> I think wherever you look in the world, you see a field or an endeavor that’s not got women in it. You can ask yourself why aren’t there women there? And the answer is always the same: It’s because women aren’t welcome.

Does that include coal mining, construction, fishing, farming, forestry/logging, waste disposal, protective services, dishwashing, landscaping/groundskeeping, pest control, stonemasonry, flooring, plumbing, highway maintenance, auto mechanics, HVAC, machining, welding, cabinetry, wastewater treatment, and truck driving?

Or is it more likely that jobs that are extremely dangerous, highly stressful, physically demanding, low pay, or any or all of the above just aren't very attractive to women? I mean, they're not all that attractive to a lot of men, either, so that's perfectly fine. I don't really like the thought of spending weeks at a time on a small fishing trawler with a dozen other guys, myself, especially if there's a 1 in 1,000 chance I'd die from it.

My aunt used to be a truck driver. She enjoyed it, the pay was decent and got along great with a lot of the drivers she ran into. She also got mugged a few times, often at gunpoint.
That's not how the Berne Convention works. Copyright is applied automatically. You can't just assume people who publish works without a license "don't care". Maybe they don't want to give you a license and want to retain all of their rights under copyright law.

I always put licenses on all of my works (including presentations, blog posts, images, as well as code obviously). All of them are licenses which make it clear that I wish to provide people more freedom than granted by default under copyright law (in counties that follow the Berne Convention).

Here's a survey of AI experts: http://www.nickbostrom.com/papers/survey.pdf

>We thus designed a brief question- naire and distributed it to four groups of experts in 2012/2013. The median estimate of respondents was for a one in two chance that high- level machine intelligence will be developed around 2040-2050, rising to a nine in ten chance by 2075. Experts expect that systems will move on to superintelligence in less than 30 years thereafter. They estimate the chance is about one in three that this development turns out to be ‘bad’ or ‘extremely bad’ for humanity.

I'm sorry to hear that. My nurse said to keep up a high fat and high protein diet for my leukemia, probably to prevent weight loss when I lost my appetite later. When my immune system weakened, I stopped eating uncooked plant-based foods. Certain foods have shown to fight tumor cells in vivo like cruciferous vegetables but nothing is really as good as actual modern treatment.

I wonder what happens if you report to the "juristic person office"? Do they get you a different accommodation and go after the AirBnB host?
I agree but in my opinion the only one. I am not opposed to the principle but justice in pretty much every country has historically shown a remarkable incompetence and lack of rigor.

It helps that in probably 80% of the cases there is no real doubt on the identity of the killer (not all cases are a suspense movie scenario). But I wonder if the reliability of courts is even higher that whatever that percentage is.
Seconding this. Maybe it's my love of anecdotes and analogies to illustrate points that may be hard for people to understand. Possibly it's my appreciation for well placed juvenile humor.

Either way, I identified with some of the points being made and easily picked up on the things I'd not considered from this angle thanks to the funny examples.
Tax law isn't that way, as are many defaults for how things work.

Previously many days did in fact go through very complicated legal proceedings to try and do this, but many places where it matters (like hospitals) don't have those contracts so its very different from just saying 'thats my husband/wife'.

I think that's the more important bit -- having society recognize the relationship as equally valid, such that all the things that normal straight married people take for granted can also be taken for granted by gays. Unless law codifies that, it's harder to do.

Civil rights has often focused on law as a kind of behavior floor and codification of rights -- society then takes many years to catch up but its a very motivating factor.
I don't think philosophy is very useful, except for having a good understanding of logic, which we don't need a full liberal arts department for. That said, there's no denying Bill Nye obviously doesn't understand what "I think therefore I am" means. For one thing, it has nothing to do with "thinking about existence" or whatever he said.
Yes, of course I am. Why would I lie?

The term "rocket scientist" is often used euphemistically, and I wanted to make sure my usage of the words rocket scientist could not be interpreted any way but literally. Perhaps the phrases "he's no rocket scientist" or "it ain't rocket science" aren't used in the milieu of the community here? I know humor is generally dismissed in this community, but if there is an in-built assumption that euphemistic language isn't expected either, then I can certainly see how my use of literal could be misinterpreted.
So basically all the peanut-safe zones we're creating around young people these days are just part of a cascade failure, whee...

The anecdote about the airline industry in the US is half-correct. It's true that cockpit protocol didn't change after the German crash, but that's because the airlines in the US already have a better version than the German one. When a pilot leaves the cockpit to drop a grenade, a flight attendant must enter the cockpit to sit with the remaining pilot until the bomber returns.

While this doesn't protect against a completely insane pilot (he/she could kill the flight attendant), it does eliminate scenarios where the cockpit only has one person present.
Its kind of cliche to target excess consumption of a rake and claim its terrible since you took the extreme cold turkey. All pleasures are best used moderately. Its an adage as old as good and evil itself.

