This sounds straight out of The Onion. "Controversial figure found to be working for the Chinese, the Russians, Al-Qaeda, the KKK and Nazi Germany at the same time"
Well, I think it makes sense given the history. When seccomp-bpf and the other stuff was introduced, there was already a BPF VM in the kernel designed to efficiently run untrusted code (although seccomp-bpf can't use the JIT today); adding another VM is a maintainability and security hazard, and simplicity is good for security, so why not adapt it?

And now that it exists, it makes sense to evolve the bpf design to be more efficient but keep the result backwards compatible and unified between subsystems.
i tried for ~3 months towards the end of last year then gave up. I did the no shampoo AND no soap. Just showering and this was my experience.

The first week you will smelly a bit iffy (off). It's the transition period. Powered thru and was fine after a couple of weeks and smelled quite okay but my hair suddenly became this mop of oil,gooey gunk on week 4/5 and I couldn't get rid of wash it out. When hair gets that oily, all the dirt, dust and grime sticks to it and it's almost impossible to get rid of it. I tried baking soda, apple cide vinegar and few other things without much success. My hair had never been that oily. Off the NOPOO regiment I'd shampoo once a month and I'd be fine.

Even though my BO was quite good leading up to the sudden oily hair 'syndrome' it became very bad very quickly. It became bad because I couldn't really get clean because the oil from my hair would get onto my body and dirt would gradually layer from wash to wash. Try washing something oily with just water. Now I couldn't get my body clean effectively from the nowash protocol. So I gave up for the sake of my coworkers ( and my dating life).

Sadly the protocol doesn't seem to work for all skin and hair types out there.

It's tough to use Bitcoin seriously on a day to day basis when the value fluctuates so much. Yes, there are security advantages and there's less transactional friction. But that friction has a value, and it's way overshadowed by the volatility of the currency (today).
Well, usually. You can still be subject to HOA restrictions if you agree to them by buying a house in a HOA. You'll also be subject to township/borough restrictions which you can't really opt out of short of excluding entire neighborhoods from your home search (and researching local ordinances beforehand).
> but based on her description she would have had time to properly use a gun in defense

I quote the article: "She pulled the knife out further and pushed it into my blue purse"
Into the purse that would have contained the gun. I think she would have been stabbed before she could have reached inside.

No one intend on robbing you up close and personal is going to pull out his knife from 15 feet away or announce to you from that distance, especially in such a public situation, that he's going to rob you. He wants to threaten you with a knife, not with his voice.

And this is what I mean with "training": the reflexes to pull your gun instinctively when seeing a flash of a weapon in pretty much any situation, in this case: With your headphones on and watching some movement on your phone, as she was doing.

Maybe most gun owners are well trained enough to hit moving people at some distance, but I would argue, that nearly none of them are well trained enough to hit somebody who is moving within arms reach and will try to hit you with a knife/grab your arm/etc.. Most martial arts practitioners will say that they are not well trained enough to evade/fight somebody untrained but handling a knife.

Early twttr sketch from Jack Dorsey in 2006
Don't take a company loan to exercise your shares
That's the most common response I receive but I don't think it holds true in my case. For example my current girlfriend was extremely surprised when I told her I didn't use soap or anything about 6 months into our relationship. Same sort of surprise amongst my housemates since I am pretty hygienic and well-groomed.
"The guy" was a coward. I was raised in the rural south. Most parts of our culture suck: bigoted, violent, small-minded, overly-judgemental, overly-religous, you name it.

But you know what doesn't suck? The honor culture. (to be fair, its the root of a LOT of bad things too) You are taught from birth that if you don't protect those weaker than yourself (provided they aren't gay or non-white, since of course this IS the south.... sigh) you are not a worthy human being.

Not helping a person you know who is in dire need is the lowest of the lowest of the low. You learn this as a kid. If you see my previous comment, I'm not armchair quarterbacking here, I've actually helped people, and had some very bad things and good things happen as a result.

Of course, someone else on here pointed out how much less violent society has become, and how we no longer know how to react to it. I think this is true, which explains my whole theory on southerners, since the southern U.S. has much, much higher rates of violence amongst both blacks and whites than the other parts of the country.
> I don't know the rationale for this, but I feel really happy whenever I see these glory moments that unimportant hobbies, usually videogame or sports, provide for children and teens.

