> the only way to correct that is to hire a greater share of them

This is affirmative action, which has the following problem: How do it eventually end? This is especially true when the desired quota is impossible (It may or may not be in the case of gender rep in STEM). In the real world, affirmative action policies never end due to social/political pressure, and eventually just inflict the converse problem.

Affirmative action is not the only way to correct imbalances (it may not even do that). The better way, at least in my view, is to correct the cause(s) of the imbalance, then wait. Of course if there's no discernible correctable cause, then the imbalance is clearly natural, and should not be disturbed. This may be slower, but its stable and infallible.
Single Page Applications are great ;)

Thanks for this positive feedback too. About your issue with your images, have you test your website from the nearest test location from your hosting provider? (latency can hurt)
Ya, it's a long story but we never intended to compete with Medium. We are now, kind of. This product was created accidently.
Feedback for @damienj:
* Your Terms & Conditions link is a PDF that downloads vs displays inline. That's super weird, and I thought I got a report without signing up. Nope, it's your ToS.

* The paginated loading of HTML/CSS validation does strange things with the loading bar. I was trying to drag it to the bottom, and it kept moving itself upward as it loaded new pieces. Doing the deferred loading is cool, but it would be better to kick it off async and have it run to completion, versus waiting for scroll-per-page.

* In the downloaded report, there's no indication of what the grey circles are (average top-1000 result).

* Detected Technologies is odd, it only lists comScore for the site I tested - should that include Google Analytics, Facebook Graph, etc.?

* The Table of Contents isn't clickable to get to the related sections.

* The color-coding of sections doesn't mesh mentally with the counts presented. I have something in green (Success) with 7 tips, and something else in red (Issues) with 7 tips as well. Is that good or bad?

* I didn't check the "short" report option, but I'd like to see just things-to-fix in its own report, with details of how to fix them. As-is I have a 35-page report with no clear indication of what the biggest problems are, just the biggest per-category. I realize the webpage already does that, but unless I'm the sole developer I would want to send a hit list out to my team as a PDF.

* Your own page is only 99 out of 100 =)

All of that aside, this looks really useful. It's like a prettier version of http://www.webpagetest.org/ - a lot of the same info, but a much better / more modern presentation. A good pricing hook might be a free (scheduled) report once a month, with the top-level warnings included but a paid option for the full detail.

Good luck, and congrats on "SHIP IT"!

Part of ownership is, in fact, the ability to not use it, if you so desire.
You have that backwards. Gherkin is a spec language for writing tests, Cucumber is a library for Ruby and Java that interprets Gherkin specifications.
The unspoken corollary is that many if not most politicians, like attorneys conducting a voir dire, actually depend on their constituents having an unwarranted faith in their comprehension of complex topics, and use their rhetoric to manipulate voters accordingly. (This is, to anyone who actually watches the news, an obvious statement.)

Voters with a competent understanding of issues (which sometimes just means understanding that some topics are too complex for a layman to fully grasp) have a large number of inflection points that have to be considered when stumping for votes; voters in the thrall of superficial and ideologically-driven simplifications of issues are relatively easier to manipulate, because they have fewer levers for a politician to pull. (There's a reason party committees love running Three Minute Hates against the ideological enemy of the moment: the easiest lever of all is to whip up a frenzy against an Obama, Cruz, Pelosi, Palin, etc. No policy arguments needed!)

The open question is, how long can a republic last that depends on ignorant (not stupid!) voters electing competent politicians? The recent influx of (I would argue) actively incompetent politicians (or, worse yet, competent politicians who support policies they know to be incompetent), many drawn from fringe voter movements, suggests we may discover sooner rather than later how such a system ends.
That's the AGPL, mind you. One of the most ridiculous and restrictive "open-source" licenses created; it's not really intended to be applied to libraries, and is incompatible with every other license in existence, including even the standard GPL. Applying it to a library makes the open-source version effectively unusable.

