Really? One bad breakup between two C-types and "ALL" of the efforts to bring MORE women into tech is trampled?

IMHO...this has nothing to do with Tinder or the parent company. Because, guess what happens when you decide to enter the dating world? You may get burned, called bad names or become generally upset.

So don't shit where you eat and then blame the cafeteria for the bad taste left in your mouth.

> Nothing wrong with that.

AHAHAHA, have a hearty "fuck you with a rusty pipe" from germany.
I am absolutely terrible at noticing when I rationalize things in this way, and I think a big cause of it is that I spend most of my day stuck in a world of ideas and abstractions that keep me from even feeling hunger sometimes.

Working on balancing that out is what I consider one of my primary challenges as I enter my thirties. I hear meditation can help, but does anyone here have any other tips?
I don't know about politicians and religious leaders, but somehow or another law firms, accounting firms, management consultants and medical practices seem to manage without needing rules about having "always 3 or more people in a room together".

Look at the numbers. There are still pay equity issues all over the place, but in terms of participation, every other white collar industry puts technology to shame. 66% of staff attorneys are women. ~40% of biglaw partners are. And in law, 40% is a problem. In technology, it would be a dream.

Call me cynical, but when I read all the comments on sites like this and others about these lawsuits in the tech industry, it leads me to believe that a lot of writers and editors somewhere are not idiots -- they're digging these things up and feeding them to us.

That didn't answer your question, I know. My point is that there are tons of tech companies. It can certainly appear to be a tremendous surge when in fact it's just a small extra effort made in reporting cases. Without a statistical survey we can't be sure.

We can be sure about the economics of creating content, though.

With this kind of visceral reaction, it's a publisher's dream. Not only can you report the allegation, then you can report the reply, then the comments from the community, then the play-by-play action in court, etc. Just gauge how much effort to put into it by how many pageviews you're pulling. Newspaper 101 stuff.
Well we haven't implemented it yet, but we use Gulp. So my plan is to just concat everything together. I've read there's a syntax for defining resources inside html files, which is probably what we're going to do.
> Yeah, no, there's still a need for hot wallets which can be spent automatically by a server and these were basically the only ones stolen.

The point is that you don't need a hot wallet if you support multisig - the coins never go to the service provider, they stay in the users wallet.
The root issue is wanting revenge on someone for breaking up with you.

If the citizenry cared, they can do something about that. (They don't, for a lot of reasons. And they're wrong, but they don't.)
Boston, MA - full time, internship, exploring possible remote

Web Programmer, Developer, Hacker

=================================

Smarterer - http://smarterer.com/

Make a difference. Change the world. Have fun. Do something important.

Smarterer gives people unprecedented understanding of what they know and what their teams and organizations know.

We are looking for creative web programmers, developers and hackers to join our product team. Ideally you are a versatile technologist who loves to build web products, especially (but not exclusively) if you have Python experience. Our stack is primarily Python, SqlAlchemy, Backbone and CoffeeScript.

Smarterer is doing something unique and important. We're approaching a point where traditional university credentialing isn't enough. Skills are changing too quickly and what makes someone effective in a role or job is evolving. New roles appear daily that no (or few) traditional universities have courses for. People are acquiring more and more skills through non-traditional means. Companies are finding it increasingly difficult to close the "skills gap".

How do you show what you know?

Smarterer has created an innovative, machine learning, crowd-sourced testing system that will disrupt how people think about skills. Don’t let our name fool you, while our system is fun, our unique, patent-pending, technology is also deeply rooted in scientific modern testing theory.

Smarterer is enabling a revolution: in how the enterprise manages their teams and talent, in the changing job marketplace, and in the way people measure their own skills and share that knowledge.

We're funded by Google Ventures, True Ventures, Re-think education, Boston Seed as well as some amazing angel investors.

> They want a logical, rigid proof of why it works. They have tons of objections as to why it wouldn't work. They have anecdotes about other people who tried the same thing and it didn't work (Remember, I'm sharing things that mostly work, not Newtonian Laws) Anything at all besides actually trying it out to see for themselves!

