Yes, Tech requires intelligence. Google in particular in famous for checking analytical intelligence in their interview. I know that's not 100% correct but I call this "pure number crunching intelligence". People there know how to solve this and that, can approximate problems and solutions.

This gender thing might be formulated as an analytical problem but it suffers high complexity. It's better to be understood empirically. But how can these people understand it empirically if there are no women around? Are they reading enough about this complex topic to still make informed decisions? Probably not.

I have an illustrative example: in Germany in those regions that have the least foreigners, there are the most Neo Nazis and people are more likely to vote for right wing parties.

Disclaimer: I didn't read more than a few sentences of such a stupid essay because I have better to do with my time. But in any case, you cannot solve this problem by writing "a better essay". IMHO this problem has to do with complexity and it cannot be solved with facts.

> Just a few months ago this package was released by Louis Aslett at Oxford http://www.louisaslett.com/HomomorphicEncryption/. Louis helped me use his package to do Fan and Vercauteren homomorphic encryption on my dataset. Because the ciphertexts are polynomials it's not too easy for an average data scientist to use the data. That's why I came up with more chill ways of encrypting Numerai's data that the article mentions like order-preserving encryption. There's a security vs easy of use trade off, for sure. But homomorphic encryption is a real thing.

In the context of that sentence I take independent to mean "unrelated by connection to each other" rather than "unrelated by ideology." In that context I don't see a claim that they're non-partisan.

For that matter, nor can I think of any outlet in modern days which would both a) report that information were they to find it and b) not be immediately and loudly labeled partisan by a significant portion of the internet.

As they say, any bureaucracy will eventually be controlled by people trying to preserve the bureaucracy rather than those trying to achieve the actual goals of the bureaucracy.

Or:

> Pournelle's Iron Law of Bureaucracy states that in any bureaucratic organization there will be two kinds of people":

> First, there will be those who are devoted to the goals of the organization. Examples are dedicated classroom teachers in an educational bureaucracy, many of the engineers and launch technicians and scientists at NASA, even some agricultural scientists and advisors in the former Soviet Union collective farming administration.

> Secondly, there will be those dedicated to the organization itself. Examples are many of the administrators in the education system, many professors of education, many teachers union officials, much of the NASA headquarters staff, etc.

> The Iron Law states that in every case the second group will gain and keep control of the organization. It will write the rules, and control promotions within the organization.

> They have no financial risk if the students drop out.

I like this and would love to see more commentary on it. Taking one step back, the system is broken because we removed the primary safeguard: Bankruptcy. If we could declare bankruptcy to discharge loans, it puts the burdens on banks to only make loans they evaluate as having a reasonable rate of repayment on. We've removed that check. In turn, we have a completely predictable outcome. So, as far as I know the only alternative is to provide another, equally robust counter (like your suggestions, or just "free" tuition) to balance.
Our client acts as a downloader, installer, and launcher. So the game is installed on your local machine entirely. We don't remove the games when you unsubscribe, they just become locked. That way you can pick up where you left off easily.

Position Paper: Blockchain Technology
Strong RNG designs re-seed to deal with compromise or poor seeding. That way if an attacker has temporary read access they do not permanently compromise the system going forward. Or if on boot you are in a compromised or low entropy environment the system will improve over time. Perhaps the utility of this is arguable. If an attacker is able to see your private RNG state then it is most likely game over. But it is a cheap operation with little downside and again, designs like Yarrow put considerable time into thinking it through.

He didn't rail against diversity, he railed against what are effectively affirmative action policies. Several times he went to pains to point out he wasn't against diversity of people, just the initiatives at Google.

He railed against the idea that pay and hiring gaps must be caused by biases and, once you rule out bias, what you're left with must be some combination of cultural, biological, and personal factors. Better to discuss and address real issues and not perpetually pretend that everyone is a closet racist and sexist.

> Also, having spent a fair amount of time in academia, describing it as liberal utopia is simplistic to the point of being wrong. Right-wing media loves to describe it that way but it's not example hard to find examples of universities fighting against fair wages, unionization, etc. — just watch what happens if someone suggests grad students or adjuncts should have financial security — and there are no shortage of examples of men who might even make a pretense of being feminist while ignoring or even stymieing support for working mothers, fair hiring or promotional practices, etc.

