Bingo. Let's say that I wanted to argue that -- just for the sake of argument, not necessarily as a true belief -- that discrimination is not a significant problem in tech hiring with respect to diversity, and that the key problem is that there aren't qualified candidates from special-interest-group-in-question applying in the first place, and so the majority of the problem is upstream when you consider tech companies.

Is that something I'm allowed to say, even as a hypothetical? It seems like anyone saying that could be viciously attacked. Yet if we want to reason about the world objectively we need to consider all shades of truth and possibility, not blindly latch on to one particular idea and walk on eggshells while talking about it. The victimhood culture is completely stifling to any kind of discussion about such things.

Now, maybe we shouldn't have discussion about that on HN. I don't know. A lot of them have sure been interesting though. For example, I've found contributions by yummyfajitas particularly thought-provoking to read. He frequently challenges the "popular wisdom" and gets downvoted for it despite making what seem to me like reasonable, fair, respectful arguments that go against the popular activist narrative and victimhood culture. I don't know where I really land on these issues, but I've not been satisfied that there is adequate thoughtful analysis of them in mainstream culture (even arguably on HN).

I am hoping that this victimhood thing, and that attempts at social justice by creating privileges for special interest groups, are phenomena that are ultimately temporary as our society evolves to a greater level of egalitarianism and liberty. That is, I hope that what we're seeing now are the growing pains as old prejudice is put down, as we as society we eventually move past this (in whatever subdivision you care to name). We've seen huge strides for equality in recent years such as with recent US Supreme Court ruling on gay marriage. But it feels like for every two positive strides, we take a step back with victimhood culture or by fighting injustice with more injustice (e.g., changes to Mormon Church doctrine on gays, to pick a totally random example).
Yes. There's a case in UK where they raided a fur farm, and released mink into the wild.

Those animals are very destructive.
I'd still buy the house.

A 30 year mortgage on that $200k house @ 6% is going to cost me $1,199 a month or $431,676 over the life of that mortgage. If the house devalues to $180k my actual out of pocket money spent is $251,676.

If I do a 15 year mortgage under the same conditions I spend $1,688 a month, but my total cash out is down to $303,788 over the life of the loan or $123,788 out of pocket (again assuming the house is worth $180k in the end).

Now lets pretend like I can find rent at $1k a month for something similar. That's unlikely to be true over that period (rents tend to rise at least with inflation), but lets just go with it. Over a 30 year period I will have spent $360,000. That's $108,324 more than my 30 year mortgage and a whopping $236,212 over my 15 year mortgage. That's not even counting the interest deductions I get to take on the mortgage interest I'm paying.

Now I know I'm discounting a bunch of things like property taxes and maintenance on the house (in return I'm giving unrealistically low rent). Those costs for your average house aren't going to be anywhere near the difference in rent...

If you're relatively stable in your life, buying almost always makes more sense than renting because at the end of the day you have to pay someone to live somewhere and some of that might as well end up in your bank account.
You know what's not surprisingly complex? My feeling about how screwed I felt when I got the Macbook and its charger consisted only of straight-to-plug wall wart, power cord to Mac, as opposed to cord-to-wall-wart, wall wart, power cord to Mac. They halved the length of the cord while forcing you to stick your wall wart right into the socket, crowding out other cords if it's on a small power strip. That and the fact that it's not MagSafe anymore.
Looked up Masek. According to his obituary in Physics Today [1], his team at SPEAR "discovered new bound states of a charm and anti-charm quark." Important work, but not a new quark/anti-quark.

At the top tier firms, the creation of slides, charts, etc is usually outsourced to a back office dedicated to the job. I'm not sure if this is still the case at McK, but this office used to be stationed in the developing world...

Consultants would draw and describe what they wanted, goto bed, and awake to slides, charts in their inbox.

Same thing with models. Most firms have "rockstar excel jockeys" (usually analysts/associates/etc.) that are pimped out to project teams to serve this singular role (making models, building business cases, etc.).

Safari has a Reading List which also syncs between devices and downloads the content in case one doesn't have internet access. It may not be an open-source solution and it's only within the Apple ecosystem but at least it's run by a company that is increasingly differentiating itself by how it is NOT monetizing its users' content. For me, that's good enough.

Having said that, I'd love to see an open (or at least extensible) and private bookmark system.
May be it could also be due to the equation being much smaller (E=MC squared) among other theories of Einstein. Its easy to display easy on the back ground, easy to remember.
It's not that intelligent people can't understand basic economics, it's that basic economics isn't enough to explain the situation in San Francisco, so that refrain gets pretty tiresome. Take a look at the responses you got to your comment to understand why "just build more housing" does not get the round of applause you're expecting.

I also encourage you to consider the massive differences between Seattle and SF, geographically, politically, economically, and socially. With all of these factored in, I think you'll better understand why "basic economics" is not enough.
You'll hear the same regarding stock market valuations, as if the magnitude and direction of the broad stock market on any given day is directly indicative of national prosperity, regardless of the absolute level, path (or "trend"), volatility, etc.

