Incumbents wont always copy innovations. When you innovate to hit an overshot section of the incumbents market, or non-consumers in the incumbents market, you create asynchronous skills. The incumbent typically will ignore you because you're taking their low end clients, but eventually, the innovations that won the low end clients will improve and you will move up market. That is how disruption works, almost always through innovation.

I think when you say innovation you mean sustaining innovation, which is where you build something that serves the most profitable section of the market, therefore motivating incumbents to copy you. When playing that game it's almost always a lose for the startup, unless you quickly sell out to an incumbent.

There are some situations where incumbents will be motivated to fight startups on low profit clients. Typically this is when you have an incumbent who's profitability comes from having a high volume of low profit customers. In cases like that, it's not likely you will get a foothold unnoticed.
Yeah, I was aiming at high visibility research for Craigslist shoppers. I'm limited by Twitter, but luckily the bikeindex site looks good on mobile too.
Soap and water is very good at removing faecal contamination. In the absence of small children and pets, and the taking of a prophylactic dose of antibiotics daily, my main concern is whether the people I share work and living space with are spreading their own faeces over surfaces I interact with. If their cleansing regime is as effective as soap and hot water, all is well.

Thanks for your honesty. It's hard to be courageous, whether you're the victim or the bystander (since it means you put yourself at risk of being the next victim, yes?). But it's not impossible, so let's all try to remember that.
It's not actually about skepticism, I think. It's more like this: some companies have so few women that there's no visible sexism! The kinds of incidents described in the OP don't happen because there are no women for them to happen to. The GP imagines that, if there were more women in his workplace, everything would continue as it is now except there would be more women. This is not an absurd expectation. But if we take the OP at face value (which I do) then we have to conclude that lots of women are facing harassment or other problems. We need to figure out if we're not seeing it because it's not there, or we're not seeing it because we have a blind spot somewhere.

The GP is asking other men how they feel that their workplaces handle these things - does it happen there, how frequent is it, what do people do about it? If you've never actually dealt with this kind of situation personally, it can be quite hard to imagine it happening - it is the sort of thing that any decent person should find abhorrent, and yet it does happen.

My perspective is kinda similar to the GP's - I've worked in male-dominated environments, I have never seen any harassment (although I have seen some obnoxious men) but this is because there are no women on my team to begin with! I have in the past pushed for specific outreach to female user/developer communities and have been disappointed by the lack of results this has produced.

I definitely have encountered men who hold overtly sexist attitudes - not many, almost certainly a minority of men I've worked with. As my career has progressed and my influence has increased, I've had to use it to counteract those opinions at times. It's just really difficult to work out how much of the problem is something I can directly control, and I think that's why the GP is asking the kinds of questions that he is.
WTF? Gizmoduck! http://darkwingduck.wikia.com/wiki/Gizmoduck
I absolutely agree with you, and I didn't try to start a discussion about which side is good or evil in the Israeli/Palestinian conflict.

It's just the use of language in this article that is insulting to me. Not because I want to judge Danny, but because such wording more generally creates acceptance in the public for assassinations. Just like the TV show 24 that glorified torture.

I don't want that one day our societies accept assassinations, kidnappings and torture as something that is positive or good.
If only there were sites / protocols that everyone wanted, which could only be reachable by IPv6. Maybe a new file sharing protocol, which uses the vast IPv6 address space to hide better, or something like that.

Depends on the RIR that assigned your block. RIPE For example requires you provide a technical reason, AWS gets around this by saying that technically every instance could have an SSL certificate and thus should have it own IP for compatibility reasons. RIPE will and has reclaimed /24's and /16's from LIRs who didn't follow their guidelines (tl;dr of which is "must be a technical limitation of IP sharing")
Indeed. A good post on the shared properties and differences of feminisms: https://culturallyboundgender.wordpress.com/2013/07/24/share...

All women are different, but all women experienced girlhood, and experience male violence. Sadly most in the HN crowd don't have the proper familiarity to understand that kind of nuance.
>I don't think all men are out to get you. I also don't think there's a huge misogyny problem in the industry in comparison to some other industries and cultures I've mixed with. (Perhaps my bad luck.) This is my opinion from listening to the perspectives of the people around me and watching their behaviour around women.
However I do think we have a significant diversity problem and that it's altering the interactions between men and women in the tech industry in a very bad way.

