I wholeheartedly agree that she faced a lot of prejudice. But not all prejudice is sexism, just ask any other kind of minority! There are minority men who are on the receiving end of prejudice who will tell you that there's a lot more to it than just sexism.

> The idea that the harassment wouldn't happen if she were old and ugly doesn't make it not about sexism

Yes, yes it does.

From the dictionary:

sexism: prejudice, stereotyping, or discrimination, typically against women, on the basis of sex.

synonyms:	sexual discrimination, chauvinism, gender prejudice, gender bias
"your hiring practices have generated numerous complaints about sexism"

According to that definition a man who likes women and hits on some of them isn't sexist, unless he also happens to think that men are better than women.

My point is simply that sexism isn't defined as "all things that happen to a woman that she doesn't like" or else literally everything bad that happens to a woman is sexism and I think it's obvious that her alarm failing to go off isn't sexism or getting in a car accident isn't sexism.

It sounds to me like she experienced sexism, sexual harassment, ageism, dress-ism (is that the right word?) and voice-ism (???) and they're all bad. But they're not all sexism.
There's also no example of capitalism working. That didn't stop us from using it and trying to fix all the problems it produces - an ongoing process, which fails all the time.

If it wasn't clear from your earlier comments it is now that if you have read any Marx you didn't understand it.

> Marx himself mostly hated local socialists (they wanted practical stuff and found him ridiculous).

HAH! That is the complete opposite:

https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1880/05/parti-ou...

'Accusing Guesde and Lafargue of “revolutionary phrase-mongering” and of denying the value of reformist struggles, Marx made his famous remark that, if their politics represented Marxism, “ce qu'il y a de certain c'est que moi, je ne suis pas Marxiste” (“what is certain is that I myself am not a Marxist”).'

> This is ugly and pollutes your history graph across branches. After all, a merge should only occur to merge a finalized branch in.

I thought it was best practice to merge master into your branch now and then to keep it up to date and avoid one big messy merge at the end. What is the disadvantage exactly?
Nexus 7 doesn't even have the default Browser application installed. It's Chrome and only Chrome.
This appears to be a complaint that "business can't compete if it has to pay its employees properly." What the "gig economy" offers used to be called "day labour", and it was always just that one step from starvation. There are reasons people want stable conditions, and are learning to fear the word "disruption" and consider it an attack on them and theirs.
And when the same blue print produces the same horrorific implementation every time? At some point it has to be recognized when the flaw is with the architect.
In Soviet Russia, the three main waves of repression were the Red Terror, the Collectivization, and the Great Purge. Only the last of those was caused by a power-hungry dictator, the first two were caused by committee leadership.
Interestingly, crime is much less of an issue across the river in St. Paul, even though both cities have approximately the same number of police officers per capita (according to Wolfram Alpha). Housing is also generally cheaper in St. Paul.

Actuator models systems in declarative Python, automates standing up instances
You can find Actuator at:

https://github.com/haxsaw/actuator

This alpha release of Actuator currently works on top of OpenStack clouds and uses Ansible’s Python API and module ecosystem to perform provisioning and configuration tasks. The idea behind Actuator is to provide an environment where systems are modeled from end to end (infrastructure, namespace, configuration, and eventually execution), but leave it up to you as to how you use those models: you can simply “execute” them to stand up systems in the way that other orchestration systems do, or you can take advantage of them being in Python and integrate the modeling facilities into other systems to enrich the overall utility of Actuator.

The release includes an example of the use of Actuator to create a model of a basic Hadoop cluster and how to run the model to create the cluster:

https://github.com/haxsaw/actuator/tree/master/src/examples/hadoop

I’d be interested to hear if people find this a compelling approach to this problem in order to drive the decision to develop it further. Also, I’d be happy to hear from anyone interested in becoming a contributor.
From my experience, whenever a manager is let go the team soon goes and gets repaced by all new faces.

