The women didn't "allow" anything. They began to speak and their ideas were finished by men, with the rest of the meeting nodding along with them. When there's a female minority and an implicit cultural approval for this type of behavior, it's more than just 'pull yourself up by your ideological bootstraps'. It's easy to say "just do it" when you've never been in an environment that subtly discounts your contributions, no matter how good they are.

It's so irritating that not being gregarious is called mousey, because it's definitely being stated as a knock. As if people can't make excellent contributions without yelling the loudest.

I'm not a woman, and I'm not a minority, but being around my wife (an extremely intelligent, introverted engineer), it's easy to watch the implicit privilege that men use when relating to her. It's easy for them to steal her ideas. She is constantly, constantly challenged by every young man with something to prove, no matter how right she is, no matter how much experience she has in the matter ("Are you sure? Why don't we do it this way?"). It's downright exhausting. If she calls someone out on it, men think of her as "a bitch". If I point it out to them, they often say things like, "Oh wow, I didn't realize I was doing that". Or, they say something defensive like, "Why can't she stand up for herself?"

Sorry for the rant, but this logic is so defeating for actually creating a positive workplace that encourages contributions from everyone, not just 24 year old Messiah-in-training.
As someone who has worked in multiple regulated industries, including with HIPAA, what they accomplish is rarely the intended goals.

Regulation is a weapon to be used by powerful interests to bash competitors. For example, utilities love regulation as it gives them a de-factor monopoly and predictable income.

The medical industry widely ignores HIPAA in a holistic way. Ask any practice you visit about their handling of medical records, IT security practices, etc. Heck, ask them if they still use Windows XP.
Besides, getters and setters are debuggable. They allow you for setting breakpoints, adding Log calls etc... Not so in case of fields.

It would be nice to have some syntax sugar for defining properties more tersely though, like in C#.
This bundle is much more than just OSes and Editors, but includes a lot of coding services which can be a distraction to maintain while also handling one's educational requirements. Yes, you can set up TravisCI instances, an email server, a DNS server, etc, for free. At the same time, being able to have someone else worry about bugfixes and the like can be very useful if you've got a project that you just want to hack on without worrying about also being a sysadmin/devops person for your toolchain.
I didn't, but maybe some people felt that comment didn't add to the discussion. All you wanted to do was injected a single politically charged word into the discussion, you had no insights to add or thoughts on how it applied to this story in particular. It was low effort overall.

Seems now with this additional post that you just made your original post because you wanted to play victim or start an argument, either way it isn't making you look any better and still doesn't contribute to the overall discussion. In particular as you barely waited 5 minutes before declaring yourself a victim.
Oh, interesting :/ Is it the same on "new-hn.algolia.com"? (we removed the HTTP OPTION query that was performed to deal with extra headers & CORS -> maybe it didn't help).
I'm somewhat intrigued by the HAT spec and how the daughter card provides the OS a device tree fragment. Can you comment on the pains/gains from conforming to it?

It doesn't defer it's decision. It is asking for the views of the solicitor general.

The solicitor general has a dual role int he legal system.

In one role, as an advocate, he serves the president, and is responsible for deciding which and whether federal cases get appealed to the supreme court, and representing the government in that case.

In the other role, the solicitor general is a special officer of the supreme court (he actually has an office in the building), and is often asked for an honest assessment of cases that are not government cases.

IE the court wants to know what the solicitor general, as a lawyer who sees a ton of cases before the court, thinks of whether the questions presented and their interplay with federal law, are worth the courts time to hear.

Part of the reason is that the solicitor general is much more plugged into the state of the law and upcoming cases around the country than the supreme court (and rightfully so).

So he may know "there is a case coming up through the courts of appeals that will be a much better case to test issue X or Y", etc.

In the end, he simply makes a recommendation. Sometimes the court accepts the recommendation, sometimes it doesn't.
This is very specifically for Microsoft keyboards. There's multiple bugs that are exploited (both in the $1 receiver chip he's using and the fact that all MS keyboards start with the same bit for their mac address) that make it very easy in that specific case.

Also, how much was the rule actually observed back in your formative years? I feel like mysoginy and inequality are issues that are only slowly and recently becoming tthought about and reconsidered by the North American societies.
It's not like every washer needs to be removed simultaneously. Just rebuild each component one by one.

