90% reduction? Seems ridiculous to me.

This number probably come from the fact that 9 out of 10 engines can be recovered, the last engine being in the disposable second stage. But even if we only talk about the engines, it completely disregards refurbishment costs.

And there are many other things that won't get recovered besides the second stage engine, like the rest of the second stage, fuel, LOX, helium, launch infrastructure and preparation costs. Parts fail and need to be replaced, and let's not forget the risk of a failed launch or recovery. To allow a 10x cost reduction, they also need to be 10x more reliable.

The reality is more about a 40% cost reduction goal, still great.

Why not wait till that before getting all hyped up. Isn't this exactly what the article criticizes?
The feeling was rather one of camaraderie: the challenges to unravel the deepest mysteries of the universe, the thrill in understanding another tiny bit of this grand puzzle, and the sheer wonder at how beautifully the physics hangs together, put us all in the same boat, so to speak.

This is what will end discrimination based on superficial differences: I think our mental reality is so much more interesting than our physical differences. Am I a man or a woman? Mostly I'm human. It may seem stupidly obvious to say that, but I feel it bears repeating.

This only seems sexist if you think that people only speak when allowed to speak. People speak when they speak, the rules of politeness are universal, and she had every right to speak up, and every right to pipe down. She could have just as easily been a bit uncomfortable, or just more interested in listening. The host was overbearing on the whole conversation from what I see. There could be any number of reasons why the host might interrupt the string theorist; and the argument that it must be sexism is just so just-so.

I don't see why people should be expected to all be equally sonorous, when clearly people are not equally interested in it.

The causation might also run the other way. She might have survived in the field and built up this attitude because she was fortunate early on in her career to have worked with some really good people who were just focused on the science, as opposed to being into trivial stuff like workplace power games. So there might have been some luck involved. She did say that early on she worked with great people.

If that's the cause of her attitude, the point about survivorship bias is still valid... but the reasons for survival are different. The luck of having a good work environment (unusual, some would say) caused the good experience and allowed her to stay in the field with a good attitude.

Edit: I'm not claiming it was definitely the way I say in this particular case, versus the way you said. I'm just saying both possibilities should be considered. Also we should acknowledge that sexism does exist, apart from perceptions of sexism, which admittedly can sometimes be wrong.

Do you know of a good resource that could bring a lay IT person up to speed on these kinds of nuanced details? To me it just seems lots of us just dont know about this stuff. I count myself lucky to have a paralegal SO who does it everyday and walks me through it, but most people don't have that.

You should especially take care of that if you have any major position in a larger group, not matter if it is a company department, an open-source project or a user-group.

If nobody cares visibly about social behaviour, that group is either doomed and won't achieve anything in the long run. Or it reduces a very low number of active participants - usually just one.
"that's why the neoliberals were voted into office, mainly due to problems with the economy."

Except they got their start by preaching monetarism as an appropriate response to the 1970s oil crisis ("inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon"). That was pretty much the economic equivalent of prescribing leeches and blood-letting to fight cancer.

Eventually the oil crisis subsided (for no reason relating to monetarism) and they took credit for that.

Ironically the choice to shift the economy to be oil dependent from coal dependent in the first place was done in order to shift the country from dependency on labor (coal required far more labor to mine but could be done locally) to dependency on the middle east, which was seen as more easily controlled:

I hear this argument a lot. Mostly from people trying to sell the idea of a highly dilutive funding round.

Sure, further rounds are a sign the company is doing well. The important word being "sign," they don't actually make the company more valuable (what the company does with the money they raise does).
If you own a lot of stock, you probably already know if the company is doing well or not. In that respect, the round just puts a number on what you already know.

The math is simple. All things being equal, owning more % of a company == more money. To try to spin dilution in any other way is stretching the truth pretty far, and is rather manipulative IMHO.

If you're a white heterosexual male you're probably not used to being uncomfortable because the whole world was made for you. You don't feel uncomfortable when you see the police. You don't feel uncomfortable walking down your street at night by yourself. You don't feel uncomfortable going to your church. You don't feel uncomfortable kissing your spouse in the street.

In my opinion, the discomfort you're feeling is nothing compared to the others I described. So get used to it. We do the right thing because it's right, not because it's easy.

Yes, but that's just another asymmetry in the market. Some (many, actually, as far as I can tell) of these "legitimate companies" care very deeply about lower status employees thinking highly of their "clever hacks" regarding equity as part of a compensation package.

$X salary plus y% options at a startup should almost always be viewed as a having a value of $X and no more than that, but these "legitimate companies" want employees to view it as $X + $Million(s) in a future (all but guaranteed!) windfall. There are exceptions, but these are rare.

I wouldn't take issue with these companies trying to pass their crappy "equity compensation" packages off as "legitimate" if there was more openness and honesty about its value and the status of the employees with respect to the company.

The only time anybody should value equity at > $0 is when it's part of a regular grant or purchase of shares with true, market recognized value (e.g. RSU grants, ESP plans in a public company).
It's the iMac's thermal throttling...
I had wondered, why are the L1 caches not growing, while L2 and L3 capacities continue to grow: a significant limitation on L1 cache size is actually the fixed tradeoff between associativity, page size (i.e. the 4KB pages allocated by the OS to processes).

Because a 4 KB page has 64 cache lines, then you can have at most 64 cache sets. With an 8 way associative cache this works out to 32 KB. Using 128 sets would cause aliasing, but with 64 sets the cache index is built from the LSBs that just index into the page (i.e. not used in the TLB lookup). Thus, the only way to grow increase L1 capacity is to:
- totally abandon 4KB pages in favor of (e.g.) 2MB pages (not likely)
- increase cache associativity (likely imo)
- stop using virtual index+physical tag (not likely imo)
>I don't see any "'call out' culture" here. Note that the person in the audience did not say "you are sexist". The words were "Let her speak please". Specific, and to the point.

