Not ranting:

I don't want to live in a society where people are told it's okay to have their bodies destroyed to get a living (or a scholarship) or to satisfy the market (for a prestigious football team that sell tickets). We shouldn't strive for that.

Ranting:

> Why can't one sell their the cognitive ability if they choose to? If the player is "smart" enough to cheat the test then ultimately it is their choice.

That's a catch-22. If they were smart, they wouldn't sell their cognitive ability.

> Society has deemed their muscles more valuable then their intelligence and I don't think we would be turning towards them for their thoughts on optimizations for database wrappers.

So when the economy isn't good we should sell our organs because society deemed our body parts more valuable than our well being ?
> The top 2 money recipients are 2 feminists which have never seen a line of code in their lives (one of them doesn't even have a github account!).

That is both irrelevant and entirely incorrect. Both have seen and worked with code and both have GitHub accounts. Their relationship to code has nothing to do with the fact that people feel it's worthwhile to donate money to the work they contribute to their chosen communities.
Bitcoins, WebMoney, WesternUnion, Liberty Reserve, although most of them have been phased out for BTC.
Patents for physical objects behave much more sensibly than software or business model patents, though. You're much less likely to infringe them accidentally. The network effects are not as strong. Although it's ironic that you mention Boeing: the early aircraft industry was held up by patent licensing fights ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wright_brothers_patent_war ) which were only resolved by government action. It's still a very unnaturally structured industry shaped by nationalist interventions in each country.
Why is any of that important when it comes to a parliamentary system where the head of state is not the head of government?

Read article. The smelter they are using is hydroelectric and the 1000 miles air battery range is only used on long journeys as mostly the car runs on lithium.
> Are you accusing me of discrimination? See this is the exact sort of thing I take issue with. I was talking about babies as a substitute for the 'girlfriend' analogy where the characteristics the speaker mentioned could apply in order to illustrate that people wouldn't be that upset about it. But instead of viewing it in this light, you've short circuited the discussion to "Oh man, you're implying women are as immature as babies!".

Perhaps I misunderstand your first post. I interpreted it roughly as saying "Nobody would be offended if you say all these things about babies, so nobody should be offended when you say all these things about women" Based upon your reply, I'm now guessing that's not what you intended. Care to clarify?

>> The slide presents a strong implication that the audience will empathize with a "clingy girlfriend" stereotype

> By virtue of experiencing empathy, are you saying that the audience is in fact sexist?

Sorry, that was a typo, I meant "expectation" rather than "implication." The point is that the presenter is expecting the audience to be those who have been annoyed by and attracted to clingy girlfriends.

In fact, I would guess that the assumption is true for the majority of the audience, but perhaps you can see how it might be exclusionary to the remainder of the audience? Particularly those who are or have been girlfriends of people?
CS prof since 2000 here. We saw similar numbers at my school. I imagine the explanation is something like what you suggest.

Note, by the way, that we might be a bit less pessimistic than your "just stayed to complete their degree". The bubble drove a great deal of publicity concerning computer programming; the result was an increased interest. And that interest remained even after the bubble popped.
It's surprising there aren't at least intrinsics for some of these things in GCC/clang. At least as far as I can tell.

Fair enough. http://techcrunch.com/2014/06/04/sportsquest-wants-to-be-qui...
So, to promote a party, Techweek used images from the same party last year, of actual people who attended the party last year.

That they chose to use attractive, well-dressed women, who looked like they were having fun, is somehow offensive.

I cannot roll my eyes hard enough at this.
Ok, but is the solution for all men to self-flagellate and feel guilty about their sexualities? It seems like his reaction is an extreme non-sequitur that will only lead to unhappiness.
Employed railroad enthusiasts? :D
So this isn't an acquisition of a company correct? It's more of a potential merge (ex: Activision + Blizzard)
Those women weren't invited to the party. They were purchased from an agency and used to market a media event to men.

edit: I'm now getting the impression that these photographs were from a previous event rather than stock. Does anyone know?
HA! I would love if you could find me a tech event that features overtly sexualized men on the advertisement. That's a challenge.
Yeah I have "click to play plugins" enabled on chrome and didn't see it until I saw these comments, and manually enabled plugins.
I agree it's not an easy conversation, but if you think it's important enough to take photographs and call the police about it was important enough to communicate to the person who you have made a potential suspect. In this case it would probably have resulted in a much less traumatic outcome for the author of the story, who at worst might have missed her plane.
It's true many of my startup friends are on Product Hunt. I trust that they will add useful contributions to the site because I know them. But the majority of the people (95%+) aren't my "friends" per se. The community has grown largely by referrals of existing community members and founders who's products have been submitted at some point.

I recognize the frustration some people have in not being able to contribute but the product as it's designed right now, will not scale if it's completely open to the public. We're implementing some changes in the coming weeks to prepare for this.

