I am 100% in favor of Sam Altman's decision for the following reasons:
1. Trump is offensive, racist, sexist and a terrible human being all around. I am Mexican, and I hate his guts and everything about him. However, I believe in what Voltaire once smartly said "I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it". I do not agree at all with Peter Thiel's decision to support Trump in the RNC or with money, but I defend his right to express himself.
2. Sam Altman and Paul Graham have done a lot to defeat Trump and elect Hillary as president. One of their part time partners supports Trump, that is not indicative of YC's political view.
3. Peter Thiel is a business man, and investor therefore that is what I focus on, his book which is fantastic and his work on facebook, can't judge him unfairly on everything, just because he supports Trump. He has a brilliant business mind and that is why he is a part time partner at YC and that is in the arena he should be judged.

I am strongly in favor of free speech. Peter should be scrutinized and debated, not fired. Sam Altman does not deserve any nonsense because of this.

Transparently. Pao ruined Reddit, now she clings to identity politics as her only way out of infamy. Little does she realize how deep she's digging.
If you were to ask me to divine what he thinks, I think he's areligious and could not care less --but he believes people will kneejerk against a stereotype. I think it's a calculated risk on his part, an unfortunate one. Still, I think he knows enough of them to know many he deals with have more in common with him than he does with Joe the Plummer but Joe and Jill the Plummers are his voters.
I have just heard of Project Include right now but they just dis-included themselves. Logical thinking would have them ask themselves if in 10 years doing this has a positive or negative impact. I believe that they just made themselves irrelevant for some notoriety.
The implication is that they "like" neither. Technically, disliking one less means you like them more, but the wording is meant to convey the distaste in the available choices, as opposed to being excited for the new term.

I didn't meant to imply biological systems were simple A-->B boxes or machines with perfectly predictable actions and reactions. I worded my comment poorly.

You are quite right that it's a dynamic, multi-faceted reality. I think the blank looks are saying that it's unreasonable to ask because it's impossible to know; all they're doing is trying to tease out at least one connection. Hopefully, none of them seriously think they've hit the nail on the head and have found the one true mechanistic answer.

If you working on that car meant that it wasn't scrapped, if the job you did for free was a job that a pro would charge more for than the car's value, then owning the tools to replace head gaskets is the more environmental approach. The energy needed to generate a new car from base metals is immense.

I guess we have to draw a line between those minimalists who want to just own fewer things for the zen of reduced clutter, and those who equate minimalism with efficiency or anti-consumerism. That's why the Amish still own and use modern tools. Their minimalism is more practical than ideological.

How?
I agree with this assessment.

I've given dozens of presentations to my fellow hospital docs, and by far the most attended and appreciated are those dealing with proper use and interpretation of statistics.
Pao can tolerate anyone... except people she deems intolerable. http://slatestarcodex.com/2014/09/30/i-can-tolerate-anything...

"Project Include" is evocative of "Ministry of Truth": a name crafted to narrate reality. I'm consistently amused by how little self-awareness identity politicians exhibit.

There is something about being authentic, though, that is actually more useful then trying to hide your emotions all the time.

The flip side of this is to consider the point of view of an "innocent bystander". Does someone being angry at an unrelated event hurt them? Does the person describing that event to them, angrily, hurt them, either?

I think that I would trust someone more who had a range of emotion based on what has happened to them recently, than someone who always tried to show a particular "face" to everyone, regardless of their current circumstances.

In that sense, always hiding your anger is actually hurting your chances of being trusted by others, which I think is one of the most valuable things other people can give you.
I don't think the idea is that it makes you dumb your whole life. Just in the moment.

That matches my own personal observation at least.
This idea (that jobs are required to give a sense of purpose) and it's close cousin idea (that one's living must be "earned" and the proper way is with a job), are reasons why Basic Income, even if financially feasible, would never be politically feasible.

Our culture is so wrapped up in the idea of the necessity of jobs that I predict we will see government programs to pay 1/2 of the people to dig holes and the other 1/2 to fill them in, before we see Basic Income.

