I resent your comment about immigrants, it comes off as extremely racist.

I'm a woman, My brother and I are first generation korean-american developers, and were trained by our father to be computer literate, so we could get jobs. He taught us life isn't easy.

We experienced some racism, low ball offers,horrible working conditions.Both of our working circumstances don't seem that different then yours.

But it's crystal clear to me a lot of the working conditions for developers just suck in general. My brother and a few of his friends attempted suicide, he worked in silicon valley for a startup, his friends worked all over the place. He was bullied and threatened by his boss. My father had to drag my brother back home on the east coast to take care of him. My brother still isn't the same even years later.

Hell, Just listen to some of the horror stories from amazon.

As for the danger part. It sounds like men are socially forced to accept danger and risk, I doubt most men really want to do it, but they are forced to be providers while us women are socially forced to be caretakers.

Yea, my HR department has it in our contract. My last place had it so no couples were allowed in the same department.

It's honestly hard to tell sometimes. People are emotionally complex, and life is messy. But there is a reason office romances typically have HR rules in a lot of companies.

I think you need an editor with notes about HR approved behavior too, in case some given advice is less than good.

Yea I was thinking about that. I think if their advice was screened by HR, it might be a lot more valuable for guys.

I agree. This is bad advice. If the whole team is going, sure, but as a woman this sounds like the setup to a date.

Really hope guys reading this article, understand a lot of women are different, and to take what they are saying with a grain of salt.

I have three that are collecting dust. I had plans to build a supergamegirl, but with tablets so cheap, and work so busy . . .my ambitions for the pi's just died.

I also ended up buying a 50 dollar ubuntu intel computer stick which was great, and replaced the raspberry pi for emulation.

I have a friend who has a 3d printer and tons of electrical engineering gear, who just loves his, and does tons of products with them.

Are you suggesting endocrine disruptors are affecting mental health ? That would be an interesting study. Especially since we have research suggesting the gut(microbiome) plays a role in mental health.

Do you think South Korea will intervene ?

Wow, Does anyone know what this means for the dry baltic index. A bunch of shipping companies look like they are pretty close themselves to bankruptcy.

precedent has to be set somewhere.

They probably will be next.

I can't say I approve of corporate or tax inversion, and I'm not sure what to think of this article. I've read countless articles saying the opposite http://www.theverge.com/2016/5/5/11604704/apple-tax-evasion-...

This is a bad sign. I hope its not another sign of a bubble.

Wow that's crazy. It could explain why certain viruses affect people and not others. The afflicted could have latent viral compatible genes in their personal genomes. It'll be really interesting what this means for vaccines.

Yet we still have strong pushes from the government on the radical TPP and TTIP. I fear they want to update the law to catch up with technology but not in pro-consumer or pro-citizen way.

I thought a significant portion of north africans are genetically arab.

Or genetic engineering via crispr and designer babies.

I think you nailed it. I made friends in college, but everyone got married in their late twenties, and friendships just sort of died.

Sigh. I wish I could explain this better to my business managers who read PopSci like this, and try to remold the business to follow them.

Maybe. I was a little surprised at the amount of people I know who are watching the Olympics via less than legal means simply because NBC's coverage and commentary were terrible .

Thanks didn't know about that, and podcast link is super great!

That's good point about voting. After the Brexit, I heard a lot of journalists say old people shouldn't vote, but never thought to consider if young people should either.

I wanted to be an artist. It often kills me I couldn't follow my dreams, but I often looks back and I'm thankful I choose to follow a profession for job security rather then wishful thinking. I think it was a strong side effect of growing up in poor household.

If this is true, this is a real nightmare for workers in the knowledge economy. One of my biggest fears is contagious virus that attacks brain neurons.

It would cause alot of anger. I hear a lot of hatred at work towards the baby boomers about everything

It looks like all the videos have been uploaded 30ish. I really wish there were more technical videos, most of the nontechnical videos I've heard before.

The real value of djangocon to me was getting technical advice for hard problems at work, usually ones I never even saw coming.

I can't say I like the direction this djangocon took.

I agree for the most part, but I also think we want somebody not only to control, but to blame for failure.

For the poorer hackernews users. some of those books are free online anyways.
