I am the highest ranked woman on HN because women are generally not all that warmly welcomed here. So if you don't think women are asking you for money on the internet, maybe it is because you are mostly talking to men.

It is hard to ask for anything at all when silenced by the general behavior of men online. I offend in part because I fail to shut up, in spite of the sometimes horrible treatment I receive through no fault of my own.

I routinely hear men here tell each other that their high karma is evidence of competence. No one says that about me -- except me. When I say it, it gets ridiculed.

I routinely see men here ask for help with making their businesses profitable. They are not misinterpreted as begging for money. When I do it, I am accused of panhandling or ignored or it otherwise typically is not very helpful.

It would be nice if you would just stop digging your grave deeper. Your first remark was just sort of dumb. But you get more offensive with each iteration of telling me it is somehow all my fault that I can't get taken seriously no matter how hard I try, a thing I have been doing for literally years, which is part of how I ended up the highest ranked woman here.

The next closest openly female member is many, many thousands of points behind me, yet I am far from the bottom rung of the leaderboard. So all the evidence suggests that, sadly, I get taken more seriously here and get more respect than most women who basically don't bother to open their mouths, even when they have serious tech jobs.

I have many thousands more karma than the only female cofounder of Y Combinator, Jessica Livingston. She currently has 3521, which is hundreds more than she had the last time I looked. https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=jl

> The last time it tried to interfere with the market

OTOH, the first few times it interfered with the market they solved widespread nutritional deficiencies that were killing, crippling, and otherwise substantially harming hundreds of thousands of people every year. I'm speaking of the fortification programs:

On balance I'd prefer they keep at it. Anyhow, the government was simply echoing the advice of the medical establishment. At worse they've merely been a few years behind those recommendation, which is nothing on the scale of a lifetime.

If you have a beef, it's with he medical and nutritional sciences, which invested too much confidence in what should have been recognized as problematic research results.
We need to incentivize people running for public office. Taking away privacy is not the way to do that. And I'm a complete advocate for openness in government where it matters, like in policy analysis--that's the field I work in (https://www.OSPC.org)
So much this! I am appalled at this thread possibly full of non-asian people who think having a room and board househelp is slavery.

They are free to quit and renegotiate salaries. Their children are free to do whatever they want, infact we help in their education and give them gifts. If anything it tends to be a more empathic employer-employee relationship, albeit with shit salary.

There is real slavery however, bonded labour, forced child beggars. Seeing this not being mentioned at all, I don't think we have many asian people here, just westerners speculating.
There's more benefits you can give than a check and some old junk. Things like enjoying your family while you're still alive, treating them to little things that won't bankrupt you, and appreciating them more directly.
That doesn't explain why they are not spending their money, which is what the article mostly concerns.
I'm wondering if there's an insulin response to a carbonated drink?

This sounds very plausible to me. The small intestine, in response to being stretched by food, releases hormones which trigger the production of insulin; this is effectively a preemptive strike against the blood glucose increase which usually occurs from a meal. (The pancreas also releases glucagon in order to ensure that the insulin release does not result in hypoglycaemia, resulting in something called the "Chinese Restaurant Effect" in type 1 diabetics: Eating a large meal can trigger a sharp increase in blood glucose even if the meal in question does not contain any carbohydrates.)

While this particular effect has only been measured with food, not gas, I'd assume the same physiological cause would trigger the same hormonal effect.

GPS time does not have leap seconds:
http://www.oc.nps.edu/oc2902w/gps/timsys.html

> GPS Time is a uniformly counting time scale ... The word "uniformly" is used above to indicate that there are no "leap seconds" in this time system.

> The GPS message contains information that allows a receiver to convert GPS Time into Universal Time

In fact the article you linked corroborates this, because they used GPS time to show how inaccurate NTP servers are.

I think that you are right. A lot of people is arguing about investments, health care, etc. like if human beings where "Homo economicus". We are not. We are not immune to rational arguments, but we take a lot of decisions based in what we learned in our youth. "Homo economicus" was an interesting way of thinking about humans, it is no more.

Do you think that no one noticed that, or do you think that it's more likely that the spending of retirees now is being compared to retirees in the past? The article suggests the latter, and not the rather obviously silly comparison you're suggesting they've made.