I too could not get my wife to watch Star Trek Next Generation with me.
I'm suprised no one has brought up that men talking over women is a well-studied phenomenon in childhood and adolescence. Girls tend to contribute less to discussions or conversations in mixed gender settings than they do in single-gender settings. My parents even noticed it when my brother and I moved out of the house, and suddenly my little sister was a lot more talkative at the dinner table. The exact mechanism or reason for this is not well understood.

I'm not sure if this phenomenon has been studied in adulthood, but I wouldn't be surprised if some remnant of it remains. Could this simply be an example of that phenomenon in action? Which isn't to say this isn't sexism, I wouldn't consider those two things mutually exclusive.

EDIT: to be clear, I'm not absolving the moderator of blame, or placing any fault on the woman. I'm simply linking this behavior to a broader social phenomenon that is fairly well studied. I personally think what he did was sexist, whether or not that was his intent.
Those statements aren't conclusive. Trump believes the Russia investigation is a distraction, maybe it is, but you implication is there is a deliberate attempt to hobble the investigation by firing Comey; That's a different charge.

I'm not too impressed by the selective leaks either.

> Directly contradicting his first explanation that the AG and Dep AG recommended it first.

The hypothetical "I would have fired Comey anyway" is not a contradiction.

Also, the relationship between the russian investigation, and Comeys firing is unclear - Trump has previously criticised Comey's handling of the case as well - there is no reason an ongoing bu as yet inconclusive investigation should be leaking insinuations in the background; There's a difference between an investigation, and an investigation used as a political weapon.

Exactly. People have different levels of introversion and extroversion. Moderators sometimes over talk introverts when they feel they have to keep things moving. It may not have anything to do with sexism but because the the sexes of the participants it's turned into a conversation that may have no base in the reality of the situation.

It is arrogance to assume that we know the mind of another well enough to call this sexism.
Except, all things usually aren't equal. Most people explain dilution like this: you're getting a smaller piece of a bigger pie.

Rambling about options is a bunch of distracting noise.
Uber is the only app I use that doesn't have an "Only While Using" option. Also, the app is pretty much unusable without this option. Lyft, Google Maps, etc all have the "Only While Using" option enabled. This was a change they intentionally introduced because the option was there before. When the version where always-on location was forced was introduced, almost all the reviews on the App Store were complaining about this. They really have terrible business practices.
I was excited to dig into Smalltalk some time ago, and downloaded Pharo 5. The reason I quit after a couple of minutes is that there was no support for standard Unix keybindings (i.e., C-a beginning-of-line), and no way to configure Pharo to understand them. [1]

Thanks for the clarification. That's exactly the point I wanted to make.

But also note that the moderator called the person from the audience "heckling" just because she made him aware of his inappropriate behaviour. If not sexism, this is at least a clear sign of ignorance.

Assuming positive intent is generally a good way to live, and it makes life significantly less stressful.
I'm somewhat of a coffee snob, and have had quite a few _very_ expensive cups of cold brew from both the best locally known shops as well as some of the more "famous" shops in California.

At best, I can't tell the difference between cold brew bought from a shop using "high end" beans and what I make at home with a bag of 12 O'clock Coffee from the grocery store. The end of the article makes it seem like the beans are important in cold brew, but from my experience, that's just not the case - given you aren't using preground coffee, rubusto, or some other truly "bad" coffee. It's the opposite of espresso, where the bean, it's freshness, the grind, and the time all need to be within a fairly tight range to produce something worth drinking.
Yes, it may, depending on the use case - so we will have to do a better job convincing users that there is value in allowing the use of location "at all times"...
If you wish to use an e-ink screen to avoid eyes strain, I've recently learned that a video projector does have the avantages of a classic monitor (colors, good refresh rate) without having to watch directly at the source of light, thus avoiding eyes fatigue.

Yeah, but the entire Facebook post was a tirade about sexism.
TLDR Even if its not a purely sexist situation if women make up a significant percentage of the victims of this behavior I think it is OK to consider it in the context of women. Rape isn't entirely male on female, both male on male and female on male and female on female also occur but male on female rape is the most prevalent and therefore gets an appropriate proportional amount of attention. It doesn't mean thats the only way it occurs but why derail a conversation about a serious issue facing women by reminding them that they aren't 100% of the problem, just 99%.

That being said, I'm not sure why you are getting downvoted but I've also found myself doing this accidentally and I've learned to moderate myself.

I don't think it is necessarily related to sexism directly, but I am used to talking to people (generally other men) who similarly assertive (not to say any of us are majorly assertive, just we're all at a similar level) and we understand each others speaking style and butt in (somewhat) at the appropriate spot to make a point.

When talking to someone who doesn't converse quite the same way (regardless of gender) it can be a problem. I've talked to people who won't just butt in when you are hogging the conversation and if you want to not have a 1 way conversation (ie, you are not an ass) you have to allow more space for the other person - its a basic courtesy and part of learning to have good conversations. My girlfriend has been helpful in self-identifying this situation because if I'm overly excited (coffee often being involved) she'll straight up tell me rather than putting up with it and I'll realize I was kind of rolling over her unintentionally.

I have no idea if this guy is sexist or not, it may be a subtle deep rooted kind or it may be he's a terrible conversationalist/host but despite the fact that this situation probably occurs more frequently from men to women but its definitely not limited to that.
