Was I the only disappointed that the game play description didn't include having to use an "Ok to go!!!" audio command to start each mission?
I think they made the right decision. I've seen way too many open source projects run by academics die a sudden death when the two or three professors that were maintaining them decide they didn't want to do it anymore…
I'm curious what HN readers think the yearly UBI would be (in US dollars) if it were actually implemented?
Good night gents.
I'm not concerned about how often it happens. I'm concerned about the potential for it to happen. The Richard's example shows that potential. Your insistence on more examples as some metric of proof is none of my…
What are some others? Why is the one example not enough to prove my point? I could name a hundred and you still wouldn't be happy. Why bother.
Thank you for taking the time to address my concern. I'm glad we both think it's an important issue in spite of what some other commenters have said.
I'm doing nothing of the sort. The code of conduct was clearly cited as one of the steps taken. I have issue with that step. And I have as much right to comment here as you do. You're free to ignore me. Please do.
Can you cite any examples of people who have been silenced or shamed by a conference harrassment code? You mean besides the Adria Richard's example? At a professional conference, it should not be that hard to control…
Ah in gallops tptacek on his trusty steed. Dead horse indeed. As usual, any submission concerning improving the ratio of women to men in our industry immediately becomes a coatrack for digs about "radfem". Just because…
Harassment includes verbal comments that reinforce social structures of domination related to gender, gender identity and >expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, age, religion,…
Fine. You could have made that point without bringing his race, class or gender into your argument.
So if Evan Speigels had been female, black and poor (i.e. not privileged) he would have taken the money and that would have been the right thing to do? Why because people without privilege are incapable of being stupid…
Ok but if your problem is that no one will look at your resume because you haven't worked in five years surely one of these jobs will solve that at the very least.
I'd love to see their business plan. Academics on the whole are not a good demo for advertising and don't want to pay for anything related to their jobs/research unless they have absolutely no other choice. How are they…
So? If his argument for why this is good is that it's "killer" and from "legendary engineers" then he deserves it.

Depends on the record you're looking at. If you look at the temperature records from ice cores you can see that the entire 21st century has so far been within the historical range at this point in the cycle.…
-ism implies institutional bias of a society Sexism/racism et al. can exist outside of institutions no? "Hate crimes" for instance clearly do not involve any recognizable institutions yet clearly involve an -ism of some…
But the author is stating that "woman are x" by stating they bring more "cognitive diversity" to a team. In order for this to be true, woman in fact "must" approach problems differently than men or there would be no…
I would think it's controversial when applied to engineering. This implies that the basic tools of software development are somehow viewed/used differently by people of various genders/ethnicities/etc... solely because…
Want cognitively diverse teams? It’s not as simple as hiring more female technologists. I'm sorry, is the author implying that men and women approach engineering problems differently (i.e. they think differently)? Is…
Are there really that many dev teams that use Mercurial and git at the same time? Honest question....
I think the real imposters are the developers who act like they know what they are doing!
Agreed. As someone who does a lot of biz dev, I would be thrilled if a prospective partner was this honest with me.