That said, it's still amazing work. When some friends built a Lemons car (nowhere near as exacting), I was surprised to find that probably 75% of our time and communication was inventory management and organization. You think you're going to be welding and spinning nuts? No, you're going to be heading back to the store for more acetone and Sterilite boxes while your friend spends hours sorting parts looking for the !#$*@ headlight switch.
1. A more powerful time filter would be very useful (Last week, last month, last year, custom range where dates can be picked).

Without this search is not very useful to me at the moment. So I use Google to search HN since they do offer a filter

2. Points filter and comments filter would also be great (> 10 points and/or > 5 comments). I get lot of results which have no activity

Is it that hard to just make Lua another W3C standard, enable it in the browsers and make this world a bit better?
The world is already divided, in terms of class now more than in recent times (in the Western world), people are simply realizing it. Of course your ideal would be nice and a good goal to strive for/recapture. But whether that happens depends more on government policy than politeness.

In the past people were probably more divided on racial, sexual orientation, or other lines.
Some sort of deal to get SoundCloud and Bandcamp artists' content available on Spotify would be great.

There are anecdotes of trans men (female to male transsexuals) noticing this. They are the same person mostly and do the same thing, yet they get treated much better.

There was one trans man who is a scientist and has published under female and male names. Someone, who didn't know, remarked that he was much better than his sister.

You should probably explain your mystery value better than that.
1) They aren't deferring the decision of whether to become active; they're asking the administration to provide its thoughts. They aren't bound to do what the administration says, but it's not unprecedented or even that odd.

2) Not to be pedantic but for the benefit of others who may not be aware: the Supreme Court is the highest judicial body, not the head of the legislative body. Congress is legislative, the courts are judicial, and the Obama administration is the current incarnation of the executive branch.

Microsoft first has to test and deploy the patch to their servers, not yours. At the level they're operating, a schedule seems like an obvious requirement for releasing patches.
Maybe we need to create conference rooms where everyone is in closed off little rooms and everyone speaks anonymously? Otherwise, I don't know how we easily combat this seemingly deep-rooted bias.

I think this is only true in the short term. Enormous stretches of the Russian and Eastern European mafias are made up of ex-KGB who went into business for themselves when the Soviet Union fell.

Racism is not tribalism. Tribalism is in-group loyalty. Racism is a property of a society where some races are largely absent from positions of power. If black people like Bugs Bunny and white people like Daffy Duck, that's not racism. If blacks are underrepresented in tech, politics and CEO positions -- that's racism. If blacks and whites live in different neighborhoods then that's not racism. If blacks live in neighborhoods where college attendance and average income are lower -- that's racism. Once you understand that power is the central component in what constitutes racism and sexism, we can move this discussion forward.

You see, if you asked something like, "well, teenaged nerds are in fewer romantic relationships, which are a source of social status and hence power, isn't that like racism", then at least you'll be in the ballpark. But as long as power is missing from your discussion of what you think racism (or sexism) is, then you're missing the issue altogether.
Where do you draw the line between "these women have internalized misogyny" and "people are more critical of their own gender?"
> What if we started believing women when they tell us their experiences?

I have a ratio of around 1:10 female:male from my tech staff. I have not seen this "powerful women speak less consciously because of negative reactions" from women any more or less than I see in men. I'm not saying it doesn't exist, I am saying it's natural for variation to exist and it's not exclusive to women.

But whatever, keep pushing that narrative. It hasn't worked in 12 months, but maybe today eh.
Or a wiki page at github is even better
1. Makes sense, good point!

2. Yes, there is actually a trick in the query syntax: if you use "points>10" you'll get all posts that have more than 10 points. I'll plug the filter on the number of comments as well (like comments>X). Do you think we should rather have sliders?

But assembly doesn't have instructions for "out-of-order execution, cache levels, execution pipelines, etc"
I was in Regina SK, Canada this time last year, and for a South African who'd only ever experienced ~-10 degrees C, it was a humbling experience. The coldest day when I was there was below -50C, and on one day I missed my bus and walked to work on -42C. I did adapt after a while, but I don't think I'd be able to live in Oymyakon.