I think this is a fair assessment.

> Finally of course there'll be a large percentage of misogynistic or bitter (MRA) jerks that want to make you feel small so they can feel good - and unfortunately with the current diversity levels they have a voice. I can imagine it's enraging.

This is where the wheels come off, and the bias shows.

There's a large percentage of men who are either misogynistic, and /or MRA jerks? Why aren't feminists characterized as jerks? Why are you painting MRA as jerks, but apologizing to feminists if you've accidentally offended them?

This is where those of us who really hold no bias start getting annoyed about the portrayal of the male gender. Men who care about men's rights are jerks, but women who care about women's rights get apologies if they get offended by reasonable arguments?

And this was done by a male. If the feminists were really honest they'd call this man to task for being biased towards women, and they would tell him they don't want to be held above the other gender either.

The person who posted this goes into depth about the men who have an "ulterior motive" about hiring women. What is this person's ulterior motive for pandering to women in this way?

Why do I have to be ok with being told how terrible my gender is in order to work in this industry anymore?

For the more moderate feminists, consider that. You have a lot of would be allies who get just as tired of being told how terrible they are, and just want you go to away as a result. And folks like the person who posted the above are not helping, they are pandering. A rational person can look at it and think "this isn't right either".
all services that are free, and as such, have risk associated

Pay-for services also have associated risk.
I had never considered that before but I presume you're onto something there. There's likely some commercial interest or government subsidy/tax implications that come into play as to why business and residential pay different rates for the same line.
This uphill battle is becoming easier and easier, as evidenced by how many men are coming forward here to share their experiences and support. If you feel chastised, it's likely because, in the face of an overwhelming amount of data and evidence, your statements read in the vein of incredulity and dismissiveness rather than 'concern' and 'understanding.'
Most women in tech I know have multiple examples of stuff like the authors describe happening to them. Multiple guys in this thread confirm that yes, it happens and is observable.

Remember that the authors weren't only talking about harassment. And of course that doesn't mean it happens in your organization, but you can also see and come into contact with it elsewhere -- conferences, networking events, online discussions, etc.

"If you rent, you can leave whenever the heck you want and then go live wherever the heck you want. "

You can do that when you own as well. You have to sell your house. After all you can't just get out of a lease whenever you want it goes according to a fixed time period. You have constraints as far as lease renewal, term and things like that. If you own you can decide at any point to sell (although certain times of the year are better obviously).

"I value not fundamentally worrying if there were to be an earthquake and this place would be destroyed. I"

Well first that is only a concern seriously in certain areas and second I wouldn't call that exactly something that is a common occurrence either. It's like saying "if I rent (edit fix) I don't have to worry about rebuilding if there is a fire".

"hey, I think I want to go try living in Portland, or just a different neighborhood here."

Ok so I understand your point now (but will leave the above comments for discussion). You actually are looking more to experience different things and not get tied down. Similar to the fact that some people would rather go to a different vacation spot each year rather than own a vacation home in the same place.

In that case an argument can be made that it makes sense to actually pay more to rent than to own because you are deriving some other benefit from not owning that is actually worth more (maybe that is what you are saying..)
MetaFilter's real problem is that on a web that is currently built around sharing, its audience shuns social media. I've never seen a MetaFilter link in any of my feeds. I've never seen a story on one of the major blogs use MetaFilter as a source (expect for this Google story).
Yes but he is claiming the US system works like the British system...when it doesn't.
Because you believe the sex industry itself is bad? Or because specific companies and members of the sex industry are bad, and you are generalizing?
It varies widely based on where you live, too. For example, in NYC state/local taxes are high (these are deductible on your federal return) so anyone with a reasonably high income is already beating the standard deduction, making the interest deduction a very large advantage.
The hard thing is that most successful disruptions come from startups who are ignored by incumbents. In data they're motivated to keep even the lowest profit clients, so startups face their wrath from the beginning. It isn't pretty.

