The burden's on you to show it's a poor argument. I can just as easily state that it's a great argument.

Also, I think it's clear that OP expects down-votes for "going against the gender narrative", rather than the incidental swipes at America; That said, it is baiting to provoke in this style, rather than stick to the point.
Sorry, I could have been more elaborate. Let me try to give some examples of what I mean:

- A computer is quite complicated: It requires electricity, gates, transistors, boolean logic, a CPU, machine code, a machine code low level boot loader, an operating system, a windowing server, an application framework. And finally, within the application framework we can build something like Notepad that is really trivial and simple to understand for the average user. A calculator is much simpler (given the whole tech stack), but trying to enter text there (like in notepad) would be much more difficult (if it had a stack, you could enter the hex value of each char, making up words).
In this case, the beautiful simplicity that defines modern computing can only work because we first had to build and invent all the layers below it.

- A web browser / server is also, again, really complicated. The end result is that users go to google.com, enter a search term, and receive the results. Without the additional complexity of MapReduce, millions of servers, AI, etc, Google search wouldn't be so simple.

Ethereum is still in the phase where complex technology is added so that finally simple layers can be put on top. Raiden [1] is an example of that: As a user, I want to pay something immediately. Looking at a block explorer after payment with a transaction ID to see when there're enough blockchain confirmations is very complex. At some point this will be the technology under the hood as transactions will happen in near-realtime. Then, no user has to even understand the transaction, transaction time and confirmations.

Ethereum is indeed re-inventing much of the current web stack, but this happens, of course, in the context of decentralised, trustless, open computing.

Actually, I think you are missing the point.

How is going to school, starting up a career and writing books is any different than going to school, starting up a career and writing code?

Do you think that the code we write add that much value to society? Unless you are a computer scientist and pushing the boundaries, our code will simply rot away in 4 years and nobody will remember one line of it.
You are correct. It also gets more similar in Dutch: "-schap"

Gemeinschaft -> gemeenschap
Freundschaft -> vriendschap
Gesellschaft -> gezelschap

But in the case of "survivorship", the German equivalent doesn't include "-schaft". It sounds awkward. Probably in Dutch as well.
I value developer productivity over machine performance too, but they're doing the opposite here: developer productivity is not helped with an unnecessary second layer of containment.

With containers on top of VMs, you now have to manage which containers run on which VMs (and the cloud provider worries about physical boxes), with a pure container solution you just spawn containers (and the cloud provider worries about physical boxes)
Indeed, Darius makes this clear when he moves onto the more serious second half of his talk: "... beyond a certain threshold of work that you put into your projects, success is entirely out of your hands". You can substitute "projects" and "success" for whatever you feel applies for your situation.

If anyone doesn't want to watch the entire video then just watch the last 39 seconds, it ties in nicely with the comic as Darius argues that talking about "how to buy more lottery tickets" is useful whereas "how to win the lottery" is not.
Are you saying that NPR doesn't have many alternative facts?

I think the point the original comment was trying to make was more that NPR doesn't have much in depth coverage when it comes to science. You'll think NPR does an exemplary job when it comes to content you don't know much about. But when you're more knowledgeable about the field being covered, you start to see minor inaccuracies to "dumb down" the concepts.

Which isn't a bad thing necessarily, it gets the point across without being too wrong.
I'd agree sensitive topic require thoughtful posts, but the epedemic of "I'll down-vote because I'm emotionally offended by the conclusion" rather than discussion on topics is a shame.

And that's why i think its not a discovery, we knew it was there before.
And there it is: They failed because they "didn't work hard enough." It's really easy to classify failures as not working hard enough, and successful people as having worked hard enough.

But what's hard enough? Can we quantify by any means other than the outcome?

