Is it not extreme to claim that all software developers are racist and sexist, and are all "white straight male"?

The points she makes otherwise might indeed be worthy of discussion. However I think some of what she describes is simply misclassified data - black people get misclassified, but so do white people (but of course it doesn't make the news). Unless she can prove that white people are misclassified less frequently than black ones, she has no point.

The Tay incident was not due to bias but to trolls purposely feeding the IA racist information. Despite what she vaguely claim later in the article it wasn't encoded, not even subconsciously, in the bot by the developers.
I think you over estimate the complexity and required work to get to virtual impersonation. This will be a problem sooner than you think.

You are mistaken: the man shot by police was the neighbor of the person firing the machine gun (who as it happens had already been apprehended).

Don't forget US Border Patrol has the authority to setup checkpoints or pull over anyone within 100 miles of the border, without cause. A lot of people might be aware of this with respect to the border with Mexico, but it applies to Canada as well. In the northeast that covers about half of the states of Vermont and New Hampshire, basically all of Maine, and a lot of New York north of the Thruway (Syracuse/Albany).
True, but if you are being a douchebag in such a way that it interferes with a police officer's conduct of their duty, then that effect is not protected. So prosecuting this person for what they said would be wrong. Prosecuting for interfering in a Police officer's discharge of their duty would be though.

Incidentally this is my take on the 'shouting Fire in a cinema' issue. Shouting whatever you like shouldn't be a crime, just as firing a gun isn't in itself a crime. Context matters. Deliberately causing a panic is a crime, as is killing a person with a bullet fired from your gun. Intentions matter and even unintentional but negligently caused effects matter.

Less than one UK unit per day, with some days per week alcohol free. One unit is 10 ml of pure alcohol. Alcohol in the UK is sold with the percentage of alcohol by volume (ABV) listed. To find the units you multiply the serving size in litres by the ABV.

In the UK that's seen as "very low". Other countries have different cultures around alcohol.

https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthan...

There are problems with these numbers, because people tend to under-report how many drinks they've had, and how strong the drink was.

https://www.drinkaware.co.uk/research/data/consumption-uk/

> In 2015 in England, 55% of men said that they had drunk in the last year and that their average weekly alcohol consumption was no more than 14 units.

> 64% of women in England said that they had drunk in the last year and that their average weekly intake was no more than 14 units.

> In 2015, 11% of men and 7% of women in England said that their average weekly alcohol consumption was more than 14 units but no more than 21 units.

> In 2015 in England, 12% of men and 6% of women said that their average weekly alcohol consumption was more than 21 units but no more than 35 units.

> In 2015, 4% of men and 2% of women in England said that their average weekly alcohol consumption was more than 35 units but no more than 50 units.

This is important because there has been some publicity recently saying a drink a day is safe (mostly debunked now), or newspaper reports of the "benefits of red wine".

Here's one example of poor reporting: While we shouldn't increase the amount of pressure that pregnant women face (because they're already under considerable pressure) it's wrong to tell them that drinking wine daily is safe. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6078575#6079665

I've done it 30 days in a row once. Tolerance is really quite negligible at these doses. However you do definitely notice full +50ug trips between for about 1-2 days afterwards.

Also, tolerance is maybe the wrong word as it suggests that all effects are diminished. With psychedelics, pretty much all of them except DMT when microdosing, it seems more like this for continous microdosing without days off:

Day 3-4: Loss of the psychedelic "touch" in thought and perception, including associated creativity and easier ability to psychedelic thinking, now feels more like a stimulant without associated amphetamine bodyload

Day 5-6: Slight loss of clarity

Day 8-9: Further loss of clarity and beginning loss of energy and stimulation

Day 12-13: Sober state becomes indistinguishable from microdose - true tolerance sets in

This idea hit me harder than I expected -- I am reminded of the scene in Interstellar, where the main character's daughter's teacher asserts that we never went to the moon. I don't recall whether she genuinely didn't believe it, or whether she felt it was better to lie to the kids to keep them motivated in the present, but apparently we are getting much closer to having gatekeepers of knowledge be able to actively subvert the artifacts of history in ways which are indistinguishable to the audience. Scary stuff.

