The requirements reassure the public that the person cutting hair isn't an idiot who's just bought some cheap clippers. They've cut hair - hundreds of hours worth of hair cutting - and they know how to sterilize the equipment. And if you're going to have chemical hair treatments you're not going to be maimed by someone who doesn't know how to use the chemicals.

I agree that 1,500 hours does sound a bit long though.
Here comes all the kids with rotten teeth and measles.
It's hard to imagine how so much money has been wasted developing such a mediocre aircraft. I'm not usually a conspiracy theorist, but maybe the F-35 does not exist, and all the money has actually been well spent on amazingly stealthy next-generation supersonic drone fleets which nobody has been able to see?!
It's not meaningless at all. It directly refutes the constant argument that "women don't do engineering because they aren't interested in it".
Only in the sense that its missing all the features. People seem to forget when considering current browsers "bloated" that the bloat comes from the webpages containing all the cruft.
Even tech-savvy users (read: me) sometimes get bitten by that. I wonder if it would make sense to auto-disable iMessage when a phone's SIM is removed? The problem probably isn't even on the radar, though (iPhone users never switch!).

Also, focusing on one section, here are some interesting stats:

Job Stats
2014
http://www.bls.gov/cps/cpsaat11.htm total women
Preschool and kindergarten teachers 664 K 97.2%
Elementary and middle school teachers 3,102 K 80.9%

In 2007, about a third of public middle school science teachers either did not major in the subject in college and/or are not certified to teach it.

36 percent of public middle school math teachers in 2007 either did not major in the 1 subject in college and/or are not certified to teach it.

http://www.nsf.gov/statistics/seind12/c1/tt01-08.htm

I still contend that those statistics combine to hinder young girls from desiring a career in STEM. If the teachers don't value the field enough to major in it when they will be teaching it, you are getting some strange signals. They also don't get the influence of male teachers and a demonstration of men and women working together. Shoot for 50 / 50 teacher ratios and push STEM degrees in teaching and the mix in STEM will even out. Its a little late in the children forming a self identity to try to fix it later in life.
Sure, but those are the requirements for barbers, not people who cut / style women's hair.
Put a gun to the persons head (or because the self preservation instinct in them might not be strong in them, a loved one), say "Don't smoke or I pull the trigger". Magically addicts regain the ability to choose.

Addiction might make it uncomfortable if you choose to stop using a substance but it doesn't use the substance for you. All action excepting reflexes are a choice.
While you're right that smoking (after addiction) isn't so much a choice, I think the gist of GP's point is that smokers should go out of their way to not inconvenience others.

Where to start?

First, to your (horribly sexist) implication that women opt out of the workforce by studying "Gender or Women's Studies": it isn't even in the top 10 majors for women. You know what the #1 major for women is? Business. http://www.forbes.com/2010/03/02/top-10-college-majors-women...

Biology, math, and physics are all also popular majors for women: http://www.npr.org/sections/money/2014/10/28/359419934/who-s...

Calling out "previous work experience" is similarly just so much BS. If women are excluded through systematic bias in hiring (hint: they are!) then they literally can't earn that experience. Furthermore there's a compounded effect, as fewer and fewer women make it up through each tier of the hiring/promotion filter.

Even the article you cited calls out gender disparities in academia. While only 22% of CS PhDs were given to women, they made up an even more minuscule 14% of CS faculty.

tl;dr: the system is rigged and women don't get a fair shake. Stop victim-blaming.

Indeed, thinking client side, split screen for uploading video and deck with a notes/goal box underneath (things like Target audience, group demographics, expected venue).

On the backside have a review interface with video front and sent and controls underneath, like "Add Note" which pauses the video and enters the time stamp and note into a formatted list, once review is marked completed it transfers that list into the feedback part which also has a notes section for things like body language and such.

Once complete email the user with a link to the review page that has the video and the timeline underneath, make the timeline clickable so the user can jump straight to each note and either accept or decline the review (that way you have a metric of what criticism people respond to positively and negatively).

