As a man I have been asked whether my performance at work has been affected by raising children.

When I made a mistake I was asked 'Are your children affecting your sleep? Perhaps you should take some time off as you seem to be losing focus.'

Other feedback that came in was 'He seems disinterested in the tasks assigned' with the implication that my children were more interesting than my work ( which of course they are ).

Would you also fire anyone who asked those questions of a man?
Your comment history is full obvious of pro-Apple, anti-Google, and anti-bitcoin trolling.

It is a little difficult to figure out what you are trying to say when the bulk of your comment is "invoke other people's words." Initially it seems that you are a proponent of DNSCurve but you directed my attention to a link that highlights a fault of DNSSEC and DNSCurve. You linked to a page[^1] pointing out that:

> Libya(!) controls .ly. If DANE had been successful a few years
> ago, Ghaddafi's government would have controlled bit.ly's certs.

Yes this is a problem for DNSSEC but it is also a problem for DNSCurve. Let's refer to one of djb's slides[^2] and substitute bit.ly for ubuntu.com:

> How does DNSCurve client retrieve server’s public key?

> DNS architecture: DNS client learns IP address of .bit.ly DNS
> server from .ly DNS server.

> The .ly server says: “The bit.ly DNS server is named petard and
> has IP address 666.1.0.3.”

> The name petard was selected by the bit.ly admin and given to .ly.

> To announce his DNSCurve server’s public key, the bit.ly admin
> changes the name petard to an encoding of the public key.

> The DNSCurve client sees the public key, begins cryptographically
> protecting communication with that server.

It seems that the Gaddafi problem is bad for DNSSEC and DNSCurve. The zone pinning via DLV in dfc's fuster clucked DNS (dfcDNS) neutralizes the Gaddafi problem at the cost of an absolute ops nightmare. It is worth noting that dfcDNS would pick a better name for the nightmare distribution service than itar.iana.org. Why someone thought it was a good idea to remind people of the cryptowars is beyond me. Maybe ITAR was a bad joke by someone at IANA?

I share the concern partially. It's similar to other technologies which have downsides. Nuclear power for example. AI will have the power to help humanity prosper or cause its downfall. The balance will be for us to decide, again just like Nuclear power; for with great power comes great responsibility.
I use Clojure for almost everything now, but I must say Haskell looks interesting. My issue is that Clojure is thriving right now, and Haskell has been around longer than I've been and the world sees it as some arcane science. Is it really worth investing my time to learn it if it's really not being used that much?
Oh, nice. Rust's debuginfo does seem to have a few peculiarities where lines numbers don't quite work out (or something, I haven't really been able to "quantify" it); but there's currently someone working on debuginfo.
Your emotional outburst is not a constructive addition to this discussion.

Despite this tantrum it would seem that more people on HN agree with you than disagree as your comment is still visible. So I am not sure why you are bitching.
I've never learned Lisp, but my motivation for learning Haskell (after briefly toying around with it) was to create a DSL. Specifically, I was designing a DSL with the intention of implementing it in python, when I realized that my DSL seemed a lot like a monad in do notation. Implementing it didn't fail to dissapoint in just how easy it was. Having said that, a DSL implemented as a monad does not behave like any other haskell code, in that it is a monad, and only looks like a DSL when used in do notation.
As I mentioned in the comments on the article, I hate it when startups use trolling or deliberately-shocking PR as a marketing technique. Marketers and growth-hackers justify it with "shock value works, and it's the only way to get attention when there are thousands of startups out there!", but that's not a justification, that's an excuse to compensate for a product that wouldn't otherwise speak for itself.

At the least, it's self-correcting: shock value only gives 15 minutes of fame for a startup, and then it fades away soon after.
Well I should have realised that before putting in my comments. Got massive downvotes, the reason seem obvious now. Maybe I should have atleast have been substantive. Ah well, lessons learned.
I agree, and it does seem like these ideas are catching on. The frameworks you mention, and also a big push by Facebook on iOS in the past year are notable examples. The FB "pop" framework was just made public (I think) this week: https://github.com/facebook/pop

Also their quartz composer prototyping framework: http://facebook.github.io/origami/

Awesome collection at your tumblr!
That isn't really the case at all. Java (the language) is relatively small and simple. Java code can be written quite easily without an IDE. In fact, that's how it was done for many years by most Java developers, before Eclipse, NetBeans and other IDEs became more commonly used.

The unnecessarily complex design of many Java libraries and frameworks is generally what pushed developers toward using an IDE, not the language itself.
It's presumably just as unlawful, and obviously the same kind of bullshit. Yes.