Err, not quite. Yes, the University is still subject to capitalist forces. So they're against graduate student rights, uses a great deal of temp and "part timers" to skirt around full time employment benefits.

But the thing about this setting is that you don't possess the secrets, so you can't reveal the secrets by noticing how long things take.

An analogy to think about might be blind signatures. In blind signatures you sign a blinded token and then the other party can unblind it to get a valid signature from you over a message whose content you don't know. This is classical public-key cryptography. In that case there is a secret key, and a timing attack against someone who can observe the signature creation might reveal that key. The connection between the blinded and unblinded message is also meant to be secret, and a timing attack against someone performing the blinding or unblinding operations might also reveal that relationship.

However, there is no timing attack that the signer can perform against itself to reveal the relationship between the blinded and unblinded messages, and there is no timing attack that the other party can perform against itself to reveal the secret key.

I think this analogy holds up for most purposes (indeed, blind signatures can be viewed as an extremely specific, narrow kind of homomorphic encryption), but I'd be happy to hear corrections if someone can see a way that it doesn't.
Anyone can use a park. You can't use free parking unless you own a car. Cars are expensive, so free parking just subsidizes people with money.

As said before, every now and then I involuntary get sucked into this debate, most of the time the other person is drunk or feels safe enough "to speak up". (haha - of course when there are no women around)

When I'm at work, I'm always surprised how they manage to hire 0 women for pure engineering jobs. (This is not my first job by the way.) Even more why there is no real discussion about that, rather: "yeah we found no woman who fits". On the other hand there is an occasional complaint about the gender inequality. Sorry, but you cannot make progress by not talking about the topics or by talking about it but not speaking your mind.
Sure, just like if you did FFI in CL. I'm not really sure what your point here is.

It is quick, opensource, multiplaform, doesn't force you to have an account with online services, comes with the great Kdiff3 and integrates well with online tools and Windows Explorer.

take restaurant choice for example. yes there's a range of options, but some of the fields instead of saying "go to restaurant A" say something like: "let google pick a random number X between 1 and 50. google "restaurant near Penn Station" and go to the Xth result."

multiple times this procedure led me to dine at fine-dining establishments that i would never consider going into with the clothes i have on (the experience almost always ended up better than i imagined). a nice thing about randomizing is that you become psychologically dissociated from your actions. when things go bad you don't blame yourself and take that to reflect on yourself ("well, i was just following orders"). when things go well you just feel thankful.

Parts of the economy can be controlled centrally, if it makes more sense, or other parts can be decentralized by a variety of different means, including worker co-ops. Even the centralized parts could still operate under a market system if needed, leaving them no worse off information wise than a large corporation. Socialism != Stalinist planned economy. The key part really is the elimination of a capitalist class which does not work and hoards and accumulates wealth that's being created by others. Collective ownership of that capital and "the means of production" is more of a benefit to society.
Believing that diversity requires "lowing the bar" means believing "diverse" candidates are inferior.

Right, each controller on their own is not fully capable. That said, I think it's an impractical goal (really; how would you play a game like BotW with one hand? Impossible.) and I'm not sure the Gparent meant it that way.

I've worked through at least the first book of this version and it is a very nice intro to the material.

One large annoyance I have is the mistakes. I was trying to follow the proofs closely and there are some errors both in the diagrams and in the text. Many of these are called out in the intro so I found myself flipping between the corrections section and the pages to make sure I had a very clear idea of each proof. This can make some of the later proofs a bit cumbersome to follow since they all build on one another. So if a later proof is built on proofs that contain mistakes it is distracting and a lot of page flipping.
Exactly! I came here to essentially post the same thing. I can't remember ever, even once, anyone talking about how to get more women into construction, forestry, fishing, sanitation, etc. Curious, isn't it? Likewise, I never hear anyone asking how we can get more men to be pre-school or early education teachers, home health aides, social workers, etc. In fact, I genuinely don't think I've ever once in my entire life heard anyone say that there is a shortfall of males in any job/industry. Despite the fact that there are numerous jobs for which women hold 75% or more of the positions.

The argument simply doesn't add up given this information. It's clear they just want to get more women in high paying jobs only, not to even out the alleged imbalance across the board. If they were actually interested in that, we'd hear them talking about much more and it would be for both genders. Funny how they never talk about getting more women into logging, which only pays ~38k a year and has a fatality rate of 0.1%, isn't it?
