What I don't get is why you are so upset about it. Shouldn't you be pissed off that men end up commuting a long way, doing masses of overtime and then dying on the job? Shouldn't you support getting more women into the workplace so that your own working conditions also get better?
I use Spideroak, but the client has similar performance issues. It's at least not Java but it uses an Sqlite database and a hell of a lot of disk/RAM thrashing.
I don't think any of them have a decent client app.
I remember the very next day after Obama was elected in 2008, I was watching CNN and someone said to the effect of: "What we learned last night was that there were not enough racists to beat Obama."
So they were saying fewer people than some pundits expected were racist? As in voters are less racist than assumed?
Even when they are saying you aren't racist, you play the accused-racist card.
Rowhammer lets you steal data from other tasks and the OS. That's why it's so useful for reverse engineering - you can get at protected OS data like the executable code or crypto keys, and use that to develop further exploits.
For example the PS3 security was broken when someone did a glitch attack to allow them access to protected OS memory, dumped the OS and found a USB exploit that could be then used without the glitch. Rowhammer just allows the glitch to be done in software from user-land, where as the original PS3 hack required physically disrupting the memory bus address lines.
This is just arguing over semantics. I would have assumed that someone who was stuck at level 4 for ten years wasn't all that good, otherwise they would have advanced. You are assuming that level 4 has some other meaning that covers a range of people with between zero and a decade or more of experience... In other words the issue is defining what level 4 is.
I dunno, I'm not as smart as I think I am... Or I love the -1 troll mods that always come with these topics...
My fantasy is that someone is actually reading these discussions and might be influenced. I guess at least you are... But occasionally the odd AC will chime in with thanks too, which really makes my day.
Also there is that "drink!" guy, I have to keep his blood-alcohol level up. Wouldn't want him to sober up.
That leads to some very shitty outcomes, especially when the company has power to force workers to work for less and less money. It's the reason why things like the minimum wage and anti-discrimination rules exist.
It's not really surprising no one is willing to define a success condition, otherwise how could you continue the victimhood narrative?
I guess the scientists trying to build practical fusion reactors are just continuing their victimhood narrative since they can'y actually be certain what the final design will be.
However, a society where women have equal opportunity and are free to choose their own life styles has to be considered a "success", at least to those a bit more rational than your typical feminist.
That's the typical feminist definition. What you failed to consider is actually spelt out in the Wikipedia article you linked to earlier. Social factors influencing the choice, so that it isn't free any more.
This is the most basic feminist theory. How can you seriously criticise something don't even understand the basics of?
The issues with lack of investment can be fixed by requiring a certain proportion of the fees to be used for investment, or better yet by forcing the fees on old technology down while keeping them higher for new stuff, creating an incentive to upgrade speeds and infrastructure.
Of course calling it a paradise is ridiculous. That's the point.
Yes, that's why it's a straw feminist argument, it's ridiculous and no reasonable person, nor mainstream or even fringe feminist ideas, actually think that.
I could respond with a straw anti-feminist argument, talking abut how their fantasy of a Handmaid's Tale style "utopia" would suck, but that would be equally silly and flawed. All it does is prevent any kind of useful debate.
That's what you are doing - consciously or not. Trying to stifle debate.
It's great that women there are happy, but that doesn't mean it has reached a post-feminist level where everyone is happy and able to live a fulfilling life free from systemic bias against them.
I'm not sure we even know what that looks like, ultimately.
Local loop unbundling (LLU). The company that owns the infrastructure is required by law to make it available to other ISPs at the same price it charges itself.
LLU has worked in a number of countries. For example in the UK you have a choice of ISPs using BT's copper phone lines. Your ISP of choice installs their own hardware at the local exchange or in the cabinet near your house.
It's far from perfect and there can be issues with the infrastructure owner not investing enough in the network (BT is definitely guilty of that), but at least there is a choice of ISPs. Doesn't just have to be copper phone lines either, it can be used for the cable conduits, for utility poles, pretty much any infrastructure.
That's just blaming "market forces" for your own poor behaviour. If you were desperate enough to hire someone you were willing to offer more money, you should also offer your current employees that much so they don't leave.
"This person negotiated better" isn't a valid excuse either, unless the job is salary negotiation.
The same argument applies to all sorts of things. What is the point of having a PhD in History? We already know pretty much everything useful to know about history, it's just filling in some trivia at this point. Or psychology, that's all unreproducable quackery right? And anything in the arts, I mean we don't need creative people, they don't build anything.
People used to get degrees in Latin, back in the 70s and into the 80s. It was actually pretty popular with employers, a sign of an organized and logical mind apparently. "Useless" degrees are not a new thing.
Unfortunately bone marrow transplant isn't a very viable treatment, because the mortality rate is fairly high and in general it's probably better to just take the existing treatments for HIV. But it provides a hint as to how a future cure may be developed.
Some kind of gene therapy may be feasible once the exact mechanism by which this worked is fully understood.
It's difficult for smaller companies, and the feeling right now is that if the larger ones with hundreds or thousands of employees can make good progress it will filter down eventually.
I'd actually think that Google would have to pay females significantly more than males to attract them, since they are almost certainly represented in the pool of Level 4 Software Engineers much less than men. Rare attributes are more expensive than common attributes.
If the company is a really great place to work they can often pay less, because people are willing to trade a bit of cash for a better work life. I'd take a bit less money if the work was interesting or the terms of employment were good (no sick day quota or booking time off for the doctor, flexible hours, autonomy etc.)
When it comes to women and other underrepresented groups, paying a decent wage is important but so is stuff like having decent policies for parents with young kids or managers who encourage a 37.5 hour week.

I didn't vote for Obama in 2008 so I must be a racist is what was implied.
Only in your head. Keep pushing that victim narrative.
A degree in teaching would be more useful for that. The hard part is teaching kids, not learning school level history curriculum.

What changes specifically are you referring to?

More money for more experience is fine.

The straw part is calling such places feminist paradises.

Let's not use it in cars, cell phones or buildings though. The glass in those things needs replacing from time to time.
Hard to argue with your straw feminist.

Isn't that the point of laws like this? Force them to get opt-in permission to handle your personal data, like the GDPR does.
