This is a very interesting theory, and dovetails nicely with the fact that women tend to trade stocks less than men (and therefore earn better returns) when they invest, a random fact I recently learned.

It comports extremely well with my experience of the world. Women are risk averse, and their intelligence distribution is compressed. Most of the brilliant people I know are men, and so are most of the idiots.

It'd be interesting to see this studied in more detail, because it really seems to explain quite a bit in a nice way.
Huh, billions of dollars are spent on misguided feminist support programs. These are choices that matter.
A super-majority is 3/5th or 60 senators in the US Senate, not 2/3rds. From July 2009 to January 2010, Democrats (+ Independents Sanders and Lieberman) had such a super-majority in the Senate.

Democrats in the Senate used this super-majority to pass the ACA (Obamacare) in December 2009. Technically, they used the super-majority to end the filibuster and then voted on the bill.

He opened the company up to serious liability for discrimination and creating a hostile work environment. Additionally, shareholders damaged by this monumentally stupid action can sue. Class action and employment attorneys are likely searching LinkedIn and other sites for employees emails to contact as I write this, looking for the ~500 or so employees of their 1,000 that are likely affected by this.

Hillary lost. Get over it, and (this should be obvious) don't tell your employees to resign if they disagree with you.
No, other articles are also being repostet, I think HN guidelines officially support that.

If anyone cares, by the way, actually having a Controller has done wonders for our code at TalkJS. Our View is purely React components, all of which only deal with presentation logic and local interaction logic. The components query the store (Model) for data, like in any Flux/Redux setup and like MVC has encouraged for decades.

Then, user actions are handled in the Controller. In our case it's just a bag of functions. The Controller fetches and pushes data from/to the backend, and sends appropriate actions to the store. This allows us to keep all the backend data fetching/manipulation logic out of the View, which keeps the View clearly focused on the UI and the UX, and nothing else.

Our controller does not have read access to the store: any data the controller functions need to do their work is passed in from the view (which has the data anyway because it used it to query the store appropriately).

This works great, it's total unidirectional data flow, it's also pure classic MVC, and I haven't seen anyone describe it elsewhere. We came up with it 2 years ago when React was pretty new and I had little else than MVC to be inspired by.

If you have data molding code all over your views (and a little bit elsewhere too, for good measure), consider a controller.

But if they had something worth keeping, they could ideally get financing from someone who'd want to own it. At least, that's what should happen in an efficient market.
Couldn't agree more.

There is no actual problem: social networks are simply not the right media to be a news source, and they were never meant to be.

Moreover, to expect to be fed "correct" information all the time, without no effort on the consumer's part, is flat out delusional. What we need, and what we have always needed, is to apply critical thinking.

Do you believe everything someone says? Well, then you have a problem.
It is likely that Amazon dictates terms that don't leave the agency another choice. I don't think the owners of the agency will make a lot of money either. Creating such an agency isn't too hard, so if AHC doesn't comply they'll find someone who opens up a new one and delivers the same price again.

In my opinion Amazon is at fault. A company has to know the contractors it works with. It's a similar argument as with child labor. Just because a subcontractor that produces for you exploits children doesn't mean that it's not your fault. Companies, especially at that size, have a duty to closely monitor their whole supply chain for violations of laws and ethics.
Personally I think 538's prediction was fine. In fact they explicitly called the situation where Trump would win despite the popular vote deficit.

As for the rest of the forecaster that gave Clinton 99% to win, given a US presidential election, the priori of a candidate winning is 50% (historical data, roughly speaking). So you would need some quite extraordinary evidences to get the posterior to 90+% for a candidate.

In this case, the evidences were mostly the polls. To have 99% prediction for a candidate based on a poll, the poll would need have at least 98% accuracy (assuming that when they're wrong, the probability of they being wrong in either directions is the same). Personally, I don't think the polls to be anywhere near that level of accuracy in general. Unfortunately I don't got any number of poll accuracy on hand - I'd love to see it if anyone have a citation.

There are more factors that will affect an election, but with similar reasoning to above, to get a 98-99% prediction, those factors will have to be 90%+ reliable as well. That is some quite tall order.