I just want something other than this aluminum garbage. My iPhone 4 lasted four years (still fully functional in a drawer), all the while never accumulating a single dent. I owned my iPhone 6 for 3 days; dropped it once from less than 3 feet off the ground (was actually sitting, not standing), an act which completely destroyed the outer case.

Their aluminum build is utter Chinese trash, built to the lowest common denominator of pennies per square inch. Yes, the iPhone 4 was smaller and a heavy clunker; but it was a sturdy device compared to their pathetically fragile materials as of late. And it's done to save maybe $10-20 on what could have been a quality build. Apple used to be about good hardware, but they've fallen into the same unapologetic Chinese manufacturing bullshit as everyone else.

I don't think the Confucius quote is real, but there are a few relevant ones:

"Not being angry at someone who doesn't know, isn't this a Gentleman?" 人不知而不愠，不亦君子乎？

"Ji Wenzi thought three times before acting. Confucius heard this, and said 'twice is enough'." 季文子三思而后行。子闻之曰：“再，斯可矣。”

In the specific context of his student Zi Zhang asking Confucius about how to get an official salary, he responded: "Hear much and put aside the points of which you stand in doubt, while you speak cautiously at the same time of the others:—then you will afford few occasions for blame. See much and put aside the things which seem perilous, while you are cautious at the same time in carrying the others into practice:—then you will have few occasions for repentance. When one gives few occasions for blame in his words, and few occasions for repentance in his conduct, he is in the way to get emolument." (tr. Legge)

How about you try getting uninvited from a conference getting called a "bigot" for supporting the wrong politician? I hear it feels great. Really makes you consider the other side's arguments dispassionately and clearly.

I don't understand this culture. So people hate Trump, that's not a shocker. But many would have taken Thiel's advice without a problem a few weeks / months ago. Now, because he wants to donate to a candidate many find reprehensible, it's time to throw away the person Peter Thiel? Can he no longer give good startup advice because he supports Trump today? Is he no longer "redeem-able" to the point where we need to ruin him and whatever he's a part of?

Hate Trump all you want. But if you're going to pretend you're inclusive don't go around throwing people away because you don't like their views. That makes you an exclusive organization. Learn from those who do not share the same opinions.

What's normal view of people about Brendan_Eich? Should he have been removed?
1. If you believe, he should have been. Then Peter Thiel should also be removed.
2. If you believe he shouldn't have been, then Peter Thiel can stay.

I have included this test to just weed out hypocritical thinking.

I wonder if AMP isn't just an open source/mobile friendly version of StumbleUpon. Not sure if anyone remembers those SU banners at the top of most blogs, trying to get more in-site clicks from deep linked articles.

I was thinking the same thing before I ready the article; what does this dude do borrow equipment from everyone he meets?! I carry more rock climbing gear on a multi-pitch climb than stuff he owns!

But then I read the description and it sounds like it's for general working out or something? IDK, I've never personally needed chalk for or met anyone that needed chalk for lifting. Perhaps he works out in very humid climates, but I'd think there would be chalk provided at the gyms? Likely an item that could be practically dropped?
That was a very good clickbait for me as a college student.
Anger is our emotional mechanism to tap into strength and endurance reserves, while simultaneously suppressing pain. It is adaptive when you're fighting for the life of yourself or a loved one. It causes tunnel-vision, and it is not really a healthy state in general though, so it is definitely maladaptive if you aren't about to engage in some sort of physical conflict. You can recognize something is wrong, and be motivated to do something about it without getting angry, and generally things turn out better if you can avoid anger.
Medicine was always my goal, so I decided I'd use my undergrad time as an opportunity to try something else I was always interested in and which could provide me with some radically different perspective compared to the biology/chemistry folks. (And would also serve as a backup if I failed to get into medical school...)

