It's about combating injustice and miscreant behavior where we find it. You don't act that way. Super. Neither do I. Criticizing the behavior in others (which, make no mistake, is all motivated by gender) doesn't push you into some sort of solidarity of villainy. The instant recourse to "not all men" and "not my friends" is a kind of solipsism that's not helpful. Yes, a two-year-old can tell you "not all men." Now that we have that observation out of the way, what's next? Are we done? Are you more upset at the tone of the article you don't quite like, or at the rape threats?
Do we know who did their branding?

Super obnoxious defaults are still super obnoxious if they can be changed. I've used Steam for a while, and don't mind the ads that much, but it would never would have occurred to me that I had the option to turn them off.

Why can't we get any sensible articles about this problem? Do they just not get any attention on aggregation sites?

Call this "victim blaming" if you want, but I'm going to critique the article because it's bad. I'm not commenting on any of the surrounding events because, honestly, claiming you've been harassed in the past doesn't excuse bad journalism -

She starts the article by alienating her intended audience: Leading with a "triggering content" warning and the worst example she had may be eye-catching, but causes both men and women who might be sympathetic but ignorant to immediately write it off as extremist hysteria. I had a lot of trouble pushing myself to read the rest of the article.

Her evidence is severely lacking: Again, case studies are good for sensationalist articles, but they don't hold up to any amount of skeptical scrutiny. She presents 4 brief accounts and two of them are relatively anonymous. You can collect four respectable people who believe just about anything if you try.

She uses sweeping generalizations: All men feel this way, all women feel that way, all women are censored, ect. Even more insulting to an intelligent reader is that she backs up her assertions with hack psychology.

She refutes statistical trends with anecdotes: "The Myth: The game industry is a field men are drawn to more than women." I'm sorry, but the male predisposition towards video games and game development is just a statistical fact. Yes, there are exceptions. Yes, it's less true now than it once was due to advances in technology. Don't lie to your reader and tell them it's a myth, rather, explain why it doesn't excuse the behavior.

I think this is a problem in some places. I want women to feel comfortable in game development and journalism. I want women to feel more comfortable in a lot of industries. This article is the wrong way to spread awareness.

At various times, I've used COBRA, I've had individual plans, and I've had group plans for which I've paid the full premium. I've never seen a difference of anywhere remotely close to 3-4x for COBRA versus an equivalent individual plan.
Firebug can't hook into stuff that the built-in tools can mostly because the built-in tools are inside the browser itself and Firebug is an add-on.

I don't recommend using it any longer...
Really? Maybe it renders differently for you, because here the difference is stark. People keep using TeX so maybe most people don't see a difference. For me, almost every TeX document seems to use a font that looks like something very old and unprofessional. But perhaps as suggested elsewhere it is optimized for higher resolution output devices.
I'm really tired of seeing naive programmers throw the handful of design patterns they know at every problem, not because the abstraction is a fit, but because their toolbox simply doesn't have that many tools.

This is one of the biggest problems with Java — and other “pure OO”, “everything is an object” languages of the same style — particularly from a teaching perspective: when all you have is a class, every problem looks like an object.

If we present a language like Java as being the default, standard, safe option, how are new developers ever going to gain enough knowledge and experience to realise that their elaborate design with seven different classes in Java could have been replaced by a single 10-line function in Python, or a few short lines of Prolog, or a single query in SQL?

What is magic about annual maintenance? In my gasoline car, I change the oil around every 7500 miles (when the car tells me) and rotate the tires at the same time. Total cost about $50 a year. Brakes when they need it for around $200, and when I need it four tires for a little under $1000. Throw in a yearly emissions and safety inspection for $37.

Most gasoline cars will have a 5/60, or 10/100 powertrain warranty. But even outside of warranty, I know I am not going to have to pay $15,000 to fix it. I'm also not stuck going to the manufacturer, price shopping is possible and I'm sure would save money over a dealership.
Many European states (e.g. the Netherlands) have been surveillance states for a long time. People seem happy with it: As long as you live a standard life, get a mortgage, a house, children, pay taxes to support the ever growing police state, nothing will happen to you.

Aw, crap. Do you know the CSS offhand?

I already have to use some user CSS because they removed the ability to set the tab min width via `browser.tabs.tabMinWidth`, because that property wasn't "worth it" according to one developer.

This is pretty cool, especially for learning how to visually parse basic python quickly.

I'd also add a couple of other tools:

Pythonista is indispensable for learning/using Python on iOS. 'Python for iOS' is good too-- it isn't as clean as Pythonista, but it does include the python.org language docs with the app. The both utilize python 2.7 and a REPL, but I think there are other versions that use Python 3.
I spent a Sunday at the top of Hacker News about a year ago and I don't recall ever paying more than $5 a month for my S3 hosting.

