man has reason to defend himself and often feels he didn't do anything wrong and may not have been intentionally bad. Another is that the woman who does so harms her own reputation. Who the hell will want to work with her if they know that should they crack an off color joke or make some other faux pas, she will go all SJW on them and seek to publicly hang them high?

Women are never going to get anywhere if they continue to jump on their high horse every time they have a run in with some guy. It is the men who have power. We (women -- as I am one) have to find a way to work with them if we want to get anywhere. And learning to sidestep trouble and frame things as innocently as they are reasonably able to be framed is a path forward. Jumping to ugly conclusions and starting a shitshow every time something happens is not.

The author was a CEO who apparently did multi-million dollar deals. I suspect she knows whereof she speaks. The shitshows we have seen posted to HN mostly seem to be women who are less successful than that.

I say this as someone who was molested and raped as a kid, who talks openly about that fact and what it did to me yet I have protected the identities of the perpetrators, for quite a lot of reasons. So this is something I have firsthand experience with.

The other problem is that naming names tends to not let it be a growth experience for men who screwed up because they just did not know any better. We all inherit an awful lot of shit culturally (I grew up in the deep south -- here is me talking about stupid racist assumptions I did not know I had and how I became aware of them: http://ask.metafilter.com/261222/How-can-I-practice-gratitud...) You have to start with the assumption that men are just as much a victim of circumstance as women if we are ever going to find a path forward.

Once you out a man, he is publicly branded. Once that is done, he is much more likely to feel compelled to justify his actions to himself. That means he is likely to keep being an asshole and not become more sensitive to the issue. That does not let us, as a culture, move forward. Nailing men to the cross for relatively harmless assholery keeps all of us, as a group, pinned in place. I would like to move forward. The status quo sucks. I do not wish to do anything which prevents progress.

I am not saying that names should never be named. But the kinds of things described in the article, while definitely deal-breakers socially and in terms of business, are relatively harmless. She is not talking about being beaten and raped. She is not talking about the sort of thing that would justify calling the police and having him charged, criminally.
Yes, it's possible.

I feel like the title is overstated. These researchers showed that feedback wasn't important in one small experiment. The title seems to imply something much broader.

For example, when I'm talking about a deeply technical subject I'm well versed in, I use the correct vocal and syntax to express my ideas: I know what I'm saying. When I'm doing a small quick exercise like shown, I might say something inadvertently.
There is some difference in mentality between dads. Especially "work is just work"-father and actually caring about your career. Caring about your career doesn't make you a bad father.

I've always preferred to be with my SO instead of participating in "out of office hours"-time with colleagues. I guess I was a worse fit for a company since I fell in love.

I think the argument is that there are many ways to compliment someone that aren't sexual, and that sexual statements (whether compliments or otherwise) should not be used in work situations: that even in a situation where a sexual statement is taken as a compliment rather than an offense, it is still inappropriate for work.
Not that I'm justifying it, but I wonder if the deal would even have gotten to the closing table if Heidi had been male?

For all the configurable internal guts and how much people have issues with keyboard layout i wish manufacturers had options for the keyboard on their mid-high tier laptops.
Most music isn't recorded live. Most instruments are recorded individually in mono, either because they are mono (e.g., and electric guitar, keyboard) or because they are rigged with a mic (e.g., drums). The stereo effect then gets added in the mix.
Yeah, but HP was the "belle of the ball" at the time.
This doesn't appear in conflict with any of my statements above.
You should look at the case involved before commenting on the legitimacy of the case. From the Kickstarter comments.

> There were tons of backers investigating the life of ~REDACTED~ and his company Altius Management, especially after the artist reached out and told us that he never got a cent, and the US Playing Card Company said that they had never heard of the guy.

This was a case of selling customized playing cards through a well known company, it was a very low risk venture and he failed to make (assuming that quote is accurate) even minimal attempts to create what he started the Kickstarter for.

