Compilers in general have become much better about this. today a potential compiler warning is carefully examined before it gets added. Historically (1995) compilers added warnings when someone wanted to with no consideration on if it was a good idea. As a result upgrading compilers often resulted in a ton of new warnings to look at most of which were not interesting.

Today clang will typically build all of google's software with the new warning on and look at the results. Then they look at each one and decide if it is a real bug or false positive. For the real bugs they look at how serious each bug is (if it is a previously unknown security hole that worse than it could fail in the real world only in unusual situations). For false positives they consider silencing the error changes the code (in some cases the code is very ugly and cleaning the code up fixes the warning, while in others the code was good until the ugly stuff to silence the warning was added). Then the consider the rates of all of the above to decide if the false positives are worth the potential gains. I believe other compilers do similar things, though I don't have insight into their processes (Chandler Carruth gives great talks at C++ conferences on clang which is where I get my information).

Compiler writers are in competition in this area. As a result most things that should be warned about are already warned about, while things that are not worth warning about are not warned about. Thus updates to the compiler are quick because you keep having "how did we ever get by with this mistake" moments, which in turn keeps you motivated to fix the next warning.
I haven't downvoted you but... "informed" is a tricky beast. Many people, but especially white men, especially engineers, think that they're qualified to comment on fields where they are a novice.

(see Dunning-Kruger and others)

In the field of discrimination, women and minorities are statistically more experienced; so on the whole you'd expect them to hold more informed opinions than white men.

At the best of times telling anyone to "piss off" would be poorly advised, but especially so when the people so dismissed are likely better informed.

Don't forget the same meeting populated 2-3 times because somebody set up a recurring meeting invite and then made a new one and the old one never really deleted properly so you've now got the same meeting twice from 2:30-3:30 every Thursday.
On that level then you're calling everything a high level individual does publicly propaganda which dilutes the term into meaninglessness. Willful public manipulation is interesting, but if you cast the net so wide as to say everything public is manipulative, you can't be justified in being upset at all.
I wonder if a bunch of Tesla shorters write these articles at SeekingAlpha. If the headline alone didn't give it away for you, this might:

> Underutilization of manufacturing facilities and ongoing opex and capex continue to push the company toward bankruptcy.

Really, bankruptcy? Who actually believes Tesla is going bankrupt with the shipping of 400,000 Model 3's approaching, battery business booming, and with the solar roof product ready to go? If there financials are not great for the next year or so, that still wouldn't mean bankruptcy for Tesla...
Right. And I've never said that it didn't.
> That's definitely not always true and probably not in the majority case either.

I don't know what you're talking about; it's an inherently political position rooted in coherent ideology.
That seems a short-sighted way to look at it.

Yes, of course in an ideal world these things would be non-issues, but they aren't. People are discriminated against, and there are barriers from culture that won't change without intentional scruity.

Of course, everyone should be able to just do their job and no more. If you aren't interested in being a role model or trying to push for that equality, that's absolutely fine, no one is obligated to do so. Some people do, however, and they will be trying to find others that do, I don't think that's unreasonable.

If, for example, women are routinely excluded from male-dominated clubs, for example, maybe they never get an interest in programming. While in an ideal world everyone can attend those clubs and it doesn't matter, if that's not the reality because of societal expectation, until that expectation has changed, maybe girl's clubs allow girls to get involved without fear of the societal stigma of doing "boys things" (if they don't happen to be one of the IDGAF people who do it anyway), resulting in more women in tech, which normalises it, eventually removing the need for girl's specific clubs.

This isn't exactly a new idea. It's the same idea behind things like women's-only chess - if the culture has excluded a group for a long time, it can be hard for talented individuals to get started because they get excluded inherently. If you can create a separate culture to get them interested, then merge the cultures over time, you can fix that.

To me, saying "we should just have everyone together" is like proclaiming racism was done the day slavery was abolished. Things don't magically get fixed culturally and socially - that takes an integration.
How would you know one way or the other?

You trust your OS and user agent. Would be better if there were strong cryptographically signed assurances that the open source build is the one you have. And lots of companies should be looking through the source and patches. And even then someone might have hidden a back door by now.

And your CPU and encryption algorithms might contain back doors, too.