I think the power density they quote (50 W/in^3) isn't for dissipation, it's inverted power. I'm not an expert in electrical engineering, but I can't think of a fundamental physics limitation that's a blocker here. If there is one, I'd guess that it'll involve the electromagnetic radiated power of the device. From the specification document [1], they're asking for 95+% efficiency.

Edit - computed the radiation resistance; not a blocker at 60 Hz. Does anyone know a thermodynamic limit?
Amongst my many issues with recruiter spam, one of my biggest pet peeves is when recruiters send me emails about jobs without telling me who the company is or what they do. That's kind of a big deal as to whether or not I'm even remotely interested in the position (I'm probably not).
Forcing them to sell you a transferable version seems reasonable, but I still disagree. First, forcing them to sell you something is meaningless unless you force them to sell it to you at a reasonable price, so you plan requires price fixing. Second, collusion is already illegal. Finally, I don't see the danger.
This is already quickly becoming the case for video games and has been great for the industry, both developer and consumer.
We could use some of this in San Francisco. A lot of young 20-somethings wouldn't mind just having a bed to crash on that has some privacy that costs far less. Too bad the city mandates a minimum size for apartments that are built and limit the number of folks in a unit.
I'm not sure of your issue. The article used the term "associated" meaning that the above average sleep could be a symptom and/or a cause of those referenced health problems. The article does a good job of identifying the optimal sleep duration of a healthy individual. (Healthy being free of temporary and permanent ailments.)

With the exception of (which is ONE specific company) I've never seen the bitten apple used widely as some short of metaphor for "sex shop", including in UK and France.

I'm sure one can find a few examples, as a bitten apple makes sense (like lips do, tits, handcuffs, the letters "XXX" and other such symbols). I doubt one can find many, much less it being the "de facto" sex shop symbol there.
This is a very thorough answer.

I've been on a similar end with different types of threats as a male and have friends that have had similar types of threats (male and female).

I agree with you completely that anonymity should not trump accountability. That does not mean that they have to be mutually exclusive goals, but I too am at the point where I believe people should be held accountable for their actions.
Was this caused by religion or the parochial school?
I'd put my money on the latter, although they could pretty easily transition back and forth between the two as they needed. Start with new replacements, check out the old ones, see what went wrong, fix them up if you can, then use them for new service. If you have a lot of nominally identical items out there, why make the customer wait for a repair when you can swap in a new/refurbished unit, then repair their old one at leisure?
You seem to be missing the important part, where we are comparing death threats made against adult male sports players and rape threats made against women.

Death threats against players are made as a way of voicing displeasure with the player's performance or the result of the game. The intent is to air frustration. Since competitive sports themselves are a way of bringing out the human primal side, being the target of threats or other displays of hostility is perceived and treated as part of the culture (even though it still sucks).

Rape threats against females are made as a way of mentally and emotionally damaging them. The intent is to harm, oppress and silence. This alone makes them way worse than death threats made against players, because women are targeted specifically due to their perceived weakness and inferiority.

P.S. I'm very disappointed by the down-votes. If people are disagreeing with what I'm saying then the situation is much more hopeless than the anecdotes in the article suggest.
I don't know the details of the Microsoft case, but my job was made redundant a number of years ago and I definitely was able to bounce back.

There are lots of legal regulations around terminating employment and one of the easier legal ways is to remove a particular job or position. That's why generally people are not made redundant, their job, position or title is. It's a legal method of cutting costs by pruning the organisation.

It's nothing to do with whether you are a worthy employee. Redundancies don't work that way. They are a practical, legal way of reducing numbers - payroll and staff. In the video, he's wondering why they couldn't simply find another position for him where he could apply his expertise. It's probably because they had to state his job is no longer viable and so the job (and the person occupying those jobs) are let go. If the company were to find other positions for their favorite employees, it opens all kinds of legal problems for HR.

Some people probably don't find blogging platforms all that interesting and would really rather just say what they have to say and get back to whatever else they were working on. If someone asked me what's a good kitchen knife, I wouldn't say, "make your own" (even if that's what I would rather do).
I find the logic of this article somewhat superficial in that the underlying theme is "because the airlines can".

This seems to paint a picture of apathy where as I see it as a sly grab for more revenue. Since you no longer get free bag checking, on most airlines, it makes sense to try and drive more people to checking in bags. Easiest way to do that is increase the chance there is no overhead space available when they do board or make it so annoying to carry on that they relent to check their bags.

As a frequent flyer I don't really have an issue with families boarding early. They allude to it in the article that if they allowed it too many people could board. Yet being a frequent flier for years I have rarely seen more then 1 or 2 families with very small children per flight. So it seems like a very hollow argument to make.

What there are too many of is frequent fliers. It now seems as if half the plane is boarded by one level of frequent flier or another.

Worried about insurance for your kid? Can't happen here, the government will deal with that. Losing your job? Get paid for one or two years by your work insurance. After that you fall back to a free basic income (for as long as you need). And still this system is generally not exploited: People work hard here.

