Sorry for being off-topic, but...

These are neat and all, but this is the third arguman.org link I've clicked this week from HN. If we're going to have a healthy discussion/debate about a topic, why not have it here? To me, debates on arguman.org come across as endless one-upsmanship rather than an actual discussion.

Maybe arguman.org posts should be rolled up as "hey, look at this neat argument analysis site" and link to its main page.

> would be seen as sexist.

"would be seen" talks about everyone, and I obviously can't speak for everyone. I'll try to anyway:

A men-only club would be judged differently since men are perceived to be the privileged class -- a concern would be that in this club, unfairly obtained advantages are carried on. A women-only club is much less of an issue, because women are perceived to be disadvantaged as-is. Having them organise in a secret circle won't cause any damage.

Beware: I'm not commenting on how sound this reasoning is, or defending or denying anyone's right to meet non-publicly.
I'm not sure that's much of an issue, since it is pretty good money (even in DC) for the 99% of us who aren't "really high talent employees".
I completely agree. One of those projects where the author was so focused in the `what` instead of the `why`. This kind of projects is why the JS community has bad fame among seasoned developers.

Ask HN: What do you use for realtime code collaboration?
Our small team (3 people) is using bitbucket for a hobby/private java project. We're all remote and there are instances where it would be great to do a code walkthrough via AT&T Netmeeting or Webex, but don't have funding for such services.

Any suggestions for a free or low cost realtime code collaboration/net meeting tool?
21 Proven ways to boost your creativity–based on my true story
The article focuses on this issue when thumb-sucking begins to affect secondary teeth, as hammock and the article point out it becomes an issue when the behavior is retained with secondary teeth. 3.5 years seems like he's reaching the threshold for when to ween.

"There can be downsides to thumb sucking, as it can lead to problems from pushing secondary teeth as they come in. But those don’t come in until later, when children are in elementary school. Most children stop sucking their thumb by themselves before they get to elementary school. The American Dental Association recommends that parents start encouraging their children to stop sucking their thumb after age 4 — but even then, they advocate a gentle, positive approach. Many children suck to relieve anxiety, and making them anxious about sucking can backfire! Instead, praise children for not doing it — and help them find other ways of soothing themselves. Putting a Band-Aid on the thumb can help them remember; at night, using a sock or something similar can help with the child who sucks their thumb without realizing it. But again, this is only an issue for older children."

The same logic applies to all those regulations that seem bonkers.

If you think of all those regulations as a type of source code (which dictates what government employees and citizens can and cannot do, when, and under what conditions), it's clear that a lot of regulatory code needs major refactoring.

To use your example with travel regulations, those 1400 pages designed to prevent fraud likely consist primarily of thousands upon thousands of assertions and if-then statements. I wonder if it would be possible to reduce them to, say, a few dozen pages -- by refactoring all that 'regulatory code' to use different, higher-level abstractions.
And I bet this would be true, if women didn't gravitate moreso to the natural sciences.

The nice thing is, this works for anything you can put in DNS, you do not need not to respond to a HTTP request for a name (think mail server).

> It is no less sexist to form a women's only club, but nobody sees fit to criticize it.

It is not -ist if a disadvantaged group does something to counteract its disadvantage without considering the privileged group. If women are disadvantaged, it is reasonable to do something to fix their disadvantage without having to interject "but what about men!?"

So, for example, Ubuntu/Debian/Arch Women groups are not sexist and we don't need an Ubuntu/Debian/Arch Men group because... well, because that's just what normal Ubuntu/Debian/Arch is, mostly men.

The situation for men and women in tech is not symmetrical, so the approaches to handle the problems need not be symmetrical either.
Well, I don't think it's the goal of a CEO of a social organization to give a talk on tech issues. Their focus is on social issues, so I don't see this as a good example.
I personally don't want a bunch of personal data, like photos, in the cloud where hackers can steal them, the cloud provider can go down, or decide I don't deserve access anymore. And I also travel on planes that usually don't have wifi. So I keep my podcasts and music local on my device. (I'm less concerned with keeping music in the cloud since it's not that personal in the way that a photo of my family is.) I was just running out of space on my 64GB device when the 128GB model came out. I upgraded, and find I'm just a tiny bit over 64GB 9 months later. So I guess I found my equilibrium (at least until I decide to start keeping something else local!).

I guess for him the apps had a novelty they never had for me. I use a few apps and the browser. I'm very happy with my iPhone.

Overall this reads like "my refrigerator keeps food cold, it is reliable for years, the novelty has worn off" or "I went to the grocery store and bought every cereal in the cereal aisle, there are too many, it's hard to find good ones, the novelty of having all this cereal has worn off, let's go back to when oatmeal was the only choice." I guess this sort of thinking is inevitable when you hunt around for apps. Most people don't hunt around for apps. They have a need, then they get an app. They're happy.
I'm under the impression that everyone is desperate for talent. Even the top-tier companies, apparently: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12059056.

