The average person just doesn't care, and anyone who tries to tell them otherwise is labelled a conspiracy nut and ignored. The only response they give to finding out that the government knows their exact gps location 24 hours a day and can listen to any and all of their communications is "So what?" Companies like Foursquare exist because people not only don't care about issues like this, but are actively trying to help them.
That's mostly a problem with the terrain geography in the area (trains can't easily cross the grapevine without a tunnel underneath it or a much longer travel time).
Is there a point to this article? I agree that women often get the short end of the stick in the valley (and I personally despise the brogrammer culture that has sprung up), but simply complaining about problems like this won't do anything to make them go away.
The more people who come out saying it's unacceptable the more likely there is to be a paradigm shift, at least, that's how I hope it will go. Another voice to add to those decrying the brogrammer culture is always welcome.
By what he has written, he could also write a similar article about why he doesn't want his daughter to work in NYC (assuming his daughter chooses finance over technology).
There is no real content in this article and more people saying something is unacceptable doesn't necessarily lead to a paradigm shift. Some examples I can think of:
-> Vietnam War (or all the other war) protesters.
-> Women needing to take their husband's or father's permission to step out of their households in countries like Saudi Arabia, etc.
He wanted to state that he has a daughter, and he'll be there to decide where she can work and cannot. This github thing is dirty and full of jerks watched over by old men, and he doesn't want her to touch that. For equality's sake.
The short, uninteresting answer is that it's a work in progress. Initially we built FIFO into our caches because it was easy to build and didn't interact badly with flash disk craziness (write amplification specifically). You can read more about our old caching system mcdipper at https://www.facebook.com/notes/facebook-engineering/mcdipper...
I assume (hope) it would be more like Blizzard's system for Starcraft, which only lets you see the real names of friends that you add using an email address (and if they accept). Showing a person's real name to everyone in game just sounds insane.
This is exactly how the PS4 real name system works. You have to add a friend as a "real name" friend, and they have to add you back with the same permissions. Just adding someone as a friend doesn't grant them permission to see your real name.
