I don't know if that is true. I agree with you, but the obvious counterpoint is that a lioness has cubs and raises them to be apex predators just like herself, all without a language. You don't need a language to do things, there are many stories of people living just fine lives without language. To get to the stars, I'll bet on your hypothesis, but I think given enough time, some alien somewhere may have done the same without a thought in it's 'head' at all.
> Alot of it has to do with the fact that when you view women as objects ... it can be very difficult for men like this to actually engage with an intelligent woman or have a meaningful intimate relationship.

As a non-objectifier, I wonder about this. If you "buy" women, does that automatically mean you objectify all women? Would the same effect be observed in homosexual males?

Here's mine:

javascript:for (let e of document.querySelectorAll('*')) if (/fixed|sticky/.test(getComputedStyle(e).position)) e.style.position = 'static';

I use it so many times a day it's not even funny (it's in my bookmarks bar, keyed to ctrl-2). I think it removes (or obscures) an element that I wanted to see in hindsight, way less than 1% of the time. It would be nice if I could just tell the browser to just ignore the `fixed` or `sticky` position properties entirely.
> Intel's claim has been in the past that its density can exceed SSDs by a healthy margin

Seems doubtful they would reach that goal until SSDs hit some kind of hard plateau (kind of like HDDs did).

Toshiba plans to make a 100TB SSD over the next couple of years, and I believe Samsung has already announced a 16TB SSD. I doubt 3D Xpoint can catch-up with those in the given time frame.

If Scotland votes to leave it will be to remain in the EU debate after Indyref1 led me to conclude that Scotland would have to petition the EU to join as a new member instead of inheriting the UK's membership, and the EU requires new members to adopt the Euro... so if Indyref2 passes then they'll have the Euro.

not evidence that anti-racism is irrational

I haven't argued that it is evidence of such. I've argued that your particular chosen method of combating racism is irrational under a few specific conditions: A) your position is reasonable and B) the bulk of the people around you are reasonable and just.

It seems like you don't believe B is the case ("I've already made it quite clear that I think not all the minds in question are reasonable.... [L]eft unchecked racism could fester in us and cause great harm...") and don't especially care if A is the case ("outside all reasoning...no matter how you or I react to racism...it is still wrong.").

Given you believe your heritage is at stake ("I'm worried because my children will have the same Jewish heritage I have"), your method is quite rational under those conditions. I wonder if your co-religionists tend to be of a similar mind.

You may as well ask me why I argue the sky is blue when someone tells me it is green.

Except you're not arguing against racism, you're arguing for outrage against racism. Those are two very different things.

It's strange someone would ask me why I argue the sky is blue

I'm not asking you why the sky is blue, I'm asking why you think outrage and censorship is the appropriate way to keep minds from thinking the sky is green. From what you've said, the answer is that A) you feel the stakes are quite high for you personally, B) you didn't reason yourself into the position that the sky is blue, but in fact believe it's outside the bounds of reason to even weigh in on the subject (I suspect you don't actually think this, but it is what you said), and C) believe a great deal of the people around you are mentally deficient in such a way that they're biased toward belief in a green sky.

I think this can happen to a lot of people, depending on the discussion. Personally, I've taken almost no CS classes; I'm a EE by degree and moved into programming (mainly embedded) on-the-job.

So when people start getting into heavy CS discussions about algorithms or whatever, that can alienate me to an extent too. I've read the basics and all and picked up a lot, but only what I really needed to know for this kind of work. I'm more interested in getting hardware to work and programming near the hardware level than some B-tree or whatever.

Another thing that really alienates me: when men at work talk about sports. I don't give two shits about spectator sports, and I think they're a complete waste of time. I'm a male, of course, but unlike many men I really hate sports and sports fanaticism. I don't see this too much at work (as it seems my attitude toward sports isn't that uncommon among men in tech), but I do see it now and then, especially with older and more outgoing/managerial type men.

So I don't think it's entirely a male vs. female issue: certain groups of people working together will frequently have certain common interests, which will not be shared by other people in that workplace. If I worked with a bunch of women and they all started talking about some current TV show, I'd also be alienated, because I don't own a TV or watch any current TV shows (except Game of Thrones...). Should I insist that women refrain from talking about TV shows? That seems a bit extreme.
Apple just bought the app it once crowned 'most innovative' and made it free
An important piece of the story which was missing. Thanks for linking and summarizing.
Yes and no. The only production-ready of such a requirement is "MUC light". Basically, it is a very simplified version of MUC, that does not rely on user's presence. It exists in the MongooseIM server, in Smack library for Android and in XMPPFramework library for iOS, as well as in Mangosta iOS and Mangosta Android, two free/libre/opensource clients soon to be released. So it is ok to develop a solution based on this approach.

The "open extensions" is available here:
https://mongooseim.readthedocs.io/en/latest/open-extensions/...
We call this "open extension" because it was not accepted by the XSF, but it is very close to an open standard.
It's for the benefit of everyone including you.

I find that in these topics, people jump to the problem solving step before problem formulation.

In the best case, there might be a response of "because sexism/racism" to "why this problem".

We have a limited amount of "diversity funds". If the appeal is emotional and one of righteousness, we should use the funds to aid the category of people with the most disadvantages.

That would be foreign immigrants because their native language is not English (almost all documentation, code and communication is in English) and they do not have a good understanding of American culture which cripples them in politics and communication.

I'm not sure which I hate more. Union shenanigans or waterless urinals. They both stink.

There are a few places here that use those urinals and the smell hits me in the face every time I enter the lavatory.

