Greenpeace is not a mainstream leftist organization. A Congressman in favor of nuclear power, or openly critical of Greenpeace as a thing, is going to get, at most, an emoji shrug by anyone in that mainstream. What Greenpeace Thinks is almost wholly irrelevant to the discourse of the left.

The Family Research Council is a mainstream right-wing organization. A Republican who runs afoul of the FRC in a solidly Republican state is in danger of being challenged internal to the party. What The FRC Thinks matters a great deal to the discourse of the right.

Hell, I'll go one further: that I can criticize the insularity of parts of the left to hearing things they don't like is something that I could not do when I was of the right because then I was a RINO or a "bad Republican". I'm not a "bad liberal" because I make that criticism. I'm pretty normal. So there's a difference, and it's a difference of kind, and the conflation you're attempting to pawn off strikes me as mendacious.
Really off topic, and I'm probably being pedantic, but I don't see the conclusion that you've given from what's presented in the article, re: blaming Mao for the modern ideology that perpetuates chinese medicine. I mean, it's true that a dialectical approach would probably lead to the adoption of most ideologically useful form of medicine, but a distinct separation of 'chinese medicine' and 'western medicine' seems directly antithetical to what Mao was saying... the fact that Mao wanted to address rural/traditional medicine and integrate into a medical tradition doesn't imply that Mao is the reason for orientalism and mysticism with regard to that medicine, especially since those things obviously far predate Mao.
This is a good thing to take a screenshot of. Don't forget the implied fetishization of eastern women that's happening here too.

I completely agree it's extra hard if you have no women onboard already--that's why I'm trying to source female engineers now, while the team has only one full-time engineer. The Etsy example of turning around a non-diverse culture is great, but waiting that long will cost 10x as much. Unfortunately, it seems that how it needs to be done, since sourcing at such an early stage is so difficult.

re: 1 -- I agree. I've found I won't have trouble sourcing entry level. The code schools and bootcamps seem to be making a lot of progress on gender diversity. I think in the long run when my company can afford to focus more on growth and leadership development I will pursue this route. Right now, however, I have a very solid pipeline of diverse and experienced engineers willing to join the team--just no experienced women.
Hi, thanks for your feedback. Can you submit a github issue? I need to establish a traffic testing method for assessing whether any traffic is leaking. This would be a valuable general tool for all vpn toolchains.
I agree with your momentum theory but furthermore it seems to also have a strong synesthetic element. As I mature as a musician these synesthetic experiences become more vivid while in the midst of making music.

The best unscientific metaphor I can think of to describe it would be like casting the Patronus Charm from Harry Potter.
Erm, not sure - it would have been 1999 maybe. I can't even remember what I was doing there, meeting a friend of a friend I think.

Actually, I seem to recall that there were guys around at the time that were making the monsters for Xena or one of those shows.
It's my understanding that it is quite specifically installed on every traffic light (in the sense that it's both the purpose of the device and that it's legally required). Note that this does not control the lights, it simply monitors and switches to flashing-yellow (until a manual reset) if there's an error.

Mind you, none of this is first hand.

Certainly, this data can be identifiable.
This is the reason twitter is losing (has already lost) many active users. If you can't moderate/respond fast to abuse and hate speech, there is something wrong in your model.
Because standardized tests can be applied to such a large set, the biases of one test maker can be spread to many test takers. Contrast this with individual assessment where the biases of many test "makers" have an opportunity to cancel each other out. This is similar to the logic behind randomized assignment in randomized-control experiments. It's not that the mice are the same, it's that asymptotically their differences cancel each other out. I'd recommend this article: http://stat.wharton.upenn.edu/~rosenbap/heteroReprint.pdf
Were states to implement such systems at the state level, I fully expect the smaller states to consolidate and form alliances of their welfare systems so as to achieve economies of scale faster.

I just posted to Women Who Code's job board. The listing will only allow you to put your company name, the title, technologies, 141 characters of job description, and yes/no on lots of different benefits. I'm hoping that will yield some more female candidates (although I'm a bit concerned that the only benefit I could list right now is paid vacation--equity and relocation weren't even options to select, but I do offer those!).

Good luck with your job search!
They weight users from different countries by CIA's total numbers of internet users in these countries. (https://www.netmarketshare.com/faq.aspx#Country ) So some country having a big share of internet users according to CIA and small and volatile number of users counted by Netmarketshare can be the reason.
China has about 22% of internet users according to CIA. Is there a way to estimate how many are counted by Netmarketshare?
From the FAQ: "All data is anonymized and aggregated to ensure no personally identifiable information or user behavior can be surfaced through the Movement tool"

Aggregation is a common method for anonymization. One approach is to only display trips that were made by at least 15 different people in a day.
Honestly, I didn't notice that they didn't capitalize things, until it was pointed out.

