These are potential golden parachutes. As in they have not received this compensation... because the majority of them are still running their companies.

Your comment reads a little disingenuously, or maybe you didn't understand the article.

The pushback is due to the perception that the incentives are misaligned. Right or wrong, people feel she ran the company into the ground. In that light, they feel the compensation is undue.

To be clear, this has nothing to do with her gender and everything to do with the perception that she is a charlatan.

When she was hired, I thought, "she's qualified." And then I watched and listened during her press tour on the morning news shows and conference interviews... she spoke like a visionary -- someone with all the ideas to turn Yahoo around. And I thought, "that's awesome, let's see how she does." And now, here we are.

I've seen the same pushback against Shai Agassi -- a male -- for being a visionary charlatan... for somehow falling into great fortunes with little to show.

Quite true. Also, they don't actually care all that much, because most of them have their housing subsidized by federal loans or their wealthy parents or both.

I now understand the issue with the red portion and the [x]. That will be fixed soon.

For the page, there was a bug with get params, those killed the output inspector. I fixed those now, it should be better able to fetch pages like http://www.plndr.com/product/browse?a=34714&catId=0&version=.... I was able to extract the product names from there in an example page, just a download block and an extract block selecting `.product-cell .product-title`. If you still have problems, would you please comment again, open a bug on https://github.com/pipes-digital/pipes/issues or send me a mail? Kind of crucial to iron the kinks out.

The parse errors are annoying, but I failed silencing them so far. The XML parser is throwing them regardless of try-catch, I don't know why. But they will be just ignored later on: 'View output' should show the pure html (instead of parsed and highlighted XML) instead. That seemed to work fine so far (but might fail in a different browser than those tested...).

We could try to regulate away the good fortune of the people who bought the house, or we could try to convince the tech industry that they actually don't all need to be colocated, alleviating competition for resources in that area. What I've observed about human nature suggests that neither would be very popular.

I agree that providing dinners is kind of symbiotic. The worker gets free dinner and in return the employer gets outsized compensation in the form of work (symbiosis is not equal). That said, I never feel obliged to stay just because there is dinner served. I'm quite sure at places I've worked it's not even a tacit thing. I do know people who "hang out" just to get a free dinner and then leave --and again the company knows this and to my knowledge there is no frowning upon that (of course, if everyone did it, I'm sure it would become frowned upon).
According to Yahoo reporting[1], a board member made a sexist joke at their all-hands meeting to address this report today.

Huffington: There’s a lot of data that shows when there’s one woman on the board, it’s much more likely that there will be a second woman on the board

Bonderman: Actually what it shows is it’s much likely to be more talking

So they can get a free dinner? Or maybe they're just happy to work a bit late, avoid peak-hour traffic, and then head home?

I work 6am-10pm one day a week voluntarily, though I work for myself. I avoid traffic, parking is easier, and I get the office to myself without distractions for about 6 hours.
It seems to me like the primary reason this turned into a big deal is because of context, not the remark per se. Not only was it at a large meeting where they were supposedly going to improve on the issue of how women are treated there, but it interrupted the only female board member. So, that is why this has turned into drama. It speaks volumes wrt the level of lack of respect for women there and just how deep it runs.

It just makes it an easier target that the remark was about women. But I am guessing this would have become news even if he had said something else because the point is "We are gathered here today to talk about how we are going to up our game and treat women with genuine respect...let me show you exactly how much respect I have for women by interrupting the only female board member to kind of mock her and the entire agenda we are discussing."

That is my read on it.
There's a good argument to be made that organisms which reproduce with haploid gametes (animals and plants) truly generate "new" individuals when the sperm and egg fuse to create the first cell with a nucleus containing a truly unique genotype. However, organisms that reproduce by fission, where one complete living cell divides into two identical complete living cells (minor single-site mutations aside) have a much stronger case to claim that they are both still "the same" organism, as old as the original. So, no, you aren't the oldest organism on the planet, but many bacteria could be considered to be a billion or two years old.

Wow, yeah I agree on the psychology graduate thing.

Full disclosure: I was a psychology graduate.

I did a PhD, learned and loved stats (and R) and discovered that coding/development was kinda fun. Now I have a job with a well-known tech company doing data science.

But still, it would have been way easier if I'd gotten a degree in computer science. No PhD (and years of poverty) and I'd probably have a bunch more money.

But yeah, you should focus on what you can do, not what you (feel you) can't.
Yes,they are, but with the NRA, politicians are scared to pass any restrictions on gun limitations, effectively stopping it before it starts. With the ACLU, politicians are quick to erode our other rights and only compromise after a long fight leaving us with fewer rights. Over time, our rights are fewer and fewer. I always ask myself what would a WWI vet think of our current state of rights?

