Without a doubt I wholeheartedly support programs at Microsoft and in the industry that bring more women into technology and close the pay gap. I believe men and women should get equal pay for equal work. And when it comes to career advice on getting a raise when you think it’s deserved, Maria’s advice was the right advice. If you think you deserve a raise, you should just ask.

Ask HN: I got expelled from University. Now what?
Today I heard from my University, RMIT (AU) that I have got expelled because of unsatisfactory results. I am self diagnosed with AD(H)D but because of the social stigma and how it can hurt my career in the future I have avoided seeing a doctor about it. I have no problem with learning or solving complex problems, I just can't push myself to do it. All my assignments are over 80% but I hardly even get to submit any, essentially can't focus.

I am a good programmer, have a decent grasp on design, and really ambitious and have a lot of business idea. Yes, I understand that without being able to focus it is essentially day dreaming...

I am, rather was, doing Software Engineering. I know it may sound rather absurd but I like to use this event as a line to change my life for good. I want to start working on my business ideas but still need to make enough money to sustain.

What advice would you give to someone who is going to lose all his disposable income. the chance of having a degree. How can I workout a recovery plan?

All – Today I was interviewed on stage by Maria Klawe at the Grace Hopper Conference – I encourage you to watch the video. It was great to spend time with so many women passionate about technology. I was honored to be a part of it and I left the conference energized and inspired.

Toward the end of the interview, Maria asked me what advice I would offer women who are not comfortable asking for pay raises. I answered that question completely wrong. Without a doubt I wholeheartedly support programs at Microsoft and in the industry that bring more women into technology and close the pay gap. I believe men and women should get equal pay for equal work. And when it comes to career advice on getting a raise when you think it’s deserved, Maria’s advice was the right advice. If you think you deserve a raise, you should just ask.

I said I was looking forward to the Grace Hopper Conference to learn, and I certainly learned a valuable lesson. I look forward to speaking with you at our monthly Q&A next week and am happy to answer any question you have.

I hope this feature can be disabled. Where I live, the flow of traffic regularly exceeds the stated speed limit - sometimes by 20 mph. It would be very silly to be limited like this.
It feels a lot nicer to me with those spinners.

In the UK, people would typically say "I answered the question wrong" and consider it synonymous with "The answer I gave was wrong". Many Indians (that I know personally at least) seem to copy UK speech patterns more than US ones.

I think you are reading more into this than is really there.
Settle down, no need to sensationalize. That's not what even the OPs comment meant. Also, no, not everyone in India treats women like "chattel" (heck most of them worship them) and I'm pretty sure, neither does Satya.

For me, reading this kinda felt like a reminder that I was in a space that's mostly men - a reminder that I'm a minority here, but not that bothersome. I can imagine it being more bothersome to other women, and the general pattern does make me feel a bit more like an outsider (when lots of these comments happen). Just one data point.
I was more commenting on zero dark thirty, in which the attempt to get genetic material by the doctor was prevented, and played no role in the actual decision to storm the compound.

>I think we'll have to start culling them within a few years, they're becoming an infestation and are simply too intelligent for their own good.

i wonder why we tend to treat that as infestation instead of celebrating that at least some wildlife is able to coexists with us. We lived in a house in Palo Alto and the big family of racoons lived under the house and on the nearby redwoods. It was pretty enjoyable and fun.
His answer was painful to watch. That was not a good answer, even naive given how she asked the question. Not asking for a raise is a superpower when so many women are experiencing a pay gap that is attributed, in part, to not asking for raises? What rational logic leads to such a claim? It's good that he apologized though, maybe he gave it some thought and it isn't just a PR move.
For context, here was Satya's first answer:

> "It's not really about asking for the raise, but knowing, and having faith that the system will actually give you the right raises, as you go along. And that, I think, might be one of the additional super powers, that quite frankly, women who don't ask for a raise have. Because that's good karma, it'll come back! Because somebody's going to know, 'That's the kind of person, that I want trust.'"

I hope every woman at Microsoft asks for a raise tomorrow.
Contrast that with what he actually said at the event:

That might be one of the additional superpowers that women who don't ask for a raise have. It's good karma, it'll come back, because somebody's going to know "That's the kind of person that I want to trust. That's the kind of person that I want to really give more responsibility to."

You know, sometimes these things are taken out of context but that's not the case here. That was horrible advice. The interviewer's answer was 100x better and more practical.

Probably halo effects have something to do with it?

I do think that personality and behavior can influence attraction really, really strongly. And I suspect that how much each factor matters, and what kind of personalities and behavior are attractive, would vary a lot from person to person (given the variety of reasons why friends have said they're attracted to people). But I also think intense attraction to personality is something that wouldn't show up on a test like this. Personality doesn't really come to life just from a description, and for most people who've told me about being really strongly attracted to a personality, it was something kinda unusual, or that would require really getting to know the person before it was visible. Then again, I also wouldn't be surprised if my friends' ways of being attracted to people aren't a representative sample.
>And when it comes to career advice on getting a raise when you think it’s deserved, Maria’s advice was the right advice. If you think you deserve a raise, you should just ask.