They're consumers, what websites like kickstarter call crowd funding is not very different to good old pre-ordering legally speaking. And if you pre-order a product you have a right to delivery or getting your money back.
The notion of a concurrence of the "mens rea" (the guilty mind) and the "actus rea" (the guilty act) would seem to apply here.

A person who did not mean ill warrants different treatment from one who did; but can we ignore their bad behaviour?
Not really. He's owed stock for what, 30 years? He could've said that starting from January 20xx (2 years after this announcements) I will automatically sell XX Million shares a year for diversification purposes.

But why give the IRS and the state 50% of it via taxes? He gets a nice chunk in dividends at very low taxes. And the mega rich borrow against the stock so when they die that debt is taken out from the estate without paying taxes. (Ellison got an earful from his accountant for doing so, lotsa debt and refusing to sell his shares. If the stock crashes, you're royally f-ed as the bank demands new collateral...death spiral etc etc)

And what is he going to do with all that money?
I had no idea pandoc was written in Haskell. I've found it to be an incredibly useful tool.

She confessed to murdering Karissa—she wanted to save her faltering relationship with her boyfriend, she told the court, and he’d told her that she would have to choose between him and the child—and described in quiet detail her daughter’s final moments.

Is there any good research on the behaviour of women in these situations? Obviously this is the extreme case - murdering your own child to save your relationship with your partner - but I would be interested in broader research in this area on how mothers deal with disinterest or hostility to their offspring by a partner.
How is this an unlawful question? As far as I know, the Pregnancy Discrimination Act only applies to employees and those seeking employment. In the setting of an individual seeking funding for their business, the law doesn't apply.

Furthermore, from an objective point of view how can you argue that pregnancy doesn't affect an individual's expected ability to perform as an entrepreneur after the birth? In my opinion this is a valid question to ask both expecting parents. One of my male coworkers recently had a child and his work performance in the month since then has been noticeably worse than it was prior to the birth. Babies take a lot of work, a lot of time, and a lot of lost sleep no matter help much help you have. We're not talking about hiring someone - we're talking about investing in the business they are running. Any major pending commitments, pregnancy included, seem fair to ask about.

I just skip catcalling, because I don't understand it.
Yes sure; but it is rare to have indirection for every layer of a nested collection (i.e. each collection will essentially be a pointer to some data, with a little bit of metadata (like length & capacity for a Vec), so having Box<Vec<T>> is a pointer to a pointer to the data: essentially pointless!).

In other words, one would write

Vec<Vec<Vec<T>>>

That might be considered ugly, but it's not ugliness caused by the `~` change.
How did you go from "never going to go mainstream" to "not worth learning"?

First of all, you are right. Haskell is never going to become as common as C or Java, and I don't think anybody is claiming that it will. It is a language that is designed around theoretical concerns rather than being pragmatic. But that is exactly what makes it so valuable to learn.
Not to mention the consumer-grade GPU market that preceded GPGPU and a lot of the modern scientific uses for commodity/commodity-like hardware.

Much of that discussion is worth reading. The other submissions don't have much discussion.

I just said: it's unlawful in an employment context.

It's an interesting question as to what, if any, discrimination laws actually apply in practice with investors.
Wait, why should the default public position be “This is unacceptable and unwelcome here.”? As long as (i) this site is accessed in privacy, without bothering other people's sensibilities and (ii) the models are willing and well-paid (which, as the article itself states, seems to be the case), what is the problem? It's clearly one dumb-witted idea, but that doesn't make it automatically unacceptable.

Hawking is just catching up, but that's ok, he's been busy with other stuff, quantum mechanics n shit. So thing is, Mr. H., these things have all been thought out and said in SF for decades.

First author that came to my mind was Ken McLeod. Or going back to the 1950s, Henry Kuttner (as Lewis Padgett), "The Twonky" -- which introduced a notion Hawking hasn't thought of: which if our descendants made that hyper-powerful AI and it, not being content with owning its world, decides to inject itself into the past?

What SF authors can you think of that have anticipated the dangers of AI?
For their innovation they were rewarded for being first to market with a good product and win a very large market share which they profited from for several years and are still profiting handsomely, and managed to build a powerful brand that will help them to continue to help them earn abnormal profits in the short to medium term. You're saying that Apple deserves to make abnormal profits for many more years (15 or so more or however long their patents last).

