This is important. Because, assuming the advertising industry is going to self-destruct tomorrow morning, am I going to experience a slower web if I let my add-on activated, and thus letting an opportunity for the ads to reappear later?
It's demonstrably true that, while men and women are, on average, about the same in cognitive abilities, it's also true that the distributions are not the same. There are much bigger "tails" for men[2] - you've got more men at the top end of the spectrum, and also more men at the absolute bottom of the spectrum[1].

By the way, to clarify the other comment I just made, the Democrats really are collectivist, because they favor socialized medicine, education, high redistribution of wealth, and arbitrary amounts of regulation. Yes, it's true that they haven't helped the homeless and that some benefits accrue to elites (e.g. you mention the finance sector).

That is what normally happens when one tries to implement collectivism. People think that places like Sweden and Germany are not corrupt like this, and that may be true, but the U.S. is really a third-world country (like Latin America), not like Germany or Sweden---just with a minority Anglo-Saxon-style pro-liberty subculture layered on top. So of course collectivism gets implemented in a much more corrupt way than what might "theoretically" be possible.

Also, I recognize that the mainstream Democrats want to go towards even more collectivism more slowly than Warren or Sanders or a "true socialist." And may not want as pure of a form. So there is a difference, but it's just a difference of degree. Also, it's true that the Democrats don't have a coherent ideology, but nonetheless, they still clearly represent collectivism and move in a collectivist direction. And I agree that they are not that different from most Republicans. Most Republicans concede having a welfare state and just want to do it more slowly and to a lesser degree, which, again, is just a difference in degree, not quality. The Republicans are not defenders of individualism; they do not really oppose collectivism; they just create temporary setbacks for Democrats.

edit: This is just to clarify where I am so you can answer the other comment (if you want), not to argue.

Also, I just want to say, since I started writing these two comments, I lost 12 karma all at once, so apparently somebody just went through and downvoted all my recent comments (all of which were in positive territory before, and none of them are inflammatory). If an admin sees this, it would be nice if you could ban whoever is doing that.
> longjmp() and setjmp() are tricky. They’re obscure, can give rise to subtle bugs, are highly platform-specific, and, if abused, will probably lead to awfully confusing code

Actually, being part of the ISO C standard, they are not platform-specific. Otherwise, just use C++ where destructors take care of cleanup when an exception is thrown.

First, a hint about where I'm coming from: http://lesswrong.com/lw/r5/the_quantum_physics_sequence/ (I recommend you read the whole thing, it's interesting, insightful, and even fun.)

We already agree that there is no experimental difference between collapse/Copehagen interpretation, and the Many Worlds interpretation. In the name of what are you demanding experimental evidence for one interpretation, and not the other?

> Infinite uncountable infinities of universes is not parsimonious.

You need to remember that those universes are in no way postulated. They are derived —from the equations. So you can't use that impressive infinity to claim that the Many World interpretation would somehow have a higher Kolmogorov complexity than Copenhagen.

Many Worlds just takes the equations and run with them. It's Copenhagen that makes additional assumptions by manipulating the results of the equations: They're not real, or there's a collapse… Either way, that's an additional hypothesis on top of those equations (which by the way have massive amounts of experimental evidence behind them, and are accepted by everyone as the current best guess). That additional hypothesis is not very parsimonious, don't you think?

(You have to remember how Occam's razor really works. From the Wikipedia, "The principle states that among competing hypotheses that predict equally well, the one with the fewest assumptions should be selected." As a simple matter of fact, Many Worlds makes strictly fewer assumptions than Copenhagen. Parsimony is not measured by the size of the universe predicted by the theory. Parsimony is measured by the number of core assumptions. Not the same thing at all.)

To get a feel of how utterly ridiculous collapse postulates are (in 20/20 hindsight, I don't want to make fun of physicists), I must quote Eliezer Yudkowsky: http://lesswrong.com/lw/q6/collapse_postulates/

If collapse actually worked the way its adherents say it does, it would be:

1. The only non-linear evolution in all of quantum mechanics.

2. The only non-unitary evolution in all of quantum mechanics.

3. The only non-differentiable (in fact, discontinuous) phenomenon in all of quantum mechanics.

4. The only phenomenon in all of quantum mechanics that is non-local in the configuration space.

5. The only phenomenon in all of physics that violates CPT symmetry.

6. The only phenomenon in all of physics that violates Liouville's Theorem (has a many-to-one mapping from initial conditions to outcomes).