I wrote Go code all the time, and I don't /hate/ it. But it would be a mistake to call Go's tooling "incredible". The race detector is /sometimes/ useful, but it doesn't do any "real" analysis (you have to be very close to the race window in order to trigger the race detector to complain, which is quite difficult for more obscure race conditions based on random variables). The Linux kernel (which as we all know is written in C) has lots of far more sophisticated detection of lock contention and other such things at runtime. But I think you need static analysis if you actually want to figure out where races might exist in your code.

Vendoring makes life hard for people who have to package software. Traditionally, you have build dependencies which are the libraries your software uses. In Go (because nobody follows semantic versioning when changing the API of their libraries, and the Go tooling doesn't allow you to specify versions of a package -- WHICH IS ACTUALLY CRITICAL) you just have to dump all of your dependencies into the same place as your source and be done with it. I don't see why people see vendoring as the solution. Defining version dependencies in your source is the solution if you want to go with "our source code defines what we need to pull in". Don't get me started on the static linking issue. Oh, and build dependencies have to be packaged as source code (packaging them in their compiled form is quite hard to do).

I don't think that anyone would take the results of this article as a statement of absolute fact. In the discussion they mentioned some more (better controlled) studies investigating the role of cocoa flavanols in "cognitive tasks". Doing any longitudinal study with humans suffer from confounders, biases, and poor design because we can't do controlled, long-term research on humans. You just have to take these limitations into account when you are interpreting the results and use any findings as areas for possible further investigation.

All ZFS contributions before the illumos split were assigned to Oracle because they had a CLA with all contributors. I'd still argue they definitely have copyright ownership (the current source is based on the original files, no doubt about it).
Evidence in our house, yes. The TV delivery industry shot their feet off in this area because they have a pricing model where they want to charge per "screen" (we use Echostar, but I believe the other providers have similar pricing). They also insist (or did until yesterday) that the data gets to the screen by coax. My two kids have tv screens in their bedrooms but I was not interested in paying an extra fee to have the signal delivered to them, nor was I keen to crawl around under the floor pulling coax (they have perfectly fine GigE connections already). They could in theory watch TV on a screen in the family room but they'd need to fight someone else for control of the set top box (and get out of bed). The result is they spend all day watching YouTube and Snapchatting on their phones. The TVs are only used for Netflix.
While the token string appears, I'm not sure I would call that a use of "open source". It reads to me like "open" modifies "source code", rather than "open source" modifying "code".
I've got you all beat. My job is a 1 minute jog from my house. Less than a football field away. It changed my life. My entire life has been altered for the better and every few days I wonder why we stopped designing cute little European/American towns where you can walk everywhere. My former commute was driving 30 miles and 30 minutes to work.

From stress, to car insurance, to gas. All the bad things in my life have decreased. I have more time, feel healthier, and get more sleep. I haven't paid for gas or filled up my car in months. All from this seemingly small change. A 1 minute jog to work. I decided if I ever got a different job I would move to be as close as possible to it. The benefits are too enormous to overlook.
The study is here[1; non-paywalled].

A series of follow-ups might look like this:

1: GWAS to look for genetic association with chocolate consumption.

2: Mendelian randomization to assess whether an inherent predisposition for increased chocolate consumption leads to increased cognitive function.

The same approach has been used to assess whether there is a dose-response of alcohol on mortality (the answer appears to be "yes," and there is no U-shaped curve).[2; non-paywalled]

This is mostly just to say that I'm not convinced by such tortured data in an association study, but if there is enough interest in the hypothesis, then the path forward to assess causality is clear.

The code looks nice and straightforward, and kudos on actually producing a typed language. IMO, there's too little of that these days.

Too bad you didn't get around to implementing context threading, because I would have liked to see a clean and portable implementation, particularly if you had also planned to support TCO. Is the design you had planned documented anywhere?

> My mother lives next to a busy Airbnb. The Airbnb guests regularly wake her up at 2AM by drunkenly pounding on her door. She complained to Airbnb. They don't care.

Were the airbnb rentals legal ? If your mom owns her condo , she'd know that therefore be able to denounce the fraudster to the organisation that manages the building. There is plenty of things your mom can do to force an illegal airbnb rental to shut down.

And why would she complain to airbnb ? it's a well known fact that they don't get involved because it's their business model, all the risk is passed to the landlord and the renter.
Having started out, during studies, as a tech support agent for an ISP, as I imagine a lot of people have here, companies don't like support calls either.

The vast majority are either dumb (trivial problem like misspelling username), unreasonable (demanding a truck roll because "their latency went up by 2ms", download speed going down, ...), shouting or combinations of the above.

Treating callers that call about a product like adults is an expensive mistake for companies.