I rely on pico/nano for all my system administration tasks (but then again, I spent the late eighties/early nineties dealing with MS-DOS' EDIT.COM, so maybe I'm not a noble example a thoroughbred greybeard would want to be associated with).
It's something I have thought about, but to really make it worthwhile, you would probably have to purchase significantly large companies. Doing an SME LBO wouldn't really be effective, since you'd actually have to be building these new technologies, which isn't cheap.

At GitLab we considered to charge for the packaging (our Omnibus packages and the package server). We decided to go for a GitLab version that was 100% open source and easy to install and a GitLab version that was closed source, contained additional features and was equally easy to install.

Apart from RedHat few companies have been able to make the packaging work as a business model from a financial perspective. Hortonworks shows it is hard to make money with packaging alone http://www.infoworld.com/article/2854359/hadoop/why-hortonwo...
It's as much to blame by not, within the actual code, refusing to clear PROXY...

Those are direct use of force, not authority or power.

Can still be undermined by civil disobedience, if we're talking about society. Only a small minority in society (the police) use force to get you to submit. The rest submits to the authority of the law. A very small group can undermine the majority through civil disobedience, since they can outnumber the police very quickly.
I agree

Now for the counterpoint, there are a lot of people in the marginalized group that actually do look up to people that advertise their marginalization.

Everyone that doesn't advertise that they are a "woman in tech" or a "black executive" flies completely under the radar.

There are literally groups I've been invited to where people make lists of these inspirational characters, because they want to support their businesses more than others. And the people that never said "I'm a black female software engineer that got VC funding" never show up. People assume they don't exist, when the reality is that isn't what they wanted to be known for!

Any compromises?

This reduces into a linguistic question of what Karl Popper actually meant, which is kind of .. unfalsifiable.

The objective is to create a decentralized fund/holding company. Thousands of people put money into a pot and then vote on what that money should be invested on.

I view it as more of an experiment with new tech rather than an actual plan to run a successful business, however there is an absurd amount of money on the line.
Even if the data you're pointing to was accurate and wasn't influenced by upbringing, they represent averages. Not everyone in each of those groups is going to have an aptitude for maths, but enough will.

Also, aptitude for mathematics and aptitude for tech aren't directly correlated, though there is likely to be some overlap.
Are you using 'affirmative action' prescriptively here, because that term has a very specific and understood definition?

I don't blame them for personally considering, reflecting on it, and adopting a view of women that permits sexism. I think the culture is still deeply sexist. I think that's the default position. I think they were just aping the world around them, unthinkingly.

I do blame them for not paying attention to all the women in the world saying "look guys there is a problem that we are experiencing," but you know what? That's part of the sexist worldview again!

Dismiss the woman, she's just a hysterical baby, whatever, do anything but listen because you might be made temporarily uncomfortable as you realize you've been part of the problem, and need to change your thinking and behaviors if you want to make the world more just.

I fault them for being shallow, unthinking people, but that's a big part of the human condition. :/
I would invest more development resources into natural language processing, for example:

1. Calculate "abusiveness score" of a tweet

2. Calculate "profanity score" of a tweet (I believe that's a different thing from 1.)

3. Allow users to set thresholds for these scores in settings

4. Use these scores for sorting replies (optionally?)

5. Google News-like clustering of news stories, and then tweets linking to them without adding original text

6. Automatic summarization of news stories
Housing can’t be a good investment and affordable
Two approaches I've taken in life to bullies: appeal to authority and standing up for myself.
Appeals to authority were never successful, and usually resulted in increased bullying (I was punished by the authority, and now I will punish you).
Standing up for myself meant the bullies moved on to easier targets. Whether it was a verbal or physical defense, it meant that I was not going to allow them to control me. I didn't become a bully when I fought back.
I'm pretty sad all the discussion is about this rather than the great write-up in that link plus the others from Tyler Bohan recently. I'll be sure to change the case next time, if there is a next time. I believed putting the CVE number first was thoughtful at least.

Assume for a second these tests are valid ways to prove what you are trying to prove[1].

First, you can't simply reslice the data and think you have shown anything valid. Simpson's paradox and all that. It could be that women do better than men in all but one race, for example, and that race "brings the average down" to the point where the overall gender scores look like they do. In fact, if you look at the wikipedia article on simpson's paradox, it gives the great example of .. a gender bias study :)

Whoever is creating these numbers by confounding variables and grouping data from other studies is just making a mess of the original data :(

(This is sadly not uncommon, and happens a ton in race and crime statistics, etc. The folks who make the original data often go to great pains to explain their methodologies, etc, and then some random org just throws it all in excel so they can produce charts that support whatever, and acts like anything they do to the data makes it still valid)

Second, ignoring that serious issue for a second, The only thing this gives you is "a snapshot of the world today". This is a test of actual current performance trying to predict success, not trying to predict potential performance. The SAT gives no data on what innate ability is, nor does it try to. That means it can change, and you can improve the numbers.

[1] i'm pretty sure the main correlation the SAT shoots for, and succeeds at, is predicting whether folks will be "successful the first year of college". There are a number of studies that show this. There are also newer, but less studies, that show other predictors may be just as good.
