I'm not a native english speaker so my use of the language is more basic than yours.

But yes I agree, if a stranger is for some reason standing very close behind me in an unexpected situation (in public transportation it would be okay) then of course there would be a fear response directly leading to either moving away from that person or showing aggression. (fight or flight)

But I don't believe that this fear is wrong on my part and that I should do something about it.

It is unexpected and unwanted behaviour in our Western societies and this person should be aware of this and behave appropriately. If the person does not then he/she either doesn't know what our social rules are (can be dangerous) or something is wrong with that person (also dangerous)

For example: I am at a party and go home at night through some lonely street, in front of me (10 meters or so) there is some unknown women going the same way. The appropriate thing to do is to keep more distance so she is not afraid, even though I don't have any intentions of harming anyone. (but she cannot know this, I'm a stranger)

What do you propose how she should feel if for some reason a person would not keep a safe distance? Is she wrong if she is afraid in such a situation? I don't think so.

Sometimes rules matter.

When things are going well, risk takers and rule breakers are heroes. When things start going downhill, they're the first ones with arrows in their backs.

(not excusing giving liar loans to strippers... go see The Big Short... splitting hairs but I think in some ways Moody's and MBIA and AIG and were more corrupt because their job was to keep people honest and reduce risk, instead of engaging in regulatory arbitrage, financial shenanigans to let people ramp up risk. Bear Stearns you sort of expected to be riverboat gamblers. They were the guys who took theglobe.com public when Goldman and Morgan Stanley laughed. Unlike Lehman they were in good enough shape to get taken over by a TBTF monstrosity to JPM's ongoing benefit, their takeover didn't bring down the system, and they lost mostly all their own money. left as an exercise, whether behavior towards women, civility etc. are better or worse in startups. )

> I originally saw the index as an obstacle to the commit model I'd gotten used to from subversion. Today, I find it a critical part of git's culture of making small commits with one logical change each.

How is this different from mercurial ? I know that the latter doesn't have the index, but is there any practical difference from the point of view of the user ? In Mercurial you can easily commit a subset of the files, or even a part of a file if you use the record extension.

>This is what happens when frat boys get jobs. I think one piece of the puzzle is fostering less misogynistic environments in college, before these dudes enter the workforce.

Considering how long it took us to learn the societal lessons of how wrong it was to oppress the chosen lifestyles of the gay and lesbian community, the black community and the Jewish community, I'd be surprised you'd be so keen to start institutionally crushing someone else's chosen lifestyle simply because it distresses you to be around them. Live and let live and it takes all sorts to make the world goes both ways.
Seems that in my 100+ books, no publisher could be bothered.

Oh, well. Time to get another bookshelf…
I get that explanation for books like Red Storm Rising.

At some point it flipped. Probably around the "Sum of All Fears" era. Around then he started publishing non-fictiony books "Submarine", "Armored Cavalry", "Fighter Wing" that were basically guided tours.

Much of Cambridge and Somerville are parallel street parking only, which makes it impractical to change your brakes with street traffic passing by.

(If the off-street parking that you have is required by zoning, as opposed to optional, you are prohibited by Zoning article 6.21 from doing non-emergency repairs in such a space. This applies mostly to condo and apartment developments, and not to most single-family residences.)
I was replying on a phone (and am doing so again now), and regrettably left out a few details. First, I was replying both to your comment and to the parent comment. Second, I have not been diagnosed with SAD, but I do have a delayed/non-24h sleep cycle that is exacerbated by the short, cloudy, pollution-heavy winter days where I live.

My main objection to rsync's comment was the flippant dismissal of people with actually diagnosed depression ("not interesting" were the exact words).

In response to your present comment, I would say that people who find themselves trying to invent solutions to their problems have likely already found the medical establisment to be less than helpful.
I can't help but think of a potentially horrifying black market that preys on the young and healthy, who's clients are old and rich.
By disallowing mandatory arbitration, you are essentially putting a substantial risk premium on the deal (and undiversified entities will probably have to buy insurance for it). This extra cost is likely to be reflected in reduced demand (i.e. less hiring) or reduced price (or salary); I am not sure this is a desirable policy.

In any case, isn't this whole problem caused by an ineffective, slow, costly, and unpredictable legal system? Would it not be better to fix the courts, so that people actually wanted to use them?

I've heard the stories of investors hitting on female founders, and they're just as disturbing to me as they are to you. Unsurprising, but still incredibly unprofessional.

Though I'm also unsurprised that looks are mentioned about when males talk about female founders. I don't think it's meant maliciously, it's an error of habit. There's probably a purpose built part of my brain just of evaluating womens looks, and that bubbles up. But calling it out seems appropriate, it has little to do with the discussion.

But investors investing less into female founders despite them being less likely to be swindlers/more likely to be better founders is a very interesting topic. That goes against their stated purpose, why would they do that?

My personal hunch is that it's that bit of gut feeling that fills in the blanks when metrics run out that is screwing over female founders. When faced with a decision we have insufficient knowledge on, our minds extrapolate from past experience. We look at past events or knowledge that may be applicable, things we've heard, come up with a heuristic answer.