This is the result of central planning on the part of government. It allowed the AMA to do insane things like stopping new medical schools from opening for DECADES. It allows the AMA to continue to artificially limit the practitioners in all medical professions to keep wages high.

As a specific anecdote of the problem of government in healthcare: in my city a new children's hospital opened up a few years ago. The other area hospitals petitioned the government to not allow them to build the hospital until certain concessions were met. Among the concessions I'm aware of are not allowing the new hospital to own a medical chopper for 8 years. It was also not allowed to build a Level 1 trauma center. And of course that's after YEARS of not even being able to break ground while all this negotiating and concessions were being figured out. This type of interference raised the cost of healthcare for everyone in my city while likely decreasing the quality of care.
Well currently we live in an economic system that is predicated on domestic consumption of goods and services and experiences downturns when such spending tapers.
Wooden sticks? Crops? Bet they took a few iterations to get right too.
Curious, How do base authorities handle off base housing? My husband is in the military and our off base housing is just a normal house we bought. Base authorities have nothing to do with our house. I'm wondering if you're talking about military owned off base housing? Here they are wholly operated by a private company and also rent to civilians and aren't really much different than renting normal private housing.

We've never lived overseas though. I imagine that's pretty different.

I totally believe you have different experience than me, I'm curious to what they are.

I just realised you are the same rabble in "Hatching Twitter"[1] and you were there even during the Odeo days!

Since you were too humble to mention it yourself, I thought I point that out to those folks that don't know who you are so that people know your opinion definitely has some weight in the matter. :)

Anyway, interesting that your basic point of Biz was that he was an everyman but I posit that while it may be a good role to have in a startup (with all the internal dramas and such), it may not work in a "corporate" environment given that Twitter has thousands of employees[2]? I have been working for more than a decade and have met my fair share of "everymans" but it is my personal anecdotal experience that these guys usually get shredded in the politics of the corporate world. More so considering that apparently Biz use to get on the nerves of Jack[3]?

A jester can be loved by the king in his court but the minute the King finds him annoying, not long will it degenerate into an off-with-his-head scenario.

Stupid is what the conservatives have been doing for decades, namely leaning on their relationship with the US as an excuse to take a grotesque stance towards their own history. Japan, had it followed a similar course as Germany, could have reconciled themselves with the countries they tried to conquer and built a true economic union with Taiwan, Korea, and others in the region, which would have acted as a true check on a rising China.

Instead, and admittedly with the encouragement of the US, they took a "temporarily embarrassed imperial" stance, cultivated an irrational and racist belief in their own inherent economic superiority, alienated their neighbors, and gave China an international relations scapegoat for anytime it was useful. The idea that they're some victim of Chinese circumstances with rising militarism as their only option ignores the decades of short-sighted conservative policy that put them in such a vulnerable position.

This is sort of along the lines of something I've commented on with my wife a couple of times recently. People like to see themselves as doers of good, not evil. It helps keep a person sane. Not many people are okay with being bad people (doing unethical things on purpose). So what do we do when we are acting unethically? We have internal justifications and rationalizations that we use to excuse unethical behaviors in our own minds in order to keep a positive picture of ourselves in our own minds or identities.
In such a scenario, where would this energy come from? Or am I not understanding this properly?
I use senators as an example, but it is hard to have representative democracy when you have no relationship with those you are meant to represent. I always bring up Dunbar's number[1] in the context of politics, because I have concluded that you can't have legitimate representation much beyond it. You can't care about your constituents legitimately as a limit of human psychology.

Without fail, every single state and federal representative today is representing on the orders of tens of thousands to millions of people per elected official. It is unreasonable to expect them to act in the will of their constituents when they have no way to know them as people and not figures. It is a fundamental fault I have always seen in democracy the world over, and think it is where the pressure from many people for direct democracy comes from, albeit misguided.

It also shared characteristics with the life of an animal that were not uncommon. I think the comparison risks trivializing what is described.
It's more simple than that. Growing inequity damages democracy.

Some of the major causes of inequity: Excess labor pushing down wages. Increased productivity leading to increased profits. Taxing income more than assets. Runaway housing, healthcare, education costs. Blah blah blah.