For the same reason most fire trucks in the USA have plastered on the back "Remain at least 300 feet behind vehicle".

... "Emergency vehicles" such as fire trucks and police vehicles respond to Emergencies. Emergencies are by definition unsafe.

So you could "follow" (from very far behind) -- but it's implied often times that individuals are following closer than permitted in order to provoke a response, or simply without discretion to the publics safety.
I see that all the time too. It's extremely frustrating , but i think the solution is that browsers should implement some sort of visual indication of where the bottom of the screen moves.
In Germany there's actually a law[1] (Google Translate[2]) that prohibits companies from putting "suprising" statements into their terms of services.

For example, you cannot put the fact that the user is signing up for a subscription service into the fine print or the terms of services when it is not stated anywhere else on the website. Even if the customer clicks the "yes, I have read the terms and totally agree with everything that's in there"-button.

I think most EU countries have similar rules[3].

Part of the issue is that our profession is so young. Engineers, in particular, have had centuries to professionalise. I our field, though, there are still lots of open questions, particularly with regard to the economic tradeoffs between development speed and code safety, and much of the argument is qualitative vice quantitative.

My reading of the article is that benefits are higher for wealthy, but when you account for taxes paid, they are "more even handed". Did I misinterpret something?

EDIT: I think I did misinterpret something. When you account for taxes paid, I think it is still well on the progressive side, rather than being even. May be moreso in the future, because it's pay-as-you-go.

It is much harder to look at a photograph now and say for sure it's real. Before photoshop, there were ways of manipulating photos, but they were much harder and did not yield nearly as good results. You can photoshop people into photos they were not originally in, doing things they have never done. Even Trump is having his hands enlarged in photos.

Maybe you're speaking specifically about "evidence" in the legal sense. I can't speak to that. But there are countless examples where you can't (and shouldn't) believe what you see, because it's not real.

"This is intentional because the React Native releases follow the copy of RN in Facebook's repo, which also sometimes uses alpha versions of React. It is correct to depend on React 16 alpha 6."

source: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/13291

"At times, React Native will depend on an alpha version of React – this happens in part due to the fact that RN has a more frequent release cycle than React itself, and that's the correct version to use when working with React Native.
We use alpha versions of React in production at Facebook so they should be pretty stable."

source: https://discuss.reactjs.org/t/why-does-reactnative-0-43-inst...

When did it become ok to use alpha versions in production? Or are they stable then? When did it become ok to call alpha something that is considered stable?

Good explanation. I always thought "worker" made more sense than "slave" in a distributed computing platform such as Hadoop.
While steel seems to be the most common material to built the towers, taller ones seem to use a hybrid construction where the lower part is built of reinforced concrete and the upper one out of steel. The problem seems to be to transport large steel segments as German streets mostly don't fit anything with more than 4m diameter. Towers made out of only concrete seem to be pretty rare.

Except his predecessors all had exactly the same behaviour. So either they were all crazy yet managed to build that massive security apparatus and perpetuate their regime. Or, more likely, you have never bothered to put yourself in their shoes to consider that this might be their optimal strategy (hint: Irak, Libya, Syria).

You claimed earlier to have proofs that the NK leadership is crazy. Where are they?
Is that surprising? I have nothing to do with react and even I felt like ordering a shield after reading that original post. It wasn't well thought-out criticism, it was full of attacks and poorly researched complaints.

At least for fixed wing aircraft, there is actually a bit of opening where hybrids could make sense: planes need big power reserves relative to their cruise power demand (or relative to moderate climb) for takeoff and landing abort capability. That extra power needs very little endurance and since electric is much heavier than fossil per Wh, but lighter per W, burning fuel for baseline demand augmented with batteries for peak can be a
meaningful optimization.
There was a recent episode on radio lab[1] in which it was highlighted that ex-military policemen are actually better than their counterpart because they have better control over there emotions and actions during a confrontation.

On the other hand, non-military people these days are not as well trained and are hence are more likely to shoot.