This wasn't even a "we screwed up and decided to give up early" it was a "lol thanks for the free $25k".
This is mostly true, but I think we do see more dependency related issues than other languages. My working theory is that this is because we wind up building more small, generally useful packages that get used by lots of things and which can therefore be in conflict. I haven't set out to carefully validate this, though.
Lots of typeclasses have associated "laws" that well-behaved instances are expected to abide by.

> shown, I might say something inadvertently.

So that would mean you don't always know what you're saying, just as the title explicitly says. If the title was:

You never know what you're saying.

... then it would be wrong. As it is your comment seems to say that it's right.

What have I missed?

> Ordinarily I'd vote this down for snark not contributing to the conversation [...]

You're right, it doesn't contribute to the conversation.

Unless someone actually takes the "underlying thought" and expresses it as more than 12 words of snark, there's nothing to discuss.
Wozniak was all about bringing computers into wider use. At the time, BASIC was considered the "easy" language to learn. So easy that kids could do it.
Makes you wonder about how many women do accept such offers and get ahead that way. Which is "unfair" in a way to the men who don't have such an option.

I'm really curious about the numbers here - what percent of women have ever agreed to such offers for the purpose of getting ahead (at any point in their lifetime).

I'm hoping the number is in the single digits, because if it's higher this type of harassment will never stop.

Her critique? The way I read it, I interpreted as a joke on her part, which he in turn bounced off of.

What is sexist about "sitting here with our dick in our hands", anyway? Does it say that men are better because they have... dicks to hold on to? That she doesn't have a dick so she can't join in some literal circle jerk later? It's an expression. Sure, it's "othering" in a sense, but all it really is as an expression of a sentiment of passiveness and inactivity. I think most people have felt passive and complacent at some point.

Those do indeed matter. As Louis CK artfully explains, as a white male, you can't even hurt my feelings: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TG4f9zR5yzY

It's almost impossible for me, as person advantaged by society, to fathom the death-by-a-thousand-papercuts feeling that people who are less advantaged experience. I've tried a lot, for years, and I regularly fail. Just today, I read a great piece titled, "Calling the White Man's Police": http://tressiemc.com/2014/05/02/calling-the-white-mans-polic...

And another little bit fell into place for me. Yes, around here, they are effectively they white man's police. There are a number of factors around calling the police that I never thought about because I never had to. Because I'm white and educated and articulate and I've been well off for long enough that I have a lawyer who I can afford to pay.

It would be easy for me to think trolling is an awesome way of bonding with everyone because my life is pretty swell. I can hear offensive things and not sweat it because I'm safe. But for people whose regular experience is a lack of safety, hearing offensive things is entirely different. Then, an offensive comment isn't necessarily an endearing reminder of cameraderie, it's often a glaring reminder of inequality.

That's not to say I won't engage in clever banter. But I am very careful when it crosses lines of privilege or trauma. As John Scalzi says, "The failure mode of clever is asshole." http://whatever.scalzi.com/2010/06/16/the-failure-state-of-c...
Oh, wow, I haven't seen that cover since I was a kid. I'm awash in delightful nostalgia now. I had that book and got it specifically to program games on my Apple IIe, so I guess Woz achieved his goal!
People always underestimate batteries, even though we're in the middle of a battery technology revolution at this very moment.

In 5 years, people will laugh at the idea of using compressed air instead of just storing electrons. I imagine battery energy density will have doubled by then.
> Most religion could be considered psychotic or schizophrenic, yet it serves a very necessary purpose.

Most religion could be explained through a combination of fundamental attribution error, tribalism, and in the cases of prophets, temporal lobe epilepsy of the Geschwind Syndrome variety. It's more realistic to say that religion is a grouping of myths, customs, and superstitions that are approved as 'the correct ones' by the state or governing authority. Or as the old saying goes, "The only difference between a religion and a cult is real estate."
I am so glad articles like these are coming out. It's brave to reveal these intimate and embarrassing situations. I wonder how things would have gone if she or another man in the room had reacted. I think there is a need for women (and men!!) to stand up for women rather than just "walk away." Could you just imagine what that meeting would have been like if a male employee just said, "seriously?" and walked away instead of Heidi walking away?
> The really sad thing about is that the vast majority of guys I talk to about this topic are simply not aware that women, especially attractive women, go through stuff like this all the time. So when they hear women complaining about discrimination, harassment, glass ceilings, and so on, they think those women are simply "being bitchy." Which simply perpetuates and intensifies the status quo.