That's because you know that seriously applying the "unimportant" to a hobby is bullshit and feel vindicated whenever someone reasserts the original meaning and motivation behind having a hobby in the first place :)

Or at least that's my reason for feeling the same way you do ;)

FTA:

> The last few weeks have been very difficult for women in tech:

> Gurbaksh Chahal - then-CEO of a startup, was allegedly video taped violently attacking a former partner 117 times in 30 mins (He was finally fired some time after this was made public)

My reaction when I first read this: "wow, the guy beat up his company partner AND a woman, at that. What an asshole." Then I clicked through (note: he's still an asshole).

If you actually click through and read this, it is completely unrelated to tech. The partner that was attacked was a girlfriend. Not a company partner at all.

I'm not condoning the behaviour, obviously, but I feel like this article is setting the stage to create a "men vs women" thing in tech. If we spell it out, a full two out of five points the authors use to make their case can be summarized as:

A guy who has a temper problem and runs a tech company attacked a girlfriend who had nothing to do with the tech company. Everyone wanted to see proof.

Why is this particular instance difficult for women in tech? Why not everywhere? Why is this not used as an example of perhaps the stresses that people are under that cause them to behave this way? Is there a link to aggression and CEOs? This would be a better set of questions to take away from that incident than "if you work in tech and you are a woman, will you get beat up on a daily basis?"

> The last thing we want is for people reading this to be put on the defensive

The last thing I want is for people who want to bend the truth this much to be on the front page of HN.

The other stuff you wrote about? All great stuff. No one wants rapey emails. Even if you are fine as hell, you should be free from getting groped or otherwise harassed.

Don't adopt tangentially related stories to create a narrative that is more dire than real life. It just makes me shut off to anything else you want to say and then I don't want to work with you at all.
I disagree with the article though it does make me wonder about the supply chain part of the process with OEMs. The surface 3 is definitely attractive and powerful and I'd love to get one. If only MS would do one last, monumental change and build the OS on top of BSD. I use Apple for most of my daily work but would love a reason to switch or simply to see some viable competition in the space.
You bring up an interesting point, which is visibility. All of this stuff absolutely happens, but a _lot_ of it goes unreported. This leads to a situation where if you're 'on the inside,' you see and hear about it all the time. If you're not, then you don't.

Generally, when I say "women have informal networks where they share stories of abuse to help other women be cautious around certain actors", there are two reactions: A nodding head, or a 'what the fuck?'

I love my Surface Pro 2, and I'm certainly no Microsoft fanboy---it's the first MS product I've ever purchased, and if you'd told me twenty years ago (or even two years ago) that I'd be purchasing an MS-made computer I wouldn't have believed you.

The reason I love my SP2 is that it is extremely successful at occupying the middle ground that it's trying to occupy. I need something like a laptop, for when I'm travelling and it needs to be a general-purpose computer, (with an actual keyboard, among other things). But, I wanted to have a tablet for light media consumption and taking notes in meetings and switching to an electronic workflow for grading things. I have not seen another device that does all that well.

I'm especially impressed with the way that they've treated the stylus as a first-class input device, rather than as an afterthought add-on for the troglodytes that can't be bothered to learn a new input method (I'm looking at you Apple). The stylus on the SP2 clips to the tablet (at least, when it isn't charging), it incorporates a button for clicking and an "eraser" that is a great UI concept, the software filters out your palm resting on the tablet to have really good registration of what the stylus is doing, and it feels like a pen. Most stylus input I've seen on other devices doesn't have any of that, and I haven't seen anything else that nails all of it. This is the particular thing that sealed the deal for me, and I feel like I can't be the only one.

All of which is to say that I really appreciate the direction they've taken with the Surface Pro, and I appreciate their priorities. I very much hope that they keep at it.

As with HBO, ESPN makes a fortune from the subscription fees paid by cable providers. There are far more people who have cable/satellite than have the ability to stream to their televisions. As such, they get more eyeballs -- allowing them to charge more for advertising. This war chest begets more broadcast rights deals with the major sports league which further cements their market leading position. Their analysis indicates that they would be unable to replace revenue in a purely streaming subscription model so they will be with cable until it can.

Point taken - I may have ADHD or I may not, as I implied I don't really know, and the bad reaction to adderall obviously isn't universal. Though I'll also say the dosage wasn't unknown, and the professionals gave me extensive reasons not to trust them. Drugs don't affect you differently depending on who prescribed them, and the main point of the story was that I didn't trust these people to accurately diagnose or prescribe anything. If they won't even let me question them about their diagnosis, I wouldn't trust them to listen to me about my reactions and side effects either.