Profit is a feature that exists not to serve the entity the profit goes to, but to serve society at large, to encourage services to be provided, to encourage innovations. You're saying Apple should be awarded additional abnormal profits above the monopolistic competitive profits they're already generating. Is their current situation not enough to have encouraged Apple of 2006 their innovations? I doubt it. If Steve Jobs was told patents only lasts 5 years, I'm sure he'd have gone on to lead Apple to invent the exact same things. If that's the case, what's the point of giving Apple additional monopoly protections, at the expense of society at large, due to the increased prices they must pay and reduced innovations they will receive in return (since other companies are disincentivized to innovate on top of what Apple has invented)?

Is it because of how Steve Jobs would have felt? He's a great man, but we should not be reduced to living in his shadows forever. We must stand on his shoulders, for that is how humanity have advanced ever since the first hammer was passed down from father to son.

All the component manufacturers that supply Apple are also supplying other contracts.

An example is the high-definition screens; 'Retina' Apple laptops use interchangeable screens from Sharp, LG and Samsung as availability permits. There was a run of returns last year due to some issues with the LG screens.
I think you might be overestimating the actual usage of Clojure. It's still very much a niche language.

Everything I've observed suggests that Scala has a far greater rate of adoption than Clojure, and Scala's usage is still basically irrelevant compared to that of the major entrenched languages. I'd put the adoption of Haskell closer to that of Scala than I would to Clojure.
20% of $400 is still not all that much unless you're in abject poverty. For a minimum-wage worker in the US, it's a little over a day's work, but for anyone else, it's vanishingly smaller. For a person on a median income (around $27.5k in the US), it's only several hours work. For a higher-level professional, it's not even an hour's work. $80 doesn't buy you a lot of professional time.

$400 certainly isn't three months income in the US (~$6900/qtr is the median), as suggested earlier in the paragraph, let alone the 20% split of that.
Now i may be wrong, in which case, do enlighten me. But hasn't Box been playing the corporate game for quite some time? And Dropbox was just beginning to step into that market, no? So wouldn't that make Box the big guy, and Dropbox the much adored underdog? I mean sure Dropbox has a MASSIVE userbase, but an enormous percentage of them are free users. Box on the other hand has a corporate userbase, and corporate pays.
It seems fair to say that Lisp was also considered arcane for a number of years, although it is now (somewhat) thriving in the form of Clojure. It's a tough question to answer, but I think you're really asking whether it's better to take a chance of being any sort of early adopter, or wait until it's generally accepted.

Even though these languages have been around for decades, they are just recently being spliced into the mainstream via lambdas, immutability, etc. So I could easily see Haskell make a comeback.

Interesting. I could also imagine that the inverse of that point is also true: if one of the suppliers is really good and reliably so, if Apple depends on them more than the others, the cash inflow will help that one supplier more than the others, which that company could put back into R&D to widen that quality gap. And if one supplier is far superior to the others, then the comparability == competition between suppliers lessens, and so does Apple's bargaining power.

If current Wikipedia is printed in a book form, it will span about 2000 books, each with 1000 A4 size pages and still not including diagrams, images and equations.

But Wikipedia is extremely shallow.

A PHD typically requires study of 250 to 400 textbooks starting from Kindergarden (these are strictly course requirements). If you assume there are about 10,000 sub-sub fields of expertise for human kind (everything from sub-sub field in genetics to sub-sub field in airplane design) I think there may be about 1 million textbooks currently in print that covers pretty much every core expertise.

But again textbooks are not deep enough either. There are 1.3 million papers/research articles that gets published every year. A conservative estimate of all research articles ever published might be 50 million. That would be about about 250,000 printed books, each about 1000 pages.

I think we can comfortably say that most of the core human knowledge can be fit in to about 1 to 2 million printed books, each about of size 1000 pages.

Earlier discussion, although it only got a few comments: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7681301
The measure of a programming language isn't whether it becomes "mainstream." It's whether it can be used to make useful programs. Others have already provided many examples of useful Haskell programs (none of which are "yet another compiler"), so I'm not sure what else needs to be said.

By the way, I don't know Haskell, but I am writing this comment from XMonad. :)
You might want to take a look at the thoughts in:

It's a shame to see that comment getting modded down. It's absolutely valid and correct. The three examples given in that other comment are pretty much unknown. xmonad might be a slightly better example, but it's still pretty much unknown, too.

While Haskell has seen some usage, of course, we really haven't seen any major and widely-used non-compiler software developed using it. It's perfectly legitimate to point this out, and using very obscure counterexamples doesn't change this reality.

That way instead of this marketing abomination called "Smartphones" (Phone/PC hybrid failure mishmash) to using agnostic modular mobile PCs (not laptops) without the GPS tracker and the cellular chipset (both being optional, the magic of modularity).