Now the thing is, investors don't know of that many successful female founders, matter of fact, neither do I, at least nowhere close to the number of successful male founders I know of. Those mental queries that would otherwise inspire confidence come up blank, the tally gets taken, and for reasons that don't really matter, the female founder gets short charged.

By the way, this process also works against other social groups and in other situations. Name 10 successful black founders off the top of your head. Chinese-american CEOs (ayy bamboo ceiling). What's your opinion on stay-at-home dads and male nurses? It's insidious, isn't it?

Really, there's only so much we can do against it though. One is being aware of such biases in ourselves and pushing against them, and the other much slower long term solution, adjusting people's mental databases to better reflect modern realities. I guess we need stronger role models for women in technology, ones that do stand against long held beliefs.

After all, female pilots don't seem strange (given Erhard), female programmers don't seem that strange (because of Hopper and other very talented women), female CEOs seem a lot less strange nowadays (example that pops in my mind is Marissa Meyer), but female tech founders still do. But we'll fix that in due time.

Did you actually read the article? It was using Spark to parallelize hyperparameter tuning, which is embarrassingly parallel.
Can you own a secret, though? Or is it OK for a government to force you reveal it publicly?

If people have a right to own secrets, and if NDAs can be legally enforced, then a market of (the knowledge of) facts can naturally emerge that's strictly worse than the patent system.
Would you mind referencing a dictionary.
>"You can't be selecting from existing mutants and "just happen" to get your transgenic product inserted at the exact site you specified. Your comment is just absurd."

This is very easy. If you take a very many cells, some small percent will be mutants at any given site (unless you claim zero background rates of mutation, which is absurd and also directly contradicted by the data in these same papers). If you give a treatment that raises/causes the affinity of DNA damaging substances for a certain site, this will selectively damage the DNA of the non-mutant cells. The proliferation of the non-mutants will be suppressed and many will die off. The remaining mutants will proliferate to fill the gap. See my other post for a (very simple) mathematical model of this phenomenon.

This is not absurd at all. It is basic logic and algebra. I will check that paper and get back to you. I actually have not read any using bacterial cells yet, thanks. Also, as far as I know there are no mathematical models of the standard proposed CRISPR mechanism that have been published, if you know of one that would be great.

What Paul Graham Is Missing About Inequality (Tim O'Reilly)
You're seeing the paint (of each car's color) being atomized upon impact.
I'm curious what makes you say that. From my point of view the exact opposite is true. Mercurial allows many different workflows (bookmarks, anonymous heads, named branches, topics), but with git you're pretty much stuck with the "standard feature branching" workflow.
It is always either neutral or negative is probably what OP meant here. I.e. it is never in your interests to have such a clause.

In theory, you could use that clause as leverage for a better salary or benefits or other positive outcomes, but in practice I doubt that there are any cases of employment contracts where you give up this right for anything other than 'the right to sign the employment contract'.
You have to be a bit careful with things like this. There is an implicit assumption that this is a pure one way play. In other words that there is no recompense for waiving the right to court arbitration.

Now, I don't happen to know the ins and outs of the pre-crash Bear contracts for traders, but from my experience of similar contracts in similar institutions, I tended to get amply compensated for the various things I waived my rights to.

There are cases, mine included, where both parties signed a contract with full knowledge and were able to walk away if they were unhappy. I'm going to guess that, as much as we all regularly feel sorry for the plight of investment bankers, this was likely true in this case too.

That's not to say I have any issue with employee protection in general. It's hugely important. But there are most definitely cases where the relationship is not necessarily one sided.
I feel the same way about paper books but now have most of my collection as ebooks. The reason? It's infinitely easier to move when you don't have a huge library to box up and carry around. I had amassed a very nice collection at one point in my life and sold all of it off when I had to move to another country. Now I just toss my Kindle in a backpack and my entire library comes with me.
I appreciate you calling me out on this - This is an anecdote I recall from over a decade ago but in Googling have no found any instances of it, so I will stop using it.

A better example is breaking a car window to save a child locked in a hot car during the summer. To be fair, many places create good Samaritan laws to protect this sort of behavior.

I agree I more alert than others on the topic, but I disagree that it's unfounded or paranoia. My beliefs may cause me some headache in the future but I will accept the high risk of headache over the small risk of severe injustice.

I would suggest fixing the legal system, so that dispute resolution through the courts was timely, lower-cost, and more predictable. Trial lawyers will probably oppose any changes to their rent-gathering system, but this seems to be the first-best choice.
So why should arbitration be mandatory rather than voluntary? If you both want to take arbitration at the time of dispute it can be done. This just sounds like the employer using a time of goodwill where its difficult to argue (signing an employment contract) to get an employee to 'agree' to sign away what should be a fundamental right to a fair hearing
Why would you assume someone providing references that contradict your unreferenced claims is trolling? I am not trolling. Also, I am not claiming that the usual mechanism proposed to explain this data is wrong, only that the published data is just as consistent with a selection mechanism. AFAICT, no one knows either way.

