> what I've learned is how little regard for your site your scrapers often have, scraping as aggressively as possible.

Often? Based on what data?

I find it much more likely you only often notice aggressive scrapers. That however tells you nothing about the behavior of the average web scraper or web scrapers in general.

That's kind of the heart of what's wrong with it. People generally agree, for example, that it was a good thing when we banned the practice of selling ones' self into indentured servitude. It is almost certainly true that indentured servitude was "worth the cost/risk" for some of the people who signed up, but we make it illegal anyway because it sets up a situation where people are likely to be exploited. Same goes for, for example, selling kidneys.
If the ban would only affect law abiding citizens, then why aren't the criminals described here using already banned knives or guns?

it is not like here in Europe people drop down dead like flies because the Nox allowed is more than 5 times that allowed in the US and the PM 4 times (besides any cheating).

The Volkswagen (and Audi, etc.) guys lied, broke the Law, and those found responsible should be adequately punished, but it is not like they are responsible for the death of tens or hundreds of thousands of people and of accelerating the extinction of the humanity.

The estimations (to be taken with more than a pinch of salt) by some MIT researchers is of 60 (sixty) premature deaths in the US:

http://news.mit.edu/2015/volkswagen-emissions-cheat-cause-60...

and a later (frankly IMHO hard to believe) one about Europe:

http://news.mit.edu/2017/volkswagen-emissions-premature-deat...

calculating the amount of premature deads in 1200, which is of course a very high number in itself but - even if actually proved/provable - nothing compared to (say) the number of deaths by fire or road accidents that could be prevented.
So much emphasis on how senior he is

I have trouble getting past the blatant lie in the first paragraph. And then the case he presents to support his first objection is to... not present a case at all.

By the time he gets to the digression where he advances a new and peculiar hypothesis about what engineering is all about (and where he seems to redefine empathy to mean something different from what the google memo meant), the negative impression was rather solidified.

Edit: Here is the lie:

... the manifesto a Googler ... published internally about .. how women and men are intrinsically different and we should stop trying to make it possible for women to be engineers, it’s just not worth it.

(1) to imply that it is not possible for women to become engineers is an absurd claim on the face of it.

(2) Even with a less preposterous reading of what Zunger meant by "make it possible for..." the Googler did not assert anything like that in the manifesto.

It appears to me that, like many others, there is an issue with the quality of your interactions, and you are unable to control when/where/how they happen.

I sometimes hear the phrase "People are social animals" to express the sentiment that living in densely-populated environments has a good/neutral influence on the human psyche.

The disclaimer should be that socialising with people we know well and trust is what's "natural" and yields benefits; being constantly surrounded by strangers has to be stressful for us.

Wether consciously or intuitively (See the excellent book "The Gift of Fear" for more), we are constantly scanning our surroundings for potential threats.

That, and a lack of accountability for how one treats their "neighbours", presents problems that can place a tremendous load on your mental health.

The more you give, the more you get; might not be awesome profits, might be even better. The secret with giving is to not expect anything in return, the very definition of Karma Yoga; real Yogis practice that all the time.

There's nothing wrong with you, we're being carefully programmed to reason just like this; to mistrust and compete with everyone but our fabulous authorities. Cut down on the mainstream media and social networking if you want the power over your mind back.

One way of getting symmetricity in C++ using the first approach is to do something like this:

if (a->intersect(b)) return;
if (b->intersect(a)) return;
general_intersect(a, b);

(making the base version return false, and adding return true to any overrides)

This way you would only need to add the Ellipse/HyperFrob specialization to the HyperFrob class.
If someone came to me with this business idea I'd chuckle and say haha, good one. Of course assuming that it is some joke. It boggles my mind that apparently 3 (presumably reasonable?) people have decided to seriously pursue this idea. It's so bad on so many different levels it may actually be the worst business idea I have ever heard.
I think out of all the comments in this thread, this, so far, is the one that speaks differently.

Diversity in Tech is indeed about changing the culture. That should be the central reply to this manifesto. Both the manifesto and the negative responses to it are missing this central point - they are focusing it as being about employment hiring about aptitude and worthiness of the job. It's why a call for meritocracy is not an adequate response to a call for diversity. Perhaps this element of culture needs to be explained more by people talking about it, on both sides.

When you look at it from that angle it's more understandable that the common response is that "you're part of the problem" when someone attempts to discuss these issues because it's erroneously seen as being part of the culture that they are seeking to remove. It's been seen as an attempt to negate the errors in the culture.

To reply to a response about being sexist when you wish to discuss diversity would be to focus on the ability that it is possible to talk about gender etc whilst also being a good respectful employee. That it's possible not be a "douche" and work with women and also be an out of the closet Republican or a devout Christian at the same time. That it's acknowledged that many women have a hard time in tech and that the culture can be changed for the better of everyone, and that discussion how it can be changed is a discussion open to everyone.

I've played development versions of the game. Hopefully I'm not spoiling too much, but there are certainly puzzles. They are super mind-bending and _different_. Definitely gave me the "now you're thinking in portals" feeling.

