Personally, I think this article is very negative, and I think that if the author themselves is unable to live in accordance with the polemic they forward, they should reconsider its wisdom.

This isn't a "gotcha." The fact that you need only one line to point out this contradiction is irrelevant.

Further, in this case, it is very much worth posting, because otherwise someone could miss this contradiction and think that the article has any legs at all, when in reality it doesn't, and only exists to sell eBooks.

> How many of the females are interested in Engineering but majored in Gender or Women's Studies and effectively slashed any chances they had of working as an engineer?

The guy who started this site majored in philosophy and identified as a painter for a long time.
What about careers that don't require academic credentials? I gave the example earlier of my own daughter, and the gender bias she faces working in a professional kitchen. That's not an academics-driven field. Kitchen advancement comes from apprenticeship and personal relationships.

If gender bias (observable in staff behavior) plays a role in opportunity, then it stands to reason that women are less likely than men to advance in the field, given similar effort and experience.
From the first chart, data is only aggregated yearly, Median Series C funding only spiked for 1 year (2014). That's not enough to establish a trend, and it's misleading when you compare to the Stock market chart which shows the data trending more continuously.
OK, in that case I see the point of fighters as a secondary line of defense for the AWACS. If the AWACS can stand off so far, however, then the primary weapon could be just a mobile missile platform, relying on the AWACS for targeting info. That seems easier and cheaper to build than whatever the F-35 has become.

The thread title normally changes to reflect the title of the article.

In this case, the window title of the page is "Apple - Music", but the page headline, which can reasonably be considered the title of this "article", is "Free, three-month trial of Apple Music now available."

So it seems to me that this change is perfectly in line with HN's normal policies.

What are the benefits of introducing specialized time-series databases vs using Redis, Casandra, or some Sql database?
I wouldn't say it never works: containing spending is good policy. It worked, for example, in Spain. But Spain had going for it that the economy (although badly performing) was doing much better than Greece at the start of the crisis, and specially that the markets had somebody else to bet against, namely Greece. The Spanish bond risk premium (compared to German bonds) was widening rapidly, but the Greece one was humongous. So, the market pressure was a huge problem for Greece.

While the market was betting against Greece (and making handsome profits with big interests and, as we now know, zero risk), Spain was quietly improving.

I am sure that, if Greece had been brought to its knees by the market, the next to fall would have been Spain (well, the next in line was probably Portugal).

In that situation, austerity measures are actually counter-productive. This is what we have in Greece. Europe needs to face the markets here.

And the problem is that, once Greece defaults in the following weeks (if Europe decides to let it fall, that is), Portugal will be the next to feel the pressure. Spain is probably out of the woods by now - by luck, so to speak.
Get together with some other people and some shares in Google; file for a stockholder's motion at the company's annual general meeting (you just missed the 2015 one unfortunately), which will probably be recommended against by the board; hire a PR person and target the business press with a clear explanation of why you're doing it and what you hope to achieve; lose the vote but repeat for several years in a row.

This is a slow and cumbersome procedure with a low-ish chance of success, but it does have the merit that the senior management of the firm will become aware of your issue, and if you can make a good case that CoC membership is at odds with stockholders' long-term interests then their fiduciary duties will require them to consider the issue seriously.
Thanks for the tip. I'm not so worried about insert/update, since this is a reporting database and the only inserts are done by backgrounded processes.

Yes, we have fk indexes.

I don't see how we can filter down the number of rows, since the purpose of the outer query is to get a count of how many buyclicks there were for each offer. But I'll see if I can create a covering index that reduces the join cost.

Thanks again!

> Clojure doesn't have to do this, because Clojure dependencies get distributed as source-code

Clojure doesn't have to do this because it was designed to allow separate compilation as much as possible[1], and because it hardly ever changes binary representation in backwards-incompatible ways. Protocols and multimethods are indeed handled at the call-site, but in such a way that a change to the protocol/multimethods don't require re-compilation of the callsite[2]. Similarly, Kotlin, a statically typed language distributed in binary, is also designed to allow separate compilation as much as possible[3]. If a feature would break that property (e.g. require re-compilation of a callsite when an implementation changes at the call target), that feature simply isn't added to the language.

This is a design that admits that extra-linguistic features (like separate compilation) are as important as linguistic abstractions (sometimes more important).