Handling the deck is more of an issue, powerpoint isn't a problem but you will get all sorts of whacky formats (people using Beamer, javascript based stuff), You can generally get those out in PDF format in one form or another though so maybe accept PDF and Powerpoint (or in the case of the javascript based ones perhaps a zip file for techie audience).

I wonder what you could charge that out at, reviewing a 45 minute talk and slides properly would probably take an hour/hour and half and also what kind of turn around people would want (possibly with increased pricing for a faster turn around).

EDIT: Thinking about it, you could actually have multiple reviewers in key demographics as well for more targeted talks with variable rates.

EDIT: You could also have multiple reviewers (extra charge) so that you can get a different perspective

Even if the growth curve for Spotify flattens for iPhone users in the U.S., you still have the entire Android market, and let's not forget that Spotify has an international customer base. To say that they are screwed is an awfully bold assertion.

Apple surely has a lot going for it, but let's not forget that Spotify has a partnership with Uber and is a very innovative company in it's own right. Apple Music just launched. Spotify has been around for 4+ years. Late to market entrants don't have a great track record of user acquisition.

I'm most attracted to job listings that emphasize the company's people over other concerns.

Sure, it's nice to hear about all your great technology, and how many users you have, and your latest huge funding rounds...but none of that will make me wanna get up in the morning. After a few months on the job the only thing that really matters to me is who I'm working with, not necessarily what I'm building. So, I look for job ads that focus on culture, core values, and team-member health. I like to see that the company is proud of (and values) their people as much as their stack. And I like to see team members who are active in the open source community, who attend meetups and such, and seem to have a nice work/life balance.

I try to picture myself there, and I figure: "If I take this gig, in a few months I'll likely be the average of the people who are already there". So if the existing team members seem happy and healthy, that's a good sign. If they seem overworked and depressed, I'm going to stay away.

My daughter is a cook, working toward maybe being a chef in the future - or some other mechanism for creating a satisfying career in food. When she got her first job as a full-time professional cook, it took days for others working there to figure out that she wasn't front-of-house, dealing with customers, but was actually there to cook.

Professional kitchens are "sausage fests". Part and parcel with this is kitchens filled with rampant sexism, female objectification, and basically an uncomfortable working environment for the women who dare work there. And unlike a big corporate job with real HR, making a stink about the hostile and sexist working conditions puts your job, even your career on the chopping block.
Ask HN: What is the current legal position on scraping?
I was looking around for a comprehensive refenence on the current legalities surrounding scraping. Not sure I have a complete image at this point. Perhaps HN'ers know of a definitive resource on this topic?

To be clear, I am talking about scraping data publicly available to anyone without having to log on to a website or become a member.

I just came across this article on the subject and found it interesting. Not sure how definitive or up to date it is (posted in 2013).

When it comes to job listings, I'm mostly interested in technology keywords that match either my whitelist (JavaScript, Node, Angular) or my Blacklist (Microsoft, Drupal, WordPress). This is the easiest way for me personally to determine if having an interview with a specific company is worth my time. Everything else I'll discover through either my pre-interview due diligence (researching company & leadership background) or conversations held during the interview process.

From what I've read, we've already identified the specific bacteria responsible for tooth decay [1], but there seems to have no interest in developing treatments based on that insight. Instead we're supposed to essentially sterilize our mouths and remineralize our teeth (which is something saliva does naturally) with topical fluoride twice a day.

My cat has never brushed her teeth, and they're fine, presumably because the microbiome in her mouth is in a state where bacteria that secrete lactic acid are crowded out by benign species. Granted, she doesn't eat many simple sugars, but I have had a vet recommend brushing her teeth twice a day as a preventative measure, which blew my mind.

I hope I live to see the day when the extent of oral hygiene maintenance and bad breath prevention is a toothpick and an occasional probiotic mouthwash or something.

> They are not a protected class, but that doesn't mean you have to go out of your way to screw them over.

They've gone out of their way to screw themselves over; I see no particular reason to accommodate them. (Obvious exception for people who really do pre-date the widespread knowledge that cigarettes are both addictive and harmful, but that's a decreasing subset of smokers.)

> In your example, they could just move the smoking area, couldn't they?