So to the person who is currently making $75k and watching their coworker getting a $30k raise does what, exactly? Suddenly that person is worth 66% more, so what about everyone else? Come salary review time, I'd be asking for a huge raise, because clearly the company has the cash to throw around, and if they're handing out 50+% raises, my value must have also increased.
What about something unexpected like superconducting transmission lines between temporal energy producing / consuming zones?
> Nuclear plants take years to build and have shitty failure scenarios

That's only because we won't build any newer designs that don't have shitty failure modes and insist that we keep old reactors with very shitty failure modes online, though.
It's a good question... The biggest reason is that the Mozilla platform is significantly more editable and open than Chromium, which was needed because much of the tab functionality was altered to allow it to work. Second, this browser began development over 3 years ago, before Blink was released.

It's interesting to ask this company, which I didn't get in the article - was this intended to be a minimum wage or common wage? The CEO was getting it too. The ramifications of each are quite different.
If the MITM is unable to forge a signature that passes validation, and the browser/whatever complains that the signature is invalid, then the game is not over.
It's a horrible middle-ground. Google definitely dropped the ball with alerting users of a possible breach. If there's strong evidence a plugin was capturing and using credentials I need to know to change credentials.
In my limited experience [1 windmill that i am currently working on] the biggest issue we are facing is lightning strike. The windmill is located on a small island .6 miles off of the coast of Maine. the structure rises 20+ feet over the tops of the trees. The Seawind is pretty consistent so wind seemed like a good idea, but the first strike fried the innards of the turbine and compromised the lines running to the battery array [the system uses a ruggedized Ranger power management computer to charge the batteries (28 inline 1.5 amp boat batteries) from either the windmill or the diesel generator]. I know very little about all of this, but it has been left to me to get it working. The system only has to power 110v outlets [30+], a water pumping system [well pump + distro pump], and a washer and dryer. As it stands we run the Genny for ~6 hours then use the batteries for ~18 hours. The island is only inhabited for ~2 months all year, but it is still expensive and dirty. The Island is conifers rooted in primeval moss on top of pink granite. there is little to no dirt, and i have limited access to TNT and my biggest rock drill bit only goes down 2 feet, so the grounding system (which i think is where the fault in the system is) is my biggest concern. As of now, i am going to attempt to use a surface, chemical grounding system, but, again, i don't really know what i am doing so it is pin the tail on the donkey with my hands tied behind my back. If anyone has experience with windmills and/or grounding i could desperately use some advice...
It makes sense to have the base load be something that is easily dispatchable and reliable. Renewables are an option in the short term, however the holy frail is nuclear fusion, which is clean, reliable and relatively cheap (building the infrastructure). In the short term, it actually only makes sense to replace generation that becomes retired with renewables because of the carbon costs associated with building new infrastructure. It makes sense that an inefficient natural gas plant that runs a couple of times a year at extreme peaks, will have a smaller carbon footprint than building new infrastructure.
It's sad to see so many applications use SHA1/SHA256 when they really need to be using HMAC-SHA1/HMAC-SHA256.

Base-load nuclear is the opposite of dispatchable. Dispatchable means you can turn it on and off at will. It takes a long time to shut down a nuclear plant and start it back up again (on the order of days not minutes). By contrast, natural gas plants can be highly dispatchable hence their use as operating reserve in many ISOs.

Electrical Engineering student – When do I learn how to make stuff people want?
I feel like I don't have much of a grip on how to design hardware and it's sad how little I know about programming, but I absolutely love entrepreneurship and creation.

Also not sure if my year round school/co-op program leads me to not have much free time to learn programming.

Can anyone lend me some sage-like advice to help me move forward on my path to learn how to make stuff people want?

A serious question: Can someone explain to me why this is an issue?

Facebook chats are stored on the servers of a company that I have no control over, that is not funded by me, and that has repeatedly demonstrated a commitment to getting people to reveal things about themselves.

And meanwhile the U.S. government is listening to our phone calls.

Are Facebook chats read by the U.S. government? Of course they are -- even if the claims in this article are completely false.