I think the ACLU does a great job, but they aren't as effective as the NRA.

The problem really is almost one of metagaming.

People who are reading this are likely to have seen, for example, questions which read as if they're asking for a conditional probability ("John is male, 33 years old, and has a degree in English literature; what is the probability he works as a barista?") but are designed to let the questioner turn around and say "Ah-HA! I got you! It was really a question about the base rate (in this case, of baristas)!".

As posed and with knowledge of that issue, this question reads like an attempt to do the opposite: to pose a question which seems like it's asking about the base rate of boys vs. girls, but then the questioner turns around with "Ah-HA! I got you! It was really a question about the conditional probability!"

Once it's phrased in a way that makes explicit that it really is a question about conditional probability, and not an attempt to lure someone into a base-rate trap, there's no paradox.

Complicating things is that analyses usually focus on the day of the week as the crucial factor, when it's easier to get to an intuitive understanding of the probability via dealing with the day-of-week first and then focusing on the small but crucial change that comes from knowing the gender of one of the children. After accounting for day-of-week you are left with 28 equally-probable situations, with at least one girl in 14 of them, for the expected 1/2. Then the fact that you end up at a probability just over 1/2 is due to the elimination of the case in which both children are girls (since we know at least one is a boy), which pushes the final result to 13/27 in favor of the second child being a boy.

The annular eclipse in California in 2012 really didn't draw much in the way of crowds. Some friends and I drove up to near Mt Lassen and found a field with no real traffic or crowds to contend with. There were others in the field we ended up in, but it was really pretty straightforward.

It seems like there's a lot more hype around this one; I'm not sure why. Maybe 'total' vs 'annular'? Personally, I think they're both pretty spectacular, and annular eclipses have the added benefit of having the awesome ring-of-fire effect.

Here are my viewing tips, based on my experience in the 1979 eclipse in Oregon.

You can photograph the eclipse, but you will have a much grander experience if you don't try. Photography is just a distraction from the awesome spectacle of the eclipse, including the phenomena that happen on the ground.

There will be plenty of other people taking great photos, so enjoy those after the eclipse. A total eclipse, viewed directly with your own eyes, is truly an experience of a lifetime. No photograph comes close.

Contrary to one or two other comments, eye protection is not necessary during totality and will prevent you from seeing the full beauty of the corona. It is perfectly safe to view the total eclipse with the naked eye, or even with binoculars. Only the partial phases need eye protection (and they definitely do). [1] [2] [3]

In fact, on the hillside we ended up at, something interesting happened. Most of the people wore dark sunglasses and faced away from the sun during the first partial phase, in order to get their eyes a bit acclimated to the dark. The partial eclipse isn't very interesting compared to totality, and the fun stuff at that point is happening on the ground: there are ripples of light dancing on the ground like you see on the bottom of a shallow stream. And you may get to see the shadow rushing toward you at 10,000 miles an hour!

The moment it reached totality, there were shouts of "it's total!" up and down the hill. Everyone took off their sunglasses and looked directly at the total eclipse. Many of us brought binoculars and viewed the corona with them.

The danger is that it is tempting to keep looking at the end of totality, when the string of beads starts to appear at the edge of the moon (where the sun is starting to peek through the moon's valleys), and finally the "diamond ring" where a larger part of the sun appears through the deepest valley. If you bring proper eye protection, switch to it the moment the string of beads appear, and definitely before the diamond ring appears! I recommend doing this after totality and not before, so you don't interfere with your eyes' dark adaptation before totality.

1) Bootstrapping has other meanings in engineering and cs already

2) Its so vague as to what they mean, are they just starting a business, or (as it seems more often than not) starting a business using only their own capital, with a plan that they will grow before seeking investment?

Any meaning that could be attached to this term would be better conveyed, in a similar number of characters, by speaking plain English. Enough with the meaningless jargon. yuk

You are possibly right to be frustrated about gender problems, but your suggestion — that in the fight for gender equality it's ok to construct a double standard for men and women — is mistaken. If you want to fix gender inequality, fix specific unjust advantages and disadvantages. The idea that because men have blanket "privilege" women should be compensated with additional privileges leads to more inequality, not less.

No. Breathing is not "subjective". Shelter and food are not subjective values. Freedom is a necessity of living as a proper human being. It all relates to your standard of value. For humans, life under the guidance of reason, or range-of-the-moment emotionalism? for grass, growing with sun, water, and nutrients; or death in darkness, drought, or lack of CO2? etc.

As for reality being subjective -- do you look before crossing the road? when was the last time you jumped naked from the top of a skyscraper? would you enjoy a plate of plutonium for breakfast?