It think when you see someone more senior go it's a catalyst for someone in that team to think "Ooops, time for me to go" and once one or two team members leave, the others feel resentment (didn't get promoted into the managerial position) or fear of change (rightly so -- a new manager is going to make mistakes and half the team is gone)
Right on brother. Nobody makes it in fortune magazine by telling everyone how polite the men were. Reminds me of:

This is mostly true but browsers treat Basic Auth special. To use Authorization Bearer headers you have to use JavaScript and perhaps localstorage. When using Basic Auth the browser caches your credentials and allows you to be authenticated without cookies and without JavaScript code. The only way you can use OAuth header authorization today is with JavaScript apps, Basic Auth works with normal server side apps.
Thanks, I was looking for something like this. Alt-C only supports android and windows, and will never support my desktop systems(GNU/Linux and OpenBSD). Thanks :)

13 Simple and Surprisingly Effective Exit Pop-Up Examples
> People are good with dealing with a small number of simple things that can be stacked together. Throw in a human-readable data stream, and you're set to understand and use a stack of simple programs.

Not true! Text parsing is a pain in the ass; give me a well-documented binary protocol any day. On the upside, binary protocols tend to force good documentation. HTTP/1.1 is far from simple; every browser supports a slightly different implementation and the server is expected to serve to all of them. But a binary protocol is not any more difficult than a text-based protocol for someone with a decent knowledge of CS. If you don't have a decent knowledge of CS, you probably shouldn't be writing code at the protocol level.

Besides, who in their right mind outputs directly to ANY protocol these days? Unless you're building a web server, you should be doing it through an abstraction layer because it's a proper architecture practice. Once abstraction layers are built for all of the major languages (which I'm willing to bet has already happened) it will become a non-issue.
True, but Google has a long tradition of not revealing its internal processes. That's because whenever people thought they understand how it works, they tried to game it. That's why there are hundreds of spam comments that get through recaptcha on my blog each month (and I'm nowhere near a popular blogger). I imagine they don't want people trying to game this system.
I agree with all 5. My main point is simply that not as many people as you may believe care about owning their content. Truth is it will benefit them more on a shared platform.

I have never used Medium, and most likely never will, but I would love a Medium built inside HN. That, I would use.
>> Using past votes is a tough approach, since you need to decide what each bill "means"

Presumably I'm only going to compare my preference to their vote on bills that I care about and understand. For example, Michigan blocked Tesla from selling cars here. They cut education spending, etc... Some people care about different things, I just want to know how the candidates stack up. True this only works for incumbents, but listening to campaigns is somewhat useless anyway. You could also compare your preferences to all of them and see which party actually represents you, I'm sure some people would be surprised.

I thought the 'Rails' approach with tons of magic and thick layers of abstraction as one monolithic something does not reflect the Node mindset of being modular. With Express, Koa and other minimal stacks the Node ecosystem is quite happy and maybe thats the key motivation they moved to this stack. Almighty Rails-esque frameworks—or already the word 'framework' is a bit a thing of the past. Small one-purpose libs are the way to go, at least in Node-land or did I miss anything?
I guess my point to CEOs and managers alike is this – don’t fire people in front of 1,000 colleagues for no real reason. To put it mildly, it doesn’t help morale.

There's an assumption here that Armstrong wanted to boost morale, because that's what a good person would do, or because that's what other effective managers do.

And really, one very simple explanation for what would otherwise be a howling blunder like this is that it was damn well intentional; that it was exactly intended to provoke stress and anxiety. That destroying morale was explicitly the point.

Is that so unthinkable? Fear and domination are popular management strategies when times are tough, and times have been tough in the journalism business - as the author takes some time to point out - for quite a while.
I have been working on a small shell script to get the top 500 posts of the top 5000 subreddits. The big issue is the api call limit is 60 req/min for OAuth2 tokens. It would save a lot of time if someone made a torrent of a data set like that, I will probably post the data I collect somewhere as well but it would be easier if reddit just hosted a data set like the one I described. They could probably post one on AWS public data sets. https://aws.amazon.com/datasets/

As far as I know "Scotch" and "Cognac" are only protected in the EU.

