> In other words, you just keep moving the endposts so nothing is really "Feminism" unless you agree to it. Got it.

That is the opposite of what I did. What I did was to acknowledge that the term feminism is used to include ideologies that I disagree with.

> Repeat after me: The plural of Anecdote is not 'Data'

Right, 'Data' is the plural of 'Datum' and I provided you with two of them. I did not make a sufficiently statistical claim that requires a representative sample to validate.

Here is some more data:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equality_feminism

Most relevantly: "While equality feminism was the dominant perspective of feminism during the 19th and 20th century, the 1980s and 1990s brought about a new focus in popular feminism on difference feminism, or the essential differences between men and women."

> Feminism only sees to female rights in reference to 'leveling the playing field'.

I'd ask to you cite that, but I understand the impossibility of proving non-existence (especially given that I have disproven that non-existence).

> If you support equal rights for men and women, that's egalitarianism.

Egalitarianism is a different broader umbrella term with an even looser range definitions. I am amused that in defending your anti-PC rant you end up trying to control what language I use to define myself in a very PC fashion.

You are free to call yourself an egalitarian and not identify as a feminist.

I am personally proud to share the label 'feminist' with a large number people who have individually done more to promote equality in the world that you ever will. I don't mind also sharing it with a some assholes from the internet who do nothing to promote equality.

Mapping learning: my structured view on learning Part Two
It doesn't have to be imminent to be taken seriously. I take my retirement savings seriously.
Thought provoking on a lot of levels. I believe that the technology we're creating is cutting both ways.

It has allowed us to become more connected, but it seems that connection is at the shallowest level and has resulted in a disconnection from our deeper selves as the added distractions take energy away from self-reflection and self-awareness.

The opportunities that we've created that allow any given idea to go viral, become a killer app and make billionaires has distracted us from finding deeper ideals that could be shared to show us how to lead a more meaningful life and create a civilization worthy of stepping out to the stars.

I don't know if what I'm saying makes any sense to anyone else, but something has definitely been bothering me for awhile and I think articles like this one are starting to help me articulate it and at least let me know that I'm not alone.

I very much appreciate that.
Let me rephrase: the original post denies that racism exists and/or plays a significant role in some very serious recent events, such as police interaction with members of minority communities and resultant citizen deaths, police interaction during routine traffic stops, and racially motivated mass shootings. Also, they off-handedly dismiss the experiential evidence of others while tooting their own horn about their experiences during police encounters.

Oh sorry, I certainly didn't mean to suggest he isn't a "true" developer - I'm sure he could code circles around me. I meant only that you were pointing to Facebook as a "direct counterpoint" to the suggestion that "developers don't run companies in general" - and it's not a great counterpoint because he's not going into the office every day and writing code, and hasn't since Facebook was a small/early-stage startup (where open layouts make the most sense).

i.e. he isn't making the decision as a developer, he's making it as a manager and the comment you were originally replying to was suggesting "for management cost and control would be more important considerations." [Though I'm not sure I entirely agree with that, as pointed out in my own reply to that comment]
Less experienced programmers are definitely over represented in engineers adversely affected by stress. This could be because people get better at interviewing at they gain experience, or because the people who can't perform under interview stress drop out of the profession
Advice for Startups from One of Silicon Valley's Top Seed Investors
I have a feeling Mongoose-V (32-bit MIPS) is manufactured in a 0.18um process node. I'm not 100% sure but it would coincide with the time of the release. HR5000 (64-bit MIPS) might be manufactured in a more recent SOI process node.
Thanks, haven't used or honestly heard of either one. Glad to have more to look at, thank you again.
It's unlikely that they meant "preferred pronoun" to be about a singular person generally, since it commonly refers to preferences about oneself.

People often use pronouns other than the ones someone prefers for a variety of reasons: sometimes the preferred pronoun is new, sometimes people forget, sometimes people don't respect that person's preferred pronoun.
Yes, quite sure. Source: Friends with people who knew them IRL.
Netflix plans to release a new Marvel superhero series every six months
Hm. Do you have any other info about your setup? I can't reproduce the behavior.
I believe the ultimate solution will be a combination of the two:

You have an automated road vehicle that acts as an "aircraft carrier" for drones. Something roughly the same size as a delivery truck today. It gets loaded up at the distribution center with packages and a few drones.