7. The only phenomenon in all of physics that is acausal / non-deterministic / inherently random.

8. The only phenomenon in all of physics that is non-local in spacetime and propagates an influence faster than light.

Maybe I'm missing a lot of the important media, but I haven't seen what you're describing. Which are the media outlets where you're seeing a fight and push for pretending that biological differences don't exist? Even the original article states that there are differences. Could you provide some examples so that I can see what you're seeing?

Most reasonable people that I know, of either gender, understand that the average man is physically stronger than the average woman. That's a clear distinction. But, lots of other traits are not clear at all, even though they are implied without good evidence. And, in most or all cases there is enough overlap in ability (e.g. the strongest woman is much stronger than the weakest man)

As others mention, the issue of gender rights that I see is one of opportunity and access. The question that's raised is whether the culture imposes biases, implicit restrictions and even punishments when there should be none.
What would make things /really/ fast is optimizing an ad based around what brought a person to the page, rather than anything in particular about that person.

In other words, use referers to figure out if they came in based on keywords from a search engine (ads targeted more towards that, but still biased to the page viewed) or otherwise just based on the content of the page.

That's it; the first can be quickly memoised across a set of common terms for a page (and while doing so the faster content of page based results can be served instead).

No more silly tracking, just showing what someone is likely to be interested in at that moment.

> not just by laws but by hidden biases which translate to social pressure.

The fallacy with this line of thinking is that the 'hidden bias' is being determined by someone with 'hidden bias' which translates to 'social pressure'. Its completely subjective. Its an accusation based on a belief not a set of external facts. You can not be free of 'hidden bias' any more then you can be free of self conciousness. You are protected from certain forms of 'discrimination' under the law. The burden of proof for 'hidden bias' is simply not attainable by any standard of law.

Its not a simple equilibrium as you make out to be. No one at this point can predict what automation will do to the workforce.

I find it hyperbolic that off all people programmers are most paranoid of automation. Did commodity C compiler make compiler designer obsolete ?

what will happen is productivity is going to shoot up for your average person on a per dollar basis.

A bioinformatician can outproduce 10 farmers , etc.

There is no shortage of things to do on the planet. There are still 3.5 billion people living on 10 dollars a day, have some perspective.

We can take about the robotic dystopian future when we have succefully homed,clothed and fed every person on the planet. Also provide free healthcare for everyone. I can go on but this terrible paranoia about automation needs to stop before you let animalistic emotions stop progression of science and technology.
Yep. This is a great replacement for the "gun truck" version of the HMMWV, but there are numerous other variations. Cargo, medical, commo, mechanics, air defense, and doubtless many others I missed all have there own heavily customized HMMWV variants. Surely the military has plans for those as well?

As a former ambulance driver, the only thing this platform seems to offer is better armor and suspension. All of the other features seem largely useless in an ambulance version of this vehicle. I wonder if the military will build variants based on it anyway or go for a separate "utility" platform.
Speaking of gender equality, neither he/she nor she/he (though I've been told by those who've focused on that in college that both are correct) is equal. True equality is the use of singular they; though they is really a set of any (unspecified) size.
I wish I could bury it under that rug, but such views are held quite strongly by the apparently educated and "literate" class. Those who do not hold on to such beliefs are typically labelled "communist", "unpatriotic" or some such.

No, a lament for the state of historical education in the US. To which I agree with people like Howard Zinn etc.

Second, It's well known that Japan didn't want an "unconditional surrender". It was a surrender nonetheless, of an exhausted nation, with some provisions mainly to have the emperor save face.

Instead the US burn alive 200.000+ men, women and children, in order to test their new toys and send a message to Japan.

(Note that even if any kind of surrender was off the table, using a nuclear bomb on a war, and on civilian targets nonetheless, is still Nazi-level war criminality).

Not necessarily because there will often be options that are comparable, where it boils down to a toss of a coin which one to recommend. Done well, such a service will give you great results, but they'll mine their data and see that when people ask for "best X in Y" results A and B give equal satisfaction, and ask both A and B to bid for how much to prefer one over the other when they rank equally.