So ... you're not bothered that in this instance, LEO demonstrably "did something without full knowledge of the situation". Seems we should be holding LEO to a significantly higher standard of having full knowledge of a situation before doing something like employing lethal force. That's what we pay them for, and it shouldn't be to much to ask them to take an extra moment of extreme caution to verify the difference between a phone and an assault rifle.
Sorry for being oblique.

A day count is just the number of days since some arbitary point. Say today is 42849, tomorrow is 42850, etc.. If the user enters the 24th April 2017, you store 42849. When you read it back 42849 is always displayed as 24th April 2017.

There is no magic - you could just store 3 integers, or a formatted string say "20170424". Anything that doesn't involve timezones.

Perhaps, with your programming language you don't get the same issues, but to use java.util.Date you have to parse this into a number of milliseconds since 1 Jan 1970. You might round it down to midnight at the start of the day - or the end. You might select midnight according to local time (with or without daylight saving), you might use UTC, or you might unwittingly leave it to the machine. To persist this to a DB you might use some ORM mapping like Hibernate - which without careful configuration may also make some assumptions about timezone, and Oracle might do the same. By the time the value is read back, your date may not be the same one entered - and this may not show up until you pass into daylight saving.
What do you expect out of creatures that were molded by billions of years of evolution? If their ancestors hadn't been willing to fight over pieces of that rock, whether that willingness came from genetics or culture, they wouldn't be here today.

Dogmatic programmers are unreasonable. Then there's others who have discussions anywhere from partly to wholly trying to learn something in the process. I've seen people clarify or modify their position numerous times discussing programming on HN.
I have been posting business-related content (curated news about famous entrepreneurs) to LinkedIn for over a year now. At first, I thought it would be a good opportunity because no-one else was curating news in that way. But once the pages got to about 3000 users LinkedIn deleted them all without proper explanation. They deleted my Donald Trump page first (leading me to think they were anti-Trump), and then when I complained they deleted the other six pages I was curating [1]. After a month of discussions, I was able to get the pages back, but the signups had dropped by half. But I persisted, only to have the UI change and for signups to be down 70% from before. Instead of 10,000 followers for Elon Musk news, I should probably have 30,000 if they hadn't meddled with it. Meanwhile, crappy clickbait is shared all around the site. I don't know why I bother to be honest. The site is useless for content creators.

I cannot believe that you are honestly saying a 2x increase to throughput in production is something you "shouldn't take seriously" because the code isn't as readable as it was before.

Programmers are expensive. Hardware is cheap. That doesn't justify completely throwing out the window any performance increasing changes just because a fresh college grad won't be able to understand what's going on within 10 minutes.
I am confused by the wording of that graph. Does it include a lifetime of contributions and a lifetime of benefits? Or 12-15 years of contributions and a lifetime of benefits?
Shell = Maybe
Still, I have often heard that people change their view of the "world", once they had an impressive experience regarding our place in the universe. After people are "infected" by the "space virus", and often adjust their priorities. Of course, that might more more correlation than causation.

But I still like the idea that people can be cured from megalomania by a quick trip to the moon, the space station, or by just driving up and down one of our space elevators.
The Grim Biology of Poverty
They could be, no disagreement there.

Now I'm curious: what is the commercial value in the aggregated email content that would make someone want to pay for it, besides the purchase and receipt data that Slice is already providing (plus subscription and open rates)?
I apologetically admit to only a fair skimming of the article (enough to get the gist of it), but at the time observed that it didn't really delve into the requirements/benefits for Social Security and how that's a factor (beyond brief mention of "income inequality" and one of the eligibility requirements). Going back and reading in full detail, I noticed that the article didn't really discuss possible solutions to the problem.

My broader point was that a lack of modernization in how benefits are earned and paid out are reducing the payouts over-time for some of the poorest recipients of these sorts of programs. Giving subsistence income to the destitute helps to a point, but doesn't go far enough to really elevate one's standard of living to one which substantially increases health and reduces stress. Someone earning only $900/month probably isn't going to pay $100 for blood work and an x-ray as often as they should.
I personally wouldn't, but the people most susceptible to buying into that kind of thing would.
If the "fool" is obviously in the wrong, it's in the officers' best interests not to escalate the situation, or let their egos get involved, and subsequently shoot themselves in the foot.
