I purchased this book on sale at the Kindle store to get a detailed sense of what his methodology was, and it seems he just uses Google Trends to compare search volumes across locations combined with Google AdWords to give the data a numerical scale and break down the data demographically. It seems statistically dubious at best, especially the part where he makes assumptions based on search autocomplete results (which vary based on location, IP address, browser, OS, and other factors).

You can read more about his methodology in his papers here [1]. He wrote his PhD thesis on "Essays Using Google Data". I can't think of a better way to do these estimates with the limited data provided, but I'm just not convinced it's a strong enough proxy for the conclusions he's making.

People here are trying to pick fights with their responses. In the interest of accuracy: sometimes the do. The idea that women are a monolith of desires and responses is itself a sexist and dehumanizing idea. Some women leverage sexist culture to their own advantage, and it is important to recognize and challenge it.

Some examples: Model View Culture had a technical cofounder. You probably haven't heard of her. The founder you heard of felt okay abusing and terrorizing her, then totally erasing her from MVC's history. Another example that's more public is that Yahoo! executive, she sexually harassed (and... uh.. probably sexually assaulted) women around her.

So yeah, maybe some do. It should be opposed. If you're a man and see this, it can be challenging because men acting in bad faith have made the narrative of a man opposing a woman on feminist tenants petty difficult to sell.

> you're going to have to admit that the existence of IP rights implies that that other IP rightsholders are permitted to build some mechanism that works to enforce their rights.

Yes. And not one bit more. Show me a DRM system that would never overstep the legal boundaries of their legally enforcable rights, and your argument maybe makes some sense.
So your being that we'll have at most 95% self driving cars in ten years? That seems uncontroversial... Unless there's a law banning human driven cars by then, I would expect to see that level of ownership just from the people who like the act of driving cars.
As someone in this space, I think you're approach this wrong. You find early users by hand, reaching out to people you know have this problem and asking them to use the product (you would typically do this before even making it work properly as a SaaS product).

>If you want to go down that path, you're going to be "picking winners and losers" - something I hear we are supposed to dislike. Which business models "deserve" protections?

I'd say that should not be up to the availability of the relevant technology to decide, but up to society.

Just because we can obliterate or replace something doesn't automatically mean we should, or that it would be better for us if we did.

So I'm perfectly OK with society picking winners and losers, and not OK with a jungle race where "invisible hands" and market forces (including the one's people forget, like lobbies, monopolies and under the table deals) decide.

Lending with no interest AND collateral creates a very perverse set of incentives for the lender.
> Stores would extend credit to customers because they want to make sales.

Not GP but: much less credit would be extended because many stores wouldn't be able to do much with bookings. One reason credit cards are so ubiquitous is because they allow even tiny stores to take advantage of extending credit without having to worry about all the stuff that comes with it (not getting paid soon, fraud etc.). So yeah, sure, some people would still lend to close friends and family, but in general the credit market would get orders of magnitude smaller, and I don't think that's good for anyone.

> But regardless, how was that supposed to dispute any part of the post you responded to?

Again, not GP, but he is replying to your comment implying that access to money at interest would make things worse for the lower class in this model and that making that change would make it more realistic. It may make it worse for the lower class in this model because you can't inflate the number of dollars, but in real life there's a lot of good reasons to think credit markets are extremely helpful for everyone, including the lower class.
I think it was a joke and not a failure to read the article. Still not contributing to discussion though.
I'd add slightly to this. Managers are one path in the leadership ladder. Management is organizational leadership the other is technical leadership. Technical leadership is the principal engineer, architect, or technical fellow at most companies. In most companies the lower parts of the ladder is shared as in technical or IC roles.

Surprisingly there is a large amount of leadership that is shared between both ladders. Group communication, group mentorship and coaching, group leadership is more or less the same. Teams are particularly weak if they don't have both technical and organizational leadership.

The technical leaders typically are focused on mentoring and growing engineers with architecture and technical guidance. Organizational leaders are focused on mentoring and growing engineers on their career path and a lot of the softer skills.

I agree 100% on the if a team needs to be managed, it needs to be changed. Teams will always need leaders to provide focus. And ideally they need both organizational and technical leadership. Rarely does that come in one package.

> "Well, the Pentium M was just a refreshed PIII"

I respectfully disagree. These are direct quotes from the Wikipedia article mentioned above. The Pentium M (Banias) was an innovation of increasing the (maximum) speed vs. power ratio. Intel chose not to extend to x64 because they wanted to market an entirely different 64-bit architecture, the Itanium processors.