In the case you describe, perhaps the unions are a net positive because their protectionist rule will make it easier to replace those waterless stink pits with actual urinals in the future.

I dunno, I'm inclined to agree with your first impulse - after all, the assumption of "well it's been a while, surely they've gotten their shit together by now?" would be the reason one would think they'd be on the ball today :P

If the code's retired, it could just as easily be because some inferior process led by devs without the proper guiding vision just swapped it out for some overengineered platform they 'know how to code in better' that's being hailed as the future of such-and-such that doesn't reimplement nearly as completely or robustly features that people had come to expect, and is less stable to boot.

Musk has gotten quite a bit of flack (in general and on HN specifically) about it; now, unlike Kalanick, he defended the decision and stick with it rather than resigning on the eve of the first meeting.

Now, Kalanick actually managed to draw more attention by creating additional news by his dramatic resignation, but as far as criticism of the initial decision, I don't see any evidence he was treated differently than Musk; often, the two were mentioned together in both news articles and criticism.
Not sure about the others, but Louis CK took a substantially smaller offer financially from FX as opposed to other networks because they were the only one that allowed him to do what he wanted with little interference, which certainly sounds like a positive thing for making original content.

> Because of the way the game is designed, this inevitably results in one person acquiring a majority of the assets on the board, and beginning the slow, painful, friendship-destroying process of grinding the other players out of the game, turn by turn.

First, no, we use digital machines because manipulating analog quantities is an impossible mess. The essence of an analog quantity is that it is unquantified, and therefore there is no real way of telling if two quantities are the same or not, or whether they would have been the same if one of the two hadn't been perturbed by something. Whenever you write down (or emit in any way) analog information, you're losing part of it; it can and will be altered by any amount of noise, and altered again when it's picked up by a reader or receiver. Not altered as in "a bit of noise but we can discard that". Altered in the sense of "it's impossible to tell the information from the noise". There is not much processing or storing you can do with it.

As for the fact we're "symbolic creatures", perhaps we are, but again- is it because our brains are natively digital or because we really put a lot of effort in trying to be symbolic? (I don't know whether our brains can be called digital- neural networks seem more analog than digital, but there might be quantization going on at some levels to manage the complexity and the noise of handling analog information.) Maybe symbolic reasoning emerges despite being really hard to master, because it actually manages to grasp some fundamental aspect of reality?
The way the system is set up now puts the candidate at a disadvantage because he or she has no idea what the company is willing to pay or what their criteria are. In a situation where the cards are laid on the table -- here is the position or positions and here is the salary or salaries -- both parties have the same information and are free to focus entirely on the question of competence. A lot of the negotiation process now involves irrelevant crap like finding out your current salary -- so that then the candidate has set the lowest acceptable offer and the company can negotiate from there.

Besides penalizing candidates for lacking knowledge that isn't really relevant to work performance (like how to dance around offering a current salary, for instance), the current system also tends to perpetuate whatever disparity already exists by tending to base offers at least in part on current salaries, and also will reflect the gender disparity shown in responses to salary negotiations which I mentioned above.

I don't guarantee such a system would make things better but I do think there are some reasons to think it might.

Reader's active users, though, tended to be influencers who read a lot and shared what they read with their friends on social media. So they still drove traffic, just by a different mechanism.

Many of the people I followed on Reader moved to Twitter after Google took it down and mimicked its social functions there. I'd wager they're still either using RSS readers or jury-rigging Twitter into being something like it.

Why would a work group be going to a happy hour in the first place? That's bad because it assumes everyone is OK with drinking alcohol. Now you're alienating Mormons, ex-alcoholics, people who choose not to drink, and people who get physically ill from drinking alcohol. How about keeping workplace socialization at the workplace instead? Or perhaps at a decent sit-down restaurant where people can order food instead of getting liquored up and potentially saying or doing something embarrassing or harassing?

I've been meaning for a long time to start a site to track these events of businesses getting sidelined over regulatory hurdles - similar to those sites who track police shootings. Collecting data is the best way to bring light to prevalent but maligned issues like these. I get the impression there are hundreds of these small stories that could have had an impact on the marketplace but get crushed by regulatory/incumbent barriers.

We only ever hear about it when a big company runs into these issues. But for the most part it's usually people who are already taking a huge financial risk to do an entrepreneurial activity and they don't have the runway/capital to deal with the problem, let alone invest the time to draw attention to the issue in the press or politically.
If the argument there is so few women coders why isn't it also why are there so many male garbage collectors (I could list a great many undesirable jobs here), prisoners, homeless and combat fatalities? Is the goal to balance those out as well?

No, I don't think so. Understanding English is germane to the job; your gender is not. Besides that, why exactly are you talking about "foreign immigrants" as a distinct category from women?
Why would you want tipping specifically, rather than just a rate and pay increase?
The dilemma is that those jobs might not be skilled and high-pay without unions.

Part of the reason there's so much make-work in unions today is because as a percentage of the workforce unions have largely been relegated to public works projects and other niches reliant on political support. It's an existential crisis for unions and their middle-class laborers, and so they're going to flex every political muscle they can.

Even though unions dominate in a country like Germany, the number of union workers required for any particular task is significantly less than is typical in the U.S. And that's because there's more union work available for their members.
When union work disappears in the U.S., the union members don't just disappear, too.

I guess as a developer this approach is useful if your first version is bug ridden, gets terrible reviews and you quickly push an update that fixes them all. Your product is doomed. Maybe after 5 updates or something to an app it should show the 'all ratings' as defaults but before that show 'current version'.