Interestingly, the beta label that was so common 10 or 12 years ago on new web services, seems to have mostly disappeared. I very rarely see it any longer. One of those cycles where it got very popular, then the backlash about putting it on everything and a negative connotation develops, then people become afraid to use it.
I've heard somewhere (possibly in a BBC TV report) that batteries are passed through a hole in the floor from Tesla to Panasonic enclaves because neither company wants the other to know fully about the processes required to finish the final product. Hence the joint venture on one site.

edit: ok, the article[0] doesn't mention secrecy as the motive but yes a hole is involved. And the motive for a single site is to reduce transportation costs.

Looks interesting, but out of curiosity, what benefit does this offer over wkhtmltopdf (http://wkhtmltopdf.org/), which does pretty much the same thing?
Agreed. Unless we're talking about math (logic proofs), we should probably stop using the term, "objective." It's sloppy thinking.
Technical documentation may be dry, but it is generally well read and edited, grammatically correct, and easily obtained.
Agreed, but you are also paying 1/3 of the price

honest answer to your question: i followed grammar you would have been proud of for this submission so i assume my grammar had little affect on the grade

but seriously, is that how you want to judge? and how you think people should be judged?

am i the crusader? i am just writing how i like to write, and instead of engaging with the material people question how i present my opinion?

if i were commenting on every comment: why are you using this tired grammatical dogma that is ill suited for the immediacy of our main contemporary publishing platform; then i could agree with your sentiment, but instead this effort to uphold an assumed status quo seems the real crusade here

i am sorry my punctuation offends you, i wish there was a way that i could write how i want to write and you could read it how you want to read it

There is a certain resistance to challenge that you characterize amongst even more moderate "conservatives". Despite the notion of conservatism being...y'know, conservative, there's a very post-modern, all-narratives-are-valid notion that I think (circling back to the OP of this discussion) fuels the "fake news" thing more aggressively on the right than it does the left. The left encourages you to find your own truth about yourself; the right encourages you to generate your own truths about things external to you.

When you believe a minority viewpoint, you're going to be challenged more often than the mainstream--and you can refine your viewpoint under fire and make it better (the inability to make it better because there was no better to be made was a large part of what pushed me away from conservatism), or you can adopt a siege mentality and hide from it. I find that cowardice endemic to the modern right and its fragility the centerpiece of the hatred of even mild challenges.
Why would you waste your time on advertising your disapproval to obviously intentional cutesy capitalization when there was content to the post? That's like getting fixated on the color of the ink that something was written in. Or not listening to someone who stuttered, or had an accent.

It's tempting to think we can mimic the example of a small country, but it's unfortunately quite difficult to know if the policies mattered, or if it has to do with cultural and economic forces that the government doesn't have much influence over.

Imagine you take the US, and you just cut it into small "nations" arbitrarily. Despite having the same laws and policies, you'd see a huge amount of diversity when it comes to crime rates, wealth, income distribution, and so on.
Interesting project, and I love the example they used on the demo page. (Go Cardinals!)
L2TP is quite old, itself does not provide encryption or confidentiality to traffic passes thru it. L2TP/IPsec encapsulates data twice at layer 2, it has pros and cons. See this -> https://www.bestvpn.com/blog/4147/pptp-vs-l2tp-vs-openvpn-vs...

IKEv{1,2} + IPsec (tunnel mode) is recommended. strongSwan is probably the best free, open source IPsec solution out there (much better than libreswan...), very good documentation and examples etc, actively developed and maintained by a bunch of passionate guys that knows the stuff.

Our company (pre-IPO startup) has been using strongSwan for 2+ years as site-to-site solution from on-premises data centres to AWS VPC, proved to be rock solid as long as it's properly configured ;-) The only drawback is that strongSwan currently does not have a mature HA solution but it's shaping up (5.4.0 introduced IKEv2 redirect). Hopefully a proper HA solution will be built on top of that and later productized ;-)

BTW: I myself have been using strongSwan since 5.0.x for remote access, to protect privacy, fight censorship (yes, originally from China mainland where GFW is in place, etc...). The native strongSwan client for Android is a killer ;-)

Interesting as it is, and without taking away from the significance of their work, it is important to note that this was observed in rats. Not humans. Speaking as a biologist / geneticist, I think we should be very very cautious about extending observations in rodent social / sexual behaviour to primates, much less humans. Rats are, in general, remarkably aggressive compared to mice. Huge huge behavioural differences within just mice and rats!!

Here's an interesting example of the potential risks:

This is nice from an artistic perspective. But from a computational physics perspective, it feels like cheating. How much of this is realistic? And are we now encouraging more and more people to focus on "fake" physics because it makes it somehow easier to produce something cool? I sure hope not.
it's pretty obvious to me. It's not about "you". You don't matter in this equation. What matters when talking about a language is the people who use it as a whole.

