Well, your house is used as collateral for the loan, otherwise the bank would never lend you that money.

I'm not an economist, but I don't think that, in the case of Greece, the "house" (whatever it stands for) was used as collateral.

I don't think there really was any collateral. I guess lenders just hoped that Greece would pay back, or would be pressured into paying back.

> Oddly enough it seems that 6th gen projects are already running around with both Boeing and Lockheed showcasing their concepts, i have a feeling that while the F-22 won't be replaced it will be complemented very quickly by a 6th gen fighter probably before 2025

What? Less than 10 years from military requirements to entering service for a new fighter? Not going to happen, even with "concepts" without actual military requirements being shopped. F-22 was 24 years from ATF requirements to entering service. F-35 was about as long. In general, procurement cycles for fighters have been getting longer for several aircraft generations. There's no sign that that would suddenly reverse.
EHR, payroll, on-call management, paging, messaging, MDM, billing, mobile computing, HR, interfaces... pick ANY thing really, as almost everything will need to be hipaa compliant.

the healthcare system i work for has 650+ applications we support, I was hired as a developer yet we do very little development here. Hospitals like the idea of a vendor they can call and make fix anything, because its very costly to have SMEs for every single piece of software we use. many of them requires us to send our staff our for training yearly.

example: one vendor sells us diagnostic imaging software, but require us to buy a "certified" video card if we want their support... its just an old 90's nvidia card they rebrand and charge us $1500 each for.

Epic and Cerner are probably the largest EHRs. Epic revenues were 1.56B in 2013. While Cerner did 2.66B in 2013.

also, a lot of healthcare spending is government subsidized, which makes it even more lucrative.

I agree the web cam idea sounds great, but the human intimidation factor is critical. You want to know how well you deliver the talk when you are in front of an audience. The are involuntary physioligical reactions that occur inside your body when real people are in front of you looking at you as a group. Learning to deal with and harness these reactions is an essential part of learning to deliver your talk.
This post would be much more informative and useful if similar statistics were included for men. If the porportion interested in a subject, but not entering it (versus the porportion interested and entering it) was higher for one gender than the other, then it would suggest that one gender faced more difficulties in attaining success in that field than the other. If the proportion of one gender with (similar) credentials in a given field, but without employment in this specific field (which they have a stated desire for), then it would even stronger evidence that there were some obstacles with gender-specific impacts.

From what I can understand of this piece's evidence, it only shows that many women want to be civil engineers, but do not go into that field. Anecdotally, I know many men who would have liked to be engineers, and did not succeed. I am left wondering whether there are a large number of men and women who would have liked to go through years of agony in post-secondary education, to end up in front of a computer all day with few social interactions; if so, what are the differences in preferences, dedication, and outcomes for the genders (as there are likely to be many).

edit: It would also be interesting to see the impact of age on preferences and employment, to see whether younger women were more likely to achieve their preferred employment, and whether preferences varied with age.

edit2: It would also be useful to know how many careers each individual 'liked'. It is possible that (of the population surveyed) one gender 'liked' more jobs than the other, and so is less likely to be employed in any specific 'liked' career.

*I initially misunderstood the data presented in the article (see brighteyes' comment below), but would still like to see the gender separated data for interest, credentialling, and employment.

Clojure is one of the easiest languages to learn. You need to know very few concepts to become productive in it. I get co-op students very 4 months at work and they generally start doing useful stuff within a week or so.

I wrote a conceptual starter guide a little while back ( https://yogthos.github.io/ClojureDistilled.html ), that covers all the basics that you need to know to get up and running.
IMHO:

Reaching a level of success can still be "suffering" if that success is built on the suffering of others.

So, while yes I'd certainly love to be a Billionaire in theory, I have a hard time thinking of how that could come about in a way that wouldn't compound and produce more suffering in the world. My own, and others'.

an F-16 with a missile was better
than the A-10: Sure, the gun
on the A-10 is amazing, but the
A-10 flies low and slow and
should be vulnerable to, say,
MANPADS. The F-16 flies
higher and faster, fires a
missile, and then is out'a there.

Maybe the USAF wants the F-35 to
be better, still: Use stealth.

Sure, maybe soon the USAF will want

This is definitely very interesting data. But there are several issues with the analysis:

> Using a statistical measure called r-squared, we determined that the male/female mix within a career is on average about 31% explained by the fact that men and women have different interests. What this means is that about two-thirds of discrimination is explained by other factors.

Not "discrimination" in that last sentence, but "difference". Perhaps this was unintentional, and "discrimination" is meant in some obtuse technical sense. But to most people "discrimination" means intentionally unfair treatment. The data they show - again, very interesting data - does not show anything about discrimination.

edit: a second major issue is that they don't normalize the likes, or at least don't mention that they do. The likes are not limited, in other words, one can like 1,000 careers, and work in just 1. That would appear to show that person wanted to work in all those careers, but didn't, showing a "gap".

A more normalized measure could let each person only like one career, say. Again, maybe they did this, but it isn't stated, and generally "likes" are not limited.
> Interestly, anyone engineering human safety, and anyone dealing with its consequences, including the courts and insurance industry, all have to.