About 15 years ago I remember reading an article on a magazine about the coldest town on Earth, I was most fascinated by people having to walk backwards, and boiling water freezing mid-air, something I forgot to try while in Canada.

I like the additional filtering in the experimental interface, for example to switch between "All" and "Hot". I could see that being quite useful. Though the experimental page has too much whitespace for my liking - I can see 5-6 stories on a page vs. 10 or so on the HN style page.

It would be great if it saved my preferences (Sort by, date range) since I usually end up flipping those values to the same thing.

One minor annoyance is "JavaScript" being picked up when I search for "java". Would be nice to have the option to search for whole words.

A very minor annoyance is usernames are treated the same as text in stories. If I search for 'IBM' for example, I'll get all stories submitted by user 'IBM'.
Whenever I read anything like this I always wonder where does the society end and individual begin? Is such a distinction necessary or even valid?
I have been working in big companies that do only local-language hiring, and they definitely use local business terms mixed with english programming terms in identifiers. formattedZugNummer in german or montantFacturé in french for example. Unicode is a bliss here.

Almost all of the colleagues are not native english speakers, so it does make absolute sense to not waste time translating these terms (differently!) every time.

I guess it depends how much "international" the company is.

I actually liked the article's prescription. Not because of gender issues alone, but because I've worked in offices where the smartest people in the room were also the quietest (both men and women).

It would probably be next to impossible at this point. Javascript is too entrenched.

Which is a really bad solution.

The proper solution would be to put the AOSP version on the store, but keep it open.

Also Google Play Frameworks should be split in the AOSP parts of their libs and the few actually closed parts.
That is an outstanding conversion rate. I wonder how it compares to its competitors.
This sounds like something really cool to use along with NoScript! I often find myself allowing piles of scripts to run, simply because the page's content (often images, but sometimes even text) is loaded via JS instead of The Right Way.
Yes "prefixed" search is enabled by default as-you-type. Just press "Enter", it will disable it. Being able to totally remove the "prefixed" search makes sense however.

>So he may know "there is a case coming up through the courts of appeals that will be a much better case to test issue X or Y", etc.

Could this be an admission that the largely senior citizen SCOTUS defers techie stuff to the SG because its so out of their experience? Its interesting to think that we have one court that could decide an issue in any form of human endeavor. From, say, abortion to copywritable APIs. Its kinda scary how much power they ultimately wield and quite a statement about how deeply we're governed and controlled by the state.
I can't tell if those are rhetorical questions or not. Part of it might be patriarchy, but I'm pretty sure for the most part it's just nature at work. Women competing with other women for the attention of men doesn't sound new to me.
1. Map isn't "also a data structure", the data structure is a way to implement a mapping function. There is no conceptual difference between code and data (for an example, see http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cons#Not_technically_fundamen...)

2. cadr is relatively easy, if you know your assembly (http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_and_cdr#Etymology) :-)

And math has locally defined terms because one cannot give every concept a unique short meaningful memorable name. That is no different in computer science, where 'integer' can include negative numbers or not, may or may not wrap around, can be any number of bits or potentially unlimited, may include minus zero, etc.

I searched quite a bit and settled on Grasshopper.com. Main determining factors were price and web sip client support, i.e., make phone calls from your browser or mobile phone.

I think the article kind of addresses this point when talking about 1) the overwhelming frequency which this happens to women over men and 2) the negative perception of women who do voice their opinion. In a lot of ways not speaking up means protecting yourself from negative perception in the workplace.
My personal experience makes me think that being minority might be one of the important factors, if not the most important one. Minorities are regularly ignored and interrupted in meetings while the majorities, unless explicitly reminded, don't feel it.

I don't mean the majorities do it intentionally. Some of them, when reminded they are interrupting, apologize sincerely. It could be deep in human's conscience.
Block heaters in cars are not effective in extremely cold temperatures. They keep the oil warm, but the battery still gets too cold to crank. In college, I used to remove my car battery from my car and store it on my kitchen floor at night so I could start the car in the morning.