Please link to the data that you believe contradicts my proposed mechanism.
Came here to say the same thing. We bought a very expensive tent from them for very protection and they rescinded it only a few months before the tent got bent up in a wind storm. They tent itself was nice, but it wasn't really worth the price. I understood it as a form of insurance.

So yeah, I'm definitely letting my membership lapse this year.

> Zcash is launching as a for-profit company.

That's their downfall right there. With someone visible to track they've given up the game before they started. Real people running real companies are really vulnerable. The real test of a security system is its weakest link. And that link is almost always a person. Right?

IMHO the subtle political reason Bitcoin has gotten as far as it has is because it's creator has remained anonymous, and not tried to visibly profit from it.

Why do I think that? Because governments are very territorial about their money. Banks too. The regulations for banks are pretty tough, as you may know, Know-Your-Customer edicts and such.
Usage without a PhD in git-manpage-generator, primarily.
Spot on. I have been involved across multiple publishers. The cost of the book is normally set by whatever is needed to pay the editors and authors to produce a quality book. And the continuation of the publisher.
That's also another factor, in-browser stability is subject to each individual end user. A native client helps improve stability in the overall browser.
Rights still matter even if you don't exercise them. The presence of those rights can make your employer act better than they would have just because of the increased chance of being sued by some employee. Even if you would have tolerated larger violations of your rights than your fellow coworkers, the least tolerant coworkers protect the rest because they will take action against smaller violations.

Unless one thinks small violations of workers' rights can make themself worse off than larger violations, they benefit from protecting their class rights for the collective effect.
Documents Uncover NYPD's Vast License Plate Reader Database
Not sure, but Volvo likes to talk a lot about how they invented a lot of safety improvements and implemented things first. I believe they invented the 3-point harness, as well as the whiplash protection system.

Usually, it seems like things get invented by someone else first and sold to safety-minded consumers and then mandated by the government when they realize what a great idea it is. The rearview camera is a good example of this: lots of cars have them to improve visibility, and there's lots of data showing how many kids and pets get backed over every year, so the US government has mandated that all new cars have them by 2018. My new car has one, and honestly, I'm not sure how I ever got along without it now. Aside from kids, it makes backing up so much easier it's ridiculous; I can easily back into very tiny spaces leaving 12 inches of space behind my rear bumper, something I could never do with my previous smaller cars. That makes it easier to do parallel parking for instance.
Can someone ELI5 how Zcash works?
I like to read in the dark. As a passenger on road trips, or in a comfortable chair that doesn't necessarily have a reading lamp, or while waiting somewhere that doesn't have good illumination. Gooseneck lamps are AWFUL, particularly on paperbacks. I also can't set paperbacks to balance nicely on my lap without curving like crazy in most circumstances.

So I get 1) freed from having to secure and power a light source, and 2) the convenience of the hardback for the price of the paperback.

I was also quite bothered by the low res low contrast screen on the Kindle. The Paperwhite is worlds better, eliminating all of my gripes.
And on the other hand there are plenty of applications where you can assume that the encoded data doesn't need any pre-processing, either because your program was the one that did the encoding or because validation occurs on a higher level (e.g. a cryptographic MAC).

The cache issue is a good point, I wonder how dedicated your process has to be to processing base64 text for that to not be a factor.

I'm sure you mean well, but you're just saying the same thing the author of the document has already said.

>we risk convincing ourselves that we understand the biology better than we do, or making assumptions regarding how the biology may or may not work.

Okay, so the risk is non-zero. That doesn't tell us anything though. Our scientific progress hasn't halted because of high school students being convinced that they know all there is to know because they scored high on a test of the simplified model of reality.

Every single formal method of instruction uses simplified models to ground students' understanding of these concepts. All exams are graded on students "knowing" something, that's much more complicated in reality.

>Clearly, this kind of description can be used early on, but its important to recognize that these analogies should be viewed as broad-brush stroke descriptors and not functional ones.

Analogies are always about broad brushes. All analogies break down at some level. Because at that point, you would just describe the complex idea, rather than use the analogy.
One of the best advantages of buying at their markups is their return policy.

You pay more than at online outlet retailers, for sure, but lets say you bought a $200 sleeping bag and after a couple of seasons, you decide its not warm enough, you get to return it and get one more fitting to your needs.

I was told this story by a car nerd friend, and I won't guarantee its accuracy (feel free to confirm or deny if you have more information.)

When Volvo began making cars, they were very beautiful, artistically designed instant classics, like this one: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/99/b5/39/99b539384...

The founder of the company was passionate about making and driving beautiful cars, and he succeeded and built a pretty impressive company on that. However, he didn't pay much attention to safety, and died in a car wreck.

His wife inherited the company, and instead of selling off the assets and retiring, decided to take the helm and begin producing the safest cars possible. Ever since, they've been on the leading edge of safety development. The cars weren't quite as pretty, but they didn't kill as many people.