I would say all these things are fixable over time. Cory Doctorow talks about the war on general computing by spyware and locked-down devices.

Ultimately the only way to have trust is the same way Ripple has trust - by using products from various ostensibly unrelated parties - indeed enemies - to check adherence an agree-upon standard, like code signing from source without compiler backdoors. So you can eg inspect code.

Well it is my understanding that it was a whites-only back in the day. Now it is a not-whites only which really doesn't seem as different to me as you comment indicates it really is. It is just a different group of people telling others what they can and can't do.

Some roads are congested even with private cars banned (e.g. Oxford Street).

Would that be such a bad thing? Obv. it would need to be a little more formalized than that.

I want to add that historically Chinese people (not the modern sense of china) went through brutal revolutions either started by powerful individuals or as grass root riots against the central dynasty. The lesson learned is clear, the people are suffering no matter what. So there is a strong sense to be stable for the people, even it means tolerates a less than perfect government.

Social media can become mass media, and it's not up to you to decide if and when that happens.

In the past, you could just vocalise your opinion, and it would not survive many hops in the real-world social network.

This is exactly the kind of behavior that the author is speaking out against.

> It’s hurtful when you say “we need to solve the problem of women in tech” and “Maria, you’re a woman in tech” in the same breath…

My take away from this post is that Maria is hired as a software developer and would like to get on with software development. Not be a champion of diversity just because she is a woman.

> Maybe I’m representative, maybe I’m not, but don’t ask me to represent!

Why did my comment get dislodged from being underneath another comment that I was replying to?

It's now showing as a stand-alone comment under the thread.

-------------------------------------------

I'm doing a similar thing. I stopped posting anything personal on Facebook about a year ago and I never post to Twitter. I'll never go back to posting personal thoughts on social media, not under any circumstances. It's a wholly pre-emptive move.

At least in the US, society has become so aggressively censorship-by-threat & political correctness oriented, with severe consequences to going against popular opinion, it's not worth the risk to my business interests to stand out with an opinion that could be unpopular at any point (get caught with an opinion that is in the minute considered hurtful, hateful, whatever).

I don't agree with unfettered illegal immigration for example; I overwhelmingly agree with legal immigration and think the US system needs reformed to facilitate easier immigration. The left now considers that to be racist, xenophobic, hate-thought, insert-control-vector-label-here.

I don't agree with feminism as a concept, I'm in favor of equality (which - in my opinion - nullifies the supposed point of feminism). Many on the left consider that to be attacking women, holding women down, being sexist, being anti-women, etc.

This is the only place I post opinions online now.

Its almost like a industry upon itself, being busy being insulted and helping to overcome those insults by selling seminars, stickers and absolution.

I almost feel sorry for anyone who is to deal with either side. Harassment is one thing, but if that industry is the only help you can turn too- that is worser. Cause this side has no interest in resolving the core Issue (it literaly lives from it) and doesn't have a interest in a good outcome for the harassed either.

Still, if i think back on the woman i tutored in the freshman C-class - and later in there careers - any creep in power molesting those: Its good that this industry exists, to apply pressure too keep standards. For every woman in tech, should be able to walk, live and write like maria.
That's what he was doing.
In short, while the standards are very high, almost always they are not as high as people believe so it's almost always worthwhile to have an experienced attorney evaluate your background.
Those would be symptoms.

If they changed to a service model they would have an incentive. If they leased a dishwasher 5€/month suddenly it wouldn't break for 15 years.

Exactly. Free speech goes both ways. The only people I see saying things like 'free speech is dead', are usually the ones who want to say ignorant things and get away with it.
Purchasing power for many non-subsistence goods has gone up.

Not so for rent, food etc. as far as I know.

Purchasing power for subsistence goods would't go up due to the malthusian trap.

The same way you have induced demand from wider roads to have more cars.
I'd argue you're still at liberty to do it - you just have to be willing to accept any social prices associated with it. Other people enjoy the same liberties that you do, they have every right to think and say whatever they will about you due to your speech.

Of course, this is really only a significant issue on a public forum, on which you can post pseudonymously and still gain any benefits of discussion without paying any significant toll. Some people view this as a negative and want to ban this kind of commenting - I love it, it means you can experiment with different views, make arguments you might not want to make in real life and see what sticks with you.

