I don't drink, primarily due to religious reasons, and it's affected a lot of my work relationships, especially when working at smaller companies. Earlier in my career, Friday afternoons were more about retrospecting, process improvement, and everyone would start with a few beers.

My drinking affected the social vibe of it, and when I didn't drink, majority of people in the room would call it out. It took a lot of self-control not to cave to peer-pressure, but after a while, people respected the decision.

But it was awkward, knowing that people are a little buzzed around the close of the day, and I'm the only sober one. I feel like I've kind of had to stay away from social events because I don't drink, which is a shame because I'd love to hang out and discuss software with people, but can't really fit in socially.

I think the most important thing I'd say to drinkers is that if there's someone who doesn't drink, don't ostracize them or judge them. There's a lot of reasons why people won't drink, religious, personal, etc. And for those non-drinkers, don't go around complaining about the drinking culture, or make others feel uncomfortable. I learned that when I wasn't drinking, others thought I was silently judging them which wasn't the case at all. In the end, it boils down to the principle of not judging others and just having tolerance for one another.
I don't know what the limit for `for` loops is, but Excel has some limits to nesting of flow control structures like `if`. For example, you cannot nest `if` statements more than seven deep. I suspect the parent poster is referring to a limitation similar to this, but for nesting `for` loops.
If you stock a team of people attacking a problem with people who fit one precise mold, you'll miss out on the breadth of problems that people from other backgrounds face. More importantly, you'll miss out on their solutions to those problems. You're trading global progress for a blip of personal comfort extracted at a high cost from more vulnerable people.

Seriously in the most crass cynical context imaginable, diverse teams should be expected to outperform homogenous ones. For some HN-relatable examples to this 101-level topic, see TNG: The Masterpiece Society, DS9: Melora, or Bill Burr's "Ashy" bit.

Does that explain the "incentive" to not be a bigoted shithead devoid of empathy?
> the USA has a culture of binge drinking, which is the absolute WRONG way to drink

The implication here is that the rest of the world is different. My experience disagrees with this. I spent 6 months studying in Germany and did not see a significant difference vs how people drink in the US. Germans, Italians, Poles, etc. all binge drank, with the primary difference being what they consumed most of the time. When I was in London, I saw plenty of Brits binge drinking as well.

It's commonly claimed that US drinking culture is different from European drinking culture. I've heard a number of people, mostly Americans complaining about our drinking culture, make claims like "Germans drink, but they don't get drunk". We're really not that different in general. Some people drink very moderately. Some people binge drink. Some people binge drink to the point of serious danger. Some people are alcoholics.

The biggest difference I see is that American culture is different with regards to youth drinking. We've made it generally illegal to drink before the age of 21, so we have a culture of expected abstention until that age. This means that youth drinking becomes largely binge drinking, because if you're going to violate the law to consume alcohol, you're probably going to do it to excess. Contrarily, even if you were interested in moderation, you aren't going to be moderately drinking often, because it's not worth the risk. So binge drinking ends up over-represented.
Yep, all of those people stand to gain from setting as low a price as possible given that a liquidity event will reset the share price anyway. Not to mention that any buybacks would hit your run rate, because run rates are about operating cash flows and not valuation numbers (and buybacks are just a way to convert operating cash into equity).
Then should the rest of us not step up? Or is it that there's no effective way to combat it without making major changes to browsers we have little control over? At the very least, someone could have a website which listed steps you can take to protect yourself.

Changing your door lock setting doesn't require the infotainment system, the GUI for it currently does.

That's vitally important to understand. The systems are mingled but they don't have to be and in fact shouldn't be.

Also, not all isolation is the same. Consider the scope of isolation between multiple sandboxed apps (some accessing the raw internet) on a single computer and two separate computers connected via a specialized protocol-aware data diode.

How were you able to get data from NYC? I know the NYC BIS website enabled intelligent blockers to prevent web scraping. There is also no alternative for all of the permits data.
'TED 2' - A 'MOVIE TALK' Review, with Guest Critic Katy Crosslin:
Wow this is pretty cool, does it affect the terminals performance though?
GTX 580: 585M transistors

GTX 680: 3.5B transistors

GTX Titan: 7.1B transistors

GTX 980: 5.2B transistors

GTX Titan X: 8B transistors

Core i7-5930k: 2.6B transistors

What the data above suggests to me is that relying solely on Moore's Law to predict performance is a fool's errand. Going forward, process transitions are obviously slowing down and IMO victory will go to those who make the best use of the available transistors. Just like programmers who make the best use of the caches and registers in these processors get dramatically better performance than those who can't be bothered to even think about such things.

Intel's business strategy of backwards-compatibility is a giant albatross for them here in that they spend a lot of transistors on this, but clearly otherwise profitable.
In contrast, while GPUs are mostly backwards-compatible, they usually oops I meant nearly always oops I meant always need some refactoring to hit close to peak performance. But that usually leads to ~2x performance improvements per generation so far.

Whenever someone complains about having to do this I ask them if they prefer this over hand-coded assembler inner loops for maximally exploiting SSE/SSE2/SSE3/SSE4/AVX2/AVX512? Usually, I get some dismissive remark about leaving that to the compiler. Good luck with that plan IMO.
> tangential if not orthogonal to the conversation

Er, sorry. My train of thought was: products need to be less harmful --> the aggregate character of the the industry needs to change --> putting more emotionally competent people in the industry --> overcoming the gender-related conflict in the industry. Which, I think is the conversation.