And it's not just unemployment. There are people begging for money on HN regularly, because they are dying (often of cancer) and are now worried about their families. This is just cruel and can't happen that easily on this side of the Atlantic.

But it seems US citizens want to live like that. Why?

FTA:

> We live in a society that’s sexist in ways it doesn’t understand. One of the consequences is that men are extremely sensitive to being criticized by women. I think it threatens them in a very primal way, and male privilege makes them feel free to lash out.

Attributing malice to an actor due to circumstances beyond his control or understanding... I think that qualifies as demonizing. It's reminiscent of racialist and eugenics theory.
In the US this doesn't make sense (for most people), unfortunately.

Employers offer group plans which tend to be much cheaper and offer substantially better benefits than individual plans. The larger the company, the better the arrangement tends to be.

COBRA is designed to fill in that coverage gap when you leave, but as others have noted in this thread, it is not always economical.

JSON does all the things Transit does, with fewer types. (And less stupidity)

Should rename it to Enterprise JSON, because it's JSON with more complexity for those architects who don't realize you can easily store a date as a int, or a URL as a string. (Or cache ANY document)

Seriously... why does a document format need support for caching? It would seem to me that a document format should be agnostic to whether it has been cached or not.

Also, why does a document care what language writes it? I don't understand how a document couldn't be cross platform, like maybe if you're using 36-bit words or some fuckery, but most people these days store documents using 8 bit words. Does anyone seriously have issues with JSON on a PDP-10?

I actually worked a little on this problem some years ago (as a lab tech; take my knowledge with a gain of salt).

One of the largest components in an inverter (such as found in a Toyota Prius) is the capacitor bank. I'll ignore the electrical design and just assert you need X capacitance to get this done. At least in automotive world, polymer film capacitors are used for this purpose. A polymer film capacitor is made from a (very long) sheet of polymer coated on both sides with a thin layer of metal and rolled up into a cylinder. They get quite bulky at capacitances required by these inverters. The other downside is polymer film cannot handle high temperature. I believe the Prius includes an whole extra cooling loop (in addition to the main loop attached to the engine, which runs hotter than the capacitors) to keep the capacitors cool, so that's even more bulk.

A multi-layer ceramic capacitor of similar capacitance can be much smaller, and can handle far greater temperatures than any polymer. The reason why polymer film is preferred is that when ceramic capacitors fail, they do so catastrophically in much the same way as a ceramic dinner plate shatters. At sufficient voltage, or at lower voltage with a sufficient defect, the ceramic will breakdown: a conduction path will form between the electrodes through the ceramic, which will heat the surrounding area, causing thermal expansion, shattering, and permanent destruction of the capacitor.

The same thing happens in polymer film capacitors, except that because the material is flexible, it does not shatter, and only a small hole around the defect will be ablated away. The remaining capacitor loses some capacitance, but otherwise functions normally.

So one way to create a smaller inverter is to use smaller capacitors, but you've got to match capacitance, voltage-handling ability, and fail gracefully.
> Cockroach provides snapshot isolation (SI) and serializable snapshot isolation (SSI) semantics, allowing externally consistent, lock-free reads and writes--both from an historical snapshot timestamp and from the current wall clock time. SI provides lock-free reads and writes but still allows write skew. SSI eliminates write skew, but introduces a performance hit in the case of a contentious system. SSI is the default isolation; clients must consciously decide to trade correctness for performance. Cockroach implements a limited form of linearalizability, providing ordering for any observer or chain of observers.

Either you use a strongly consistent mode that can have poor performance under contention, or a strongly consistent mode that will have good performance under contention but lots of failed transactions. So you get to decide on performance vs availability.

To answer your question, it sacrifices availability, not consistency. It's an MVCC, after all.

You got downvoted because you posted an honest description of your own state of mind in a feminism thread. It happens elsewhere as well, not just on HN. Eventually, you learn to just avoid participating in those conversations. Never mind downvoting for individual disagreement; on certain topics you will be downvoted for disturbing the acoustics of the echo chamber.

Mammalian brains are hard-wired to notice reproductively relevant physical features first. Retraining your brain to notice anything else is fighting against the thousands of generations of sexual selection that occurred before civilization was even invented. The major problem is that there are no outward physical signs of outstanding competence in your niche of economic specialization, so no effective competition to displace "Wow, that body looks like it would be great for assuring the survival and prosperity of my potential offspring."

You cannot wish it away. You can't guilt people into not doing it. It will simply continue as long as our brains are still subjected to the mind-altering chemicals that testicles and ovaries typically produce. You are not a bad person for thinking such things.

But, of course, now that civilization has been invented, and we have developed values beyond simple babymaking, it would be inappropriate to speak or act until well after you have engaged the areas of the brain responsible for either rationality or empathy for at least a few seconds first, and possibly both. The proportion of people who actually think before speaking or doing is still depressingly low, and that is why we see stories like this.