We can point to people who have never worked on their business for more than 40 hours a week and their business has succeeded. We can point to people who have put more than 120 hours a week into their business who have failed. Who really worked harder?
Then don't take about global warming. Talk about conserving water, talk about providing cheaper forms of energy for cars / home, talk about enhancing federal / state parks, etc.
Indeed. It's an apples-to-oranges comparison. I'd be curious to know about other factors that are related to life choices and opportunities, such as:

... what's the social safety network like? Is there welfare? Are there government programs that will help with housing / food / healthcare for a single mom (working or not)? This absolutely influences things.

... what's the legal marital environment like? Are the laws regarding divorce more or less favorable to women in one place vs the other (property, child support, alimony, allowance of 'no-fault' divorces, burden of proof, etc)? This will also influence choices.

In both of these tangents, actual risk and perceived risk in various life choices is different based on the answer to those questions.

They mention that 'Default Timeouts' have been disabled. Urging users to 'Act according to your threat model!'.

I went to college late, after a few years out in the world. I had not originally intended to go into a technical field, but realized that's where some of my passions were so I went after a CS degree. Not coming from a technical place I had put almost no effort into mathematics during public school and so I found myself very very behind.

I bit the bullet and focused my first few semesters almost entirely on remedial math education, trying to fill in that gap. Because I now had a strong motivation, a little age, and focus, I managed to become a very good math student and even received the occasional award during my undergrad math education.

I've lost much of it, but I now know I can learn it, and many of the topics that had intimidated me at first turned out to be not a big deal once I got it. One day as a hobby I plan on starting over from algebra and work up again for fun.

I would just like to bring up how much I admire the way they want to profit off Caddy[1][2]. Sponsorships and focused development; followed by "remember, caddy is open source".

Part of the reason for removal (beyond just being difficult to maintain) is it is tied to the (now old) method of image storage where images were all just a tree of layers and any layer is considered an image even if you can't actually run that layer.

Today images are flat. You have a proper thing that is an image and and image is composed of layers. Some images may share layers (so they only need to be downloaded/stored once) but there is no hierarchy. You don't see layers anymore except by inspect an image (and even then only the content hash).
There are quite some reasons for this to be the preferred method.

Yes, this is a UI for Ethereum Smart Contracts. It is not in production yet, it is still running on the Ethereum Testnet. I suppose it will undergo more testing before it goes live on the main net.
There're a few smart contracts that are already in production and being used, but the whole smart contract (DAPP) ecosystem is currently blossoming. There're many interesting dapps soon to be released. Since everything ethereum is so new and untested, development takes much longer to make sure there're no non-obvious loopholes and bugs.

> Guidelines are not a black box that spits out a number of month in prison.

The Sentencing Guidelines are exactly a white box (a black box has concealed internal operations) that spits out sentences.

OTOH, since they aren't mandatory (by Supreme Court ruling; they were originally statutorily mandatory), they don't produce exactly the same rule-based system as they superficially represent.
In Rust's case, this is limited to unsafe code, at least; safe code should not have UB. (Though, IIRC there is one case right now, but that's a bug) UB is basically "breaking the invariants safe code expects."

Overflow is an example of something that's not UB in Rust, for example. (It's a "program error" and well-defined as two's compliment wrapping.)
It's both actually, MS is currently supporting approximately 7 OS flavors of windows as best I can tell, 5 of which are Windows 10 alone (7 SP1, 8.1, 10 RS1, 10 RS2, 10 CBB, 10 LTSB, 10 RS3). That's a lot of OS's to deal with and be ensuring that 'It just works'. If anything I would say this is a commentary on AMD and Intel's ability to make compatible processors than just on MS' ability to support. Unfortunately new processors have Errata and can be buggy pieces of garbage as Ryzen just showed with a bug in its FMA3 implementation that would cause a GP fault. MS has to test and handle these issues for every single supported CPU. To do this they have massive labs of machines with common CPU/Mobo combos that they deploy and run tests on with every single patch and build. Not surprisingly this isn't cheap and if you have to support effectively 7 different OSes you're going to make some cost decisions. I suspect this really was a decision to focus lab hardware and development time on the latest OS versions that can more easily share the errata patches than anything nefarious.