Assuming not all (attractive) women will publicly or privately complain about such behaviors by men, will the others submit to such behaviors by the men in those positions? Will some women complain (public/privately) and still submit to such behaviors, and what circumstances is that more likely to happen? And is that act submission more socially accepted than say, if the sexes were reversed?

Tangent: I wonder if such things could be analytically studied? Some one could mine sites like HN, twitter, etc for a signal. Check the various states of the author of such. But then it would be hard to match that with the outcomes of submitting to such behavior or not without some kind of surveillance.

Meta: My tangent makes me really wonder what the world could be like where the current information asymmetry when it comes to present and technically possible surveillance systems, did not exist, where nearly everyone could leverage such scale of information in the same way that nearly everyone can leverage the atmosphere to breathe…

Edit: So I'm not sure why I'm being downvoted since I'm not trying to lead any bias towards any group that could be placed on either side of the interactions, It could be Martian's propositioning some being from Alpha Centauri system. Is pondering a way to study such things (and how one could even approach to) so controversial such that no one will respond yet shame at the same time? It's like we're not even allowed to try to explore what is going on. We all must trout out more anecdota, spout out more faux outrage about what has been going on (we're all apart of the status quo, and even with the internet outrage we haven't progressed very far in understanding it seems, who could have guessed…), and damn everything else. Anyone going to propose another reason to refute that's not what's going on here? Maybe someone can point me to a place where I could attempt to frame such ideas/questions/ways to approach studying such things and doesn't cost $xx,000 per year, since apparently, HN isn't for such. Amusing HN…
I think you are missing the point of the statement. If one was designing a language meant to be developed in an IDE, you can hold various assumptions which would influence how syntax shapes up.

A trivial example which is not related to rust but I think serves as a decent example, you can assume the IDE will color/italicize/etc member variables to get rid of _var __var var__ nonsense. You can also use slightly less verbose terms even if they are less informative if you assume a tooltip with a concise and complete explanation pops up.
"Its chief executive, Obama, indulges himself in luxury almost every day, squandering hundred millions of dollars on his foreign trip in disregard of his people's wretched life." really powerful stuff. Made me think about it from their perspective.

All about Dancer – interview of Sawyer X part 2
Kickstarter allows for delays of delivery (possibly even indefinite delays, but that is unclear, so other comment threads), so long as the project continues to communicate to its backers. The problem here is that the project stopped doing that--demonstrating that it was no longer abiding by the terms of the contracts between it and its backers.

Each of the backers only contributed small amounts to the project, so a tort action by each/any of them would have been economically unfeasible. Hence, the consumer protection law kicks in, allowing the state to pursue action in their stead because it is far more cost-effective. (For example, the AG's office personnel are salaried, so legal fees aren't dependent on hours spent, etc.)
You have me at a disadvantage because you probably had more wisdom in the one tooth about these things than I do in total;) I think the reason that cert pinning is "not that big of a deal" is that it only works for a small number of organizations, on a small set of applications, for one of 65,535 ports. The cert pinning system does not work for billybobsblog.com, is not implemented in wget/curl/ruby/python and does not protect my gmail data over 25/143/465/587/993. Yes, "pinning all the things" with DANE+DLV would be a giant clusterfuck but that is simply because it is cert pinning writ large. Fixing the damn is always a clusterfuck compared to sticking a thumb in the most conspicuous leak and calling it a day.

I don't want to drag this on any longer than needed.[^1] I hope that the dental recuperation is uneventful. If it is any consolation I got a chuckle imagining C.J. Craig from the West Wing reading your messages right after her "woot can-owl surge-ah-wee."

[^1]: The next time DNSSEC comes up (and it will) I would like to get your take on how you think the problems with names/certificates compare to those described in "Reflections on Trusting Trust." It seems like trusting everything down to the bare metal is only a tad more Sisyphean.