BTW, separate compilation isn't only a concern with Java class files. Object file linking also places limits on how languages can implement abstractions yet still support separate compilation. Some languages place less emphasis on this than others.

[1]: In fact, as a Lisp, Clojure's unit of (separate) compilation isn't even the file but the top-level expression. No top-level expression should require re-compilation if anything else changes.

[2]: The implementation of protocols: https://github.com/clojure/clojure/blob/master/src/clj/cloju...

[3]: Even Java doesn't support 100% separate compilation. There are rare cases where changes to one class requires recompilation of another.

I know these guys really well -- Avi ran a local ISP in Philadelphia where I grew up, and back when it was NSF-controlled, helped me get Internet access through local POP, and then supporting a FreeNet project (coincidentally set up by Eric S.

Cisco has a poor track record in the consumer space. While I commend them on making that statement, Cisco's MO is not free and consumer focused products.

As far as I can see, the general negative health effects of smoking were well established in the 60s. Cigarettes sold in the US have had warnings about the negative health consequences since 1966. If you started before that showed up and still smoke today you'd be smoking for 50 years. I doubt there are PLENTY of people around who have been doing it that long.
Maybe every paper should cite Boole, Church & Flowers?

Or maybe not..
Don't get me wrong, I like the article, but it dismisses a whole bunch of silicon valley stuff as "variations on a theme" of microprocessors and parsing radio spectrum. Fair enough but including the invention of Coca Cola and Edison opening a power plant? That's like counting "Apple starts selling iPhones in China" as an innovation.

The "safety" bicycle? (the chain drive was invented in 1879) First practical street railway? (It's like a railway, on a street.) The Wall Street Journal?

It's always worth putting technological progress in context. It reminds me of a 1999 WIRED article where they asked people to pick which 20th century technology would most shape the 21st century, to which one expert replied (I paraphrase), "if I weren't restricted to 20th century technologies, I'd say the telephone" (pointing out that the majority of the world's population lacked access at the time). Someone (maybe the same person) nominated the bicycle as the most important technology of the 20th century.
I was going to critique this argument, but then my mouth just open and closed over and over, silently.

Really? You're serious? Women aren't as smart (or competent, to use your euphemism) as men because they would rather be popular and pretty? That men do the "hard stuff" while women stop themselves?

You're serious?

Oh, dude. You really need to talk to some women.
>While only 22% of CS PhDs were given to women, they made up an even more minuscule 14% of CS faculty.

Not everyone who obtains a degree later chooses to enter their field of study. A degree also does not guarantee a job. This is yet another example of trying to misuse statistics as a form of confirmation bias.

Looking at statistics from this Slate article [0], since 2003 only <50%~ of Engineer PHD's are employed. What that means is that of those 22% CS PhDs roughly 11% would be the the number who are employed in the end assuming no gender discrimination beyond obtaining the degree.

Given the data is 3 years out of date, it's possible employment rate has jumped to 63% (the highest its been since 1998!) and that 14% is exactly on-par for the course for having no gender discrimination (against or in favor of) women. A more realistic estimate is that the employment rate is still at 50% or below and 14% is actually discrimination in favor of hiring women given less than 11% should be hired at current employment rates.

>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.

It was one example of a major dominated by women that is useless for holding any of the jobs listed as "liked". They also "opt out of the Engineering work force" by majoring in Biology, Business, and Psychology and not Engineering if you feel that using Gender Studies was somehow sexist.

Nope, trademarks are used to distinguish brands and ensure their authenticity, and that's exactly what is happening here. If people used this to impersonate another company (e.g. to pretend they had gotten their endorsement) then that's a problem. But as long as this is used as part of a directory (or similar) service there is no copyright or trademark problem.

Smoking is still considered cool among some subgroups. I've seen a lot of 14-16 year olds get addicted to cigarettes this year for that reason. Mostly a subset of the ones that tried vaping, which is being marketed very aggressively even in the US.

Sorry, that was just a shorthand for "when smoking wasn't thought to be harmful to one's health."

This thread sure is a gold mine for people jumping on every little mistaken word, huh?
For me at least, it's because those without a few years of experience aren't going to be able to be productive enough to be worth their pay. In fact, even if money isn't an issue, they can add more workload to the senior members of the team in mentoring and bug-fixing time. This might be partially because web development changes so fast. It's unlikely that someone with a degree but no real-world experience is going to be productive without (optimistically) a few months of training.