As to developers cf. management... What sort of developer fails to think about the possible consequences a given product might have on the lives of people they will never meet? #cough#
That's my argument exactly. Employees should value illiquid stock options at close to (but not exactly) zero. They're assets that have potentially huge upside, but also the risk of ending up worthless, cannot be sold now, and have no guarantee that they will ever be sellable. A rational decision maker would value such an asset at close to zero.

I'd argue that it's in the employees' best interest to realistically value the equity portion of their compensation package.

EFF is interested in this issue. It's one of the motivations behind our work on Panopticlick and Privacy Badger, for instance.

https://panopticlick.eff.org/

https://www.eff.org/privacybadger

We have also participated in meetings and discussions on tracking protection and lobbied browser developers about it.

The Panopticlick research shows that it's potentially difficult to impossible to detect and prevent persistent cross-site tracking in the current web platform by technical means. Even if we fixed every cookie-like mechanism so that no site can set and query state except through official HTTP cookies and subject to the user's cookie preferences, the sites might still be able to recognize the browsers by querying other navigator (and OS and plugin) properties. Tor Browser has been able to do a great job on that issue -- but at the cost of disabling a lot of web platform features that sites might expect.

It was hacking.

I'm not quibbling about that. I replied to this statement:

> The company added that hacking its vehicles was a "criminal action".

I don't think that's the case, but I still commend them for doing a recall this quick.

Which characterizes the statement in the article to be about hacking the vehicle at all. So my reply points out that the manufacturer was probably not putting forth that characterization when they talked about criminal action, they were likely talking about unauthorized remote manipulation (which should be and quite likely is criminal).

So my argument is that the manufacturer statement about criminality is narrower in scope than the BBC translation of it.

The software update release is obviously in response to the research:

Upgrading it to a recall is probably in response to bad press.

I'm following this with great interest. The Android work I do is extremely specialized, with much of the complexity being on the device-side, so I'm not yet sure whether I can speculate about the impact on other mobile developers with lesser requirements. Having language-level support for message-based concurrency alone would be an absolute godsend. The current batch of alternatives are simply way to janky. Go language is Google-maintained, the importance of which independent developers may not be aware of. For enterprise/line-of-business work, having a credible alternative to Java and C/C++ is very significant.
You should both teach them FreeBASIC. After they've written their first Objects as Extended Types they will have no trouble at all moving on to C++ if they want to. They will have little trouble finding out how to create GUIs using GTK or how to compile for DOS, Windows and Linux and they won't lose time trying to figure out how to distribute their programs or wondering if the Python runtime is installed on their client's machines or not.

This was 2007, before the JOBS act. The company had 43 shareholders. It was subject to laws in a different country, that had the same "500 shareholder disclosure" trigger at 40 people (but the disclosure would have made it to the US as well, being public).

Also, the JOBS act is from April 2012. Almost every ESOP, ISO etc. plans in effect today were prepared and enacted before the JOBS act.

You can get some benefits from EFF's Privacy Badger and from Mozilla's Tracking Protection feature.

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/tracking-protection-fir...

https://www.eff.org/privacybadger

Both of these tools are focused on cross-site ("third-party") tracking, rather than cross-session tracking by an individual site ("first-party"). Third-party tracking is technically easier to try to detect, and some people regard it as more intrusive.

As I mentioned upthread, EFF's own research on browser fingerprinting shows that it's hard to stop all user tracking (because your browser and OS and device might be different enough from others to be unique in a population in ways that could be observable by a remote site). Tor Browser is doing great work on this

https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser/design/#finge...

and I think they've made concrete progress. (I think the Tor Browser developers might say that the privacy benefits of using their changes without Tor are unclear because you could also so easily be tracked by IP address. But it's possible that some of their changes will find their way into mainline Firefox, at least as options.)
I agree. We were doing a soft launch to convert some beta customers to actual customers and get feedback, and the site was on the agenda for this upcoming week before announcing it. Then cue one of those customers posting to HN and now we're kind of exploding a bit more.

"...a set of illustrative economic projections based only on publicly available information...The projections that were inadvertently released are staff projections that do not incorporate policymakers' views, including their views on monetary policy. Policymaker views were set forth in the monetary policy statement and projection materials released on June 17 and in the minutes of the June FOMC meeting and the Summary of Economic Projections published on July 8."

I mentioned that the Fed failed to raise the FRR after hitting their unemployment metric to illustrate the lack of credibility/hard action the Fed takes on forecasts. They are always reassessing the economic situation, and their announcements/forecasts are specifically engineered to give away as little guidance as possible, so as not to jolt markets.

So until they make a major announcement of affirmative action - 'we are raising rates now', rather than the boilerplate template they've been using for the past 6 years [1], there's really no reason for investors to take action.

[1] 6/17/15 Monetary Policy Statement - To support continued progress toward maximum employment and price stability, the Committee today reaffirmed its view that the current 0 to 1/4 percent target range for the federal funds rate remains appropriate. In determining how long to maintain this target range, the Committee will assess progress--both realized and expected--toward its objectives of maximum employment and 2 percent inflation. This assessment will take into account a wide range of information, including measures of labor market conditions, indicators of inflation pressures and inflation expectations, and readings on financial and international developments. The Committee anticipates that it will be appropriate to raise the target range for the federal funds rate when it has seen further improvement in the labor market and is reasonably confident that inflation will move back to its 2 percent objective over the medium term.
