They were at a conference. It's pretty hard to hide your gender when you meet people in person, face to face, or stand on a stage.
Your argument reminds me of the argument for wearing the burka. Don't complain about men's behaviour, just cover your body and avoid doing anything to make them horny like showing me then your eyes. If bad things happen it's your fault for not covering up enough and ramming your gender in men's faces.
This climate is mostly just people like you complaining about it.
This story is a great example. Genuine complaint, no one tried to blame all men or the open source community or anyone other than the specific perpetrators and the organisers for not tackling it.
Yet here you are, trying to make it about you and complaining about some straw misandrist. It's literally just in your head.
Why does this story make you feel shame? They just complained about it happening, which is perfectly reasonable and clearly not intended to shame the entire community... Yet you feel it's shaming.
It's it an attempt to silence the complaints by misrepresenting them? Or perhaps you want to trick people into thinking they are being attacked in order to enjoy a collective defence.
Are you really suggesting that the people who created these wifi networks are just worried about the Code of Conduct that didn't exist (it says so right in the summary)?
Would be more convincing if you provided links to these headlines. Of course, if you did that you might find they don't exist, or that we quickly debunk them.
Come on Mashiki, we know you keep lists of copy/paste links for when it suits you to post them.
My advice is to just ignore the people saying things like "all men", and just assume that when people say "men" they are just being a little careless or talking with previously established context. It's not always the case, but you would be surprised how often it is and you end up having an engaging, interesting debate rather than hung up on trolls and slightly poor choice of words.
Does TFA imply that it was the official hotspots? The impression I get from the summary suggests it was ad-hoc networks, as you suggest.
It's really sad how some guys feel so threatened by women wanting to write software. And I do mean sad, both for the women affected and for the guys who clearly have some pretty deep issues of their own.
Basically very young children don't see the world the way adults do, they don't process information in the same way. That's why these videos are so effective, despite being literal nonsense. They prey on the weaknesses of undeveloped minds, in a way that exploits children by feeding them a series of bizarre and kinda disturbing videos.
Both of these plans are stupid which is why no one serious is suggesting them.
Using one really small, low capacity type of wind turbine is obviously silly. As silly as building 2,600 new reactors and associated infrastructure/waste storage and disposal. The solution will be a mixture of sources.
This isn't really a political issue, it's to do with the way that YouTube's algorithms decide what to suggest.
YouTube doesn't just look at the ratio of thumbs up and thumbs down votes, it looks at the amount of "interaction" the video gets. Down votes count as interaction. Watching the whole video counts as interaction, watching 10 seconds of the video counts as (less) interaction. Commenting counts as interaction.
The problem with this is that it tends to push conspiracy theories and other nonsense to the top. The more people argue about it, the more they give it thumbs down and debunk it in the comments, the more visible it becomes.
YouTube isn't unique in this respect of course. It's well understood that social media amplifies stupid. But YouTube is unlike most other social media because it appeals to people who find reading hard or are convinced by an actual person on screen telling them something.
Android "fragmentation" is a non-issue. Even if every Android phone was somehow running the exact same version of the OS, they would still vary greatly in terms of features and performance. Fingerprint sensor or not, SD card or not, phone or non-cellular tablet, quad core or octa core etc.
By that metric, Apple phones are fragmented as well.
In addition, older versions of Android DO get updates and security patches via the Play Store. Years ago Google started moving more and more functionality out into libraries that can be updated even if the manufacturer doesn't offer OS upgrades any more. This has proven to be effective.
Manufacturers are a little slow to update to Oreo, but keep in mind that they usually offer their own additional features that Oreo either replicates or just doesn't have anyway. So for example Samsung ships a bunch of Samsung apps and features like their Bixby voice assistant, which gets updates and new features. So it's not like owners of those phones get nothing, they just chose the Samsung/HTC/OnePlus ecosystem and features over the Google Pixel raw Android experience.
This variety and lack of a monoculture has spurred a lot of innovation as manufacturers try to differentiate their products. This is a good thing.
The other big problem is that the Saturn V was designed in English measurement units. These days most serious engineering is done in metric. So even updating the design with some newer parts, or basing a new rocket on it, would require a lot of work just to deal with the units and converting paper designs to digital.
Take it all up in one go on a massive rocket, or take it up in parts on multiple smaller and cheaper rockets.
The massive rocket means you don't have to do in-orbit rendezvous and assembly. Multiple smaller rockets means a single failure is less costly, and with SpaceX they can potentially be re-used to reduce costs even further... But your astronauts better like IKEA furniture.
Lavabit shutting down denied the government any further access to user's emails and stopped them having to run a known insecure service. Shutting down Cloudflare would do nothing to negatively effect the court of ACS and nothing to prevent Cloudflare having to violate user's privacy.
I'm surprised it booted so fast. I used one of the Alpha versions of NT (v3?) which was pretty slow, but Server was far worse. Had one machine doing Lotus that took 30 minutes to reboot, although that might have been IBM's fault.
Fingerprint reader on the back is best anyway. Of more interest is the folding screen that Samsung just teased. A phone that folds out into a tablet...
Free to play games are designed to be additive so you pay. One common technique is to dangle rewards in front of the player but make them wait a long time if they don't pay.
Say what you like about the players, but the companies developing these games put a huge amount of effort into making them addictive. Like gambling sites do a lot of R&D figuring out how to be more addictive.
You know how some ads try to look like the download button or make you swipe with a fake hair on the display? Or how some online shops sneak stuff into your basket or sign you up for a subscription that looks like a one off payment?
Or how they offer multiple spam sign ups, some opt in and some opt out so that you can't just untick/tick everything?

A good long awkward silence when someone says that sort of thing is pretty effective.
They did my girlfriend's battery for free, because we complained.

In this case the concern is probably justified. Folding Ideas covered it in a great video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

that passing 1% is a milestone?
No.

Will it go faster than the Apollo era moon buggy though?
Maybe they could claim fastest production car.

The two situations are really quite different.

Obviously they pay more, having saved money on bandwidth and servers.

Addiction is a business model.

Have you ever heard of the power of default?
That's the thin end of the design ethics wedge.
I agree with all that. You put it better than I did.
Maybe, but the I've UAC prompt is per process and you probably don't want to elevate the main Explorer one.