It picks a route that gets roughly near all of the deliveray locations. As it goes by, a drone is dispatched to take the package a couple of blocks to the person's doorstep and then returns to the "aircraft carrier".

When the drone gets back to the truck, it plugs in an recharges.

This uses drones for what they're best for: quickly and efficiently navigating small complex spaces like side streets and front yards when there is only a small payload you need to deliver. The truck addresses the shortcomings: limited flight time and payload capacity.
I'm a Microsoft fan and I love Windows, but this is the worst Windows yet in my opinion because they removed features and useful screens just to replace them with bland UWP style screens that don't have half as much functionality.

- Start menu keyboard acceleration is poor. I used to be able to hit the Windows key and then just hit ENTER to run the first app on the Start screen. Now, you have to hit tab or use an arrow key before you can do anything.

- The Start screen/menu/whatever doesn't let you operate in bulk anymore. WTF? Now I have to click three times as much to disable live tiles for a bunch of apps.

- Why can I not middle-click task-bar items to close the app yet? This seems like an obvious feature since that's how you close tabs on a tabbed window. 7+ Taskbar Tweaker fixed this glaring omission in Windows 8, but it's not on 10 yet. (I don't combine taskbar items. I know you can click the preview window after waiting a second for it to show up, but that's too slow.)

- They removed titlebar colors from all Windows so now you can't even tell which window is active or where the titlebar can be dragged. (This is an anti-pattern obviously copied from OS X, but the reason that I don't use OS X is because I don't like most of Apple's design decisions either.)

- I can't stand all of the thick borders and focus lines in the Metro/UWP style apps. At least in Windows 8, I could avoid them most of the time but there are even more of these screens in Windows 10. Win32 apps are so much better looking than this.

In short, I'm uninstalling this and going back to Windows 8.1 Pro, which I actually liked because it was easy to avoid Metro.
I think the term is "one true religion"
I wonder if detecting them is even really a problem. They move, emit heat, and most are naturally inclined to avoid drones already. I'm really curious about whether birds of prey might start hunting drones.
Demand-Driven Architecture - David Nolen, Kovas Boguta
They've been clocked at 80+. Remember though, they're not going to be descending at 80mph, which is really the only time you'd need to worry about collisions.
Nowadays, mostly architectural. Some design. Not as much process.

They call it "hardening-by-design" which translates to "not rad-hard, at all, just fault tolerant"

Architecturally, you put in a lot of fault tolerance. Multiple oscillators so you don't lose lock. More ECC for RAM. Modulo checks for arithmetic. The ability to reboot quickly and get back to operational from a checkpoint is useful. Voting on operations to detect failures.

Design-wise, you minimize nodes that can cause upsets. You put more charge on gates and only use static CMOS. Presumably, you use bipolar (which is current-driven rather than voltage driven like CMOS) anywhere you can without losing a lot of area (PLL's, I/O's, RF, analog circuitry).

Process-wise, insulating substrate is the obvious thing since it minimizes the collection of ionized charge. I doubt they do much more. Developing stable materials for semiconductor usage is really expensive, and not terribly profitable.
Writing a Basic Pokedex API in GraphQL
"At the core of the problem is that this approach can be used to burn a lot of a candidate's time without an equivalent investment from the company."

Maybe a tweak would be to only offer take home projects to candidates only after committing to bring them in for an on-site interview, then the interview consists mostly of reviewing the code from the take home.

(Personally, I think I'd still prefer the "coding in person" option.)
Is "cost of revenue" typically inclusive of recurring revenue? Or just new revenue (ie. cost of sales)?

Do they use steamer containers and those foil toasting platforms to get the textures and flavors right? Without them it'd be very easy to overcook the meats or change crispy to soggy. Some foods reheat very well, some don't, and a dirty workplace microwave transfers nasty flavors.

I would love it if there were a way for city slickers to subsidize the expansion of local organic farms. But at the same time, those farms need to be far enough away from cities to not be affected by increased pollution.

In India there's an army of people who deliver lunches to the city's workers. Maybe we could help provide part-time work to destitute inner city kids and adults with similar services.

You've got to be a little careful picking out items from their CV, though, especially if you go back far enough. I barely remember anything I did six months ago, and anything one or two years ago I couldn't explain to you in anything more than a really broad overview, despite being neck deep in the code. I've since moved past that, tackled other projects, stuffed my head full of knowledge of other systems (and hobbies), and all that deep technical information on those projects is long, long gone.

