Well, the translators of the _Elements_ were Arabs, and they translated it into Arabic, so I don't see what the controversy is.

I've noticed a tendency (a rather "weird" tendency, in fact) for people to refer to "Islamic" science, math, and other stuff. Sometimes even when the work in question predates Islam. I don't remember ever hearing people talk about Newton's "Christian" physics. Or describe calculus as "Christian" mathematics. That would be weird, wouldn't it? Even though he was a Christian, living in a Christian society. As was Leibniz. So I think it's weird to hear about "Islamic" mathematics. Maybe someone can explain to me why this is normal.

> Most people want to have children.

How do you know? My friends who did have kids had intricate dynamics around that where 'want to have' was not really a big part of the equation. Pressure, religion, 'that is what you do', 'my spouse wants to', 'maybe now life gets better' etc are often part of the equation. For the 'want to have' you will need to look inside people's heads.
Social Live Music Startup (pre-launch/stealth) | Front-End Engineer (ReactJS) | Austin, Texas | Full-Time | ONSITE preferred, but will consider REMOTE | Salary + Equity (contract work also possible)

Our company is building a social platform that revolves around live music. We are a team of 3 co-founders looking for a full-time front-end engineer/web developer to help us get our platform to market.

I'm a little confused when he writes, "Yet a newer form of discrimination is starting to greatly alarm me, and that’s discrimination against anyone with a point of view that’s deemed offensive to the tech majority."

This has been the case for as long as I've been in the industry. Heck, it's probably older than the industry. Simply saying, "there’s still far too little diversity" has been enough to get you mocked, downvoted, shouted down, and generally dismissed for decades. There's nothing at all new about it.
I'm trying to understand what the act of being married, has to do with sharing your life with someone at any age. You can't be with someone, share you life together, and not be married?
Euclid was working in a context of classical geometric construction with compass and straightedge.

If you have a line and a point not on the line, you can classically construct a perpendicular through the point. Use a compass centered on the given point, open to an arbitrary radius greater than the distance between the given point and the line. Draw a circle, which will intersect the line at two points A and B. Now draw a second circle centered on A and passing through B, and a third circle centered on B and passing through A. The second and third circles intersect in two points, C and D, one on each side of the given line. Draw a new line through C and D. This line is perpendicular to the original line and forms four right angles with it.

A way to check whether a given angle is right is to pick an arbitrary point on one of the lines and draw a circle centered there and passing through an arbitrary point on the other line. The circle will then pass through a second point on the other line. You can construct the perpendicular bisector of the segment formed by the two points in which the circle intersects the second line, and see whether the bisector is identical to the first line. (Although I'm not sure that's the right classical solution because I don't recall whether "noticing whether two constructed lines are identical" or "noticing whether a constructed line intersects a given point" are allowed tasks in classical construction.)
When I was a kid, we learned the principle of mathematical induction in algebra class. That made recursion seem easy.

As for the limitations of recursion on any given system, that's easy to learn because... kids will be kids. Practically the first thing I tried with recursion, ended up with the system operator yelling at me, and learning what a core dump looked like.

Well, no, other way around more likely - the most practical way of building programs for these systems would probably be through VHDL/Verilog with a specialized toolchain.

(edit: although actually FPGAs could be useful simply because they can be very good at running FFTs (as are GPUs), not because of the gate-programmable nature of them)
Yes they are. Y Combinator and its employees, the Hacker News community at large, and the SV/SF tech companies them and their ilk occupy, are all toxic. Is that clear enough for you? Don't put words in people's mouths.
Ethical Questions for Marketers – Part 9
Well, the explicit intent of the proposal is to hardwire the localhost = 127.0.0.1 / ::1 mapping, so my guess is yes.
No, but my phone ad blocker (?) kills all the figures, and with it disabled, I get page hijacking ads about 10% of the time, figures 10% of the time, and ads where there should be figures 80% of the time. I can read about half the page before the ads stop loading.

Basically, this site is completely unusable for me.

Could someone opposed to the arguments the manifesto makes explain to me what quotes caused them to strongly dislike it?

Reading the reactions to the manifesto I'm left feeling like I'm taking crazy pills. I must have read a different manifesto.

AFAICT the main idea of the manifesto is that biological differences between men and women account for part of the representation gap. This seems to be perfectly logical and fair to me. Whether the explained part is significant or just a fraction of a percent should definitely be discussed. The available version of the manifesto not having its sources makes this a lot harder though.

> The text of the post is reproduced in full below, with some minor formatting modifications. Two charts and several hyperlinks are also omitted.

If your offense is with the manifesto misrepresenting the amount of the gap explained by biological differences I can relate to your point of view and this post is not directed at you (which quotes of the manifesto lead to this impression would still be interesting to hear).

If not, I would really like to understand where you are coming from.
The manifesto does not seem sexist (e.g. representing women in tech as inadequate) to me. Some quotes from the manifesto to support my claim:

> I value diversity and inclusion, am not denying that sexism exists, and don’t endorse using stereotypes.