There's no such thing as the "male gender" ('male' refers to sex). You have a bias. For one thing, it's your years of socializaton as a boy and now a (young?) man. Understanding what feminists are trying to say takes work. You haven't done enough work yet. No one in 2014 is saying that it's terrible that you're male.

Most people who feel animosity to feminists are attacking a caricature of them that can't be said to meaningfully exist. It also usually involves a misclassification of anger at a bad situation with 'hate.'

The fact that you can read something like this article and connect it to anything hateful, let alone angry (it's not either) shows why many feminists get frustrated even talking about inequality: people aren't listening to what's being said, their demonstrating faulty thinking and prejudices, often while denying they exist.
Because they've priced their service and agreements at a level that assumes that someone isn't running a business using their super-cheap Google Fiber connection.

It's all about economics, SLAs, etc. and network management.

They've already addressed this directly by mentioning how they plan on launching a business product eventually.

I'm perfectly ok with that.
From what I've seen, you generally need a 12-24 month lease to rent a house. I can sell my house whenever I want (or leave and rent it out to someone else), but if I'm stuck in a 24 month lease I'm stuck for the next 2 years.
I mean randoms on the way to/from/at a bar. Yeah, there are co-workers and other people in the industry around, but we also go drinking with a bunch of teachers too. They're not the problem.

Obviously, what happened to metafilter isn't right.

Why is that obvious?

One aspect of these types of stories that seems to get ignored is the value that these sites provide for searchers: Was Metafilter providing a good experience for users? Is their experience worse with the site ranked lower? Is it, perhaps, better?

That is the question that needs to be answered (e.g. what questions brought someone to metafilter? I can honestly say I've never been directed there), not whether MetaFilter is entitled to some set quantity of search traffic per month.

Food poisoning can be fatal and can have severe consequences.

Some food poisoning is a result of poor hand washing hygiene.

People washing their hands correctly would reduce the amount of problems of food poisoning.

>> I think that it is safe to say that the Surface is a failure. But that doesn't mean it should be killed, just fixed.

As a Surface Pro 1 owner, it looks to me that the Surface Pro 3 has fixed just about all of the things I find lacking in the Surface Pro line. It's still not enough to make me upgrade yet, but that's mainly because my Surface Pro has enough horsepower to last me some time.

>> Apple's iPad is a clear winner in the high end

If you're a heavy tablet user, it is. The thing to note, however, is that tablets are getting pressure on two fronts -- the computer side (things like the Surface and touchscreen laptops) and even more so on the phone side (phablets). I only have a 4.5" screen phone, but that's already caused a sharp decrease in my desire to use a tablet. If I had something along the lines of a Galaxy Note 3, I probably wouldn't even bother with something like an iPad.
Correct. One cannot have GPL + some other stuff because it isn't GPL at that point and becomes a huge mess. Imagine trying to track all of the exceptions!
Yeah I threw in System76 because they're the only name I know selling Linux hardware, but they're not on their game in terms of actually trying to sell anything other than just a standard laptop. Making just a standard laptop is what is killing every other PC vendor.
I knew a feminist in high school who wanted to photocopy my draft papers so she could sign up too. Definitely not legal, but she was absolutely adamant that if men and women were to be equal, women should have to defend the country too.

Feminism is about equality, when it's done right. Unfortunately, it's been perverted into "down with the patriarchy". We call those people "Feminazis".
Man, the use of Vine in this article is awful. It made the point he was trying to make so much more confusing vs. just posting the diagrams.
That's an interesting question:

http://www.radiolab.org/story/104009-i-need-a-hero/

http://www.npr.org/2011/03/10/134387637/heroic-acts-to-prote...

I think to be truly heroic, an action has to involve putting yourself in harm's way selflessly, to save somebody else.

By that standard, killing your enemy--who's already got it in for you--isn't heroic, it's just strongly motivated self-interest. Even moreso if it's literally your job and you're being paid to do it.

I would say the members of Seal Team Six are brave, courageous warriors, but they aren't necessarily heroes.