In any case, the parent claims that Frank-Lin Distillers just uses pure ethanol to produce all of it's products. Given things such as bourbon permit the addition of "neutral grain spirits" those products make sense. I was curious about the Canadian whiskey case since it is explicitly one of the few protected spirits in law and appears to at least require production and aging in Canada.
Testing Accordion Menu Designs and Iconography
I'm another Midwesterner thinking of taking my family to a coast. My biggest concern is that, being well past college-age (but a bit under where people usually start hitting age discrimination) I may have waited too long.

I lack a top university pedigree, and I have a fair bit of experience but it's all of the typical Midwestern sort—nothing exciting, nothing you've ever heard of. I reckon I'm somewhere between the top 25% and 5% around here talent-wise, but I fear I may be so far down in the bottom 50% anywhere near an ocean that I'll be unemployable, especially without a household-name university on my résumé. I haven't put hundreds of hours in to open source so my GitHub is unimpressive. I've never had an employer who paid me to contribute to open source. (Damn do I envy the people who get paid for that! No agonizing over whether to spend time with the wife or kids, do any of a hundred other things that aren't programming and I also like to do, or try to log some unpaid commits to impress prospective employers!)

Anyone in a similar position had any luck getting offers on the coasts? How about remote positions with coastal companies? Frankly, I find my résumé so embarrassing compared to what seems to be the "typical" applicant in SV or Seattle that I'm not sure it's worth the hours it takes to submit to a few positions. Is this just the HN effect where it seems like everyone's really amazing all the time except me, or will the rest of the stack truly be full of MIT and Harvard grads with three years at Google and numerous international awards for building cancer-curing, firefighting, baby-kissing drones that also make a mean cup of coffee?
In the midwest the cities are empty and soul-less, whereas I'm told on the coasts its the burbs that are empty and soul-less.

Many Midwestern cities are great, but some downtown areas (meaning the business district, not the whole city) are what you describe. They feel like New York's FiDi. It's changing, but there are blocks in the Chicago Loop that basically close down at 5:00, even though nearby neighborhoods are still active. That said, there are plenty of neighborhoods in Chicago and Minneapolis and Pittsburgh that are vibrant. There just isn't the convex, contiguous block of them that you get on Manhattan (plus parts of Brooklyn and Queens) minus FiDi.

Midwestern suburbs are even more soulless than on the coasts-- suburbia sucks everywhere-- but many Midwestern small towns are nice-- if that's the scene you want. People who live in, say, Northfield, MN will argue vehemently that they're not in suburbia, and they're right. There's a sense of community that you don't get in some California strip mall. Small towns still exist out there. The public schools are good and people go ice fishing or cross-country skiing on the weekend, but you're 40 miles from the theaters. There's a main street with good coffeeshops and pedestrian traffic... but 5 miles out is suburban crapola or woods or cornfields. Like I said, it's not for everyone, but it's a different lifestyle than the suburban one.

Also, what you're describing doesn't seem to apply to the under-35 set. Young people, even in the Midwest, favor cities and, over time, that's reviving them. But it doesn't happen quickly. It's true that there's no shame in living in suburbia in the Midwest, because people are less focused on the social status of one's neighborhood, whereas moving to Jersey if you work on Wall Street can hurt your professional future. I consider that a virtue of the Midwest (even though I dislike suburbia and personally would not want to live there).

Finally, the Midwest is more suburb-centric than New York and Boston, but it's not really any worse than California or even DC/Baltimore.

Simple lead generation workflow using Typeform + Zapier + Trello
Most of the culture in the Minneapolis metro area is in Saint Paul and Minneapolis. Downtown Minneapolis is not in any way a slum area. There are lots of luxury condos and apartment buildings on the Minneapolis skyway. The same for downtown Saint Paul. Downtown Saint Paul is nowhere near as vibrant as downtown Minneapolis but that is slowly changing.

Your information about Minneapolis is wrong.

Competition can be limited not only in "hard" way (like not allowing any third-party apps), but also in many "soft" ways.

Google uses his position to set default options for apps and this mean he gets all "unconscious" (and too lazy) users. This is unfair (not backed by any real superiority of his apps) advantage. Yandex tries to change default options for some vendors and Google again uses his position to limit it (limit competition). I'm totally for users making conscious choice, but with status quo it is unconscious choice and skewed in the way that gives Google unfair advantage.