Sorry, I live the same distance from work. And let's be honest with one another, it's totally a 5 minute commute! We WALK 3 minutes to the office (+2 mins additional to grab a coffee enroute).
Yeah, I'm aware of this. But I don't think this prevents the germanwings outcome (which was, indeed, orchestrated by the "completely insane pilot" you mention).

The person plotting to commandeer the cockpit always has the upper hand, because they'll be the first to act. It's hard to defend against a sucker punch or a knife from first-class.

You could even argue that the two-in-the-cockpit rule is less secure, because it introduces one additional person who could pull off a germanwings scenario into the impenetrable control room. This is the same concern raised by the pilot quoted in this article (http://www.smh.com.au/business/aviation/germanwings-australi...):

"It exposes the cockpit to more security risks than the isolated case of a homicidal pilot," he said. "I think flight crew are a better judge of fellow pilots' mental state. Now I have to judge the cabin crew member's mental state too before leaving them in the cockpit with access to things like the crash axe."

Originally I had a long aside in the article to deal with this point, but I axed it because I don't think it changes the core argument. Unfortunately Medium seems to have removed footnoting capabilities. But it's still a valid note. Thanks.

There's more to it than just the things you mentioned, and I'd argue that it's an even bigger problem. The fact studies are adaptively chosen and performed based on the results of past studies on the same (or related) data leads to increased instances of false discovery. This is something that is directly addressed in some very recent recent work (not uncoincidentally making reference to this exact XKCD comic):

> Oh please, even the author of the CDDL license states that this is so (Danese Cooper).

Wikipedia mentions several other authors. Maybe Wikipedia is wrong, but I am doubtful only one person wrote the CDDL.

> Solaris was being killed in the market by Linux, Sun decided to go open source in an effort to better compete with Linux, but there was NO way that they would give away their prized technology (ZFS, DTrace) under a license which would allow their main competitor to whom they were losing, to integrate said technology.

That is one telling of the story. Other Sun employees have different tellings. It's not as cut and dry as you claim.

CDDL is GPL incompatible in a very subtle way. The copyright of the CDDL licensed code isn't infringed, it's technically the copyright of the GPL code that's infringed. CDDL allows distribution of the binaries under a different license (provided the license doesn't restrict the users' rights, which the GPL doesn't), but the source files must always be under the same license. The GPL requires the source files for the "dervied work" be under the same license, which is where the incompatibility steps in.

> Officials of Airbnb and VRBO (Vacation Rentals by Owner, a HomeAway brand that is popular in New Orleans) point out that they operate in so many places they cannot possibly get into the specifics of local policy; they are merely private businesses offering services to consumers.

Operating in so many places has never stopped chain restaurants or chain stores from getting into the specifics of local policy.

I have no idea how they square this with the standard Silicon Valley notion that we can solve any problem with some technology and a little elbow grease. Every time an AirBnB spokesperson opens their mouth, I become more reluctant to use them despite previously being a happy early adopter.

Excuse me, but as a Sr. Engineer, the Thiokol engineers should go to the grave feeling guilty.

I think you're right they should feel guilty, not because they didn't argue hard enough to stop the launch, but for knowingly allowing a flawed SRB design to stay in service for so long. It was a well-known fact that the o-ring design was flawed, even before the first shuttle launched. In several launches, the joints in the SRB flared out, causing leaks, but luckily the o-ring slipped out of its groove and sealed the joint. This was not part of the design, but they change the spec to account for this unintended effect.

This is why they should feel guilty. Instead of fixing the flaw, they counted on a Rube Goldberg-like sequence of events to fix it.
Do we? Recently looked into that and it didn't seem like there is something clear-cut superior, sadly...

And that's the real thing that kills me here.

I'm told architects have a saying: "form follows funding", and that now seems depressingly true. During my years in the industry I think things have steadily bent toward revenue at all costs, damn the mission, damn the government, and damn any sense of integrity. Zenefits is Exhibit A for me, but I hear story after story of companies building themselves to flip and doing shady things to maximize the next quarter's numbers.

I wouldn't mind this so much were our self image purely about cash extraction, as in the financial industry. But once I think it was more about impact, and I fear we are telling ourselves that story more than the current reality justifies.

A couple of years ago I slipped (herniated) two lumbar disks. Both of the surgeons I consulted begged me NOT to get surgery (one with tears in his eyes). I'm ever so grateful that there are surgeons out there who will push back. Contrast that with when I went to an orthopedic specialist about knee pain from running. In less than two minutes of consultation he told me he wanted to snip my tight IT bands. My jaw was on the floor. I was nothing but meat and a paycheck.

Thankfully acupuncture has given me back the ability to sit/run/lift/stand. I'm so grateful I didn't get surgery in either case.