I am very pleased that AMD came out with it and forced Intel to do the same, but the Pentium M was (for microprocessors) a true innovation.

"The Pentium M coupled the execution core of the Pentium III with a Pentium 4 compatible bus interface, an improved instruction decoding/issuing front end, improved branch prediction, SSE2 support, and a much larger cache. The usually power-hungry secondary cache uses an access method which only switches on the portion being accessed..."

"Other power saving methods include dynamically variable clock frequency and core voltage, allowing the Pentium M to throttle clock speed when the system is idle in order to conserve energy, using the SpeedStep 3 technology (which has more sleep stages than previous versions of SpeedStep)..."

"...Pentium M varies from 5 watts when idle to 27 watts at full load..."
Still, I'd advice using it because 'entity' is the top holonym in WordNet. I'd also argue if everything in a system is called an entity all meaning is lost and you should pick something from the lower levels of WordNet like 'thing' or 'stuff'. Never said WordNet helps to sell your product, that's an entirely different task.
> Every time you need to add a code comment you have failed to write clean code that it easy to understand.

I find this to be a rather curious statement. I don't believe "clean code" and "easy to understand" are necessarily related as strictly as you seem to.

Sometimes solutions to problems are messy and difficult to reason through with just the text of the solution ("code"). Code comments that elucidate meaning when the solution is thorny make code clean. The absence of comments might make code pure (in some sense), but not clean.
Notice how there was basically no traffic on it.

Not sure how sustainable it is over 50 years. The US did this 50 years ago. We made miles and miles and miles of highways. The the burbs did this 20 years ago. We build miles and miles of road to each and every house, even if the road gets 20 cars a day.

We are starting to pay the price now, as the maintenance bills come due. The federal gov't paid for the building, but the local is responsible for most of the repair. We can't afford to maintain them.

I do not know the lifespan of this bridge. 50, 75 years? At some point some repairs will be due, and it might cost a lot...
I don't see why it's counterintuitive. If we know that "random" distribution will place values on a curve, then why would it not follow that the money would distribute this way and lead to inequality.

But I like the article! Excited to share to students.
I'm a Mathematician too (+ 1/2 Physicist).

In spite all the states have a probability 1 to be reached infinitely many times, the frequency of each kind of state in the chain is not equal. Some states will have a much higher frequency than the others.

In this case, the states where everyone has a number of coins that is between average-2 and average+2 will be extremely infrequent. They will be reached, but you probably have to wait a lot of time to see them.

But there will be some family of cases that appear very frequently after enough time. I'm not sure if the most common case is

1) Some of the persons has 99% of the money and the rest have a tiny amount of money

2) A few persons have almost all the money.

3) There is some kind of heavy tail distribution were everyone is expected to have some money. If you order them by money you will see something like a wiggly line.

I vote for 1), but I'm not sure at all.

This is similar to the typical thermodynamics problems. Imagine that you have 100 boxes in a line, were you can distribute 100000 "atoms" (or coins). In each step the coins can go to neighbor box at random. This is not the same problem, so it has a different solution.

But it's also ergodic and you can see all kind of weird distribution of the coins/atoms if toy wait enough time.

If you wait enough time you can see for example that all the coins/atom went to the leftmost box and all the other are empty. But this is not common at all.

Most of the time all the boxes will have a number of coins/atoms that is close to the average. (Not exactly the average obviously.)

But this is a different problem with the same state space (100 boxes/persons, 10000 atoms/coins). The rules in the Markov chain are different, so the expected frequency of the states is different.

In the thermodynamic problem, the most frequent states are when the atoms are almost evenly distributed. In the problem of the article, I suspect that the most frequent state is when someone has almost all the money.

I don't think Iraq or Afghanistan got those $14 trillion. Iraqi infrastructure is worse than it was under Saddam, and society is much poorer... and in civil war.

Ignorance on this comment is on another level. Please find some time and visit Africa. Stop learning about Africa from charity organisations who want to swindle you of your hard-earned cash. Obviously they will portray a bleak picture so that you can donate. We don't live in bushes. We have cities and some of us have a better quality of life than most people in the Western countries.
That's kind of the point I was trying to make though.

Isn't planning an escape a display of those traits?

Planning an elaborate escape, securing cash, biding your time, roping others in - isn't that a display of controlling your impulses, clear enough thinking to plan something out long term?

Seems like it's a display of more than just intelligence.

It's almost like these people just lack focus and if they had something productive to devote their time to they may have avoided this life.

