I rather consider this part of a feedback loop. There's such a thing as "going to far." When that happens people naturally react and provide a valuable perspective, which will help guide future "affirmative action."

Gina's concerns are extremely valid. Perhaps we've reached a point where gender shouldn't entirely trump merit. Perhaps a mixed-gender team (like the one she was on) with a more technical project should have been considered. Perhaps we're starting to piss off our hard-working women by promoting superficial yet PR-worthy success stories like the winners of that hackathon.

We just need to find a balance. I'm confident that for as long as we stay open to having these discussions, listen to the people we intend to effect, and make future decisions accordingly, we'll reach true gender equality sooner.

Wikipedia is a global encyclopedia run by the non-profit Wikimedia foundation, Facebook is an ad-serving, for-profit social network.

Quote from consultation paper, page 34 [1]

Globally, the overall revenues in the telecom/ICT sector are expected to continue rising because of growth in users, traffic and applications. Even though there may be a loss of up to 6.9 per cent in cumulative voice revenues (representing $479 billion) because of OTT services, the total revenue for TSPs is likely to grow to $2.4 trillion in 2019 from $2.1
trillion in 2014

I was way off base. :)

I always check my car doors are locked before walking away, even though I have a more conventional remote central locking system. For the last few years in South Africa, crooks have been using things like garage door openers to block the signals of remotes. Once the driver walks away from the car they steal its contents.

Ask HN: How do you get beta users?
I was kind of hoping this would be a service that sends you a postcard each week with some information and exercises that you're expected to do without a computer. Maybe the postcard could be scantron-able so the customer simply does the work in a notebook then fills in the bubbles on the card then gets a grade for the last week stamped on the card that comes the following week (or maybe that's going too far with the no computer policy and there can be a website that shows what questions you got wrong).

I'd pay a few bucks a week for something like that.

Almost 7 years ago, I started suffering from Alopecia Areata on my head. Also, my beard hair started to slowly turn grey/white. At that time I was working about 90h/week. I still suffer from it to this day and it's most active when I'm stressed about something in my life, more and bigger bald spots than usual.

Not to say that all cases of the disease are caused by stress, but I've meet a few people (via my dermatologist at the time) where stress seems to have some relation to it.

Imagine you need to compute a list that takes a second to calculate, a list that is twice as long will take 2^1=2 seconds, a list that is 10 times as long will take 2^10=1024 as long, if the list gets 100 times as long, it will take so long that the universe will probably have burned out by then.
I've tried making the switch last week but Atom is still missing some very essential basics for me, such as the ability to quit the app, reopen it, and have it automatically restore the same views, layout, files, and cursor location it had when it closed. I tried a couple add-ons that claimed to add this feature of Sublime Text to Atom but I just got a lot of plugin errors and they didn't actually work.

I also miss some basic things like the ability in Sublime Text to start up in fullscreen automatically (not a maximized window, but true distraction free fullscreen with no system UI or menubar visible).

Additionally for some reason the fuzzy search is extremely slow and seems to reindex from scratch regularly, blocking me for about 10 seconds every single time I restart the app, compared with Sublime Text where I have never had to wait on a blocking indexing operation to use the fuzzy search.

I think Atom will be great some day but it still isn't there for me yet.
Thanks. I must have confused it with some amendment regarding competition commission.

>Who cares if some drunk guy kills himself

I think lots of people care. I didn't mean to make it a small point that drunk driving endangers other people, but I wanted to point out that there are lots of life-threatening behaviors between drunk driving and sleeping with someone you wouldn't have slept with sober. I also think you're being far too flippant about people killing themselves with their own poor decisions. It's not the same problem as killing others, but there are lots of people in the world who would still like to prevent deaths from drug overdoses, alcohol poisoning, single-party drunk driving accidents, and so on.
This question is completely off topic, but I'm hoping someone might have an answer as google searches have been fruitless for me.

Why doesn't Atom support :w to save when in vim-mode? Is there any way to toggle this on? I can't remove 10 years of muscle memory and start using [cmd]s.

At least since WWI, the US Federal Government has a long history of fucking people over in profoundly undemocratic ways.

Even small betrayals accumulate to significant mistrust.

Sigh. It is illegal for Google, like any other company, U.S. or foreign, to donate even $0.01 to any "congressional representative" (by that I take it you mean candidate for federal office or a current federal office-holder).

Google has never done so, and nobody, except you, has ever accused the company of doing so. Not only is this a slur, is the FUD equivalent of chemtrails, and it has no place on HN.

> The relevant EU Commission is not a court

True, but the principle is a common one. And it is adversarial in that the Commission is prosecuting and Google is defending. This isn't a cooperative investigation.

To the extent that courts do not try hypothetical controversies, they also depend on actual proof and not unproven harm. How do you suppose a company would be found guilty of about-to-violate-antitrust-laws?

This could get ugly if the kiosk tells someone they're below the limit, they drive off in their car and then the cop who pulls them over thinks otherwise.
I am not a hardware dev but I think this attack could be defeated by having the car measure the amount of time the key takes to respond to the call outs. If it takes more time than it should for the signal to travel a few feet, then it shouldn't unlock. If they embraced this method then existing cars could be protected with a software update instead of new hardware.
I've used Atom for quite a while now (mostly for Go projects). Go-plus plugin is just awesome. I've also taken up development of [sourcegraph-atom][1] plugin.

For most day to day coding file size limits and slowness which comes from big files is not relevant. If your source files are huge you probably want to split them up more. If you have to work with big files Atom is not for you, but so are most editors. For data extraction and transformation I rather use CLI.