> Differences in distributions of traits between men and women may in part explain why we don’t have 50% representation of women in tech and leadership. Discrimination to reach equal representation is unfair, divisive, and bad for business

> Many of these [biological] differences are small and there’s significant overlap between men and women, so you can’t say anything about an individual given these population level distributions.

> I hope it’s clear that I’m not saying that diversity is bad, that Google or society is 100% fair, that we shouldn’t try to correct for existing biases, or that minorities have the same experience of those in the majority.

> I’m also not saying that we should restrict people to certain gender roles; I’m advocating for quite the opposite: treat people as individuals, not as just another member of their group (tribalism).

Please help me understand.
Not necessarily. The requirement for applications concerned about security properties of localhost names is that the resolved address is bound to a loopback interface, in order to satisfy the test in section 5.1 of this draft.

However, I expect many application developers to mistakenly assume that only 127/8 and ::1 are valid loopback interface addresses.
Couldn't agree more. The polarization I've seen in the last two years is just insane to me. I've always been pretty firmly in the center, and I feel like it's a lot of work to stay there.

The Duck Curve
> anyone have tips on doing this?

It really depends a lot on the relationship. For my wife and I it's really been effortless, though I'm not sure how long the "honeymoon phase" is meant to last. We're only coming on our second anniversary.

The best advice I've ever heard is that your partner should be your best friend. They should be the easiest person to talk to. When something good happens and you want to share it or something bad happens and you need to talk about it, they should be the first one you think of. You shouldn't feel drained by spending time with them (despite normally being an introvert, I don't find myself needing "alone time" where my wife is concerned). You should be able to be happy for no other reason than that they're happy. You should be able to put their happiness before your own when it's important (though you shouldn't tolerate an abusive relationship). You should always put them before anyone else. You should never lie to them, or feel the need to.
My tip is to embrace the fact there's going to be an end of the honeymoon phase. You want things to change. Being in the honeymoon phase forever means your relationship isn't developing. Maybe your honeymoon phase will just be followed by a party phase or something, but my guess is it will go into another phase.

Good relationships won't necessarily always be easy or pleasant. They're sort of an increasing random walk, like the stock market or something.

I've been with the same person for 16 years now. It's honestly been extremely rewarding, but in a way I couldn't have anticipated when it started, or even a few years into it.

My sense is that success in relationships basically come down to two people being a good match (physically and psychologically), both being committed, both communicating, and randomness.
No one is talking about farmers. They're usually smart enough to locate their houses up the hill. The problem is towns, cities, and especially rural housing developments in floodplains.

But from a biological/evolutionary/whatever perspective, isn't not wanting children definitely "wrong"?
There's a implicit, insipid value judgement in your first thesis. That someone's social network is small does not make it "poor", nor does it mean that they're bad at socializing. That a stigma exists for some reason you can identify does not make it a good reason.

> There is currently no online service that can correctly predict if someone will enjoy your physical presence.

I mean, no shit? That's why you go on dates and try people out just like meeting them any other way.

> If online dating really worked you would only have to go on three dates before you met a perfect partner.

Perhaps I'm missing something but I'm not really sure why that should be true at all.
Why not just do work on it at night like they do on the tube?

The three best noise cancelling headphones right now are:

1. Sony MDR-1000x

2. Bose QC35(or Bose QC25)

3. Senheiser PXC-550

Apparently, the Sony MDR-1000X has now beaten the Bose on noise cancellation. It has a lot of cool features, such us letting you turn off the noise canceling by touching the right earphone (I believe) and touch controls. In addition, it beats the Bose with amazing sound quality. Caveat: Expensive, if bought new. There is a build/quality issue at the moment -- where the plastic in the earphone is developing cracks. So buyer beware.

The Bose QC35 is/was the standard noise cancellation. I personally think this may be the best recommendation since it has been proven to be a quality product, very comfortable to wear. I personally chose the QC25 over the wireless version (to save money) and also because the QC35 battery is non-replaceable, after certain years if it dies, you cannot replace it and you are out of luck. Whereas, the QC25 batteries are AAA that you can get anywhere. It is wired version, but I am happy with it. Caveat: I own the ATH M50X, and let's just say Bose sound quality is a couple of notches below. But, if you don't know any better, you probably won't notice.

The Senheiser PXC-550 has also been getting really great reviews and has pretty comparable noise cancellation as Bose (a notch below). Great sound quality. Lots of cool features like the Sony. Caveat: More expensive than Bose if bought new. I don't like that you have to position the headphones a certain way to turn it off. Could be problematic if you are thinking of just putting the headphone in your book bag without putting it in its case

I thought that area was actually pretty popular with outdoorsy people.
And that makes perfect sense. These are all hypotheses to be ruled out, at this point though. Indeed, your "schedule processes" one is essentially the other idea I threw at the beginning. My hunch is more likely that is the deal. I'd have to eliminate both through testing, not reasoning, though. Reason can not and will not ever eliminate why something behaves against expectations.