My transition was easy. The required prerequisite college courses for admission to med school (two semesters biology, two physical chemistry, two organic chemistry, two physics, one basic calculus) were more than sufficient to get me through my med school courses. I took a few extras too (anatomy/physiology, molecular biology, and genetics) but I feel those were overkill and might not have been necessary. At least they were fun.

I think the biggest part though was that I sought out some experiences in the medical field. This demonstrated to the admissions committees that my career goals weren't a lark and I knew what I was getting into. I did a 6-week summer mini-med-school camp, shadowed physicians in the ER a couple of times, and volunteered in a medical records department for a semester. When I didn't get into med school the first time, I spent the interim year getting my Certified Nursing Assistant license and working in an assisted living facility and a hospital's locked psychiatric ward. Fun times.

Good luck.
That's why we have back buttons, no?
I'm not a minimalist for any moral reasons. I'm a minimalist because owning things stresses me out.

I could move to the other side of the world and carry all my belongings in a backpack. No storage, uhauls, etc. In fact, I have done it.

I could lose everything I own (apart from my laptop and phone) and it'd cost a few hundred bucks to replace. This happened when I got a horrible bedbug infestation in my backpack in Thailand. It was a bummer to have to start from scratch, but not really a big deal in the end.

Not sure what you're getting at with the tools comment. I have nothing that I would need tools to fix.

A marque name may be useful for Wall Street or the media but it seems unlikely it will help them recruit, for two reasons.

1) Machine Learning is one of the most quickly advancing fields of learning today, maybe ever. Having discovered a lot ten years ago likely isn't as important as what you have done now. The importance of the machine learning people that do AMAs on reddit (Lacune etc) is that they lead teams of people now who are working with streams of big data now, publishing state of the art results now. Which brings the second point...

2) Machine learning has advanced to its situation by being an incredibly open field, with arxive being the default repository for publications. Just doing this hire doesn't give any indication that Apple has relaxed its posture of restricting all information coming out of its research. This closed-to-publication position makes them much more unattractive to cutting-edge machine learning researchers than the presence of a single big name researcher could make them attractive.

(and I'm no cutting edge researcher myself, just an observer but I think you can find similar comments from real researchers in places)
I don't get why people are up in arms in here. It's YC prerogative to keep working with Thiel, it's project Include prerogative to cut them off because of it. I always believe in voting with your dollar. If something bothers you bad enough, don't attend, purchase, or anything else that you feel will support the company/person.

Trump is my personal line in the sand. Not the Republican party but Trump in particular. But I will only pull back my dollars if a company is actively publicly supporting him.

As long as you are voting with your dollar and not trying to get someone banned by the government or put in jail then I say have it. Why be uncomfortable in what your dollars are being used to support?
The Wagner analogy is not very good. This is a shunning, or a boycott, that is designed to affect behavior in this lifetime. It is not a post facto judgement about the artistic merit of a dead person's work.

Likewise, the Mein Kampf and Capital analogies are inapt. It's not about refusing to read books.

Mr. Trump has decided to take many polarizing actions. We should not be surprised that they have caused polarization. It's a way to gauge how seriously one takes the issue.

Another analogy is boycotts and shunning during the South African apartheid era. Apparently uninvolved entities, like musicians and writers, were forced to either take a position against the apartheid state, or to tacitly admit the issue was not important to them. Eventually it became all but untenable to support the South African government policy.
> Nowhere does this formula need prior knowledge

I never said the Lincoln Index required prior knowledge, I said the German tank problem required prior knowledge that isn't available in the VeraCrypt security audit.

Your example may have been copied from the blog post, but you failed to include any of the caveats that were present in the blog post, which are also present in the "vast literature" in Google Scholar.

Rod Stephens even says, in the very citation you attempt to make, "Like all the other bug estimation techniques, this one isn’t perfect. It relies on the assumption that the testers have an equal chance to find any particular bug, and that’s probably not true." It does go on to say the Lincon Index, "probably underestimates the true number of bugs." but in that aspect, Rod Stephens disagrees with the body of work available both in your own links, and in the Google Scholar articles. He then cites Wikipedia, so in that he's basically admitting he's not an expert.

