Sounds like a business opportunity. Have a site that rates investors. And of course, as part of the rating, include which ones hit on the females asking for funding.

Well, maybe it wouldn't be such a good business as it would likely get sued out of existence fairly quickly.

Another tack may be to send letters the wives of said investors. :)

Seriously though, as a man, I find it very disturbing that there are men who simply cannot conduct themselves respectfully in front of a woman.
Because they don't have a choice, so they don't expect anything else. Only the technical folks know how and where to buy a clean computer. Hell, the first computer the younger generation bought themselves was most likely already loaded with a ton of such crap, and that sets the baseline of their expectations.
"Sometimes I wish that I was like an air-cooled Porsche mechanic"

I read the same and interpreted it somewhat different. Although your take was correct on its parallel path.

Web designers and SaaS architects ONLY design to impress other web designers and SaaS architects yet never eat their own dog food and don't care about the users. Its widely believed by non google employees that nobody ever got a job at Google (or whatever their personal definition of "win" is) by putting something into their portfolio that is simple, maintainable, easy to use, straightforward, clear, that they'd use themselves or the end users would like. This is a MAJOR systemic cultural malfunction in the business. Sooner or later some MBA will "discover" this and write a famous book about how shortsighted the internet techies were in the second or so decade of the widespread public internet. I bet it'll be titled "the era of internet tail fins" or something. Basically we're building 70s American muscle cars... we can impress each other, but they fall apart in two years if that and the public hates them.

The car analogy would be a bunch of mechanics standing around trying to impress each other "Yeah man I had one of those cars that needed the engine to be pulled from the car just to get access to replace the rearmost spark plugs" "Oh thats nothing, I had to do over 50 labor hours to replace the heater core, practically had to disassemble the entire car to fix that coolant leak" "well I don't have as impressive of a story but I worked on a car once that could only have its oil changed on a hyd lift with the passenger front wheel removed, impossible to do it otherwise". Now the mechanics are VERY impressed with the quantity and quality of work they had to do to accomplish what are fundamentally, normally, very simple tasks, and they're very impressed with the engineers that created those systems that guarantee them such amazing labor hours of wonderment. It must have taken petacycles of CAD/CAM work to make something that messed up that none the less technically kinda somehow works. HOWEVER, and this is critical, the general public just sees a lemon of an overpriced hard to fix car, and just wants a simple reliable toyota commuter car (which the mechanics mercilessly make fun of and insist no one wants despite actual sales figures). "So what, because teenagers, a group widely renowned for good taste and excellent judgment (LOL), love our products"

I wonder how the "life" this machine creates is regulated. In Eric K. Drexler's book "Engines of Creation", he warns that the rise of self-assembly and nanotechnology needs to be carefully controlled so that we don't end up disassembling the whole world into "gray goo". It seems to me that a shotgun approach to evolving organisms could be as dangerous.
Scroll down a little and see a link to two Egyptian asylum-seekers sent back to torture and prison, without due process.

The UK has extradited multiple people to the US. Your narrative is incorrect.

Speaking of incorrect narrative, how about you report on how many of those were political in nature (yes, some were), rather than simply assuming all extraditions are innately unjust? Extradition in itself isn't immoral - people do still commit crimes, and you shouldn't get away with literal murder just by hopping a border.
You have to change all trucks to accomodate such a street. Firefighters, paramedics, even some cops have cars/trucks that are too wide to fit those streets. There is a huge difference in size between european and american fire trucks. Paramedics and some firefighters in europe use something like a Sprinter or Transit, both of which are narrower and smaller than their american counter part.
If you had developed your photos 10 years ago using analogic methods, your negatives are still usable, and your positive (if they were not too exposed to the sun thus conserved normally) would still be there.
Whereas if you already had a digital camera, the raw are either lost because the media has decayed, you forgot backup, or worse to index your database.
Your positive have all turned yellow unless you spent 10 times more in ink and paper per photo.

In 10 years you probably will have migrated these photo to the cloud and you will both have to pay a recurring costs for life to keep your data (that will die with you), or the photo will die with the service.

In 20 years, you will be more likely to find the old documents made on papers by your ancestors than any of your digital productions to your grand kids. And if you still have them entropy will win. You will not be able to find the relevant piece of data.

Analogic photo is the only long term low cost solution for now.
Alternately, don't do this. Survive 80+ hours a week by not working 80+ hours a week.
Not mentioned in the article, but I think "be under 30" and possibly "be under 25" is a prerequisite.
There's tons of problems with Google's services. They make radical changes that bloat them and slow them down. They cut services that people find useful because they're not as big as something like Maps or Gmail, or even for no reason at all. But no matter how much you complain, either on a blog post or to Google themselves, if you just come back to them at the end of the day you've changed nothing at all.