The other thing the puzzles reminded me of were the mechanics of Braid, where solving the puzzles requires a lot of un-learning about the way video games are supposed to work.
This isn't the difficult or unpleasant bit of sheep farming, delivering a good lamb is actually wonderful. Sheep in pain, dead lambs, malformed lambs, drowned lambs - these are harder. Carrying injured sheep soaked to the skin in a force 9, that's bloody horrible. Doing it once in a while is invigorating but the grind, year after year all through the winter.
Still, i think that my filesystem shouldn't accumulate that much complexity. Maybe a layered approach similar to Redhats Stratis is a better way.
I'm not big fan of the smell either, especially in public spaces, but I'm much more affected personally by the perfumes people wear, both men and women. Some of those will give me splitting headaches that last for hours, even days, after just a few minutes of exposure.

It took me years to figure out that was causing me to feel so awful. I spent my younger years getting sick in school, in church, in shopping malls and when visiting relatives.

I've gotten good at avoiding it now, but I don't whine and complain about it to everyone who uses that stuff. I just remove myself from their presence.

I've also noticed that many of those who complain the loudest about the smell of herb or tobacco are those that reek the most of those nasty toxic perfumes so if you've drenched yourself in that crap before you walk by me and decide to complain about herb smoke be prepared to have me unload on your toxic smelly self because I will not hesitate.

> A report by the Open Science Collaboration in August 2015 that was coordinated by Brian Nosek estimated the reproducibility of 100 studies in psychological science from three high-ranking psychology journals.[35] Overall, 36% of the replications yielded significant findings (p value below .05) compared to 97% of the original studies that had significant effects. The mean effect size in the replications was approximately half the magnitude of the effects reported in the original studies.

> The same paper examined the reproducibility rates and effect sizes by journal (Journal of Personality and Social Psychology [JPSP], Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition [JEP:LMC], Psychological Science [PSCI]) and discipline (social psychology, cognitive psychology). Study replication rates were 23% for JPSP, 38% for JEP:LMC, and 38% for PSCI. Studies in the field of cognitive psychology had a higher replication rate (50%) than studies in the field of social psychology (25%).

1950s New York City’s ‘Mad Bomber’
Suppose an organism is born and lives for 100 years. The organism is 10 metres across. However the rate of propagation of chemicals, blood, nerve signals, etc across its body is only 1mm per year. So over the 100 years if someone touched one of its extremities, the signal for that event would only have propagated across 10% of the diameter of the organism in its lifetime.

Does it really make sense to talk about it as being a single organism? How could it do anything in a coordinated way?

Or how about an organism that grows at say 10m in diameter per year, but signals across its body only propagate at 1cm per year? Again, how can it be considered to be functioning as a discrete organism? Surely if such a being evolved, its parts would perforce do so independently of each other? There could be no cross-organism coordination. It would have to disintegrate or devolve into local functional or operational units if it were to do anything effective at all.

EQ is definitely something that can help one in life, particularly leadership. He is certainly correct that EQ is not scientifically valid. Goleman took the valid work of others and "interpreted" it to create/support EI. It probably should be called a theory, a process, a framework, whatever.
After learning about EQ, and practicing it, my leadership abilities took off. I've taught it to dozens of engineers who say they are now much more influential, better team players, and better communicators. Some have said it's changed their careers.
EQ is most certainly a thing, just not a trait. It's sort of like saying being a good listener (active listening, listening with intent) is not a thing because you can't measure it.

No, Yonatan Zunger is the one who should be embarassed. He lies in his very first paragraph, setting up a straw man which is consistently relied upon throughout the piece.

The original manifesto is thoughtful, articulate, thorough, and sincere. It provides a basis for dialog, discussion, and disagreement. Zunger's article is mostly a pile of fallacious rhetoric that by chance raises a few interesting ideas that could be twisted into a legitimate counter-argument to a couple of the manifesto's points if you tried really hard.

This actual first page of the series is even more pointed for US Citizens [0]:

"In January 2010, numerous homeowners in San Antonio, Texas, stood baffled in front of their closed garage doors. They wanted to drive to work or head off to do their grocery shopping, but their garage door openers had gone dead, leaving them stranded. No matter how many times they pressed the buttons, the doors didn't budge. The problem primarily affected residents in the western part of the city, around Military Drive and the interstate highway known as Loop 410.

In the United States, a country of cars and commuters, the mysterious garage door problem quickly became an issue for local politicians. Ultimately, the municipal government solved the riddle. Fault for the error lay with the United States' foreign intelligence service, the National Security Agency, which has offices in San Antonio. Officials at the agency were forced to admit that one of the NSA's radio antennas was broadcasting at the same frequency as the garage door openers. Embarrassed officials at the intelligence agency promised to resolve the issue as quickly as possible, and soon the doors began opening again."

"Back in the day" these were popular because you might have a modem, but not IP internet access. So places that provided a dial up Unix shell had value. That is, a plain terminal dial up. Dial up to their shell, ftp a copy of some software, then download via zmodem or Kermit.

http://nyx.net was similar.

Except for the fact that it implies that men are in higher, more well paid positions because of inherent biological traits.

His point is quite clearly based on statistical reasoning, not absolutes. He makes this point blatantly clear when he makes the point about salary negotiations.

He says that people with high agreeableness have more trouble negotiating than people with low agreeableness. Because high agreeableness is statistically more common among women, this is treated as a gender issue when it is quite clearly a personality issue. If you're going to consider this a problem, why not address agreeableness directly? Why frame it as a gender issue that ignores both agreeable men and disagreeable women?