Glad to see more kernels in D.
There are a lot more comments now than when you first looked, and I think the viewpoints expressed there go both ways now, so I don't see any issue there.

Non-leftist faculty would bring their own different worldview and perspective, increasing viewpoint diversity. I think it's a fairly logical statement.

And yes, we are accommodating their "fears". Rightfully so. They "fear" overzealous pushback for expressing their dissenting opinions. We should not accommodate those who "fear" opinions that differ from their own. That is not accommodation, that is censorship.

From the post:

> After integrating redux and react-router in my site, I extracted my solution to a new project: redux-simple-router. The goal is simple: let react-router do all the work. They have already developed very elegant APIs for implementing routing components, and you should just use them.

The explicit goal of the project is to take advantage of react-router's existing tools when used with redux, it doesn't make any sense to lament that it depends on react-router.
That is not part, it is ALL that you are paying for.

Of something other than Windows, since Windows will automatically run binaries provided by the firmware in the "Windows Platform Binary Table", which hardware vendors now use to reinstall their malware into a fresh Windows install.

(Of course, if you don't trust the firmware, it can do any number of other terrible things to you as well. And firmware from major hardware vendors has messed with Windows partitions to reinstall malware even without the WPBT.)
I've been buying some ThinkPad chargers on eBay and never encountered outright fraud. When they say genuine, they really are. Otherwise they use different words.
Social contract theory was based on the idea that there was a literal covenant placed by legitimate original owners on the land (claimed by the government), and that this bound all future occupants. This is not correct, as the current governments (of all countries I am aware of) never got their land by gradually gaining consent from all landowners on their desired territory.

Implied social contract theory is more complicated, but the problem with it is that even implied contracts are invalidated if one of the potential parties expressly disavows the implied contract. If implied contract were taken seriously, then any citizen could eliminate any obligations simply by expressing their desire not to be part of the state.
I think attempted crimes should get the same sentence as successful crimes.

And tenants don't? Though I suppose tenants' interests are far more heterogeneous and disperse.
> Non-profits don't pay taxes, so non-profit banks are automatically tax-exempt, right?

Tax-exempt non-profits are a subset of organizations not organized for profit. To be tax-exempt, an organization must not only be not-organized-for-profit, it must also meet the qualifications of one of an enumerated list of categories of tax-exempt non-profits in the Internal Revenue Code.

> Maybe here's another way to formulate my question: why can't a credit union operate as a for-profit bank

Because then it would be a "bank" and not a "credit union".

> but just structure their company so that it's committed to never earning a profit and hence never paying much taxes?

An organization structured like that is a mutual savings bank; as the return of surpluses via demand accounts (the same way a credit union typically returns surpluses) is tax deductible for them, as discussed upthread, it is quite possible to have a bank (rather than a credit union) that returns surpluses to members like a credit union and is effectively untaxed (it looks like a mutual savings bank that didn't retain surplus profits would be untaxed except on things for which it received federal subsidies as a mutual savings bank.)

> Why do credit unions bother to satisfy the legal requirements of being credit unions?

Because the legal requirements for starting a bank are pretty hard, too (whether legitimately to protect people from bad banks, or as protectionism through regulatory capture by incumbents, whatever, the barriers are there), so while the rules are slightly different for credit unions, you don't actually make your job easier by trying to start a bank-to-operate-like-a-credit-union.
A slightly tangential question.

What is the benefit of using react-router (I am assuming on the client side) versus using a server side router that comes with whatever web framework that you are using?
Chargers require a minimum voltage to work. They typically say 85V and might work with lower, but I expect 18V is way too low. I'd also be very nervous about feeding DC into a PFC circuit (which is designed to track the AC waveform) - does anyone know for sure what PFC does if you feed it the wrong frequency? (Someone else asked about 400Hz aircraft power too.)
This is the type of thing where I feel absolutely ashamed of how impotent the US is, despite its superpower status. I find it hard to believe that if we had Andrew Jackson as president today, and Ireland and Bermuda were allowing US companies to shield themselves from paying US taxes, that these tax inversions and avoidance schemes wouldn't be quickly and swiftly resolved with extreme prejudice. Ireland alone is costing the US maybe a hundred billion a year. Our relationship with them is not worth that much. Throw sanctions on them. Make Ireland pay taxes to the US. Don't recognize any IP of any Irish company. Threaten them with bombings. Do something. While it is a "problem" that the US has higher corporate tax rates, that's only an actual problem if the US lacks the will or power to enforce those higher tax rates. And the US has the power. And we look like a joke for letting little shit countries give companies back doors to our tax code.

It's also a reason why I think a defiant blowhard like Donald Trump could make waves as president. I don't think he'd have any problem dropping his sac to break treaties and crack skulls.

>What I can't stand are these "Women in technology" conferences and workshops to "close the (gender) gap". Why? Because if you focus on one group, then you are actively not focusing on another.