Not liking Google Photos? Get Dropbox on your phone and upload your pictures there! Blogger doesn't give you enough control? Use Wordpress or Medium instead, or run your own blog! Google has too many users on their services to care about you. If you want change, go out and make the change yourself.
Out of interest, do you base this on external observation or any first-hand experience working with A16Z?
So you only sleep 5 to 6 hours each night, and program 80+ hours a week? You probably think you are maximizing your productivity, but actually you aren't. You are losing obvious creative solutions and spend a lot of time fixing stupid things you broke.

You are working in an unsustainable way, both mentally and physically.

Do you have a fellow programmer in the same code base who does normal hours? If so, what does he think about your code and delivery rate? If not, let someone else (and smart) look at your code and productivity, and get some objective feedback on it.
I seriously believe that you have the wrong attitude here. You should be looking to reduce the amount of hours and instead focus on decent, solid and productive hours.

There is no way you can be at 100% after 11 months of 80 hour weeks.
Show HN: Easy Website localization – Edit text, images and CSS with 1 click
I started scrambling for sources but found that you are correct. From what I could find, There aren't detailed historical records of sexual harassment in Silicon Valley. I found a few vague leads through Google Scholar, but nothing too relevant. I think you'd agree that my point is applicable for working women in general, but empirical evidence becomes much more sparse for a relatively new industry such as software.

I'll leave my statement as-is, but I'm sorry to disappoint and to have spoken so reactively and groundlessly.

Marc, you grow an excellent beard.
I think that the parent is actually referring to design time.

I find as I grow older that I program in short bursts. I spend quite a bit of time thinking about what I want to do. I scribble a couple of diagrams on paper to make sure that the image I have in my head is complete and once I'm sure of what I want to do and why, only then, I start typing.

Usually, those first scribbles end up being my test cases.

As for the original article, if I had to use as much gear as he does just to get by, I would really rethink my life.
Does this actually work for you with a recent Android phone?

On my Moto G, this is more like: connect USB cable, wait 2 minutes while the computer is mounting the MTP. See it fail. Unconnect cable, reconnect. Forgot to unlock screen on the phone. Unconnect cable, reconnect. Wait another 2 minutes. The drive mounts now. Select photos. Copy. Paste to hard drive. Wait 10 minutes while the computer is copying the files. See it fail with a cryptic error.

Utterly useless. From what I hear, this is a normal experience since Android switched from using USB mass storage to MTP.
Yes, it's a strong sign that you're chronically over tired, but it's not proof. I also fall asleep in less than 10 minutes. I "learned" this skill during a time period when I was chronically over tired, though. Any sort of stimulant use (caffeine, late night sunshine, et cetera) disrupts it.
I used https://www.airdroid.com/ for that; it gives you reasonable, LAN-speed downloads.
It was a big deal when the illegal kidnapping and black bagging of political asylum seekers (your "extradition of suspected terrorists") was first revealed in Sweden, but that didn't stop the CIA from continuing to operate extradition flights through Swedish airports for years.
You can't blame the (quite old) phone for being difficult when one of the main interfaces is broken. And there are many apps that let you explore your phone via wifi instead of using Kies. Just searching "wifi file transfer" or "wifi file manager" gives you plenty of hits.

SQL Server 2016: JSON Support
Not quite the same thing, but I know of a company in my local town that hires only women. They'll contract out to men when they absolutely must (me, for example), but I shit you not, the owner was female, all of the engineers were female, every single person on the assembly line was female. There was literally 2 males involved in that entire company. Me, as a contract software developer, and another guy as a contract IT person.

That was it. Top to bottom that entire company was female, if I had to guess they had 20-30 employees, but of course I never saw all of them so it's just a guess.

I would give pretty good odds that you couldn't.

Good json/XML parsers (you did pick a good one, right?) are usually heavily optimized in ways you wouldn't even think of and cover more edge cases than you can imagine because heavy usage in production has picked them up.

I thought they sourced their map data in parts from OSM, and there is/was(?) a OSM map layer in Bing.

Even more important than the server resources probably is licensing the image data.
On a Nexus 5, sure, it works. Both Mac and PC. Sister's Moto G, same thing.

Once on my Nexus 5 i got an error about copying a folder with lots of contents (some kind of backup i did i think). It forced me to archive it via a file manager on the phone and then transfer that instead. Only happened once though, and on Mac, which needs a standalone app to communicate with the device.
Those stupid Xcode updates are bigger than the OS updates, 5-6GB in size. At this point I'm thinking their infrastructure team is simply incompetent - downloads slow to a crawl, no incremental updates, and if the install fails sometimes it's back to zero.
Just want to clear up a few things, since this is getting more attention that I thought it would.

1) I am not saying you should do this. I code this much because I'm a co-founder of a pre-funding startup and am working hard to get my company off the ground, and because I enjoy coding.
2) Programming 80+ hours a week is absolutely insane. I'm not saying I'm anything special because I do it or that people who do it are anything less. I'm just another SV entrepreneur working hard to turn an idea into a company.
3) I wrote this post for other founders like me who are in worse shape than I in hopes that some of the things in here might help them.