So, again, why is this an issue?
yes we know thanks. Not an issue for us as registering is free. The idea is just to get you to create an account and to try our monitoring feature!

a week paid vacation the first year is mandated by law, I have employees with 3 weeks paid vacations a year.

Paid vacations are paid with something called "prima vacacional" basically you earn 25% more the week you are on vacations.

On december there is another bonus called "aguinaldo" paid by law. Basically I pay three weeks of wage because christmas.

All my employees have full health care benefits, and access to Infonavit. Infonavit is a housing government dependency (housing loans)

All of my employees have house, full health care benefits, car, and free university for their sons.

Very few people can say that on the US. So basically I believe we are better than the US.

It's playing catch-up, and it's severely hampered by its refusal to break backwards compatibility for anything. I did a PHP contract last year after not having done PHP in years. I had genuinely high hopes for it because of having seen sentiments like yours. And Symfony is a pretty okay framework (but not great), Composer is decent, and HHVM is a pretty fast VM. But the language itself has fundamentally not changed at all -- it's still flawed in deep ways, while the developers seem mainly preoccupied with adding as many features from Java as they can. In 2015, I see someone defending PHP and I think they simply don't know any other language.
You are assuming that your client OS/browser DNS resolvers have the pre-shared trust anchors for whichever root zone. That's kind of a big assumption. :)

Without those, everything collapses, and even if they're there, you still might be in very real trouble and not even know it.

Scenario 1: best of all worlds: you're running an awesome mythical OS (edit: or browser plugin as jocluteseh mentioned below) with up to date root keys and you're trying to get to a single zone and you know the root zone key... but the DNSSEC root key was compromised. No one knew this, because there's no way to detect. Your MITM attacker just forges everything. But you feel secure, since you have DNSSEC. ;)

Scenario 2: you're running some really new fancy OS with a pre-shared DNSSEC root key and you make a query for DNSSEC for a zone that you don't have a key for. The recursor simply tells you that that zone doesn't have DNSSEC records. oops.

Scenario 3: you're running a current OS without any root zone anchors at all. You make a query to your preferred recursive DNS server (probably whatever you were handed via DHCP) and it just lies to you, about everything.

I don't understand your point about probabilities. In each of these scenarios, they're not a 1 in anything chance of getting owned in those circumstances.. that's a 1 in 1 chance. All it took was a MITM. To say nothing of the traffic analysis and complete lack of any sort of encryption for passive MITM's.
...and the illusion of understanding is sadly supported by politicians who mischaracterize complex issues in order to activate partisan support. As we are bombarded with more and more information over the internet, and the competition for attention seems to outpace the quality of filtering and analytical tools as far as the general public is concerned, I worry that this problem will only get worse.

Personally speaking, I end up feeling very politically marginalized because political group dynamics tend to value consistency over diversity, so if (for example) you're generally conservative but support the idea of socialized medicine, or generally liberal but not supportive of teachers' unions, then the more partisan the political environment you are in the more likely you are to be treated as a heretic. So in the US we see primary contests within the parties wherein candidates are subjected to punishing ideological 'purity tests', to the point that the primary season has increasingly come to look like an internal struggle to see which version of the two main parties will get to compete in the general election. While it appears that Hillary Clinton may have a pretty smooth path to the nomination on the Democratic side this time (to the dismay of the ideological left), over in the GOP the competition for the nomination increasingly looks like internecine warfare between wealthy paternalism and eschatonic populism.
> First, ciphertext is ciphertext. They'd probably be able to determine it's a block cipher and what the block size is, but that's about it. They're not going to be able to tell AES ciphertext from 3DES ciphertext if they're both set to use the same block size. There's no point "obscuring" the fact that you're using AES.

If you can break a set of ciphers it's trivial to determine which was used for a connection, if one was used; You just try each.

The whole point is to hide which is the real cipher to make it more costly to attack you. Making it more costly for the attacker is what we want.

> Second, (...)

This is no argument for or against the scheme I presented.

> Even quantum algorithms are only able to halve the bits of the key search space (so 2^256 will become 2^128, which is still mostly infeasible even against a government adversary).

