When a rocket blows up, it might be the engineers' fault, but you can't blame physics itself. It's not the fault of the field of economics that some bozo lost money and other bozos bailed them out.
People need to embrace the power of dialouging and negotiation instead of violence. Recently there was a jumper on top of a building in SF. Police talked him down by bringing his housecat to the scene.
It starts with the youth. Teach children to express themselves through language instead of acting out. Set a good example!
don't forget all the accounting, it, hr, admin, all the back office stuff that is not directly related to the software, the service, or the adds. those people have a target on their backs. the people who fill out the tps reports.
If you think about it, Econ is like one step removed from logic theory. What does logic theory relate to? Numbers, and which ones are truer or falser. What does Econ relate to? If you think about it, it's basically numbers. With a dollar sign in front? I heard that some professors go back and forth in the two fields, publishing in different journals and such.
wikipedia to the rescue. Based on your comment above, the bolded portion seems to apply to you.
A brogrammer (portmanteau of bro and programmer) is a term thought to describe a macho programmer. A brogrammer might self-describe as a sociable programmer.[1][2] An example sometimes cited is an early Klout hiring advert posted at a Stanford University career fair as "Want to bro down and crush some code? Klout is hiring." The company later described it as a joke and as an unfortunate misstep.[1][3]
The subculture has been criticized by The Atlantic's Jordan Weissmann, who blamed the shrinking proportion of women in programming in the last two decades on the "brogrammer effect".[4] Similar articles in the Atlantic have also advocated strongly for the importance of an egalitarian tech team.[5] According to research published in Fortune, 27% of women cited workplace culture as a reason for leaving jobs in the technology industry.
No one gives a crap about the gender of the person that wrote the code. When I submit a patch to an open source project, no one asks me about my gender. It is irrelevant, and often unknown.
here's the problem. all of silicon valley has a ginormous brogrammer culture, and if you don't fit in with this culture you're not going to succeed, regardless of code merit. it might be true that the culture is equally accepting of both male and female brogrammers. but restricting merit to brogrammers excludes a lot of talented people, the majority of which are likely women.
so the question is not how to include more women, it's how to overcome the brogrammer culture so that all good coders could be accepted, whether or not they are brogrammers?
Imagine if Google tracked your car telematics and automatically showed you ads for auto mechanics when your car breaks down, or driving school if your drive recklessly? They want unlimited power to shows you with relevant ads.
I used to get the sunday times and sit around all morning with coffee and a baguette to read it. I stopped getting LA times delivered to my door because I didn't want the paper accumulating.
I've been trying for the past 2 months to find a decent baguette in LA. It's just not a bread town. Suggestions?
And, unfortunately for NYT, the benefit from being a subscriber are pretty slim. Same annoying, intrusive adds. Same klunk of an interface. Same annoying emails. Most (but certainly not all) sites that have a subscription either drop adverts or markedly tone them down. The NYT team seems a bit clueless.
Adverts for subscribers are way less than non-subscribers, and are basically the ideal static well behaved ads that we want to encourage. More emails, but they are news summaries and alerts and you can opt out. I think nyt does the subscription model pretty well. Source: personal experience.
Sarah called Linus out many years back and Linus responded saying that her code quality is not up to par and then he proceeded to scold the dev that allowed he code into the kernel in the first place.
notable that he only lashed out at her when she called him out on his childish antics, but was fine with her work up to that point.
Funny thing about programming, 80% of programmers are below average because the above average skew everything so much. 20% of the people do 50% of the work. Do this twice and 4% of the people do 25% of the work. You can afford to keep out other programmers.
But if you exclude the other 96% of the programmers, who is going to do 75% of the work?
I dont want to see a return to that period of time, which is what a lot of people making the argument for more regulation dont seem to understand
don't worry, more stringent emissions -> more expensive prices on internal combustion engines, which lowers the cost differential with Model S's. zoom zoom!
I will find it very amusing if a generation of European cars are essentially worthless now that the cheats that made them desirable are gone. German engineers are disproportionately smug in their abilities, but I think this one may have knocked them for a loop.
the fraudulent tests apply to VW, Audi, and Porsche, all owned by the VW group. BMWs and Benzes are fine, no worries, the german smugness will continue.
if you *read* the fact sheet, you see that they were testing multiple car makes, and don't specify from how many OEMs. Mystery vehicle 'C' is a specific make, not a specific OEM.
I read in a news piece about the study that they measured cars from VW and BMW. I wouldn't be surprised if the VW cars are the ones that failed miserably and the BMW cars are the ones that passed or nearly failed.
This is absolutely false, posted by a well-known troll. Vdub cut engine power during car tests to meet emissions standards, then cranked it up to 11 to make it "fun to drive". The real-world emissions were 10-40x above epa standards. This is the unethical, because it relies on fraud to make money sacrificing the environment.
Passenger car emission standards are g/mi and are the same for all fuel types. Epa is exploring ways to combat this type of fraud. But any test they make needs to be objective and reproducible for all vehicles, so it may be hard to eliminate this cheat vector.
My biggest fear is that the rep of all diesel vehicles will be tarnished. This isn't fair; both Mercedes and BMW make diesels that meet all emissions requirements and are fun to drive. Diesel vehicles are more fuel-efficient than gasoline vehicles and are definitely part of the fuel mix for a low carbon future.
That's what she did. Linux lost a (presumably) talented coder because of inept management practices. A good manager knows his team and engages each person in a way that enables them to be most productive. This in turn enables the team to be most successful.
Is Linux successful? Debatable. It has success in limited uses, but has never grown beyond these uses. It is a feature, not a product. Linus accomplished a lot, but what groundbreaking thing has he done in the last 20 years?
Thinking about this more... There's a subtext that shines through all of the FemFreq videos: a love of gaming. Who else but a total gaming nerd could talk for 15 mins about the differences between the pac-man and ms. Pac-man sprites?
Sarkeesian on the other hand responded by playing the victim, demonizing her critics, and using the media to write
ahh, here we go. Responded to what? Responded to violent threats and doxxing. If GG and MRAs hadn't flipped out, she would have been the star adjunct professor in a women's studies department at Oberlyn.
The people who first attacked sarkeesian were nothing but a bunch of butthurt mysoginists that felt threatened by a woman saying things that hurt their self image.

Playboy would do well for women as well, since they like the bunny icon.
I've seen this on the street, but never understood it. Why would women embrace the playboy bunny?

its not a startup, its a publicly traded company with a half billion in revenue. it was a startup, but not in a long time.
don't forget all the accounting, it, hr, admin, all the back office stuff that is not directly related to the software, the service, or the adds. those people have a target on their backs. the people who fill out the tps reports.

what's the diff between a dude and a computer? NSA does all its tracking with a computer, but I still find it creepy.

You don't find it creepy? If they track you in your car then drop ads in your browser at work or insert it into your gmail?

Most news sources just copy pasta others. There are very few direct sources of news. Nyt, wsj, wapo, a couple others.