This is a controversial subject though, so I'm going to step out now. Just wanted to share the story of my negative experience with it.
System76 resells Sager laptops and the hardware quality and attention to detail is not good. Sager is designed around value-sensitive hardware hungry gamers and the like, often young people. So you get a crappy shell with a nice CPU or GPU in it. Very German.

I would...dearly love a competitor to the Thinkpad for Linux-friendly high quality laptops but it just doesn't exist yet. Lenovo has not been stewarding the traditional Thinkpad fanbase well, there's a market opportunity that people haven't capitalized on.

They haven't capitalized on it because making good hardware is really hard.

(20+ years ago) during summers, while at college, working 12-14h a day on construction projects in Siberia sometimes we wouldn't have access to shower or similar facilities for a couple of weeks... We called it "dry cleaning" - meaning that beyond some threshold the dirt (like for example cement powder) doesn't accumulate on you anymore, it is just supposedly falls out, especially considering that heavy sweating during work washes the old dirt from you... I don't remember any stink from me or the people around me :)

You read the story of a range of women from across the industry, said you haven't had the experience these women have had, and then explicitly asked men for their opinions. See if you can figure out the bug here.

LinkedIn just isn't for Jacques, it's not actually ripe for disruption. People like to condemn LinkedIn's tactics for engagement, and devoted indie + company salarymen like to condemn it for being a useless spammy recruiter hell.

But, end of the day, LinkedIn is still a beast, has a tremendous network effect to defeat, and actually works for its millions of users:

* many developers actually like to get the various recruiter and big co contacts

* for business guys, LinkedIn actually works to make credible cold contacts with people who would be interested in doing business

* the emails that tell you when your friend switches jobs are useful and important in the same way Facebook's birthday reminders are

* LinkedIn is doing a decent job further managing the product - it has gotten more useful over the years

So what if you think endorsements are lame and sometimes LinkedIn accidentally tells you a profile update means a new job, when it doesn't. So what if you are a special snowflake who, with hundreds of thousands of others, doesn't find LinkedIn useful, and too aggressive? It's those very engagement tactics that make sure the network is complete and the metadata is fresh.

That's the EFF's narrative, but I don't think it's very accurate. Here's a more comprehensive article detailing what happened: http://www.politico.com/story/2014/05/patent-reform-senate-1....

It wasn't just trial lawyers leaning on Leahy at the last minute to kill a bill that was going to pass. There were five previous attempts in committee to bring the bill up for a vote. Today would've been the sixth attempt. The tech industry was never on the same page about the specific reforms, which hampered the pro-reform side.

The morning the bill was killed, "several groups opposing the bill denounced those provisions, promising they would be united in their opposition to any bill that included them. 'Many of the provisions would have the effect of treating every patent holder as a patent troll,' read a letter sent out by the Innovation Alliance, which was signed by the American Association of Universities and the biotechnology trade group BIO." http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/05/gridlock-strikes-.... The Innovation Alliance includes, among other members, companies like Qualcomm and Dolby.

> The partner that was attacked was a girlfriend. Not a company partner at all.

Many people have switched to saying 'partner' for all relationships to help demonstrate their support for gay marriage.

> Everyone wanted to see proof.

He already pled guilty.

> Why is this particular instance difficult for women in tech?

Well, it's an example of someone's incredibly personal abuse story possibly being shown to millions of people against their will.

Also, he was the CEO of a tech startup, and the tech startup media did all the reporting on it, and all his investors literally said 'congratulations, I'm glad this is behind you' after he pled guilty.

> Why not everywhere?

Something can be a problem in a certain industry, and also in general. Both statements can be true.

Nokia's Symbian phones always struck me as trying to be "little big computers." The hiptop was different; it wasn't trying to be a stripped-down version of a desktop (or laptop) computer. It really embraced its form factor whole-heartedly.

Rather than aiming to be (something like) a Nokia Symbian clone, the hiptop struck me as coming from the same place the original Palm Pilot did, but with the benefit of several years of industry advancement in terms of its technology base. E.g., beyond what you saw in the Pilot, we managed to get into the base system: real internet networking, true preemptive multitasking (though not address space isolation), and a much "realer" web browser.
Exactly. What's going on is that the feminists of MVC are looking at the extremes: extreme abuse, or extreme success. What they don't care about is that this is an industry where 40 hour work weeks are a luxury, and the average neckbeard sysadmin is despised by HR even as he fixes their boxes for the n'th time.

As a general rule of thumb: if women have it bad, men have it worse. But since the bottom half of men are invisible, everyone focuses on the 'poor' victimized women instead.

Roy Baumeister's "Is There Anything Good About Men?" explains this well, but they'd never read it because it's "MRA".
