Lessons from NYPD Twitter scandal: Careful when asking Internet’s opinion
One thing you can do: talk to people like yourself. It is crazy, but there are people who will believe you when you tell them this stuff is a problem in a way they won't believe others. Ditto for proposing solutions. E.g., next time your company is looking to fill positions, try saying, "Say, our pool of applicants last time wasn't very diverse. I'd like to reach out to groups X, Y, and Z, and also a ask wider variety of people vet our job description just to make sure we aren't giving off the wrong signals." It is much easier for a white dude to say that.

You can also do a lot to signal boost. Passing along stories, links, and books is one thing. (I'll often send people to Everyday Sexism or Project Unbreakable, for example, or to particular things on the geek feminism wiki.) And if you notice non-white-male people getting shortchanged at work, do something about it. For example, I've heard a lot of women in tech tell stories of saying things in meetings and getting totally ignored. So be the person who says, "Hey, Jane's point is really interesting, and we went right by it. Jane, could you say that again, and maybe expand a little?"

And you can do things right here. Among a number of groups, Hacker News is basically seen as a wretched hive of scum and villainy. Call out bullshit. Point out the distorting effects of privilege. When people are derailing, don't let it slide.
Actually, OpenBSD did have things in place that would have caught Heartbleed. OpenSSL went out of their way to create a situation that defeated them.

Look, the whole OpenSSL debacle is the fact that OpenSSL has ONE programmer working on it reliably. LibreSSL now has 5x-10x the manpower that was working on OpenSSL--and that's STILL probably low by an order of magnitude.

Google should pledge 5 people to work on LibreSSL by itself. They clearly have them since one of their internal audits uncovered Heartbleed.

The thing is nobody in the companies actually cared until the NSA started spying on them.

A Message From the CEO

As someone who actually enjoys making offensive comments in the _right context_, I can't disagree more with you.

When somebody says something offensive, context is everything. If you're in a meeting with a group of adult men that are culturally similar to you and there's nothing pressing on the table, sure, a dick joke might be fine.

But in the case of the article, I think the author even let off lightly situations like the "dick in the hand" anecdote. It's one thing to make an off-color joke to ease the mood when the context is appropriate, but if you're sitting in a room with a woman, and you make a comment like that, you know for a fact you're crossing a boundary, no matter how small it may be.

For some reason, it reminds me of a former (male) roommate of mine who would always make comments containing indirect sexual references in the presence of our (only) female roommate. He would never say something sexually related pertaining to her, but things like "I watch too many TV shows? Nonsense. Are you calling me a whore??" Shit that would be subtle enough that he could easily shrug off an accusation that he was being offensive, yet he very much knew he was trying to spin the conversation toward sex as a means of flirting.

I don't think there are many excuses to be made in these contexts. If you've ever known your mother, or had a sister or a girlfriend who was attractive (and the recipient of suggestive comments), you know exactly what's acceptable and what's not. Picture it's your girlfriend getting harassed.

I'm hardly the whiteknight, social-justice type whatsoever, but for fuck sake, keep business as business and play bullshit kiddie flirt games at the bar.

The way you are phrasing this is super offensive and border line disgusting. Do you really think its a privilege that women have this "option"? What if someone offered you a promotion if your wife gave him blowjobs? Would you consider that a sweet opportunity? You want to picture that?

I won't accept "it's harder for women in business" because it is impossible to actually demonstrate and it devolves into a pissing contest about who has a greater frequency of unpleasant experiences with coworkers, partners and clients.

It is also impossible to balance that against reasons it is easier for the genders. How often did Heidi have an easier time being trusted or otherwise "invited in" because of being an attractive woman? No one can really claim to know who has it easier at the end of the day.

What is true is that it is different.
In what way is this true?
I am very interested in F*, I heard about it and I'm waiting eagerly for something polished.

Personally I don't like F#, the result, because on one hand you've got the Hindley-Milner type system and on the other hand you've got OOP with .NET generics. It resembles Ocaml in philosophy (I'm sure this wasn't by accident), in that it feels and smells like 2 type-systems in the same language. It's just an opinion of taste of course - but would have anybody used F# if it didn't integrate well with .NET's standard assemblies? So F#'s integration with .NET's generics is very understandable and one reason Scala.NET died was because it was too hard to keep the semantics of Scala, while also integrating well with .NET, which meant the project was interesting only for people wanting to port their Scala code to .NET - for which approaches like IKVM.NET were far better options. I think somebody wrote an interesting paper on Scala and .NET's reified generics, sadly I can't find it right now.

You may have gotten annoyed about hearing this thing about .NET generics not being expressive enough - I also get annoyed hearing about how Java sucks because it doesn't have reification for generics or other such things, when in truth the compiler can handle specialization just fine and both approaches (runtime versus compile-time) have merit and make different compromises.

BTW, I see that you're working on the Roslyn team - you guys are doing great work lately. Keep it up.