I agree that simply disregarding things because they're impossible is not great science, but in this case this isn't great science from the start, because we're simply measuring two of many, many variables. We're only looking at judgement outcomes, and time of day.

The thing is, this result is about the story... about the narrative the findings tell. The original findings told the story of "hungry judges are grumpy judges", but that was conflating correlation with causation. There are other variables which were NOT controlled for (i.e. not great science) that tell a DIFFERENT story.

This article is about the author pointing out that there are multiple ways to tell this story, and this particular way is about as impossible as it gets, statistically speaking.

Hydrogen fuel cells are essentially just a really complicated battery. The technology undoubtedly has uses, but powering automobiles seems a poor choice. 30 years ago, it probably seemed more reasonable to transition the gasoline shipping-and-pumping power delivery to hydrogen, but the primary benefit is just the zero-emission aspect (at the car itself at least). But today, chemical battery tech has progressed to the point that it's on the edge of full practicality, and hydrogen isn't really any closer to reality than in was in the 90s.

This seems unbelievable. That is 500 charge discharge cycles at 200 miles apiece. Since there are only 365 days in a year This means that your friend was driving more than 270 miles a day meaning he was at 55 mph that is 5 hours a day. This is on the order of a professional trucker once you count weekends.

This also discounts the difficultly of finding well space out chargers. It also discounts the schedule of your friend. This also makes me wonder what time you have left to socialize with your 'friend'.

If you are going to make bold claims some explanation of the detail would go a long way towards making them seem plausible.
That only works if you want to bully others for the resources. (That's how unions work). That, however, will re-enfonce negative stereotypes for the group and will not improve anything.

If you want to overcome the stereotype, work with other people. Get to know them. Learn the rules of the game and play by the same rules as everyone in society does.

If you want to identify as that subgroup based on (gender/race/etc) for social and communal support. No one will fault you on that. (That's culture) However, you will be judged on being hostile/exclusive if non-members of that group are harshly penalized for attempting to integrate with the culture.

The beginning of the article has several links giving reasons why the correlation could be explained by other effects. This article explains why the correlation can't be explained by the given reason.
I'm not sure that free speech is dead so much as people's ability to think critically is dead, or at the very least their ability to deal with the idea that sometimes people who are great in every other respect advocate a position they don't.
I completely agree. The article's author suggests that the study's result is too good (to be true), and casts that as the sole reason to reject the study. I think that such a surprising result definitely deserves scrutiny, but barring problems with the method or stats used, it's merely surprising, not "impossible".

Within the paper itself, the authors clearly considered this:

A key aspect for interpreting the association
between the ordinal position of a case and parole
decisions is whether an unobserved factor determines
case order in such a way that yields the pattern of
results we obtain.

They then interview judges and lawyers and examine the process to rule these out! Which is rare enough for a quantitative study like this (where they often publish the conclusions and just say "it could be X"). Unless the author can cite a more specific grievance, I'll trust the data.
Maybe. But MKUltra was mentioned by name, and the methods portrayed were quite gruesome.
> As a result, most of the work force is in low-productivity jobs

Do we have a good understanding of how this shift of employment from high-productivity to low-productivity industries plays out? Is it even still happening? A BLS study comparing data from 2000 and 2010 found no association between an industry's change in productivity and change in employment. [1]

I'm not sure what you mean by "algorithms distinguishable for documents and natural images" -- can you elaborate? OpenCV itself doesn't have builtin functionality to take documents and fit them to a pre-defined template, that tends to be part of a specific use-case/niche of computer vision for document processing. The general idea is to take a document a user has filled out and "fit" it to a blank template, where you know exactly where each field is. That way you can exact the information from the document.

There's an effort to try and build some standards for open web sharing at indieweb.org - cross-post comments, syndication to existing social networks. A few of those standards have now been given the W3C stamp (MicroPub, WebMention).

There's some services built on top of it like WithKnown, MicroBlog and people building on top of WordPress, building their own site and so on.

The founding principle of that community (build what fixes your problem, don't try and solve everyone's problems) keeps it quite well focussed.
