I do not believe this is true. Please cite your sources.

What did you discover that was shocking?

System76 maybe? They are expensive, but you'll likely be able to build exactly what you want.

It was probably a government contract.

The article was published on SEPT. 1, 2013.

I personally only play chess online against humans. It looks like you can only play against computers. Is there a way to play against other people?

You have had over 1 million downloads. What sort of revenue does the app make per month?

What is monthly revenue like?

Correlation != causation. Might it be possible that women who play the woman card are not as capable as those who let their code speak for their ability?

>women may in fact be better coders

How can someone make such a blanket statement like that with so many confounding variables. Do you think it possible that funding sources and expected (and socially acceptable) results might have something to do with the conclusion these sorts of studies come to? Do you think there are grants available for researchers who would interpret this data differently?

I would argue that it is. There are plenty of cases where laws are unjust and should be broken. Here's an example:

>Persecuted individuals are subject to surveillance by the "religious police," harassment, prolonged detention, mistreatment, torture, and execution.

What industries understand the value of tech?

PayPal is just as bad in my experience. I was sent pirated software. They ruled against me and let the scammer keep the money.

>the one in December did take them offline for a few hours

That is a bit of an understatement. Our servers were down every couple of hours for a week, and the attack bounced around to pretty much all of their datacenters.

This wasn't something recent was it? Which datacenter?

I'd be ok with paying twice what I'm currently paying if they could solve this problem. We're with Linode because it would cost us about 10x as much to run on AWS, and we can't justify that.

How did you set it up to failover? Our MySQL database is very large, and I'm not sure of the best way to ensure it is up to date on another host.

>It's just as important that we have a gender balance in coal miners (and nurses and teachers and prison inmates) as it is for software developers.

Or maybe we should stop preoccupying ourselves with this equality of outcome nonsense because in a free market people are allowed to choose their own career paths.

Improve. Yes. I for one am going to lobby the government to provide early training for young women who might be interested in coal mining. Hopefully we can reduce the number of men in coal mining in favor of more disadvantaged groups who are less interested in back breaking labor.

There is nothing stopping anybody with an Internet connection and a little bit of curiosity from learning to code. The computer doesn't care about your race or gender.

This issue strikes a chord with me because I spent years programming while others called me a nerd. Now that my skills are useful people claim I must be doing well because of my sex and skin color.

Why is it a problem? I personally think it's a problem that there are so few women coal miners. Clearly this is a sign of deeper societal problems. We need to get women interested in coal mining at a younger age to help solve the gender gap in coal mining. Once we solve that we can tackle diversity in professional basketball and hockey. Obviously more white and Asians should be in the NBA and more blacks in the NHL. That the ethnic breakdown of these particular sports doesn't match up with my personal beliefs can only mean one thing: everyone is racist.

He is likely referring to hard drugs of some sort. "Using" connotes methamphetamines or heroin.

>He'll tell you not to violate TOS (in other words don't harass people). This should be common sense.

It would be common sense if the ToS weren't selectively enforced based on how far one strays from political opinions that Twitter finds acceptable.

In my example it would be my friend's telepresence robot that I gave him.

It sounds like the same reasoning could not be applied if it was client side javascript (or an app) that interacted with Facebook and then sent information back to Power Ventures. I could ask my friends to go inside a Wal-Mart and send me pictures of it even if I were given a formal trespass warning.

No it isn't. There is no substance in this article. "Theranos is different in that it's run by a woman." It's a PR piece.

How about because they serve hundred of terabytes of our images for $20/month? It has been well worth the money.

You don't need a keyboard. Click on the comments link and then click on the link marked "web" at the top of the page in the comments. There is a search link.

You can bypass the paywall for most of them by clicking the web link and visiting from Google search results.

Yes, it's the standard package for "BigLaw." There used to be a database on Greedy Associates that showed the salary progression for each firm, but I can't seem to find it. They tend to move in lockstep with each other.

Graduates of the top 14 schools per US News and World Report rankings feed into these jobs. Some at lower ranked tier 1 schools end up in big law, but they are typically at the top of the class. I would bet that not a single student of the law school mentioned in the article ended up in with a $160k starting salary.

This was the best salary survey I could find: http://www.lawcrossing.com/article/900045279/1st-Year-Salari...