Just throwing my voice into the chorus, I know nothing about category theory either, and I don't think that hinders learning Haskell.

I do think there is a subset of Haskellers who use category theory to prove certain ideas and they are able to easily express that in code. However I haven't found it necessary to understand the theory behind why something is sound in order to practically use their work in my projects. That says more about Haskell's expressiveness than the target audience to me.

Setting aside years of imperative (and also OO) programming and learning a different approach to solving problems has been the biggest challenge for me, by far. That's why I agree wholeheartedly with https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7687200
I just talked with the assistant AG in charge of this case. He seems pretty with it, and they're not trying to do anything crazy here - they see it as a pretty straightforward breach of contract sort of thing. They chose this case because it seemed "very clean" and likely to have a solid outcome that would be a good deterrent for bad actors and encourage backers who get shafted.

> straight white men's privilege

The article didn't actually include the man's race.
Wow, this book seems cool. I plan on checking it out. However, I couldn't help but think that this book presumes a certain amount of knowledge that I think would likely be absent by the time the book is recovered.

I'm probably missing the point and taking this too literally, but I think a few primers should be written for this book: "A self referential guide on learning to read (bootstrap your English!)" and "A contextual dictionary for out of vouge 21st century terminology."

It seems as if you were to do this as an explicit "restart guide" for society (and not an otherwise cool book on human technological development), you would need to account for the fact that a person born a generation or two after the collapse would likely have little access to education, the English language (or at least the ability to read), and context for understanding phrasing, terminology, and grammar like: "Yet beyond drunken party snapshots...", "Photographic emulsions are also sensitive to X-rays... allow you to create medical images...", "We often hear about the Industrial Revolution and ... mechanical contraptions ... transforming eighteenth-century society", [... and other concepts that likely require the context of a basic, first world, 21st century education...].

As a thought exercise, I think it would be really cool to figure out how to create primers that build on top of this book, ones that help bootstrap collective knowledge from all the way down to the core concepts and fundamentals; perhaps starting with the concept of language itself.

That's not a bad compensation package...
I imagine, whatever that number is, that its far less than the number of white, socially-connected men who got their jobs/opportunities because they weren't black/female/gay/poor/ostrich...

Which doesn't justify when a woman gets a job by blowing someone, but as a man i'm not exactly concerned about the relative amounts of privilege I receive relative to the blowjob "opportunities"/discrimination women do...

I am of course doing my small part to fix this by offering to blow every Manager i meet if they'll promote me :( You gotta do what you gotta do for equality...
What sorts of guys do you hang out with?

I'm not sure how you know that the vast majority of men think that women complaining about being solicited for blowjobs are "being bitchy." That seems like a really jaundiced generalization of men.
Sorry, this is a pretty fucking horrible comment.

>You can't lure a client with your looks
>And if instead, you just want to pin all the blame on men for being pigs and expect them to change, well good luck with that.

It's perfectly reasonable to expect men to not commit sexual assault in the workplace. What world are you living in where anything like this is remotely acceptable?

I think on the JVM's escape analysis was originally introduced to get rid of intrinsic locks, a task it does really well - something which I can say after countless of benchmarks I made trying out different synchronization strategies. Currently it's really hard to beat the JVM's intrinsic locks (i.e. the synchronized block), precisely because of this - because if the JVM detects that some piece of code is single-threaded, then it eliminates the lock completely.

I think stack-allocated values by means of escape analysis done at runtime is just an extension of that.

Also, escape analysis, theoretically at least, goes beyond what one can do with value types. For instance functional/persistent data-structures are guilty of generating a lot of short-term junk and because internally these data-structures are represented as trees, you need references for linking the nodes together. On the whole I am pleased with how well the JVM handles short term junk, whether escape analysis plays a part in it I don't know.
You are starting with the assumption Police officer would be interested in the truth. Well, they are not, they are only interested in confessions/convictions.
I don't think it's a privilege, but some people would.

But I have no idea if this actually happens as often as jokes and books/movies claim it does.
> Explaining that the intent and attitude of the potential offender makes a huge difference (ie. Feld vs. hand in pants dude).

_what???_ You think INTENT was the difference between those two situations? You really don't see any inherent difference between using an expression that involves genitals but doesn't have anything to do with them and...sexually assaulting by forcing them to touch your genitals? The difference between those two examples had nothing to do with intent or attitude, but the actual action itself was explicitly malevolent in the latter case while accidentally offensive at worst in the former.

There's a difference between saying something of which you're not aware it can be offensive, and saying something without thinking about whether it can be offensive.

As somebody said elsewhere in the thread, Shanley is polarizing.

You're saying that since you and others regard Shanley's approach as hostile, guys should disregard what she says.