Breaking a cipher means to not have to search all the key space. That's the definition of a broken cipher.

> I don't think your suggestion would decrease security, if implemented perfectly (which is unlikely), even if the cipher is insecure and vulnerable to cryptanalysis. But I don't think it would increase security either. And since it wouldn't increase it, yet may decrease it in practice due to an implementation flaw which compromises both ciphers, why bother?

We disagree on the practicality of implementing it without adding another vulnerability to your system.
If you actually met her, it's probably not the perceived coolness but rather sexual attraction for the opposite sex. Because so few females are actually hackers and your interests are a very close match to hers, that "coolness" is perceived and she becomes more interesting because she offers what you would call a more valuable match.

You might meet a technically more skilled hacker but yet she would have the advantage for being of the opposite sex.
Actually; cheap storage makes the argument for nuclear energy even better. Nuclear is very bad at responding to demand because it can take weeks or months to restart a nuclear reactor.

Under any scenario, you're going to need some kind of power grid. That grid is going to have a non-zero "base" load as batteries charge, etc. Nuclear is perfect for generating this base load - it's reliable, clean and not subject to the variability that solar and wind are. Don't get me wrong, solar and wind are going to be a big part of the grid, but you want diversification of technology so that if you have a cloudy, but not very windy day, the grid can still keep up.

Also, fission reactors are being miniaturized, and at the timescale we're talking about, fusion may be an option as well. I don't think nuclear will be 50% of energy generation or anything, but it's a good, reliable technology that can supply a consistent amount of energy in any weather conditions.

I did not intended to address the people with opposing views - I meant to addressed the arguments and tried to do so. I believe in respecting all opinions, the article is very interesting and the discussion spinning around it is a sign of its relevance.

There are contradictions in the prediction (even if it becomes true or not in the future)

* Why would a factory, built upon a big number of low-skilled workers, would need a big number of creative-skilled workers ?? Why would the factory pay the extensive formation necessary to transform "low-skilled" into "high-skilled" workers ?? Would they all become proeficient new professionals, or possess the necessary educative background and personal vocation to become skilled workers in a different career path ?? What would they do in their new role ??

It seems a contradiction, and contains the illusion that there will be better jobs for all the workers, when there is a serious and (most) probable risk of ending up with the opposite effect: a new wave of unemployment.

With that clear, I do hope your prediction becomes true and all jobs do become better. I just have a have a hard time imagining the world going down that path.

If you read the article, you'll note that they don't actually have the cash for this. The CEO is taking a massive paycut to make it happen.

That being said, that kind of logic demonstrates an incredible lack of caring for the people who are benefiting from this. I presume you make more than $70k a year, and you fail to understand what it's like to live on less than $48k, as half of his employees do, in a city like Seattle. Making sure his employees are well paid makes a huge difference in their lives in a way increasing someone's salary from 75k to 95k just doesn't.
It's kind of annoying and hypocritical when you give my website the accessibility suggestion that you shouldn't use target="_blank" when the page I am on is riddled with links opening in new tabs. I dunno I don't see that as getting a 0/100 for having 20 when your results page has 56 of them.
Earthships: Living off the grid
It stands out to me that pumped storage only gets a passing mention. We've had that as a proven energy storage technology for decades. People in the industry love to talk about it and file FERC applications for preliminary permits on the same sites over and over (I would know, I've had to read nearly all of them over the last year at work), but it's never deployed at the scale people expected.

It'll be interesting to see if if PSH ever really takes off, or if it really does get left in the dust by batteries and other things.
The only person who can know whether the domain is "used" for an actual web site, is the owner of the domain.

The reason why, is because you have to define what "used" means.

Only the owner of the domain can set up a public DNS entry for that domain. But he can also set up a private DNS entry for that domain, or a public DNS entry with a private IP address.

For example, lassell.lan.informatimago.com is a public DNS entry, with a private IP address. Can you know whether there's an actual website on this domain?

Then of course, you would have to know what an actual web site is!
Is http://hubble.informatimago.com:8117 an actual website?