Ask HN: Are there still any design sites that showcase user-submitted links?
There was a time when a bunch of design-related web sites would have a "community news" section where they showcase user-submitted links.

A lot of those sites no longer appear to accept submissions. But surely, there must be some sites that accept design-related links.

Please share your suggestions.

> Competition is for suckers

> If you want to create and capture lasting value, look to build a monopoly

> recorded music revenues have fallen from $21 billion to $7 billion per year. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen from $65 billion in 2000 to $18 billion

So Joe Schmoe could make a record and market it to the general public (read: get radio airplay) before the internet came and stole everything with their "monopolies" ?

Anyone could start their own newspaper back then too ? There wasn't a huge barrier to entry, like, oh, buying your own printing press ?

I'm not sympathetic whatsoever to "content creators" bellyaching stories about the good ole days when they had control of the monopolies.

Information is free. If the only reason you were making money in 1995 was because HDDs weren't large enough to store hundreds of albums, or because a competing label couldn't afford payola to the radio stations, you never deserved the money you made in the first place.

Companies back then solved the problem of information scarcity. The fact that there is no more scarcity doesn't entitle you to reparation.
I don't think any of it's extreme, it's just an opinion. Still he might not want it coming up when a hiring manager googles his name 5-10 years down the road.

If HN let us delete our names and/or comments it would be different.

Perhaps this is not revolution, but a return: For much of human history, workers have been paid poorly, if at all. Labour was always cheap. This changed in the late 19th C and early 20th C. Perhaps 20th C costly labour was nothing but a blip, an oddity, and we are now returning to the mean?

The article contains the line economic gains will flow to those who own the platform rather than to those who do the work which makes me think of Agatha Christie's comment about her youthful perspective I never thought I would be so poor as to not have live-in staff, or so rich as to have a car and driver.
Will drones or self-driving trucks include Magic Doorbell-Tropic Technology[tm]?

How will they put deliveries into letterboxes? Or will there be a special Drone Nest Drop Off Utility Safebox[tm]?

And so on. The more you think about the idea, the less practical it gets.

I'm sure the problems can be solved. Obviously, you could retrofit your doorbell to include a drone code. Or make an app (it's always an app...) that alerts you when the drone is near.

This is perfectly fine, unless you don't want to change your doorbell and/or don't have the right kind of phone and/or don't want your stuff stolen.

There's a whiff of "Reinventing Yesterday's Technology for Tomorrow" about the idea. It looks a lot like a high school science show-and-tell trying to turn into a delivery system that can compete with 75 years of professional logistics expertise.

I don't usually do "not invented here", but there are so many very obvious things that can go wrong, and so may ways users need to change what they do, that I think debates about air traffic control are a long way down the list of show-stopper issues that need (literally) bullet-proof solutions.
Piling C4 on a mall rooftop is already illegal. There is no need to make it "even more illegal" by regulating drones, and there is no hope that such a regulation can successfully deter such use, short of completely banning drones.
Seems like a lot of the issues are mitigated by the file going away after the first download. Especially if there really are no logs or anything at that point.

Shooting anything out of the sky, at any height, is technically a felony.
No need to apologize, asking lots of questions is like boarding the express train to learningtown. I may choose to not answer, but that's on me, not on you.

Banks don't yield interest on savings, so we're not "allowing" the bank to retain anything. It's not like having money just magically procreates into more money. Banks pay interest on savings to their customers because their business model is "we get money in the form of savings, pay a little interest so people keep that money with us, and then we lend those savings to other people at higher interest. Boom, profit."

If we kept the interest yielded on savings held with Even, we would be taking money away from our customers, not from the banks. I think you might be vastly overestimating the amount of money you can make doing this, let alone the fact that it's a pretty dick thing to do.

The only way we make money is the subscription cost of using Even.

How Frightened Should Android Developers Be of Stagefright
It never ceases to amaze me how negative the HN community is to new ideas, technology and generally "trying new stuff" that has never been attempted before.

Drone Delivery - never going to work. Lots of solar power - too expensive. Autonomous cars - too risky

This is supposed to be a community of "Hackers" making cool stuff, and here we have a company talking about making cool stuff, and every single comment, without exception, is negative.