Again, I don't want anyone to feel "excluded" and are making a concerted effort to grow the community carefully. In the meantime, please add your name here and we'll send you a note once it's opened up: http://bit.ly/ph-contributor :)
I'm an ex referee, used to ref first grade club and schoolboy rugby in SEQ. I've seen first hand why those rules are in place. I will disagree with having the ball being the only collision points however: rucks, mauls and scrums (the latter of which are neutered now) involved any number of players but still don't quite compare to the one on one that NFL involves. Fascinating sports IMO :)
Wait, I'm confused. Company A gave you an offer. You accepted the offer. You applied to Company B. You told Company B that you have already accepted an offer at Company A, and B responds by saying that they don't want to move forward in the application process, and you're worried that they're doing something illegal?

Am I interpreting you correctly?
You do know that most (maybe all) modern smartphones and tablets have accelerometers in them, which are often gyroscope based, right?
There's nothing to stop one from starting with small bets, and then ramping up as one grows more trusting. Since there would be no reason for a wager to move from an entry-specific address before the event finished, one could even verify that one's coins haven't been spent on something else before they should. Actually we can look at all events in history and confirm that payouts balance with bets, if we want.
Deliv (https://deliv.co) | full time | Menlo Park, CA

Software Engineer, Full Stack, H1B welcome

Deliv is a crowdsourced, same day delivery service that extends the reach of national retailers and helps them enhance their customer experience by giving customers the choice to receive their items whenever and wherever they want. Deliv allows retailers to offer their customers a same day delivery option as they shop from their website, mobile app or from their physical brick and mortar store. By simply adding the Deliv same day delivery option into their existing checkout process, the retailer preserves the customer shopping experience, fulfills orders from inventory from their local brick and mortar stores all while maintaining ownership and data from each customer transaction.

Deliv has partnered with many national and regional retailers, as well as the nation's four largest mall operators, who manage nearly 800 malls across the country.

We’re a team of passionate startup veterans, backed by top-tier venture firms, and we’re looking for our next engineer.

Who you should be:

* Ready to shake things up in a stodgy old industry, leveraging some damned cool technology.

* A true full stack engineer. You enjoy working all over the codebase, and while you may not be the best or fastest at "x", you’re never afraid to dig in and try.

* A passion for e-commerce, crowd-sourcing, and/or RESTful APIs.

* A team player. We’ve all got a million things to do, but you’re happy to chip in wherever you can to help your teammates out when they’re underwater.

* Someone that can roll with it. As a fast moving startup, things get shuffled, priorities change. You should be cool with that.

* Someone that recognizes the art of engineering. We like writing tests, CI, and love code quality metrics. Code reviews are awesome, and you’re always looking forward to learning something new.

* Someone who’s comfortable working quickly, with lots of iterations, and shipping often.

Requirements:

* Experience with modern MVC web frameworks. We’re Rails, but if you’ve used Django, Cake or Zend, you’ll be fine.

* Comfortable working in scripting languages (Ruby, Python, PHP).

* Experience with REST APIs.

* Familiar with the git workflow.

* Ability to work independently, set realistic deadlines, and hit those deadlines.

Please email eng@deliv.co for questions, applications, or just say hi.
Were they actual attendees, or is that an assumption?
The Techweek drama aside, what do you think of Sean's post? I admire and applaud his bravery in admitting he hasn't done enough in the past and will do better in the future.
Actually, it's an invitation to a party at a nightclub. And again, these women dressed themselves and went to a similar party in Miami.

To be clear, telling women that they are "not normal" is actually discouraging them from attending, not to mention being really judgemental.
I assure you if they are developers, they would not go to a tech event dressed like that. Unless the tech event had a sexual theme.
I switched from Sprint to T-Mobile a week ago.

Oh well.
Looking at the GCC source [1] starting at line 150 this is almost what GCC actually does - perform the multiplication with twice the operand size and then check by shifting right but GCC compares the result of two shift operations differing by one in the shift amount.

seems like Sprint is acquiring T-Mobile

"Sprint would pay about $40 a share in cash and stock for T-Mobile, about a 17 percent premium to Wednesday’s price, according to the preliminary agreement."

"The deal is sure to face regulatory scrutiny, and the early terms of the deal would include a breakup fee of more than $1 billion that Sprint would pay T-Mobile if the deal is not consummated."
Techweek specifically said they were attendees posing in a photo booth. You might question that, but would it make a difference?
>it's for a tech event. Context is key here.

Black Tie Rave AfterParty at a nightclub - how that can be a tech event? For anybody who may mistakenly think so (or wanting to turn it into), the image does perfect job of clearing that misunderstanding.
It worked gangbusters for T-Mo last time, and let them buy up a whole bunch of spectrum, so fingers crossed it happens again.
A minor complaint: that formula calculates a probability (a number within the range [0,1]), rather than odds (a ratio of expected values).