Sounds like an unambiguous repudiation of his previous answer to me.

EDIT: Just noticed geetee made the same comment. Didn't mean to steal it.
To give this some context, how fast is your web site might be a good alternative title.
Comments in Hindi are not much better either. I suppose being shitty on the internet transcends any language barrier.
Yeah there's attendants at every station, they're just not always out on the platforms. I've seen them bitch people out for doing it. There's also announcements really frequently telling people not to hold doors.
You conflate "educated" with "superficially cynical."
No, and we actually use a "tasklet" library in Servo for the really fine-grained parallelism (per-CSS-block) where any allocation on task spawn would be far too expensive and work stealing is essential.
I totally agree. This title is misleading. All the examples indicate people who "contribute social value" such as hard work, harmony with others, etc. None of these are dependent on kindness. I think the submitter is confounding it with the popular "nice guys finish last" conception.
" HP Consumer and HP Enterprise have of course mutually exclusive customer bases"

I would have thought there was a lot of overlap. Don't people who have HP Laptops/Desktops and Printers also have HP Servers?
I'm not saying that merely asking for raises will close the wage gap, but since when did "if you're uncomfortable doing something you should be comfortable doing, you need to force yourself to start doing it" become bad advice?
With all of these split happening in such a cluster - there is likely some economic, tax, financial or other environmental reason stimulating such activity. Anyone care to hazard a guess what it might be?

I think you're being unfair. If he said only that, then maybe you could claim that he was hiding that he truly believes women shouldn't ask for raises. However, he clarified and said "Maria's advice was the right advice. If you think you deserve a raise, you should just ask."

The juxtaposition of this 'right advice' with the previous 'wrong answer' should indicate to you his current position on the matter. Speech is a lossy serialization of thought. It depends on our reconstructing context.
I am not commenting on Satya in this reply, just the idea that either a) all women are treated like chattel in India or b) no women are treated like chattel in India. Neither of which of course is true.

Women's lack of equality in India, compared to the UK, are in general I'm afraid pretty appalling, when I was younger I nearly moved to India for a while. But my wife who is of Indian descent was extremely reluctant because of they way they are treated in India compared to the UK. The rights of women are minimal compared to men. That's just the reality.

On the other hand they are allowed out of the house unescorted, so as always it's a sliding scale.

Don't get me wrong India is home to some of the loveliest, kindest and gentlest people I have ever met. On average I'm pretty certain I'm a much less decent human being than the average Indian. It is a country which has many great qualities we can learn from over here, just not respect and equality for women. And that omission, like the caste system, is very saddening. But hey I have a huge log in my eye :-)

People worship their cars, personally I wouldn't equate desire with respect.

The US never will because of the 1st Amendment. All I can say is that your understanding of human nature and agency needs some work. You turn people by interacting with them not shaming them. Basic lesson about human nature. We're lucky some people understood that 200+ years ago. It's carried us further than many of us appreciate.
That is incorrect. IBM sold parts of its hardware business, along with employees and IP rights, to Lenovo. Years ago, IBM also sold its ThinkPad brand to Lenovo. The two companies are not exactly related to one another.
Not to be annoying, but I wish you wouldn't say 'copy'. It makes it sound like an affectation. India only recently gained independence and Indian English is strongly influenced by the way it was spoken in the UK at the time.

I'm sure you didn't mean anything by your choice of words but perhaps using "influenced by" or "derives from" would be better.
What I find most interesting about this discovery is that it on the Australasian side of the Wallace line [1]. This means the people had to have invented boats to get to there as there never was a land bridge to Sulawesi during the last ice age. This is technologically far beyond what any other human groups around at the time were capable of. Mightily impressive.

There's really no analogy there at all.
Interesting point in the article regarding the origins of Man. It's only slightly mentioned, but this discovery puts a question mark on the African origins. And the African origins of Man are actually still a subject of debate, because most of the clues supporting that hypothesis were in places in Africa where excavation was easy compared to anywhere else. It's survivorship bias at least as far as I understand the data we have so far. I would not be surprised if we find out one day that humans "appeared" in different locations not directly connected to each other.

Yes, although one can explicitly mark code as @system. (I've never liked the "unsafe" attribute, as it implies the code is actually broken.)

The company I spoke of did have a yearly review process, I also waited for that yearly review to come up before I objected to the pathetic raises which barely tracked inflation. When one starts out at entry level, one should quickly gain significant raises commensurate with ones skills and abilities. This company clearly tried to get away with doing as little as possible, I also happened to know that senior software engineers at that company in Colorado were making $120k+. Had I kept my mouth shut, sure, in a decade or two I also would have been making $120k+ but in 2020's dollars not 2000's dollars. The actual salary doesn't matter as much as what those dollars can buy.