Oh wait, I am so WHITE i can't control my dick at party.
My family almost got killed once because of a bad judgement based on computer maps.

My wife and I were on a cross-country bike trip, with our dogs in tow. On this particular day, we were shooting for the Chicago area and had a long way to go from Ransom, Illinois where we woke up. There was nothing but corn, windmills, and an Air Force special training center. But we had a friend in Oak Park, and we were determined to get there and take a rest day.

After following a number of scattered trails and highways, we wound up lost in a kind of industrial alcove, trying to cross one of the canals. After a little backtracking (which is the worst), we stopped to ask for help from a bald guy in a pink tee shirt whom I'd noticed cycling earlier. He was a German guy named Rolf and he apparently biked about 60 miles a day just for fun. He told us we still had pretty far to go, and he rode with us about ten miles or so to his car, where he had a map book. He gave us detailed directions saying exactly what would be the best and safest route. We thanked him and went our separate ways.

We followed his directions until after dark (at which point we would normally have stopped). We'd already traveled close to ninety miles that day, and were getting anxious to get off the road. At some point, we called our friend to see if we were close. We told her Rolf's directions and asked if that would get us there. She said she would look online.

She called us back with a different set of directions, and, figuring that she should know her own neighborhood, proceeded to follow them. This took us onto a road that, we later learned, wound through what is essentially a wildlife refuge, and which quickly became extremely dangerous. There were no street lights, and cars were coming around turns at high speed. We decided to stop and barely got off the road in time to avoid being hit. We then had to get our bikes, dogs, and trailer across the street so we could walk the path. It was one of the scariest experiences of my life.

I later found out that our friend had never been on the road she recommended, and was going only by what it "looked like" on Google maps. (This was 2008, by the way.)

So yeah, quality. And there's no substitute for human expertise.

EDIT: and yes, it was our bad judgement as well, for taking bad advice... and maybe for not having our own maps in the first place. Although I've done thousands of miles of cross-country (in the US), and I think you really do have to wing it.
A) Usually, there's a rule like: auto_%.h from %.xml Then you want #include "auto_foo.h" to be found, and cause auto_foo.h to be auto-generated from foo.xml, without explicitly mentioning "foo.xml" anywhere in the build system itself.

B) If you rerun -M every time you try to build, your empty builds are going to be quite expensive. It makes sense to cache that, and only rescan files when they or their #included files changed. But then you need to be able to do the file-inexistence dependency thing or it's wrong.
On this map I took out any point within 1km of the start or end of every ride. This is stronger than what users have set and eliminates 1000s of "hot spot".

I've looked into a couple of these cases and it's friends "coming by for a ride" or them stopping at their house mid ride.

I'm working on further eliminating these points by just not included "stopped" points. I've also tried doing some image processing to remove these hot spots but have had mixed results.
This wouldn't surprise me. Cloudinary has offered a service that does this for a while.

Apple has a lot of money offshore that they can't bring back to the US without substantial taxes being paid.

If they acquire foreign companies, isn't that a great way to launder the money? The companies can continue to reside overseas, pay their overseas employees, but assign their productivity and IP to the US company.
Amazon also has the hard cover book edition - I know because I ordered it a few minutes ago.

In terms of total emissions, no we are doing much worse. Many, many gas wells crack and poisons the land and releases enormous amounts of gases hundreds times worse than CO2.

In terms of total pollution, it removes the vast majority toxic waste produced by coal which kills many people. Not to mention the mercury levels in the ocean it's causing.

WE really needed advanced technologies like Nuclear Energy in the face of virtually a coal/gas apocalypse. We are now in serious jeopardy without it. Why do you think China's making Nuclear energy such a massive initiative? Even India is doing decent research on them because they're sitting on a pile of thorium.

This isn't a problem that we can be gambling with. We only get one good try at this because there will be tens of thousands of years of repercussions. The fact that we're settling with "good enough" on this could mean millions will be displaced & billions of people could starve to death. All because we're being controlled by a greedy gov, greedier lobbyists & a population too stupid to do the right thing.