I don't think is ignorance, but I think is mostly a lack in a better solution to compare with. I mean, if you have something that works great (in any field, not just tech), you take it as yardstick. If you don't have a real super-nice-outstanding solution to compare with, you will be always ok with what's coming, even if it's the worst implementation ever made.

I agree with 90% of the points in the article, but I also know that others have implemented similar solutions and only fews have, instead, tackled the same problems with a different, better implemented, solutions.

Anyway, the most annoying example is Skype, I really hate the "oh it looks like is a Live Account, redirecting..." flow, it's annoying.
That's a fallacy if I've ever seen one.

Documented sexual harassment is not the same claim that was being made above, specifically, that men will do things like forgo investing at an investment event purely because the woman is attractive.

And honestly, not even common sense bears that out, you would expect the man to invest unnecessarily in an effort to gain her attention.
Well, I guess the point is I don't know! :-D
I'm only thinking and commenting from the standpoint of efficiently explaining evolution, because parent's video disappointed me. Maybe "in depth" is indeed not an option in a short video.

I like @lotsofmangos 's explanation, it strongly shows that we're bound to have some evolution.
But ideally we'd also want a simple conjecture that would predict what kind of evolution at what velocity within what range we're bound to have. And then present how what we know about the past fits into that.

Been working on this localization startup after dealing with countless requests to translate websites for my freelance customers, it was always a tedious, complicated, expensive task that both myself and my customers hated.

Bablic was born.

Bablic lets you EASILY localize a website. Choose from machine translation or professional human translation right from our editor.

The cool thing about Bablic is it lets you manually edit components in real-time and see how it looks like on your site, in our editor.

You can manually edit text, replace images and best of all, edit CSS/style in order to make sure the look and feel of your website stays consistent in each and every language you choose to offer.

For example, some words in French are longer than in English and usually, with other companies, translating into French could break your website's layout due to that. With Bablic you can easily make a specific font smaller or adjust padding for the French language and have it fit just perfectly.

I'd appreciate if you guys can give it a try, it's right on our homepage, all you need to do is submit your URL and get instant access to the editor to start translating and playing with our tool.

Would love to hear some feedback from the community.

Thanks in advance!

This is very interesting. It would certainly helps with housing costs if the city was more dense. Denser cities can also be more ecological (less travel needed, less cost for heating etc.) and it's not sustainable to have everyone live in suburbs.

However, I think it makes two subjective assumptions:

- Empty space is useless. "Useless greenery (not a park, but landscaping where nobody goes), Areas around buildings which are not “destinations,” and often have no real purpose". As in web design, I think that empty space is important. It allows a city and its inhabitant to breathe. It gives buffer space to avoid living with your neighbors (eg. seeing, hearing everything that happens in their apartment). It reduces noise reverberation.

- Narrower streets are nicer. Granted, the pictures there look good. I have lived in the US for a while and I'm now in Paris, France. I can tell you that if narrower streets can be cute, they also let less light go in the building, and can be stressful when too crowded. Also I don't think that SF is a good example of a city that doesn't look good. A lot of Europeans would want to live there because it looks amazing.
I'm tempted to say, take acting lessons and hire good screenwriters.

Less flippantly: start by knowing what you have to say. Eliminate the trivia in favor of the main points. Come back to the main points more than once.

The tube train buttons do, in fact, work - but they only activate when the train is at an outdoors station and the driver has enabled them.

The London Overground functions exactly like this.

In addition in a previous life of actually programming pedestrian crossing systems, the button does in fact have an effect (or did). It sets a flag on the system which is checked after a predetermined set of time to see if the lights should stop traffic. Its all highly dependent on the road system, however.
I've been creating software now for almost 25 years and I find that the amount I type has definitely decreased over that time.

I know that HN cuts off long links, but if you bothered to click through, you'd know that my link was actually about two people, not one. And it was carried out by US and Egyptian staff, with the Swedish allowing them to do it. Deportation of illegal immigrants is not normally handled by a two-nation team of agents, one of those being neither the host nor originating nation.

That would all have to happen through legal means

Again, if you read my link, you'd see that for the two men involved, Sweden ignored it's legal process.

If you're going to debunk a link, it helps to read it first.

> Now provide us with a rational answer as to why those same Swedish authorities let him walk around freely and even leave the country after tipping him off about the allegations if their primary motivation was a one-way ticket to the USA?

Regardless whether or not the motivation is a one-way ticket to the USA, the answer to why they let him walk around freely and leave the country is simple:

It was not the same people.

The current prosecutor intervened in highly unusual manner after the previous prosecutor had indicated there clearly was no crime.

Whether or not that is because of US involvement or, say, her own personal political point-scoring is another matter, but to present it as if it was the "same people" driving the decision to free him initially and the decision to pursue him afterwards is misleading at best.
While not particularly original, I would place this under 'thoughtfulness' / 'thoughtfully'. Code thoughtfully, but don't dive into premature optimization.