I'm saying that guys who want to help should find away to get past their initial reaction to an approach they see as hostile, look at her concrete suggestions, and act on them.
It's sad that we've looped around to needing to specify this in interactions, when it used to be simply something that decent human beings did. It seems like the need to remind people to do so is only necessary in the (relatively) recent context of "the goodness or badness of your actions should be judged by how other people reacted to them".
You are right that it's a completely horrible comment. But even so, where did he say that we should expect men to "commit sexual assault" in the workplace? Flirting with someone or asking them to coffee is not sexual assault, though it is inappropriate for the workplace.
XORM – Go ORM: basic guide
This criticism only applies when zoomed out. It provides a lot more information than "where the people are" when sufficiently zoomed in on a specific location.
You assume those people have stock. That is very unlikely to be true. Most of those people have stock options. Very different.

An option means that I can buy a share of stock at some guaranteed price (strike price). So, I would actually have to cough up the money to buy the share. Only after that, do I now own a share of stock that I can transact as such.

If the strike price is above what the stock currently sells for, I probably do not want to exercise the option. If the strike price is close to the option price, I probably would rather hang on to the option until the price rises some more. The option doesn't cost anything until I exercise it (or lose it, most options have a time limit) so I mitigate risk by waiting.

So, unless the stock price is above the option strike price+some margin, people won't transact.

My uncharitable speculation was: What better way to keep everybody from flooding the market with Twitter shares than to drive the price down enough to keep people from wanting to cash out their current options.

To be fair, the depression in Twitter is probably just everybody getting a shock that "Gee, Internet companies can actually saturate a market and run out of growth."

Amazon got zapped recently (imagine, adding sales tax to their prices dropped their sales). Google and Apple are showing some signs of deceleration (ad revenue is slipping because smartphones have saturated all markets with real money--so now everybody is actually chasing a competitor's customer rather than bringing in new users).
We won't get non-trivial energy coverage by photovoltaic panels until they're unfortunately as cost effective as coal/oil. Which is predicted that it won't be until 2030. Most likely the coal industry will exploit their power to hold back said competition with as long as possible. So it could even take to 2050 before coal use will even start to dwindle.

Literally the only technology worth our time right now is advanced nuclear fission. Occasionally hydroelectric when they're in the appropriate location.

I wish people would realise that solar will only be amazingly useful when we build dyson spheres. But we need Fusion AND Fission to get there.
I can't quite make up my mind whether its irony, or the other half of the same phenomenon, that humanities are feeling pressure to become more business-like whilst businesses are being drawn towards methods from the humanities.

Thanks. :)

I happen to agree with you -- I think the technical limitations in both languages/VMs are highly overrated. Java, especially, has been a victim mostly of insufficient leadership and resources, not any fundamental technical issue.

C/F# and the CLR, meanwhile, are probably most limited by backward compatibility.
Totally agree. It's always sad to see the response to this type of news on Hacker News. It inevitably immediately becomes something that is no longer about the problems women face, but a defense of the men. Like, how can you read the article and come back and say, "The big takeaway is, don't get mad at me if I'm just being a guy, because I mean well." What weird heuristic did you use to take the article as being primarily about you and the risk that you might be misperceived? That is not what it is about.
The Me Meme
I noticed that, too. Grant's Trail is well represented.

What is the source data? I've ridden through North St. Louis using Everytrail and my rides are public.

Edit: It is from Strava itself. I didn't know they tracked routes. lol
yea, but it did say she was dealing with VCs 10 years ago, so an educated person can make a pretty confident guess.
I mean from every check-in to every release/death, all patient data is collected, tracked. All tests automatically end up in the patient file and every device a patient is hooked up to is part of the same "system". Spend time on an EKG? Every heart beat becomes part of this package. Every shot, every weigh-in, every blood pressure test. This should also tie in to inventory systems etc.

Got the sniffles? The system shows you get them every year at this time, and that it's atypical of any other tracked infectious outbreak, but correlates to three cyclical natural events including a yearly mold growth that it turns out you're allergic to.

End up incapacitates in the ER? System automatically notes your allergies and past medical history, allowing the ER folks to give you one pain medicine instead of the other one that will kill you. While you're there, all the respirators, etc. all get logged. Take 5 units of blood from 3 donors? All their histories are tracked and fed into your treatment in-case some blood-born illness they suffer from but passed screening shows up in your case.

Blood test shows an abnormality? You get automatic trendlines showing either a progression of this abnormal result (blood sugar continues to get lower) or a weird spike, this way your doctor isn't just working off of one data point like usual.

Every x-ray, cat scan etc. all get stored for later reference. The first cat scan your oncologist takes might not be the first cat scan she can refer to if you have one in your file?

Right now, at least in the U.S., and with different insurances every year (meaning my doctor might change every year), I have to really go out of my way just to make sure my shot records follow me. Within one provider they do an okay job of tracking my medical history and getting x-rays from the x-ray machine to the wall mounted display in the evaluation room, but the moment I need to go to a hospital I'm pretty much filling out my history again by hand and from memory.

Vertically integrated means dumping your medical history into Watson to see if some emergent patterns point to some underlying chronic illness you aren't even aware of and don't have notable symptoms yet.