There's a lot of vitriol between people who practice different styles, with a lot of guys from traditional styles (karate, tae kwon do, kung fu, etc.) claiming combat sports are worthless in a Real Fight (TM) because it's just competition. Completely inaccurate in my experience - people who compete in full-contact combat sports will almost always beat the people who don't, other things being equal. The techniques don't have to be lethal to completely destroy your opponent, and BJJ was made for choking people out or breaking their limbs so badly they literally cannot continue the fight. Not to mention there's a plethora of illegal techniques ranging from neck cranks to spinal locks, removed from competition because they're far too dangerous and can kill or paralyze you. The best tournament practitioners are a lot more likely to know these and be able to apply them than people who sit around theorizing about them.

But there's still a lot of big ego'd guys who can't fight and like to impress and intimidate people with statements like, "This technique is far too dangerous for me to actually demonstrate, but I could use it to destroy sport fighters any time I wanted! Don't make me hurt you to prove it." It's a lot of BS, and easier to perpetuate because grapplers can still beat you without hurting you that bad, whereas if you challenge a boxer and he caves your face in people don't get right up and say, "One more try, I can do better next time!"

One of my best MA memories was getting my ass kicked in 5 seconds by a guy half my size who was only using one arm because the other was broken in a recent grappling tournament. Don't fall into the "combat sports aren't real" mentality. BJJ, judo, and wrestling guys will mess you up if you're not trained in how to defend against them.

I try to use singular "they" whenever it doesn't sound utterly awkward or doesn't make sentence ambiguous (e.g. "OP went to see the group but they're late"). But singular they is a relatively new concept for me (I haven't heard of it when I was first learning English), so I sometimes default to he/she when writing quickly.
Ah, that's a very interesting point - and I'd agree with it from personal experience, to a certain extent.

My own consumption of media seems to be split between new and old at the moment. I've bought an unusually large number of new games this year, but that number is still, I think, 2.

Of course games have a further problem I didn't have time to get into in this article: the better the game, the longer time most people will spend on it compared to other games. That means that as game quality goes up, the number of games consumed a year will tend to go down.

And if an absolute phenomenon like WoW or Minecraft arrives, it nukes the industry for everyone else for a year...
> Measuring peak CPU is very, very stupid. The best Ad Blocker should have near 100% CPU but for an extremely short amount of time.

You'd be surprised about how many people perceive this as a bad thing. I've more than once had tickets from customers complaining about high CPU usage under load scenarios. Can't wait to see what journalists make of Servo (which, if up to scratch, will hopefully peg CPU near 100% for a brief period).

However, higher CPU usage associated with longer response times is a different story entirely.

> it's actually closer to being average CPU because task manager samples over a period.

Forget about that: they're even using the wrong tool. Perfmon should have been used. Eyeballing it is completely useless.

There will be one somewhere (even though there are already a great many PHP projects covering similar use cases) though PHP isn't exactly a show-off platform these days so you'll not see it advertised loudly as "GHOST IN PHP!".

I'm quite suspicious about your statement that your side is supported by "such a huge body of evidence", whereas "the other side base their arguments on [...] a gut feeling".

I think from that we can safely assume that you (at best) massively overstate your position and massively understate your opponents.

>It could be argued that once a person learns these concepts they are given a better means of reasoning about programs than other languages,

This was my challenge. Give concrete examples where you reason about programs better while programming because of the category theory. People have been arguing this for years without any concrete examples. I'm a math person and I would really like to use category theory and mathematical intuition when programming.

I argue that there is very little usable structure for reasoning for the programmers after the definitions. There is no buildup of structure that is common when mathematics is used effectively. The gain from math is very small or nonexistent.

Yes, but if you accept those two statements as true, then it follows that:

A lot of people seem to have trouble with accepting that last thing.

Obviously, I'm just pointing out the fact that there are different groups of users for both products and one group isn't likely to be influenced by how others use the trademarked goods. Android has common people for its clientele, Grsecurity has security professionals that will judge it based on its intrinsic merit and not on what some subsidiary of Intel once did with it. Grsecurity de facto doesn't need to be defended, even if de jure they are entitled to the protection. That's why this is nothing but a money grab, what bothers me though is that they try to package it into something that it is not.