Off campus, preferably. If you can't go eight hours without your drug of choice (especially one that harms the people around you when you use it), perhaps you have a bigger problem than an intentional lack of accommodations at your workplace.
Scala's minor versions don't break compatibility. A year ago Scala 2.11 (major) was being released, which means you're talking about either 2.10.x or 2.11.x, neither of which broke binary compatibility between minor versions. And major versions usually have source level compatibility, our upgrade from 2.10 to 2.11 being pretty smooth.

The fundamental difference is that Clojure gets distributed as source and not as compiled .class files. Being an interpreted language that gets compiled on the fly does have some advantages. But it also has drawbacks. Startup performance suffers, the Java interoperability story is worse, many tools such as Android's toolchain expect bytecode, etc ...

The problem that Scala has (and also Clojure, as soon as you do AOT) is that Scala's idioms do not translate well into Java bytecode, as Java's bytecode is designed for, well, Java. Therefore even small and source-compatible changes, like adding another parameter with a default value to a method or like adding a method to a trait, can trigger binary incompatibilities.

The plan for Scala is to embed in the .class, besides the bytecode, the abstract syntax tree built by the compiler and then the compiler can take a JAR and repurpose it for whatever platform you want. This is part of the TASTY and the Scala-meta projects. If you think about it it's not that far from what Clojure is doing, except that this is done in the context of a static language that doesn't rely on the presence of an interpreter at runtime. Of course, LISPs are pretty cool. And of course, you'll still need to recompile your projects, but at least then the dependencies won't have to be changed.
Opportunities to pursue interests != career choice

A lot of things are interesting to a lot of people. That does not mean they are competent in it to make it a viable career.

In other words, even if I "think" I like something, doesn't mean I'm actually going to thrive in that occupation in the real world.

I used to play for local soccer teams. That did not translate to Ronaldo-level paychecks.

Another example: I used to be uber-good at math. Does that mean that I'll survive the stresses of HFT? I don't think that's a guarantee. Those environments are brutal, full of abuse. It is a necessity in those environments. If I (a person, regardless of my gender) cannot survive that environment, I should not be taking that job...and not be expecting to do so either.

I think many women completely miss the point that fairness is just equal opportunity to pursue your interests.

"Just because you are interested" is not reason enough to land those jobs/careers. You need to work for it....just like any other man. Welcome to equality!
Any idea how does it achieve that?
Critique of Paper by “Deep Learning Conspiracy”
With a majority of majors going to Health professions, Psychology, English, Biology, Arts, Social Sciences, etc and few going to Engineering. It's not a big surprise that, although many claim an "interest" in Engineering that many are also unqualified to hold a position as an Engineer [0].

Having an interest in something and being qualified for the position are two entirely different things. Being qualified has a large factor in whether or not you get a job related to your interest.

They're complaining because they see the general trend.

When it's getting to the point where you don't just have to go outside, which is reasonable, or even go outside but avoid high traffic areas, but instead to go to this one specific spot outside, and there are people advocating banning smoking outdoors altogether it starts to get ridiculous.

I find it a strange comparison to the marijuana legalization movement.

EDIT: correction: they have actually banned smoking outside in certain places. (http://www.cnn.com/2011/US/05/23/new.york.smoking.ban/) So you can't smoke indoors. You can't smoke outdoors. But fuck 'em, they're smokers, so who cares.
I don't think so. It's because of a strong commitment to users not to introduce breaking changes. I've been mostly using Java and Clojure in recent years, and before that C/C++ and I'm pretty surprised people don't take backwards compatibility for granted, and that there are languages that don't consider it a top priority. (Well, new C++ compiler versions sometimes broke existing code, but that was quite rare)
Great work! Very useful :)

It seems like the "of" does it more than anything. It parallels organizations like "Department of Defense" and "Federal Bureau of Investigation": some generic noun to represent that it's an organization of people, "of," and then an abstract noun that gives the organization a purview that's universal or total in scope. Most organizations that have the audacity to do this have a monopoly on the use of force behind them.

The CoC, of course, is itself in the business of government: trade its governmental access and leverage to businesses in exchange for large cash grants.