As someone unfamiliar with the differences between those OSes, could you elaborate on why you would expect them to compare CoreOS in particular and why I or someone else might also want to consider it for similar purposes?
Depending on the installation, yes. You haven't explained what the notepad will be editing.
Why don't Balanced and Stripe work together on these features? I understand that they're competitors, but it seems as though we've got good engineers in both companies needlessly duplicating effort. Why not work together to provide this feature and spend that limited engineering time, expertise, and innovation on the things which differentiate the service? Stripe and Balanced aren't direct competitors, I think - why not work together on the common ground and use the time saved to make the differences really shine?

[I think I'm being overly utopian, but I don't understand why. Can someone explain it to me?]
Not even post-9/11; Post-Snowden. Post-9/11 post Snowden, you could still make a solid argument for "these tools are to keep you safe from Evil Chinese Hackers, criminals, etc." It's patriotic to defend US "critical infrastructure" from these threats!

(and, ultimately, those are still the big threats today; NSA is a more interesting threat, and one where policy has some chance of working, but the ambient criminal threat is more commonly encountered.)

I think NSA probably doesn't want their people giving even pro-NSA talks in public without a lot of screening and approval, though. At most they'd have reviewed/pulled his clearance and fired him, not Gitmo'd.
Perhaps you all just mistimed the market. With smart phone penetration and 3G coverage steadily increasing, maybe two years ago there just wasn't the existing user base to make it feasible. If that were the case you'd also have to incentivize the purchase of smart phones and data plans (which is always a difficult sell).

However, the need is glaring and I refuse to believe there is no incentive for people to find a better solution. Happy to listen to a counter argument though.
CDC say soap and not hot water is fine too. They prefer running water.
The cloud provider problem is definitely real. I have an idea for a service that requires both IPv4 and IPv6, but Linode and Rackspace were the two I found that both support native IPv6. Otherwise, it's something involving a HE.net tunnel, which I'm not comfortable with for more than experimental use.
> In the Italian city of Milan, taxis have been sitting idle for the past five days in protest at what they say is "unfair competition" from Uber.

They just make the Italian jokes too easy...

Anyway, nobody actually likes taking cabs, so perhaps rather than trying to reinforce their previous monopoly the cabbies should try to improve their own services, maybe with a cab-summoning app similar to Uber.

The ultra-health obsessed min-maxers I have met have been socially awkward to say the least. People who are fanatical about anything to the point it causes social conflicts strike me as compulsive. Some people just seem so obsessed about a single issue that they are burden to interact with, regardless of what the issue is.

There's nothing wrong with using soap every day, my grandparents have been doing it all their lives and they're healthy at their old age (90's). Plus you don't end up bothering others with your smell.

All soldiers go into "hostile territory -- often at night. Not all are heroes, unless we stretch the definition much.

And I seriously doubt the "unproven equipment" (or the "little fuel reserves"). It was a mission with a bunch of (armed, I give you that) guys in a hideaway against an elite team from a superpower.

>I'd like to see your definition of A-level hero.

Well, the people who got off the boats in Normandy are A-level heroes.

Or people like the Red Baron.

Or those that went on their own volition to fight for the liberty of another people in a foreign country, like 1936 Spain, with sparse guns and makeshift camps against a properly armed fascist regime with foreign state support.

If I'm allowed a movie metaphor, a hero is more "Wild Bunch" or "The Magnificent Seven" than some kind of elite calvary, charging in armed to the teath and killing everything in sight.
I had the same problem. one day I realized the oil in my hair depends on my food intake.

In particular, for me it has a huge correlation with the "glycemic index":
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycemic_index

Chocolate is the biggest scalp hair oil producer of all. For me it is incredible how fast it goes from my stomach to my hair, I feel my hair grease within hours!! of eating it. The same could be said about acme and skin pimples.

If instead of Chocolate I eat Apples or even sugar fruits like plums, I have no such a problem. It has to be something like the fiber controlling the sugar released on blood per second or something.

Also, the natural tenancy for those with an engineering mindset to subject all things to skepticism, is a problem for minorities, and partly due to the visibility problem you mentioned.