Don't get me wrong, I'd gladly hire someone who has done her own side-projects that show initiative and ability to teach herself, even if she wasn't through school yet.
The OneDrive for Business is a recent rebranding thing. :(

OneDrive the consumer product is awesome and fun. It is incredibly transparent, IMHO more so than other solutions out there on the market. (Admittedly the differences are minor, just the added touch here or there)

Awhile back all the different consumer cloud storage providers kept one-upping each other on storage capacity, so I am sitting at some stupid high amount of GB for my OneDrive account.

I think so. Though my bets are on mobile VR taking off very soon. Although you're limited by the processing power of the phone the ability to carry a VR headset anywhere and be untethered is totally worth the trade off.

Watching a movie in the GearVR as if you were in a movie theatre is one of the most pleasant VR experiences out there. I'm also a big fan of cardboard for its portability and thriftiness, but it is definitely a limited VR experience. Think of it as a gateway VR experience.

With room scale VR on the way with Oculus CV1 and the Vive we're also going to see much more compelling VR experiences. The caveat here is that they'll be quite inaccessible as they'll require a pretty hefty gaming rig and a dedicated space for walking around. But things like Oculus Touch will bring the interactivity of VR to a new level. Right now it's very much just sit and rotate your head. It'll get better I think. There are also a lot of unsolved challenges like storytelling, capturing a users attention when they're free to look anywhere, limited input, etc.

It's a great time to be a VR developer.

That's still not easy enough to do. UDP is simple enough but doing TCP in those drivers is still a pain. There are DPDK with LWIP or with some BSD tacked on top but so far I didn't find something that I can just take for a ride in that area.

For the extreme cases you really want to control the packet allocation for receive and make the buffers your app uses be also used for the network transmit so you get a real zero-copy.
So your proposition is that interest is 100% irrelevant to eventual career path? That's the only scenario where this data is irrelevant. I didn't notice the article saying "interest should correlate 100% with career and any difference is just sexism", which seems to be the straw man you're putting up.

It's not uncommon to allow users to sudo up to particular system users for commands, nor it is uncommon for compromised programs to give the attacker a shell as the user of the compromised program.

Anything owned by that user is vulnerable. A common problem which is typically resolved by reading a config file while root and downgrading to a lower privilege user. For example, you wouldn't want anyone who could become the nginx user to get the SSL key, or the password to your S3 bucket, or...
We are affected by this mistake because we are socialised to be offended and outraged by labeling we perceive as offensive. We do this to substitute an impossible external enforcer (of common norms) with an internal, distributed one.

It is tough, emotional work to understand that there is no need to punish an algorithm. I guess it takes time and additional norms (e.g. devs saying they are sorry, etc..) to adapt to this new existence of semiautomatic affronts.

Why does every TSD seem so overly engineered and for all the wrong reasons? Why not just use a time decaying ring buffer (multiple buffers could be used), one statistic one file (or more depending on the decay) and offset by a set interval if you have irregular intervals 'smooth' it to fit O(1) for most things. My other issue is (from a glance) looking at some TSD they ignore most research done on how to effectively store the data.

Too many writes, use a cache to batch.

If you aren't worried about the customer case you need be aware of nation state interest in partnering with search engines and content curators - not just to censor - but to deceive and manipulate. The leaked US Special Forces document on Wikileaks does not mentioned Google but does talk about putting adversaries in an information bubble that will make it look like they've lost public support for their cause. They expand this bubble around not only the adversary, but their family and close friends.

The way the US military works in large and increasing part is that it works with US corporations to achieve these effects. Given the complaints by other countries of weaponization of Google/Facebook and studies done on using search engine results to manipulate voting we should keep our eyes peeled that Google continues to 'not be evil'.

This is nonsensical slogan talk. Austerity means spending less. Every government that ever balances its finances is practices austerity. You can make an argument that Greece cannot pay back its debt, austerity or not.

But, the argument is thrown around in this crazy way that suggests the only rational choice is to keep borrowing and spending. There is some keynsian-like explanations that might support this but, at some point (greece has crossed it) no one will lend you any more money so its moot.