Yes, this is a very difficult problem to solve. Yes, there are many things they have not addressed yet. Yes, this needs a lot of work. No, they shouldn't just start doing this and see how many crashes happen. But yes, they need to keep talking, testing, learning and working towards a future where this is possible.

Does anyone in their right mind honestly think that in less than 150 years there will still be a single human-controlled vehicle (plane or automobile)?

Of course it's coming, and these guys are starting it. Now.

The same negativity could be said of the Wright brothers when they told people they were going to fly, or Henry Ford when he set out to mass-produce the automobile, or the people that said we'd have a global computer network and a computer in every home.

I honestly don't understand why the community here isn't more open to new ideas. Even ideas that never come to fruition are still worth analyzing. There is always something to be learned.

We should be talking about the interesting parts of this challenge and how they could be overcome, not saying "Not safe enough" Every. Single. Time.

https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20150724/15501631756/smoki...
I think the ingredients problem is why chain restaurants haven't completely dominated the landscape and why small restaurants can compete. No solution to the ingredients problem scales in a way that favors big entities. In fact there is a "tax" associated with being big for many ingredients that small restaurants don't pay.

If I need 1 fresh tomato a day it's tough because any one supplier might or might not have good tomatoes but I have to visit them all to see.

If I need 10 per day it's less bad for sure. The trip cost doesn't dominate quite so hard anymore.

If I need 100 per day that's probably optimal because the trip cost is minimal and it's easy to make sure that quantity are good. I can probably still get this from a single source, from whichever vendor has the best tomatoes today.

If I need 1,000 or 10,000 per day I'm screwed. I have to have relationships with multiple suppliers who aggregate tomatoes from a bunch of different sources in order to get the volume. Each of which will have different levels of quality and freshness and whatnot. So now I'm spending a lot of time trying to do what I wish my vendor would do, but which it does not.

Big chains get big by removing the fairly well paid manager/operating partner whose job it is to monitor quality and everything and replacing him/her with a food factory at a remote location. So instead of paying several people real middle class wages they pay several people to just manage the hourly staff. If they can get away with paying $40k/year instead of $80k/year times three people then that's $120k/year in profits per restaurant.

Chilis has 1500 locations and seems to do about $200mm in profits a year. 1500 * $120k = $180mm so it seems like my math isn't totally crazy.

I think what that indicates though is that if you want something that'll really scale well and reach as many people as a nationwide chain you're going to have to make the same compromises that most nationwide chains do in terms of quality or price.

My guess is that there's not some magic bullet that everyone's overlooking.

To be perfectly honest I hope I'm really wrong and that it's possible to get higher quality food for cheaper. It'd be great. That would be a billion dollar company for sure.

Best of luck!
As far as I understand BROP _requires_ the leaking of one or more pointers. If no pointer is leaked, BROP won't work. Additionally, generating ROP gadgets blindly can cause the application to segfault (and in the demo I watched, it did multiple times). Those generating ROP gadgets would have to wait till the application restarts to try again. We use a feature called SEGVGUARD to prevent brute forcing the ASLR implementation. So we have protections in place against BROP.

As a general side note: just because there's a way to defeat a particular security feature doesn't mean the security feature is worthless. If it were worthless, we wouldn't have locks on our cars.
In my opinion, the high-school grading system is one of the best features of SSL Labs. Most people don't have the time or interest to read the RFCs and follow the issues closely. The grading system help them easily understand what is important and what isn't. (Disclosure: I built SSL Labs.)
"... tech industry itself want to own such lousy patents to use against each other."

I recall a story where Steve Jobs called Eric Schmidt from Burning Man and threatened Schmidt with "nuclear war" over Android. What did he threaten him with? Legitimate competition? Guess again.

Junk patents are a perfect vehicle for vexatious litigation.

This is just my biased opinion but the IT industry appears to have no shortage of child-like executives.

World's largest patent troll co-founded by former Microsoft CTO and a licensing lawyer from Intel who coined the term "patent troll". Two individuals who had certainly seen their share of trolling by smaller entities against MSFT and INTC. I believe the lawyer blogged about the problem of "patent trolls" anonymously for while at Intel in the late 90's, but was later "outed".

The industry was aware of this problem very early on.
Ya I totally agree. Especially if a candidate already has a job, and is just casually looking, there is no way they will spend the time.