Any serious discussion of releveling the Capital vs Labor playing (battle) field has to tackle this list.
If you've been paying attention at all, whistle blowing is actually a learned technique.

Some blunder forth into hell unimaginable, and others create a springloaded safety net before cutting away. It's often difficult to distinguish between the two, since whistle blowing often captures spectacular attention, and even the flame-outs that jump out of the frying pan and into the fire seem inspirational in that sense of a tragic, yet dashing pyrrhic victory.

But seriously, any given whistle blower should consciously attempt to organize a launch pad and a landing zone, even if for a crash landing. For every poorly understood tragedy, we usually get another negative example of "why no one should do such a thing," rather than "what went wrong and how to do it right."

> but I can't understand the fascination with Aliens

Aliens is THE perfect movie for me. The story is simple but eventful and with lots of surprises. There are many characters that are well written and who all have their opportunity to shine. Cinematography-wise, it's extremely solid with Cameron as a director, doing some of his very best work. Casting was perfect, everyone fit extremely well in their roles. Even special effects for the most part, were extremely well done and remain believable to this day. And the musical score was the icing on the top.

Really, I can't find anything wrong with Aliens. I like Alien (1) as well but it's a very, very different movie.
Like a lot of software problems, you can create a poor solution very quickly and easily and this fools people into thinking it must be pretty straight forward. As a Windows desktop developer I could quickly create an app that takes the output from a web cam and sends it over my local network to another machine for display.

A single frame might be 1024x768x3bytes ~= 2MB. For video we need 24 frames per second giving me 28MB per second to be sent and then shown. Over the internet I need a connection of at least 28MB x 8 bits = 224Mbs which is why it works between two machines on my local network but not over the internet. So start adding compression. Then you notice that even when you can hit the performance metric the image is still juddering. Well the internet does not deliver your packets at a nice consistent pace, so you need to buffer slightly to try and get around this. Plus the connection speed between your machines might vary over time and so you need to detect this and adjust the number of frames or resolution to adapt. Sometimes your target machine is behind a firewall and you cannot make a direct connection between you and them. So now you need a third-party server that can both connect to that acts as a relay.

So the implementation starts getting pretty hard but if you manage to do a great job then people using it just think it is simple.

To be clear they were invited by the National Commission for the Control of the Presidential Campaign not to diffuse the leak without verifying if the documents were genuine.
They reminded them that if they did diffuse fake documents they risked legal action against them.

Translated from french newspaper:
The National Commission for the Control of the Presidential Campaign (CNCCEP) on Saturday called on the media and "citizens" not to relay the contents of these internal documents. The proceeding had been seized, in the evening of Friday, by En marche !. After meeting on Saturday morning to "take stock", she stresses in a statement that "the dissemination or the re-broadcasting of such data, obtained fraudulently and in all likelihood, may have been misinterpreted, is likely To receive a criminal qualification for several reasons and to engage the responsibility of its authors ". The CNCCEP warns: "On the eve of the most important election deadline for our institutions, it calls on all actors present on websites and social networks, first and foremost the media, but also all citizens, In order not to alter the sincerity of the ballot, not to violate the prohibitions laid down by law and not to expose oneself to the commission of criminal offenses "

I am not readily finding citations, but I recall one of my history professors stating that the veil was heralded as a vast improvement for women in terms of freedom in some parts of the world because, historically, women in a lot of places left the house twice in their life: Once to get married, a second time to get buried. The veil allowed them to at least leave the house.

I don't think you know as much about the history of women as you think you do. This is probably not due to personal defect. Most history focuses on the accomplishments of men out in public. The lives of women tend to be more private and a lot of it just does not get recorded or noted. But I am a woman, I have been a history major, I did the homemaker and mom thing for a lot of years and I have had a class in the history of women and have read books out of personal interest on both women's history and the history of slavery.

The role of a wife and mom is often not as different from Lola's as you seem to assume.

I mean....the world is a far better place now than it was 200 years ago. Society has always had weak morals as a whole. It was the few and strong willed that built American society -- with a heavy disdain for the decision making capability of the proletariat. If anything what you see on the Internet simply isn't real. It is a fake and dangerous to absorb ideals from. Some of it is real, but which part?