If there's going to be a union election (which only happens once enough people say they want to join), employers supply the contact information that they have on file so that both sides have an opportunity to speak to employees. Obviously, employers are in an advantageous position, since they get to force people to attend their meetings, force people to do 1:1's to hear their side, in many cases (not this one) also get to see them and talk to them about it every day. They're also in a position of power over the employee.

Info isn't shared until enough people say they want a union. While the legal threshold is much lower, normally that doesn't happen until about 70% say they want a union by signing cards.
It never is.
No, the agents they choose and supervise, not the abstract fictions, are doing that.
Specifically, a Dutch court. Back when one of my friends introduced me to anime fansubs, he was very clear about the community norms. Nobody is to make any money from this ("not for sale or rent!") If the show ever gets picked up for US distribution, you tape Star Trek (or whatever) over your copy of the fansub. It's not to be kept around if there's a legal way to get it. Those norms were obviously intended to avoid legal trouble, but it seems those days are long over.
The Office of Educational Technology produced a report on Educational Software, what the biggest problems are and where the greatest opportunities are for solving them. It's a great read with lots of suggestions if you want to learn about a field, public education, that I personally feel is still severely behind the curve when it comes to the Information Revolution:

It's a great opportunity in a field that, despite budget cuts and under-funding, still has millions of dollars to put into software that could meet the needs of school districts across the country. Most of what's out there now is sorely lacking, leaving teachers and schools to use a patchwork of solutions to meet their needs.

Both sides, owners and other workers, care about their own existing interests, not yours. Getting you involved, or keeping you from getting involved, is in both cases just a way to strengthen their own position. They don't care about your position. Why would they?

Or do you think the unions are just doing it for your sake out of the goodness of their hearts? Well if you're willing to be so trusting that they are doing the right thing, why not trust the owners as well?

Did you read the article? If it were just an assumption and no effort had been put into investigating the reasons for it and if/how those reasons can be addressed you would be right. From the article:

"A new study from Microsoft sheds some light...gender stereotypes, few female role models, peer pressure and a lack of encouragement from parents and teachers largely to blame."

So no assumptions are being made, this has been researched. This discussion is even about some of that research and it turns out girls are being discouraged by factors that are completely addressable.

> we simply ignore fields where women are over represented

Nobody's ignoring anything. My wife is a registered nurse here in the UK and encouraging men to get into nursing is definitely a thing. It turns out that men who do go into nursing have a significantly higher chance of promotion, which you'd hope would encourage them to and is it's own issue. But please, go off on a 'whataboutist' tangent as though the legitimate answer to every uncomfortable problem in the world is 'whatabout' some other problem.
The lesson is to be so good they can't ignore you.

Yes. Cutting beef from your diet and replacing it with other meats cuts about 80% of the difference in carbon emissions between the typical American diet and a vegetarian diet.

A great book for brushing up/re-learning pre-calc is "Precalculus Mathematics in a Nutshell"[0] by George F. Simmons (you can find it used cheap). He really boils it down to the essentials. For example here's how he opens his chapter on Trig:

"Most trigonometry textbooks have been written by people who appear to believe that the importance of the subject lies in its applications to surveying and navigation. Even though very few people become surveyors or navigators, the students who study these books are expected to undertake many lengthy calculations about the heights of flagpoles, the widths of rivers and the positions of ships at sea. The truth is that the primary importance of trigonometry lies in a completely different direction - in the mathematical description of vibrations, rotations, and periodic phenomena of all kinds, including light, sound, alternating currents and the orbits of the planets around the sun. What matters most in the subject is not making computations about triangles, but grasping the trigonometric functions as indispensable tools in science, engineering and higher mathematics. These functions and their properties are the sole subject matter of this chapter."

The entire book has that vibe. It's wonderful.