In generally this Yandex vs Google reminds me AMD vs Intel case [1] when Intel used his better position to limit competitor without having real superiority.

> The non-free Google Play APIs, which are heavily used by many Android apps.

I think this is an exaggeration. Some developers make too many assumptions, sure, but I don't think you'll find many high-profile non-Google apps that don't run on a Kindle Fire tablet for this reason.

EDIT: People seem to think that Google Services contain the bread and butter of the Android OS, but if you look at what APIs are actually provided by them [1], it doesn't contain anything that is not a client of Google's cloud services.

Banner here seems to refer to the 'banner' output of ssh, or telnet, or some other service (those are the most likely however imho).

When you connect over services, the banner (the first information presented to the client, before authentication) can be configured to include the 'hostname' setting of the server you have connected to.

If I am right about that, this means that the hostname setting of the server is still set to localhost, as it is default out of the box until configured.

As a MSP-ian with a pretty heavy classical & jazz & random stuff habit, I never go to the suburbs unless I'm visiting my grandparents. Ever. Even in quiet and boring downtown St Paul it is easy to rotate through the opera/the chamber orchestra/the Baroque Room/Studio Z/Bedlam Theater/the Amsterdam and match that with drinks at any number of establishments. Minneapolis has many more choices and more beautiful people, all downtown, including one of the most vibrant theater scenes in the country. And our city farmer's markets kick ass. The suburban ones are small and in a church parking lot.

Why would you go to a suburb for culture? I seriously don't understand. There is nothing in the MSP suburbs unless the orchestra drives out there for an outreach concert. And my friend who likes country music drives out of town to a country bar...
Wow. I pay $1250 for my studio in Boston.

If you're feeling dirty with my approach (with the endless list of hacks), you can, of course, use the masquerading way. It is also a possible solution, but it does not handle all types of "outbreaks". For example, you can leave the app via the status bar.
"You'll need to download the code from Github, create a Twitter application, register a free account with AYLIEN, generate an app specific password for your Google account if you're using 2 Factor Authentication, make a copy of this spreadsheet in your Google Drive, and update the constants in the code. The whole process won't take more than 5 minutes!"

This is your problem. Right there.

Indeed. It's only possible to claim that European Social Democracy is some kind of ordeal for most of the population, compared to US Capitalism if you ignore all the facts.

E.g. Even in the tooth-and-claw UK, I remain thankful for the fact that I can run a business without having to worry about being financially raped by healthcare providers.

The reality is that socialist-lite state funding of essential services and infrastructure gives populations a lot of freedoms that simply aren't available in a corporatocracy, and is also more stable socially, politically and economically.

Dogmatic assertions that wilfully disregard the mountains of evidence to the contrary don't have much to offer in this kind of argument.
Or they could have solved actual problems people have like the lacking of privacy features and the problems with HTTP Authentication currently.
Or just search for your product title on Twitter and automate that.

For point 2, there are a few factors that go into distinguishing a non-manufacturer patent holder vs. a patent troll. First, is the use of low quality patents. A low quality patent is one or more of the following:

* Overly broad

* Describes the problem space, and claims all possible solutions to that problem

* Written in such a way that you can't implement the covered technology based on the patent description

* Covers existing practice, or what is destined to become standard practice in a new field, but worded in such a way to make it appear more novel

* Doesn't pass the non-obviousness test (need to be careful with this one, because a lot of patent-worthy inventions are obvious in hind site)

Also, a patent troll typically waits till a technology is well established before suing, in order to maximize payout (see submarine patents). Another soft clue to identifying a patent troll, is if the party being sued had came to knowledge of the covered technology by way of the patent or patent holder/inventor. If it is independent invention, then that could indicate that the patent fails the non-obviousness test.

As far as point two, given that Apple is the 'benevolent dictator' of this app store, releasing apps under multiple accounts is a risky venture since developers and companies run the risk of getting banned completely. The overheard of wasting the time to actually do that also has to be small enough to make the potential gain worth while. Apps also seem to benefit from network effects, so it could hurt developers to spread their popularity for the same app across different apps in a discreet enough way that Apple wouldn't notice.