2) I do include my phone number in both resume and cover letter. I have double checked it as well.

3) Yes, I need to work on this. I am quite inconsistent, some weeks I send only 5 where as others I send over 20.

4) I will definitely work on this

6) I have recently working on my LinkedIn profile to make it more professional.

Thank you for your advices.
I don't think bro-culture is something anyone aspires to. I had a great experience working for a company that often is criticized as a "boys club", but I consider what I experienced there to be Man-Culture, not bro-culture, and I think the baby is thrown out with the bathwater in this kind of debate. My suspicion is that any company that ends up with a "bro-culture" is simply trying and failing to implement a "man-culture."

At the other extreme I've worked in "inclusive" environments, and I'm just so fucking sick of it. You spend too much damn time worrying about other peoples' feelings to get any meaningful work done.

Interestingly the man-culture place had a lot less tolerance for harassment (except harassment by women, for some reason that was tolerated.) I think it stemmed from more paternalism, which came hand-in-hand with the Man-Culture.

EDIT: Wow this comment section is getting lit up today. My respect for this community continues to grow.
Nobody is accusing bro culture of literally firebombing women in the startup world.
How is then rational for bars to have a "customer tab", with 0 interest typically?

How about clients paying suppliers many months after stuff was delivered?

It is very rational to lend money with zero risk if that gets you more business.
The funny thing is, options 1 I got 0 APR loan. Option 2 was 5% APR loan. Options 3 and 4 were cash.

So cash in my pocket, option 1 was the "best". I had no initial outlay, the car dealer loaned me the money for free.

So yes that is even 1 more reason why option 1 worked out best for MY case. But who knows when I next get a car what will be true.

> So I'm perfectly OK with society picking winners and losers, and not OK with a jungle race where "invisible hands" and market forces (including the one's people forget, like lobbies, monopolies and under the table deals) decide.

Uh, I specifically called out lobbies and monopolies.

And in theory I agree with you. In practice, "society" doesn't serve that role. The "invisible hands" are exactly the actors doing the picking.

Don't get me wrong - I love me some theory, it is so much cleaner than the real world. But we don't get to live there.
Bro culture isn't the same thing as male culture.

I personally know a lot of men who want nothing to do with bro culture, support feminism, and are generally good people. In fact, men who partake in bro culture have a number of slurs that they use to target men who want nothing to do with bro culture: these slurs include "nu-males" and "cucks" (and the latter has racist overtones, too).

So, yes, I want the men who get slurred as "nu-males" to completely push bro culture out of the tech industry and replace them.

> The US government never supported Hitler.

Breckinridge Long is the very first name to prove that wrong.
He was the US Secretary of State at the time Hitler was in power and gave Henry Ford permission to buy Nazi tanks while purposely preventing Jewish refugees from entering the US.
He and Roosevelt also gave permission to the US companies I mentioned above to continue trading with Nazi Germany during war times.

For them, it wasn't so much about liberty and human rights as it was about business. That's still the case today. The US #1 trade partner is China, who happens to have a pathetic human rights record and is also still occupying Tibet. But opposing them in any way would be bad for business, so it gets shoved under the rug.

Out of sight, out of mind.
Well there is a culture of people into fitness, etc that identify as 'bros' which has nothing to do with behavior towards women. 'bro culture' has now been hijacked to mean 'sexual harassment culture'.

The Pentium M was released (not to mention designed) well before the giant ship that is Intel slowly changed course from P4.

And you shouldn't be comparing IPC of P4 or PM to A64. A64 was more a shot across the bow at Itanium at the time. You can rightly accuse Itanium of a lot of things, but lack of innovation isn't one of them.

Actually, it is a problem of the concept. It is asking for computers to be robbed of their defining characteristic, and to be put under dictatorial control.

Unless the demo is hello world level, relevant demos are almost always a net positive. They show passion and initiative. Given two candidates being the same, the one with the demo wins. Given ten candidates, the one with a demo is going to stand out even if the demo itself isn't impressive.

I know nothing about trading, but my expertise is databases and search. If someone built a toy database or search engine, I would be impressed even if it didn't come close to Postgres, Elasticsearch, etc. Especially since they would likely be able to answer questions that others would miss, including experienced people, because they built it from scratch. I find it hard to believe that algorithm trading interviews are fundamentally different to every other CS discipline in regards to demos.

In addition, the word "risk" implies danger. There is no danger in failing an interview. Absolutely none. No one dies. No one loses a leg. No one becomes homeless.