This is a case where the onus is on the forecaster to show that their number (98% for example) is sound, since they're the one making the extraordinary claim.
Interesting that the moderators found it important to remove the "YC partner" part from the submission. It also seems the submission is getting less exposure than other submissions even though it's newer and has more upvotes.

For example this submission has 349 points and was submitted 6 hours ago and has rank 17 while "Halite: An AI Programming Challenge" has 158 points and was submitted 12 hours ago and is rank 16. The Leonard Cohen post has just a bit more upvotes and was submitted also 6 hours ago and is rank 2. "Island generator was also submitted at the same time and with just barely over 100 upvotes is rank 7.

Can some mod please give some insight into this? I'm gonna give HN the benefit of the doubt, probably some invisible factors playing into it but the ranking plus the editing could look a bit like the story is getting burried.
It's understandable that people would like everything to be connotation managed so their sensibilities are never offended, but it's also a very valuable skill to be able to turn off the ability to be offended and just try to comprehend the intended meaning of something. It makes communication so much more viable.
It's not exactly like he's the King of Morocco, and besides, he also campaigned for Trump.

It's not surprising he'd be on the transition team or give 1M to the campaign.

I mean, that's the approximate value of 3 Hillary Clinton speeches. Peanuts!

He was 8 points ahead in a national poll of likely voters with a representative sample when asked who they would be more likely to vote for. I don't have specifics besides the 8 pt. lead because I'm not on the analysis side of things and the results weren't published. And I agree, phone polling is fairly limited as far as outcome prediction goes. Part of the reason they didn't publish is because they thought it was a fluke.
How are the history books supposed to compete with something we spend millions of dollars on every year optimizing its appeal? Self control isn't exactly a human strong suit.

IIRC Qt Widgets are stylable as well. I guess default distribution does not provide styles for iOS, so it defaults to the Win95 look.

I too don't trust "any of them". I don't trust news sites or channels at all anymore, because there aren't any that even _pretend_ to be impartial. The biggest loser by far in this election cycle is the media, especially on the left side of the spectrum. No one will trust them again in the foreseeable future. As someone joked on Reddit: "If Donald Trump walked on water, healed cripples and turned water into wine, the headline would be: "Trump can't swim, takes jobs from doctors, and is a raging alcoholic". That's essentially how Trump's supporters perceived the media towards the end of the campaign, and in my opinion, very deservedly so. They're shameless shills, pure and simple. For the record: I don't consider Breitbart or Fox News to be a valid news source either.

Lotteries are picked randomly. Elections are chosen deliberately. It was not a toss of the dice that gave the win to trump, so any poll that did not predict him as the winner is by definition wrong.

Or to question your logic another way, what would a poll mean in the context of a lottery?
Simply saying 'I don't think it will' is to ignore the best science that we have available today. It is a shrug. It does not suffice.
Nope, those look much better. I guess just...don't use the widgets.

His hypothesis: Dispersion is greater for women. That's testable. There should be data sets for this.

This list of data sets [1] seemed promising. But a general-population data set with standardized test results is needed. College student data sets have too much pre-selection bias. The National Longitudinal Surveys data ought to be useful, but is restricted.[2]

The thing is that there are problems we simply can't solve in theory nor in practice, yet we use approximate solutions all the time - and that is the case of advanced distributed algorithms. In theory, we simply can't handle real-world asynchronous systems. And when we pretend we have partially synchronous systems and build abstractions around them, they aren't 100% working. Now add in some complex bugs (like getting a distributed deadlock in transacted system involving exactly 7 nodes but not less nor more) and you might start understanding why functional test case might not really be an option to avoid these issues (you can obviously write them but they won't really help you). I worked on such a system, we had 100,000s of tests yet they were clustered around known issues and not issues that happened when e.g. a node went down and up, data were out of sync and sockets between nodes were becoming full due to OS' performance limitations. And moreover, many of these issues start showing up only when you push throughput to the max, e.g. during trading spikes etc. and adding a test that checks invariants would lower the throughput and those issues simply won't show up anymore.