The problem with "actually trying it out" is that it's extremely costly. They might be afraid to risk wasting two weeks on something that ultimately didn't bring any benefit. That's understandable. Part of this is also because a lot of "better ways of doing things" probably actually don't work. People think they do, but that's because of a mix of popularity, good marketing, just-so stories and the fact that it's often incredibly hard to measure actual impact of such changes on work performance. Add to the last point that majority of people seem to not understand data, statistics, and that 86% of population believes any number they read on the Internet. So I completely understand that they ask for "logical, rigid proof of why it works" - because most likely it doesn't, otherwise you could provide a reason why it does.

Box<T> is roughly equivalent to unique_ptr, and you're correct, returning by value would be better. Rust idiom is to use stack allocation and borrowing wherever possible.

> I think the only big difference is that some errors in Rust are happening at compile time.

This is true in these examples, except maybe the enforcement of not using a pointer after you've sent it to a task.

That said, there are other examples, like iterator invalidation, where Rust is completely memory safe, unlike C++. Furthermore, Rust has significantly less undefined behavior and odd edge cases. These are in C++ for good reason, but they're still there.

> with some extra static checking and good guidelines can go a long way.

They can go a long way, and that may be enough for you. Big applications continue to have security issues due to problems that Rust would prevent, though: in the last Pwn2Own, all of Firefox's bugs would not have been possible in Rust, for example.

I'm not arguing what is required. I'm simply pointing out the adaptation some actors have used in similar circumstances. I'm also making no comment one way or another about women in tech.
Thank you! Exactly what I'm saying, this kind of thing happens and people are surprised by it?
Design a goal into your system.

I make comics; my current goal is "finish this graphic novel I've been working on for the past three years". It's about a half a year off at current estimates.

The system is basically "work on the GN regularly". A day when I don't get any work done on drawing a page feels like a day when I got nothing done; I've tuned my self-rewards to this project.

When I finish this graphic novel, my reward will be that I get to work on the next one. And the next. And the next, until I say I've said everything I need or want to say in comics and pick up some new passion, or have died.
> Whoa now, dont compare HOAs to something like slavery.

As you well know, I did not.

I was making light of your asserting that you cannot have an opinion on a topic unless you experience it first hand. Slavery, murder, racism, sexism, etc are all areas where this kind of thinking is flawed.

> Living in an HOA is a choice that you or I have to make.

Nonsense. There are cities where HOAs make up almost all of the "nice" areas. Is it a choice when there is no viable alternative? Also HOAs always expand but then never go away, so in the future your choice will naturally shrink more and more.

> Others like these places, if they didnt there wouldnt be HOAs.

Maybe others didn't have a choice either?
Yes, financial institutions do typically have "questions" they need "answered" before making quarter million dollar loans to anonymous e-mail addresses. There's no reason to put those in scare quotes, and it is very much a loan. PayPal is the company making the credit card charges, and if they end up being part of a scam or simply a poorly managed venture, PayPal is on the hook for all the chargebacks -- the account holder could easily disappear or be insolvent months later when they come in.

All the raised funds are at risk, for PayPal, for the 6-12 month period they can be reversed. Even if donors do so without a valid reason, PayPal gets hit with chargeback fees and needs to maintain a <1% reversal rate company-wide just to do business with Visa and MasterCard. They're willing to let their algorithms evaluate small risks (the typical eBay buyer/seller), but a human steps in to do the underwriting for larger volume accounts, just like at every MSP and bank.

The account got flagged for manual review, answered some questions, and was open to accept payments again within the same day. That's better than most banks I know which will take at least a few business days to approve a merchant account. If you're going to be accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars with PayPal, it might be smart to call them in advance instead of waiting for them to call you.
Thank you. I agree. I don't know why I got downvoted so much for my comment.
Cost of transcription is not really the problem. The problem is quality.
I understood your argument, and my response was to put it in perspective. Law didn't fix this problem by coming up with rigid rules about men and women being alone in the same room together.
I would have that happen immediately, then slide open again if called upon rather than automatically from scrolling. While not truly unpleasant this did catch me off guard I was forced to understand what happened and that took me out of reading.
That's pretty much the status quo for employment. When Enron went under, we didn't say "Well, the janitors didn't have anything to do with it, so they keep getting paid." If you work for a company and some at the top does something stupid, you're going to get punished for it, ever though you had nothing to do with it.