I am not and have not been saying there are no further bugs in VeraCrypt.

I am saying the likelihood of there being "many" more bugs in VeraCrypt is not available, given the data we currently have. We don't have E2, for example, since you're focused so intently on the Lincoln Index.
So what do you do, just rinse with water?

There are important functions of colleges and universities outside of vocational training. If vocational training is all your after you should skip schools for a market solution like bootcamps.
I guess it depends whether you define minimalist as someone who uses fewer resources (their own and other peoples'), or someone who keeps their item count down. I tend to fall into the first camp, and I find it really annoying when people claim to be being frugal when what they're really doing is pushing most of their living costs onto the people around them.

The other aspect, also, is that it's fine to live out of a backpack when you're single and have no dependents. Once you have other people relying on you, you need to maintain the resources to keep them covered as well as yourself.
My mother always told me that if someone tries to tell you who you can have as friends, they're not really your friend either.

It certainly doesn't do everything Siri does on iOS devices, because it can't. Apple's hand won't be forced because no one buys an Android device over an iPhone/iPad because Siri doesn't do the same things Google Now does. Google believes that is a feature that can sell phones, but I predict that the Pixel will never pose a threat to Samsung or Apple and likely won't sell much more than Nexus devices have.

Apple also has a good working relationship with Microsoft so if they wanted this functionality it wouldn't be via "scraping".
If you believe you are an isolated incident, it may be harder to come forth and level charges. You are working against whatever reputation, money and prestige that person may have. Once there is an indication that it is not an isolated incident, and you may be able to face it in unity with someone else, that may spur you to take the leap. Even then, you may hold back with the hope that the other person may succeed and you don't need to involve yourself.

In this case, we had Trump attempting to cast the video as entirely just talk, with no action involved. I think it's entirely within expectations that someone that had experienced this behavior may have had their hopes of justice which had risen during this incident dashed (given there wasn't an actual person to respond, just the video), and decided that was the straw that broke the camels back.

We saw this with Cosby as well, or do you think he's innocent? If you think he's not innocent, how do you explain all the people that only really spoke up loudly after the main report? We see this all the time. Coming forward is a risk, and until the perceived risk is lowered, you may not see many (or any people).

Now, it is possible that the people coming forward are making it all up, as it's always a possibility, but given the video and Trump's very affirmative statements on the video (of a 60 year old man, mind you. He should have learned long ago what is and is not okay with regard to sexual advances), I think it's far more likely that at least some of the women coming forward are telling the truth.
Haha, it's amazing how new you can make your stuff look when you add a filter to it! Just to give you a snapshot, I wore my last dress shirt until my bare elbow was hanging out of a tear in the sleeve.

But yea, as others have mentioned, I am not 'minimalist' in the sense of reducing consumption. I am minimalist in the sense of reducing choices.

I don't understand Pao's thinking here; she trusted Thiel until he reached a different conclusion from her? If she pointed out a flaw in his methodology, or found a heretofore hidden inconsistency in his personal philosophy, I would understand, but she just doesn't like what he's doing.

If you believe in or rely on someone, it shouldn't only be when you happen to agree with them on the issues of the day; this is not how you behave if you trust someone.
I agree with you, that is the defense Sam Altman ought to have mounted, to the extent he owed anyone an explanation in the first place.

Instead, he is paraphrased as having delivered this head-scratcher:

"Y Combinator president Sam Altman says that he is wary of terminating the group's association with someone merely for supporting one of the two major parties' presidential candidates, and he says that Thiel has endorsed Trump, but has not explicitly endorsed Trump's racist or sexist point of view -- a narrow distinction."

Sam Altman appears to agree with many republican members of congress that you can endorse someone with endorsing their views. Which, I'm sorry, is just a totally bogus and lawyerly excuse whose only function is to explain away bad behavior.
I don't think it would have any effect on the election. The real importance is to people in our industry, and young people who are thinking of entering our industry.