Cameras will suffer similar issues. Lithium Ion batteries are only rated down to -20degC. Below that, the internal impedance of the battery rapidly increases as temperature decreases, and you get extremely shortened battery life. I once tested a product I designed, that normally works for 24 hours, and got only 2.5 hours from it at -40degC.
> “The type of person who is attracted to these jobs and thus to the Seattle area seems to be... strangely entitled...." Arlene said that she was once contacted by a Microsoft programmer on OKCupid who required that she read Neuromancer before “he would consider taking me out on a date. He was not joking.”

The idea that a guy should feel grateful for the opportunity to take a girl who looks down on him out to dinner is pretty far up there if we're chalking up examples of self-entitlement. Makes me suspect the real reason for her reaction was surprise at not being in the traditional position of judging and rejecting the guy first.
Sliders will probably make the UI a bit busy in the current version. If the syntax is easy, just linking to the syntax should be sufficient.

In your experimental UI, the sidebar can expose all these filters without cluttering up the main UI
So I think a fair question at this point is how often does that happen? To further inquire, how often does that happen in contexts that you don't control?

I'm sure that library/framework people need to worry about that. Most normal developers do not. For many cases Java objects like Article are just structs. They are static maps. Sure, in the example on the site there was a getTags that added some logic, but still, pretty much a struct.

Switching to either public accessor for mutable or immutable objects actually will stream line code. You might say that public mutators are bad; encapsulation and all that. For the most part little is actually gained in the majority of getter/setter code to necessitate their weight.

Heck, as per the JavaBean spec (a spec for making components to create drag and drop UIs by the way), you can't even have fluent APIs where the setter returns "this". It has to be void.

API stability has value. If you're a library, you probably want to do this just to be safe. But really for most imperative Java code it's just a lot of fluff for little value.
It's a bit of a strange relationship:

The manufacturers can't insist that google support older versions with proper patch releases for bugs like this, because they aren't paying for it.

On the other hand, google really can't expect to drive the manufacturers test & release cycles. I expect that even a minor release is an expensive testing effort on their part, so they are understandably reluctant to do this off cycle.

I think this is the point of some of google's recent changes, but it's unclear how well that will work in practice.
> Does anybody else find it disturbing that the Supreme Court, which, as the head of the legislative, should be a fully independent entity, defers its decision of whether it should become active to the head of the executive/judicative?

Congress is the legislative branch, the Supreme Court is the highest body of the judiciary branch, and the President is the head of the legislative branch, so you've got the three branches mostly all mixed up in that question.

On top of that, the Supreme Court is not deferring the decision to the head or any member of the executive, it is soliciting input from the executive branch in a rather routine manner. (Specifically, it has communicated that "The Solicitor General is invited to file a brief in this case expressing the views of the United States.")

> So much about the separation of powers...

The Supreme Court still makes the decision, it just is soliciting input from the executive. Is it a violation of separation of powers when Congress calls a member of the executive to testify on a legislative proposal?
You can at least increase costs as far as mass surveillance is concerned. Facing a targeted attack is rather hard, even with proper crypto and procedures in place.
Unfortunately you have a rather poor read on the current electorate over here right now. While the Tories are not the most popular party around you have to look at the competition. Labour is a joke and Ed Miliband couldn't get elected to local council at this point; infighting between SNP and Labour in Scotland will mean that while the left will still have heavy support in the north it will not necessarily be to Labour that most MPs owe allegiance. The Lib Dems are done for the next decade. A cycle being ineffective lap dogs to the Tories has pretty much crushed their future. UKIP is picking up a lot of what is more nationalistic than traditional "hard right" and if it comes down to it UKIP would gladly replace the Lib Dems in the coalition; the Tories would prefer this not to happen but having UKIP out there is not quite as bad for them as it seems to most voters, the votes they lose are not going to be supporting a Labour government when all is said and done.

The end result is that you are likely to see the Tories back in power by the end of summer, in a somewhat different coalition and with mildly adjusted policies. Either way, more of the same.
I know the pain. Settled for using them both but it is still so inferior. :(
Interestingly Microsoft aren't the only manufacturer to use the Nordic chipset for their "proprietary" 2.4GHz keyboards. I believe that Logitech's system is based on the same protocol.

I'm unsure if Logitech keyboard are affected in a similar way, I know that this attack only affects Microsoft keyboards but they may have similar issues.
What are you disagreeing with? You both have different music preferences.