They did a post-mortem and pretty much just blamed the polls[1], but didn't really go into detail about why their model spit out that number. But for what it's worth, I have a background in data analytics, and I would never create a model that returns a number in the 90's unless the forecasted results were well outside the estimated range of error. And according to 538, based on what they were seeing, a Trump victory was well within the polling errors, and the polls were off by a similar amount in the 2012 election (but in Obama's direction). They had their forecast in the 70's (and mid 60's just a few days before). Another modeling parameter that may have been a factor in the two models was the number of undecideds. Silver was also very open about how high those were, and how it was pushing up the uncertainty of the model. So it might be possible that HuffPo was ignoring those

Regardless, for something like an election where so many factors can influence an outcome (turnout, late breaking news, biased polls) and with so few previous events to base your model on (~12 elections worth of data), you should heavily discourage your model from outputting such a high number. It is irresponsible considering what kind of an impact those types of forecasts can have on voter apathy and decision making, and the only reason I can think they did it was so that they could award themselves the 'most accurate forecaster' title after the election. But instead, they now get to award themselves the 'worst forecaster award', and the rest of us are stuck with Trump for 4 years.

I have the feeling I am reading Vogue describing what should be the new trend this winter.
I would encourage you to reconsider, I found the article well written and useful.
Its the same pattern. The whole point of MVC isn't the damn precise implementation its about separating out the concerns of the view, the services/data and a thing or some things that control and/or glue it all together.

The point is to not munge all these things into one monolithic horrible grim mess. As long as you are separating the concerns of showing something to a user, allowing them to control it and backing it all with potentially remote service who cares what the pattern is precisely called? Its still flavours of this original desire that we named MVC.

All these presenter/unidirectional patterns are _just_ the underlying desire of MVC and the only reason that people seem to talk about how "MVC isn't right" or "is dead" is because they've followed MVC like dogma instead of just a guideline of separating your presentation, control and service logic. I had exactly this debate back when everyone was talking about MVP as if it was some revolutionary new thing.
Its not, its all the same thing and GOF was never supposed to be a template for software but a way of talking about specific ideas that architects could then riff on. They're chords, not one specific tune that you _must_ play in a very specific way.
THIS! This is exactly what I hate about being an "Indian" developer living in Bangalore.

It really hurts me that when someone is working with an offshore team they are looking at me as a "cheap resource".

I don't expect the valley crowd to understand this, so let me suggest an experiment. Go to your best developer, and tell her that you are there in the company cause she is "cheap labour", and if it was possible in a fraction of second you would get an engineer from Google and would hire him to do your job! Repeat this constantly for 3 weeks and see if her productivity drops or if she is still around! Its really painful to spend so much time, understand your own workflow and identify shortcomings, being self critical, overcome shortcoming with tips from HN / Stackoverflow, to concentrate on the problem at hand and implement a feature and then have someone come in and call it cheap labor. Previously I was working with a team in US and was reporting to an American. I know he was happy with my performance compared with the rest of my team members in the Valley as a lot of R&D work would be assigned to me. I have worked with angualr, react, rails, java, chrome extensions, ios, android apps. I am definetly not the best in any of this. But based on my previous work I think I am fairly competent.

In enginerring its a huge challenge to bring down cost. SpaceX is celebrated cause they have brought down the cost of launching satellites, when ISRO does it, it hursts me to see the first person who says that they were able to do it cheaper cause of the labor cost in India. I respect my work, and take pride in having built it.

If you want to offshore work don't make them feel like that the only reason you are giving them the work is because they are "cheap".

I know this is not what the article says but I wanted to share this even though this is off topic.
I'm in the (unusual?) spot of almost exclusively seeing things in my feed from the "other" camp. That's because all my friends are on the opposite spectrum of the political compass. I actually think that's worse than only seeing things you agree with. It makes me more polarized in my views.

Serious question:

Once I have been building Qt Widgets application in Python with PySide bindings. I needed to do some simple processing in several SLOTs and decided to use lambdas as an easy replacement. Kids, do not even think about attempting to do this at home, seriously.

I have run into some extremely evasive random crashes and stuff. I did not dig to the bottom of the issue, although my guess is that Python lambdas are executed in main (constructing) thread context and that causes race conditions.

My question: how do Golang's goroutines interact with native threads spawned by Qt?