Not at all. Sexuality is irrelevant in the context of a tech event. It's not about sex, it's about tech. And making everything sexualized to attract attendees is the problem.
Hmm I should have thought my question out more throughly before I wrote. I don't think they're doing anything illegal. This is the first time I'm doing anything like this. I'm wondering how one is supposed to look into other opportunities if everywhere they apply will just withdraw the application. Do they expect people to quit in hopes that they'll get the employment? Or should I not have said anything? Unsure of what to do in this situation. I just don't want to be put into a job that I don't enjoy because money is being thrown at me, so I started to seek other opportunities.

What login did you use for making the comments? It just uses Disqus which is pretty common these days. I was able to successfully make a comment with a Twitter login. Recent posts have had surprisingly few comments but not zero. Strange...

The 2147483648 vs 2147483650 is actually kind of interesting. Visual Studio watch window prints floats with one less digit of precision they they need as it actually displays (from memory) 2.14748365e9 when it should display as 2.147483648e9. Thanks for the catch.

I'll have to check spec docs to if the unsigned to signed overflow is undefined or implementation defined. I think you're correct but I need to verify.
While I'm not saying they were chosen at random, the photos were from the TechWeek Miami event. They've been on TechWeek's Facebook page without any sort of problems since March.
TechWeek claims they were:
http://techweek.com/a-note-to-our-community/

I'm taking them at their word.

"The photo in question was taken from a series of photos of event attendees that were posted on our Facebook page in March. These photos were taken at a photo booth featuring top hats, bow-ties, and other fun black-tie related props. It was used with the intent to promote and encourage attendance at the inaugural event here in Chicago."

Re-reading it, it might not have been this exact party/event, but it's clear that it's not just some stock photography of pretty women.

"Girlfriend" doesn't mean "female friend", so it's not equivalent to "black friend". Rather, it means "person I'm in a relationship with". And people you're in a relationship with can be annoying (Amiright, ladies? fellas? Tip your waitresses!).

> the audience empathizes with having a "clingy girlfriend" which expresses an expectation that the audience is straight men.

Having a clingy SO is not orientation- or gender-specific.
At this rate, one day I'm going to buy a house on Amazon.
The #YesAllWomen campaign opened my eyes, too.

When three men and three women are murdered, we focus completely on the women. When men are overwhelmingly disproportionately the victim of homicides, violent crime (including violent crime from strangers), we instead choose to have a society-wide struggle session[1] on the plight of western women.

Western culture is hypersensitive to women's issues. In particular, hyper-affluent White men seem to derive some carnal pleasure from throwing other men under the bus.

As long as people care far more about the plight of women than the plight of men, and as long as Twitter/HN activists mock anyone who points out the compassion disparity ("WHAT ABOUT TEH MENZ?"), we're never going to achieve anything resembling equality.

Would that be good or bad, though? I'm still not sure what to make of it. There's the "viable third competitor" argument, but four is more than three...

The criminals don't use the Dumps online, they use them instore. They use a PVC printer to print the bank logo and design on the card, they press the details onto the card and then they UV light the card and add silver foil to the raised letters. That means they have a fully working blank card, they then put the track data onto the card and go spend in the shops. If its a high priced card, such as Platinum or business they they will make a fake ID to go with it.
Neither. You can add a leering guy to the picture and it will still be offensive. There are probably pictures with beautiful women that would not be offensive.

Computer Science trains students in thought processes. Since quite a few companies use a limited number of tools and frameworks, most CS graduates can jump in and be productive pretty quickly, given the proper on-site training. Problems arise when employers expect graduates to be immediately productive working with unfamiliar tools in an unfamiliar environment.

Several undergraduate programs offer engineering practicum programs in which students are paired with organizations to work on open source software. These opportunities can help to familiarize students with some of the engineering practices in the industry. Every company is a bit different and development practices change often.
They are the highest power-density battery design available.

There are still renewable / sustainable liquid fuel options, though. Among the most interesting to me in recent months is the US Naval Research Lab's work on seawater-based Fischer-Tropsch fuel synthesis (SFTFS).

It uses electrical energy (from an external source: nuclear or OTEC in the NRL's scheme, solar, wind, geothermal, or other sources could also be substituted). The net efficiency is no better than 60% (the energy cost of electrolysis), my suspicion is that it will be around 50%, for a round-trip return of around 15-20% based on thermal engine applications (higher for electrical generation, lower for internal combustion).

But what this gives you is a sustainable, renewable, carbon-neutral source of energy-dense, highly-versatile liquid fuels.

I seriously doubt metal-air batteries will work for serious air transport.

To get some context for what the new Sprint/T-Mobile might do, it's worth watching this fantastic interview of Masayoshi Son, CEO of Softbank (majority owner of Sprint).

http://www.theverge.com/2014/5/29/5761020/i-love-america-and...

He compares American internet to Chinese air pollution, goes on to lambast Comcast, and admit how bad Sprint's network is and how much work there is ahead.