So even if you have no trouble using Perl and writing "readable" code that you can read yourself, that doesn't mean rest of the people can read what you wrote.
This premise is a fantasy. The same exact article previously popped up about China. I'm getting the impression it's meant more to be propaganda to preemptively discourage bad policy by pushing the notion that America's tech golden egg could be swiped by competitors.

The most likely outcome is the H-1B program is modestly increased when it's revamped, to placate the silicon valley power base that does in fact still have extremely broad, extremely influential reach in DC (the tech industry is now by far the largest lobby group overall, surpassing telecom & defense).

I love the characterization that most if not all of these people are highly skilled and highly prized talents. My experience working with many over the years is quite the opposite. That is not to say that there are not a few good talents here and there, but to say that most of them are good or above average developers would be innacurate. I recently started working on a codebase that was developed by 200 on shore and off shore Indian contractors over the course of a few years. What a disaster. And no engineering disipline whatsoever to mitigate it.
I don't know HP enough to get your analogy. When I'm in flow, music is like surfing a multi dimensional curved space. If my body isn't tuned enough and I'm not relaxed enough I lose "sight" of the surface and energy loss occurs, otherwise you just follow the valleys or hills as you see fit.

This is really funny. 15 years ago there were so many engineers and PhD students and candidates who wanted to get a higher education or a work visa to the US, with the mantra of getting the "best and brightest".

Nowadays the more sober people that I know shy away from the opportunity, preferring European research institutions and Nordic or Germanic engineering companies, or just staying home in Latin America or Asia given that the wage gap has tightened considerably and the cost of living in desirable American locations has gone up astronomically.

It's the sort of thing that panders to the short-term nationalistic tendencies, but the impact will be felt a decade or two from now. Building up and maintaining intellectual prestige takes much more effort than it does to destroy it. Not to mention that there's more eagerness to set up engineering shops outside of the US than ever before.
I was just trying to encourage you to stick with western women in western countries in spite of and in opposition to the state.
Why would you file proof theory under philosophy as opposed to mathematical logic? Proof theory isn't any less mathematical than, say, the integers. You start with a fully formal set of ground rules specifying the system you're studying, and then use a specified mechanism of formal deduction to determine features of that system that are a product of that specification.

You can use proof theory to strengthen/weaken claims in the philosophy of mathematics, like how Godel's incompleteness theorems removed the possibility of a universal logical framework for all possible mathematics. But you're doing the same when you shoot down Aristotle's claims with the physical sciences, so I don't see why you would that would be a reason to file it under philosophy.

Nonsensical?

Laptops/desktop are a form factor / product category, not a usage pattern.

The same way as 20kg desktop PC on boats are not "laptops".

Sometimes you do need to know how its used (e.g. if you sell peripherals that only make sense for "road warriors" you will want to know how many use their machines at a specific location all day, regardless of form factor), but most of the time, laptop/desktop distinction based on form, like the one we always been using, makes far more sense.

The AI decides that the best way to become better at Go would be to obtain control of more computing power. It carries out an exploit on its own container which gives it root access on the local computer, then spreads on to the internet. Once it takes over all existing computers, the next logical step to become better at Go is to turn all available non-computer matter into more computers. Being made of matter, humans may find this objectionable.

(I'm not saying this must happen, but it's this sort of scenario that worries people, and it doesn't seem impossible.)
having tougher restrictions for H1B visa's wouldn't be a bad thing. Last few years about 3x as many applications were filed than visas available, with a lottery deciding who would get the H1b visa. I would argue that foreigners that work at a high tech company like Google or Microsoft or Silicon Valley startups add more value than one working at an outsourcing firm that replace americans
If you had a codebase that was developed over a few years by 200 different remote contractors, thats a recipe for disaster regardless of their nationality.
The rates of entering and completing college and of successful suicide are real problems. Definitely give you those.

The others, I'm not sure I can. Some of this is biological. The rate of sociopathy is much higher in men than women, and young men have hormonal drives to physical violence that are much stronger than women. I would be astonished at a society where incarceration rates are equal. Similarly, men living shorter lives appears to be biological, as it is ubiquitous across cultures.

As for tax burden, if you factor in systemic lower rates of pay for women than men, lower employment opportunities for the three quarters of single parent households that have only a mother rather than only a father, and split the burden across couples where one does not work, is it still so?
Furthermore, the philosophy OF science is of incredible importance, since so much science is about creating and interpreting frameworks so that we can build systems of knowledge and prediction, rather than just useless collections of statistics. There are a number of approaches to this framework building, and I think one of the major failures of scientism is that it cannot comprehend alternative ideologies with which to construct knowledge so long as it continues to deny its own status as ideology.