That's the problem though. Sometimes you need to give special attention to a group to ensure that their abilities and accomplishments are seen. You may not personally have this problem, but there are members of the "old guard" that do. I surmise solely from this comment that you do your best to ensure that members of your team are the best regardless of physical differences. Again, this is why you aren't inherently the problem.

The problem is people like a professor I had. He has published papers, an incredible work history, and he has rubbed elbows with a few CS people renown for their work. He made off-handed comments like, "First exam is in two weeks. Ladies, please don't wait until the day before to cram." He probably doesn't mean anything malicious by the comment, but that its an off-putting comment nonetheless. Another parallel would be the military. There are lots of females in the military, but one of the gross sentiments among males when encountering staff NCO females is, "How many people did she have to blow to pick up staff?" It's comments like those, some of the "bro culture", and general "CS is for guys" attitude that gives reason for women's conferences.

The majority is always in focus on a grand scale. It's easy to feel like certain people are getting special treatment when Group-X Conference specifically targets a group. The purpose, though admittedly they can miss the mark, is to avoid systematic exclusion or opposition that prevents entry or ignores their contribution.
Not an ignorant question at all! This is actually a subtle problem in switching regulator design: high duty-cycle operation and efficiency. Basically, if you input a voltage very close to the output voltage, the switch part of a switching regulator must be always or near always closed. And, any inefficiencies such as voltage drops in the power path are visible in the output.

Being Apple, I'm sure it has 100% duty cycle operation. However, it's likely not optimized for hat (uncommon case).

[edit] as the other comment points out, my comments forgot about the PFC circuit. But on switchers without this, near output voltage input is possible.
I've been struggling with redux-router all week, and was just about to spend today trying to switch to this project. Glad to hear your experience. :)
Eich's statement in that posting is indeed a valid, mitigating factor in his favor.

He could have done more, by addressing the issue of the TV ads directly. By not doing so, people had reason to believe he was sidestepping that key issue (and that he may not really understand why people were offended by those ads).
Don't understand the title--article is not in first person
I never wrap up my cables, it's still happened to every single one (about 4).
In English, we have several similar words that are derived from this French meaning (putrid is an example). Both words are related to Latin "putere" meaning "to stink". The ultimate root of these words is the Proto-Indo-European root word *pu- "to rot, stink" [1].

It is not clear if the current meaning of the term pee-yoo is derived from this Indo-European root. The first Oxford English Dictionary entry is in 1604, where it shows up with several different spellings: pue, peuh, peugh, pyoo, and pew [2]. The "stretching" of the word into two syllables must have happened sometime later.

I think everybody should contribute to pay fair taxes if they are able.

Why should small companies pay taxes and big companies pay zero? Then the small ones have to pay extra
for those who didnt pay.

There are certain things with globalization that is definitely not good for society, swapping profits for losses and paying zero tax is definitely one of the issues.

These companies take advantage of infrastructure paid by other tax payers road infrastructure, education infrastructure that brings skilled workers for them to employ. So why is that certain organization leech and do not contribute back equally?

I think that the "association" in "Freedom of association" means the right to get with people (associate as in form a group).

The "association" that you speak of is a different concept: figurative association (how people compare or liken groups one to the other).

If you disagree with the sentiment that having 200k more units in SF would reduce prices, then you fail to understand basic economics.

Now, if you are saying that building 200k more units is impractical, I wouldn't disagree. I'm just saying that the solution boils down to 3 options: increasing supply, reducing demand, or both. That's all there is. You can warp natural economics and impose rent control, mandated affordable housing, etc. but nothing but those 3 options will make any real difference.
We could solve this problem by simply offering competitive corporate tax rates and actually attract business to pay re locate here and collect higher total revenues. But of course that isn't "fair" to liberals even though it generates more revenue for the public.

The post you replied to described "bitter, spiteful, demanding, insecure, Us-vs-Them types." I think there are people in various leftist movements that can fairly be described in that way. But I also think it's a good description for anyone who describes a desire for social justice as a cancer.

" The world isn't going to get more protectionist, especially on the heals of TPP."

The problem lies in the fact that the US is all about free trade. They don't want to do that. You can't have it both ways.

Situation one: I'm a US company, expanding abroad. I acquire foreign competitors, and build a global company. I'm taxed on every dollar (profit), since I'm a US (holding) company.

Situation two: I'm a European company, expanding abroad. I acquire a US competitor, and build a global company. Since I'm a foreign company with foreign shareholders, the US can't tax my global income (obviously)

This means a US company will be at a significant disadvantage to a UK/Swedish/Belgian company competing in the same market, because, even if their results are exactly the same, their after tax income will be significantly less.

This also means that a US company bidding for a US competitor will be able to pay less than a foreign company buying up US companies, because they can achieve less/lower (tax) synergies.
There's several links in this thread to a recent UK case where a woman pretended to be a man, and seduced her friend and had sex with that friend.