Honestly, it almost forms a neat free market solution to corruption. A savy insurance firm should start offering Employer Corruption plans that would pay out if you lost your job due to a conviction of the company. Shadier firms would have higher insurance rates and thus would have a harder time finding employees.

If my house catches fire and I don't have insurance, I don't get a new house, even though if I didn't start the fire. If my company goes under and I don't have insurance, I don't get paid, even if I'm not the person who wrecked the company.
IANAL but AFAIK if I send a mail to you it's not private and can totally be accepted as evidence in a court of law.There is no notion of privacy in sending a mail,a text message,... the only thing that would not be admissible is if I recorded a conversation between us without telling you you are on record.
Can you point out which regulation actually says that, and how it applies to things that are actually comparable to Paypal, such as a credit card merchant account?
Man I would give an arm and a leg to see some jail time in that list. Aren't corporations people supposedly?
Not sure what it used to be, but they've updated how they treat crowdfunding:http://arstechnica.com/business/2014/03/months-after-borking...
I've heard the term before so it stood out. I guess it just means to ask a lot of questions.
Really? How would you clear US dollars in London or Frankfurt?
Unfortunately much of the things which were happening leading up to 2008 were not illegal, which is why there haven't been many prosecutions. Doing shady things and passing the buck, moving risk to other parties? Yes, but unfortunately not against the law.
Does Google Wallet have a checkout service? If so, could be one alternative.

Otherwise, their is Braintree, Stripe, and more similar services.

EDIT: Seems like Braintree is owned by Paypal. So not really an alternative.
Yeah, let's get rid of judges and always apply the maximum sentence if found guilty, regardless of circumstances or what the other party did.
Binary justice sounds like an especially wonderful idea when the matter is human relationships.
Hyped up headline about semantics of timing of goals. Sure your longer term goals are going to be depressing and overwhelming if you don't have smaller achievable chunks that you can do today. But far from getting rid of goals they've just created a lot more little short term goals that they call a system instead. For me to achieve things it has helped to have a longer term vision of where I want to go and a shorter term series of steps about how to get there. Also to be ready for opportunity when it knocks but that is another comment.

Probably best piece of advice in here is that "80% of Happiness is easy, 5 things: eat right, exercise, get enough sleep, daydream an incredible future, flexible schedule...". Having a kid made me realize that most of the time if she's slept enough, eaten enough, has a dry diaper and some hugs she's pretty happy and the same turns out to be true of most people. If you don't take basic care of yourself you're going to have a hard time being happy.
> Key word: Private.

This is a ballpark guess, but probably about 99% of workplace harassment is done privately.

> Where do you draw the line when you work with and are dating the same person? The only fault I see here on IAC is hiring people who are dating.

If a manager has a relationship with a subordinate, the manager should be held accountable for that, not the subordinate.
It seems to you like that because you never hear about the many instances where Paypal freezes accounts for actually fraudulent transactions.
Every 'who's hiring' thread I cmd + f Cleveland, finally a hit (not for me but good luck)!

That's kind of a show-stopper, then. Saying that Bitcoin is an alternative to Paypal for these kind of Kickstarter-like efforts is just disingenuous and exposing your "customers" needlessly.

I am a software engineer interested in the future of computing and the interaction of humans with computer interfaces. I try to make the products I design and build as simple and intuitive to use as possible while still having a unique aesthetic appeal. I love Free and Open Source software.

As CTO, I co-founded, built and scaled up the world's leading fashion designer platform in 2007. In 2013 I felt it was time for something new and joined the world's largest consulting company as an expert and tech lead for open web technologies, HTML5 and Free and Open Source software in their emerging technology team.

I am looking for a position in which I can make a meaningful impact and hopefully move humanity forward by solving a real problem.

Posts like these remind me how many socially maladjusted misogynists exist on this site just waiting for stuff like this so they can throw their 2c in.

It says right there that IAC confirmed he sent the messages. The rest of this honestly does not matter at all, it's just kindling on the fire. Those alone are enough to prove that he sexually harassed her. If you're honestly trying to argue that we 'don't know all that facts' and that 'we shouldn't jump to conclusions' then I feel bad for any women who have to interact with you because you're probably a fucking scumbag too.