This is generally context sensitive and inaccurate. Engineers are attempting to limit liability, courts are attempting to compensate, and the insurance industry is attempting to limit compensation. These are not honest evaluations of human value, but rather honest evaluations of the market value of a human. The F-35 had better save millions of lives.
Ask HN: Why do jr developer positions require so much?
I thought the point of being in a JR developer position was to get a job with limited experience and continue to learn while working. I've been in a job search lately and checking out these Jr Developer positions, they require so much! Some require bachelors degrees, 3-5 years in web development, experience with quite a few languages. I can't tell if this is really what Jr Developer positions require or if these companies are trying to save some money by paying little for the same experience.

thx. corrected.
That would get into the stuff at the bottom, when you simulate other data structures within your data structure. A non-cyclic data structure can simulate cyclicness with IDs on nodes and things that store links... it's generally how you do it in Haskell, in fact, since while saying "it can't" do true graphs is perhaps a smidge overstrong it is certainly not practical to try to modify knot-tied structures. (I've seen the question "How would I do a graph?" repeatedly on /r/haskell, and "use IDs in a map" is generally what comes back.) But you're putting a layer on top of your store.

(By the by... you know you can trust me, because... semantic. Semantic.)
There is no definitive resources. In the US, it's still a gray area. My suggestion is not to build a business around it.
> and also Clojure, as soon as you do AOT

Not so much. You can do separate compilation with Clojure to a far greater extent than Scala (perhaps even completely). The Java interfaces of Clojure functions haven't changed in incompatible ways in a very, very long time.

The problem isn't so much Unix, but rather that we have largely failed to evolve it since the days of AT&T System III. The Bell Labs people kept working on Research Unix up to V9 with plenty of great features (like V9 IPC streams) that were never replicated anywhere else, before moving on to the ultimate culmination of these ideas in the form of Plan 9 and Inferno.

Meanwhile Linux has always been a boring SysV Unix clone that only occasionally ripped some features (and in a questionable manner) like procfs, sysfs, epoll, signalfd so you don't have to do the self-pipe trick, inotify, cgroups and namespaces. Stuff that competing systems often did much better.

The BSDs have been quicker to do more novel things, but by far the only two modern Unices to get the memo are DragonFly BSD and Solaris/illumos.
This is perilously close to arguing that women don't do engineering because they're not as smart as men.

Either you're using competence to explain the disparities, or you're not. If you're not, then you need an explanation for the observable interest/career disparities. This is especially true for paths where gender bias is reflected in the low/high career paths within the same field (for example, nurses vs doctors).

And if you're just saying women aren't as smart as men... well.
Hm, interested in sharing some more ideas on this? Like a crappy prototype?
Potato-Powered flight to over 1000-feet [Update]
Yes, 2 years after it was released. And there are many levels of bundling. Will they both support all of them? Will the MCUs follow quickly? The WebRTC landscape is a disjoint map of features and support that evolves very slowly.

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

What might be being implied is that women inherently don't have equal opportunity to pursue interests, if a bunch of women are interested and somehow never enter the field in comparison to men who show interest and enter the field in rates according to interest.

> Uber for X services thrive on high retention something which is low for hair cuts.

I think, more specifically, they thrive on high repetition rate, high platform retention, and high commoditization (or, equivalently, low provider retention.)

Hair cutting/styling, AFAICT, has fairly low repetition rate for most users, and low commoditization / high provider retention (and that's even more true among the segment of the population which does have a high repetition rate), and so the utility of the market platform seems pretty low for most users and providers.
This is the only attack-the-methodology critique I've read on this thread that actually makes any sense.
This ignores the fact that discrimination in a career field deters women from being interested in the field to begin with, creating a self-sustaining vicious cycle.

Within broad notions of a career, for example a "career in law" or a "career in medicine", we see much more equal numbers for men and women, but when we look at the jobs women actually have, we see that women occupy low status jobs (like paralegal and nurse) while men occupy high status jobs (like lawyer and doctor), indicating that interest is not a factor in gender gaps for specific professions.

It's disappointing to read hacker news comments on any article related to feminism, and this isn't an exception. The goal of more than a hundred years of feminist struggle isn't to change the rules of society in some arbitrary way so deontological goals are adhered to, but women are not actually equal members of society. The goal is to create an actually equal society. Anything less is a failure, and if you argue for that, you are arguing against feminism.

Ask HN: Is the Estimize model approach transferable to other industries?
This article leaves out the rather obvious Option #4: ignore Safari and develop to modern standards. Put up warnings about how Safari is broken like we all did when we decided enough was enough with IE, and that - if a user wants one's sites to not be broken - one should use something that isn't Safari (and, in the case of iOS, something that isn't iOS).

The more developers who get on board with the "fuck you, Apple; if you want our sites to work for our users, then you need to fix your shit", the more pressure there will be from users for Apple to either fix Safari themselves or allow the installation of real alternative browsers on iOS, and thus the sooner either of those things will happen (or Apple slips closer to its pre-iPod days of borderline-obscurity).
I can see that perspective. My thoughts were that each of these were not the "best" way to do things, but provided a great effort/benefit ratio. For example, if you have a very high traffic website, then you're better off using a CDN for static files instead of Whitenoise.
Agreed but the physiological side of it is just one part, going into the talk knowing that someone impartial has already been over it and that you have your ducks in a row would definitely help.

I once had the entire management of a (very large) company I worked for turn up for a training talk I was doing with no notice, I did the talk which went well then went in the toilet and threw up, the nice thing is after that I stopped worrying about public presentations as literally the worst thing had already happened.

The article is poorly worded - I misunderstood it initially - but their metric does appear to measure that.