Researchers use Tensorflow for backend only + Keras for implementation. However, PyTorch and Caffe are much more popular among researchers.
I personally enjoy PyTorch a lot.
A lot of these plans seem to fundamentally misdiagnose the issue. Investment banking has way better gender diversity numbers than Google, but (having worked neither at Google nor in an investment bank) it seems highly unlikely that it's because "bro-culture" or agressions, micro or macro, are somehow less prevalent there.

Indeed, it's much more complex than an EV. Yet as of February 2017 Toyota alone had delivered ten million hybrid vehicles, with 80,000 mile drive train warranties - better than Tesla offer and on a scale magnitudes greater.

Agreed. I don't grasp how, in response to a text lamenting a lack of psychological safety and fear of being shamed into silence, a response which essentially states "what you said was stupid, you should never have talked about it and this will have negative consequences for your career" can be considered appropriate, let alone as having a positive impact in any meaningful way.
If all these things were true, shouldn't they be demonstrably obvious to everybody, such that their brightly shining obviousness would handily over power whatever -phobia or -ism du jour you think you are battling.

If they were so obviously true why aren't societies' and biologies' natural optimization mechanisms making them unmistakably and obviously true?

If it's really the case that women will do equal work for %X less money than men, why hasn't any organization capitalized on this by hiring only women and drastically reduced their costs?

But if word got out on this strategy thanks to you and your comrades tireless efforts then demand for this cheaper labor would go up and thus it's price would rise.

hmm... this claim seems counter to what we know about market economics.

If it's really the case that "diverse" teams(what's the definition of "diverse"?) are so superior to other configurations, then why aren't the Snaps, Bings, and HTCs of the world making it their number one priority to "diversify" and then demonstrating the shining obviousness of the "diverse" claim by successfully taking on the big bad "undiverse" market leaders.

Why do you think it is the purview of SJW brigades to bring these truths on the world when nature otherwise does a pretty good job of revealing her truths.

Maybe they aren't true.

85% of women have children at some point in their lives. This is just a fact. You may know that you're not having kids, but the vast, vast majority of people don't make that choice.

Hong Kong has one of the best subway systems in the world and it generates a profit every year [1]. The USPS also generates profits as well [2]. I would argue that the profit motive incentivises efficiency in both of those examples.

The best innovation often happens when working under constraints; often a drive for profit results in better service for everyone using the infrastructure. Of course this isn't the case 100% of the time, like your example of medicine, which is why I think that to get the best of both worlds you need a mix of government regulation with privatized capitalism. But I think it would be incorrect to dismiss the profit incentive entirely as being bad, and probably in the case of US infrastructure we would benefit from more privatization and not the other way around.

Most railways in Europe and North America were built for the profit of their investors, and made a profit for a long time.

Before that, so were some highways, the canals, and many bridges.

In Britain, the railways were bankrupted by WW2, and afterwards consolidated into a national company (British Rail).

I would love to see this for Ethereum. I was able to understand the Bitcoin protocol fairly quickly with a little reading, but I haven't come across much good writing on the mechanics of the Ethereum protocol. All of the intro texts I've seen are about like "Step 1: install the client" kind of stuff.

I'm not interested so much in how to write smart contracts, so much as how the miners work, how conflicts are resolved, and how the incentive schemes play out.

Would love to get some reading suggestions!
Take the good parts, discard the bad. And there are definitely both in this video.

And even on this point, it's not all bad when you consider how design/architecture studios operate. I probably would've been better off as a junior dev if a bit more of my personal inventiveness (cough - ruby metaprogramming - cough) had been smacked down
While I think that YC tends to be a bit more reasonable on some topics, it can be pretty reactionary on others. For example, if anything to do with Facebook or Zuckerberg is posted, the level of discourse drops to the typical reddit outrage machine.

Similarly, I think that when it comes to talking about sexism in tech, the community as a whole can be pretty toxic. As someone who was annoyed by both the original manifesto, and the response to the original manifesto, it's a bit frustrating to see the conversation here take shape the way it has.
The mechanism you alluded to (dual binding--receiving IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses on an IPv6 socket) requires explicitly disabling the IPV6_V6ONLY option on each socket. Some systems have IPV6_V6ONLY as the default; I think modern FreeBSD releases do this out-of-the-box. I don't think many Linux distributions enable IPV6_V6ONLY by default, but administrators can enable it globally, necessitating a per-socket reversion.

Some systems, like OpenBSD, don't even support disabling IPV6_V6ONLY and therefore don't support dual binding at all. OpenBSD contentiously argues that dual binding is likely to lead to security exploits as applications that naively bind to "::" might not expect to de-queue IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses, consequentially possibly breaking their local access control logic. For example, they may setup firewalls rules that restrict access to the IPv6 port but forget to set the same restrictions on IPv4 ports.

I'm not sure I agree with OpenBSD's approach, but in any event applications should explicitly disable the IPV6_V6ONLY socket option if they're relying on dual binding. Ideally they should use two different sockets; one for each address family. If the application stack doesn't make it easy to listen on multiple sockets, that's a strong hint that the design is broken.