As for Microsoft, I have no idea how their process works or if they even reward ambition and results. I did work for a larger company later, 6 months in they gave me a $13k raise and 6 months after that another $20k raise when they made me a manager. I never once brought up my salary, what I did do was point out what I thought was being done wrong and then proposed how to fix it. In this case I went to the CTO as my manager really wasn't managing the product at all, I thanked him for hiring me but told him I didn't think I was going to stay. He asked why and I described what it was we were doing and all the problems it was causing. I then followed it up with a solution of how to manage the product. I did not expect, nor even go in there with thoughts of taking over my manager's job. It was just an honest assessment of how to fix and drastically improve the efficiency of the group. One week later the CTO came to see me, privately. He told me they were very impressed with the work I was doing and they wanted to give me the opportunity to manage the product and the engineers working on that project. The first 6 months were probationary, after that I would be made full manager and get a salary increase. At that company, I never needed to negotiate my salary. They were always generous, they listened and were very proactive in keeping their employees happy.

In general though, my experience has been more like the first job. The companies, while having a yearly review process are very stingy. When it's time to hire a manager they bring in someone from the outside as they don't want to hire another engineer and retrain them.

As for Ben Horowitz's article, I would have quickly left any company that followed his advice. Telling me to wait, the company policies etc. I would see them for what they are, a stalling tactic. I would recognize that I was being "handled". With me I voice my opinion, I lay out the facts. If they are ignored, I don't complain, I don't bring it up again. I just quietly look for a new job, and any counter-offers after that point are immediately turned down. As things have gone according to plan, I don't even have to deal with this anymore, because now I have my own company, products and clients.
There is a preponderance of evidence for African origins of Man.

It's about as controversial in the scientific community as global warming.

Sathya's first answer is probably based on his innate belief in teachings of Bhagavad Gita. Many Indians believe that.

In short, what karma yoga means is that "One acts without being attached to the fruits of one's deeds"

It backfired. But lot of people believe in it. Personally it keeps me calm and do my work.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karma_yoga

Background: The Bhagavad Gita gives a summary of the karma yoga process.The Gita itself is a chapter from the epic known as Mahabharata, wherein a dialogue takes place between the prince Arjuna, and his friend and chariot driver, Lord Krishna, on the brink of a great dynastic war. Their conversation is prompted by Arjuna as he is engulfed by sorrow and misgivings regarding the oncoming battle in which he has friends and relatives on both sides. In reply, Krishna then elucidates upon a number of philosophical yoga systems and practices (including karma yoga) by/through which he should indeed continue with the fight on righteous principles.
You know, it's good to actually read Wikipedia before linking it. From your link :

> The major competing hypothesis is the multiregional origin of modern humans, which envisions a wave of Homo sapiens migrating earlier from Africa and interbreeding with local Homo erectus populations in multiple regions of the globe. Most multiregionalists still view Africa as a major wellspring of human genetic diversity, but allow a much greater role for hybridization.[12][13]

And no need to put a Strawman about global warming in your answer.

Huh. I was about to weigh in on how the original comment wasn't sexist, but here you go and prove me wrong. Oh well.
You were nitpicking what he said in his email. You took one sentence to satisfy your need for pedantry and completely ignored what he said after (which disproves your take on the matter.) What does his statement at the event have to do with that?
The reason for "weakly pure" was first discovered by Don Clugston (as far as I can tell). Suppose I have a struct with a member function:

struct S { int s; pure void set(int i) { s = i; }

Now, even in a strongly pure function, I can use the weakly pure function even though it is mutating state through its arguments:

pure int foo(int i) {
S s;
s.set(i);
...
return whatever;
}

I.e. when the effects of a weakly pure function are localized like in the example, they can be called from a strongly pure function and the strongly pure one will remain strongly pure.

It's a really cool idea and it took me a bit to get it, but Don was persistent in explaining it to me :-)
My take is that he doesn't want to encourage anyone to initiate or challenge a raise. That's a pretty normal response from someone in a leadership position.

About Us:
MakeSchool is building a replacement for the computer science degree. This summer we taught 120 high school and college students how to build iOS apps across SF, Palo Alto and NYC. We're currently piloting a 1 year college supplement where students learn mobile and web development, computer science theory, and development focused career skills. The year culminates with an internship at a tech startup. The next step is a 2 year college replacement that will prepare students for a career as a founder or developer. We're looking to build the college experience we wished existed. Our curriculum is used to teach courses at 3 of the top 4 universities for computer engineering. Over 300 students have taken our in-person courses and over half a million students have used our online tutorials. We were founded in 2012 and are funded by Y Combinator, Andreessen Horowitz, Alexis Ohanian, Tim Draper and more.