Where I've noticed slowdown the most is when you open up many files, I think things could be improved there, but again typically you don't need 20 files open in editor at the same time.

Multiple projects is a nice feature, but I'm already used to opening multiple windows if I do need to have multiple folders open. I'm sure the community will come up with some nice uses/plugins for it.

I think one of the biggest pluses for Atom is the active community and plugins and they're invested to keep it going and improve.

News by Numbers: Let’s Get Personal
Have you attended any OHA meetings? You're making quite a lot of unbacked up assertions.

Microsoft for years ran many working groups for hardware partners, for example, the Microsoft groups for DirectX which allowed NVidia, AMD, et al, to influence and collborate on common specs. Microsoft "led" the discussion, but NVidia and AMD were clearly able to influence the specs because the API had to be rationalized around real, existing, and upcoming hardware designs in the pipeline.

You have a habit to attributing negative and conspiratorial agendas to everything.

So, ultimately it's still the user who pays. But he pays relatively more, because now there is less competition (leveraging the network/access to acquire and retain users).

I would suggest you stay away from describing your business practices as "manipulation", though. Almost all connotations of that word in psychology, law, and business imply deceit.

I don't understand what EU's problem is. If they don't like google and android please ask your tech graduates to create their own.

The EU is an funny organization. they are not democratically elected. Their policies is the reason half of EU is bankrupt. The EU should be fined for bankrupting entire generations of young people in Greece and promoting the largest transfer of wealth from poor European nations to rich European nations.

Even assuming Google did participate in behaviour that is anti-competitive that market that google dominates was created by google !

I like china's approach to this where they forced their countrymen to create powerful competitor to google. The emphasis should be promotion of wealth creation and not redistribution. Why doesn't Europe have its own homegrown search giant ? An EU company would clearly have massive advantage due to the language barrier. The EU should be paying people to create companies to compete with google. Or atleast make it a priority to do so. What happens when google refuses to pay the fine and starts backtracing or treating the EU market as "not worth it", has the EU though about how it will effect consumers ?

I'm glad we're getting a better understanding of how much these variables contribute toward longevity and well-being. Now we just have to come up with a plan to deal with the challenges of people living far longer.

I don't know if I'm alone in noticing this, but there appears to be a larger divide in society along these lines opening up. More people seem to be exercising than ever - almost every guy I know has a gym membership, is taking part in a sport, or goes hiking, or whatever - where previously the same people may have been thin/healthy but sedentary.

On the other side of things, it appears that more people seem to be simply getting more fat and more sedentary. Where once there was thin/average and sedentary | mildly overweight and sedentary, it seems to be dividing to thin/average and pretty active | very fat and very sedentary.

That is all from personal observations, but it will be interesting to see the physical composition of society in 5-10 years time. What was once overweight has simply become normal, what was "fat" has now become huge and what was once a healthy weight has become the new thin.

There are all manner of work place environmental factors that are very big deals to some people that are not obvious big deals to others.

For instance, sick child care disproportionally falls on women. So more women (of course not all women) view flexible hours, flexible sick time and flexible work from home options as major benefits. In many instances providing those things is a net improvement for everyone (including the business productivity) but it isn't as obvious in cases that don't experience the problem (like places that don't have as many parents generally or women specifically).

I suppose improving this environmental factor can be viewed as a PR move (which frequently has a pejorative tone, but I assume you are not applying that) but it also can have intrinsic benefits even if it never causes someone to think differently about the company.
> Even BP didn't get that big of a fine when they polluted half of the Atlantic Ocean.

The fines broke big long after BP's fine. BNP Paribas was fined a staggering $9bn just last year. The fine was selected as the limit of 10% of the annual revenue in the previous year.

If you want to know why there are so few women in tech, I suggest reading this comic: http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?db=comics&id=1883#comic

The pressure doesn't come from within the industry, nor is it aimed at adults who have already expressed an interest. It comes from society as a whole, and it's aimed at children.

At first, it comes from parents and teachers. Later on, it comes from their peers. By the time a girl graduates high school and starts figuring out what she wants in life, she's already biased against tech. Attempts at recruitment aren't going to significantly affect the gender ratio if they're aimed at college students or college graduates. It's already too late. Politically-biased hackathons and hiring policies will never have any real effect, except maybe to breed resentment on every side of the issue.

Hey, I'm going to share some personal experience. I'm MtF transgender, and I began my transition at 28. It's pretty well known, at least in the trans community, that MtFs are overrepresented in tech, and that overrepresentation increases proportionally with the age of transition (though the age thing is becoming less relevant as the average age of transitioning is dropping, and the sharp contrast between "older transitioners" and "younger transitioners" is starting to blur). On the other hand, the ratio of MtFs to FtMs in the tech industry is about the same as the ratio of cis men to cis women (and possibly even more dramatic).

The only possible answer is that people are encouraged/discouraged from tech during childhood, well before transition. It's also accelerated by how the tech community tends to be open and accepting of people who don't fit in socially. Most trans people -- MtF and FtM -- tend to associate with groups of misfits and outcasts even well before transition. For MtFs, that includes tech geeks, and for FtMs, that includes various fandoms. Compare the MtF dominance on reddit vs. the FtM dominance on tumblr: reddit was aimed at techies, and tumblr was aimed at fandoms.

You're solving a problem for people so start by thinking about what kind of person has this problem - are they in a specific job or industry, are there subreddits that overlap those people, maybe you can use facebook and google ads to hook them, or twitter to reach them directly.
