VCs don't invest their own money.

I haven't been privy to details of many VC funded companies, but the ones I saw definitely had the VC General Partners investing their personal money side by side with money from their Limited Partners. That was reflected in the names on the preferred stock certificates from day one. (Probably don't do paper stock certificates any more).

I agree with your statement that "it's not that obvious" as to who should have control, and there are good arguments both ways. My personal inclination would always remain that the people putting up the money should have the final say.
> Well, for multi core workloads AMD is a clear winner.

Actually not really. It's actually slower in x265 encoding than a 7900X, and it doesn't really pull away much in x264 or Blender rendering either (10-25% over a 7900X). Also, it appears to perform pretty badly at some compilation workloads too, like a 1950X barely beats a 6900K at Chromium compiling using MSVS.

At most you can say that you really need to look at the specific task. Of course there may still be some tuning, but right now it's certainly not the slam-dunk that everyone assumed it would be.

Not a particularly great showing overall for a processor with 60% more cores. Despite AMD's attempted pushback it appears Intel's smack-talk was correct and Infinity Fabric is not a magic panacea for NUMA performance problems.

It also pulls an absolutely absurd amount of power to do it, literally more than a 7900X. The onboard package-power measurement appears to be drastically undershooting the power as measured at the wall. Even factoring out PSU efficiency losses, measuring inside the case something is eating at least 130W that isn't showing up as package power.

I think the key point the author is trying to make is: "Does biology play a role in what choices women make when it comes to selecting a career path?"

Clearly, this is not attributable to a single argument or factor. Rather, you have to look at several different reasons. Some are likely cultural, some are likely genetic and the interplay is going to be vastly complex (see e.g., epigenetics).

To make the argument, you have to survey a larger number of areas and show that they all point in the same direction, which is what the author is trying to do in the first place. And in particular, you have to demonstrate how the areas contribute to women making a choice against tech in general.

Hence, the studies showing how men are more often systemizing than women and so on are far better markers/arguments from a pure biological standpoint, than a difference in the 5 factor model.

Personally, I think most diversity programs fail to achieve any kind of success in improving the gender balance. In two prongs, you have to retain women who are already in tech, and you have to get more women into tech. The latter of those two is a hard sell if women simply don't want to be in the tech world, no matter how much you try to seduce and coerce them. And I think it would be too authoritarian to force them into a role they don't want to belong in.

I think the author is spot on with the observation that more competitive fields are more likely to have men employed over women. And more cooperative fields are better at retaining women. E.g., Law in Denmark has an almost 50/50 gender split, but women are far more likely to be employed in the public sector as lawyers. The law firms, where 80+ work weeks are the norm, are usually employing men. Jordan B. Peterson, whether you like him or not, posed the question as to why men are willing to fucking do that, and I happen to find that question quite interesting.

I also think tech in general would benefit from having some ventures which are more cooperative, but this is not likely to come from a highly competitive venture capitalist private sector, I'm afraid. Nor do I think Google can pull that one off.

The point is that you aren't more fortunate with a nominally higher salary if your baseline (not luxury) costs consume it all. I'm doing about the same as anyone else who can barely afford to rent a studio and can't afford to have a car or travel.

Someone with a third of my salary gets a house, a car, and more disposable income which goes further. The one area where I'm really blowing them out of the water is my $5/mo health insurance that makes all care effectively free. That's a function of the company, though, not the salary. Our much lower paid, lower skilled workers in satellite offices get the same benefits package.

Unicode support and new style classes were in Python 2.7.

Type annotations that don't do anything are one of the worse ideas I've ever seen in a programming language. Optional type annotations that are checked and used for optimization would be fine. But what's gone in is useless. Also, the syntax, which puts some type information in comments, is lame.

Python 3 isn't bad at this point. The first few years of Python 3 really sucked. The syntax was less compatible, and particularly hard on those who used Unicode in Python 2.7, because u'abc' was prohibited. "2to3" didn't work very well. Many, many libraries were not converted. The newer libraries for Python 3 were buggy due to being underutilized. Python 3 before Python 3.3 was quite bad.

Most of that's been fixed. The "six" module was a big help in porting. Eventually, "u'abc" was allowed. Most of the libraries were ported and available and debugged on both 2.7 and 3.x. But it took many years, and gratuitous incompatibilities made it harder than necessary.
It's fitting punishment for Von Rossum that he's forced to maintain the Python 2.7 system at his day job at Dropbox.
You are not going to see many research papers with DARPA staff as an authors. That's just not how they work.

Instead, they contract with academic and industrial researchers to work on specific things that are (or might someday be) of particular interest to the DoD. Thus, if there's a huge DARPA-funded breakthrough in Probabilistic Programming, it's going to have (say) Frank Woods' and Oxford University's name on it, not the DARPA program manager's. The final work might not even be published. They're happy to fund industrial groups if that lays the groundwork for products that the DoD eventually wants to buy.
A little bit. Configured for constant bit-rates, x264 can still do a bit of jiggling on the assumption that there's a buffer, which helps with quality in general. Two-pass gives it information to do that better.

But constant-quality modes are far superior when you're not bandwidth-constrained.

You can have a dating app which uses filters and so forth to find your mate. RESTRICTING access (as opposed to a search filter) based on race, gender, etc. is pretty damn iffy.

From crunchbase (https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/benchmark/investment...) it looks like Benchmark made three investments in Uber, the last of which was in 2013.

Incidentally from what I can make of their investments in Uber on crunchbase, they need Uber's market cap to be $31bn just to break even on their investment (13% of the business for $411m). That's probably what they're fighting for.

2 comments I have received about how a narrative of diversity has ended up becoming about genderism being the only kind of diversity lens worth looking through:

- capable folks who are excluded because they are not part of the majority already have to deal with the challenge of having to be a 1.x times better than the average person getting the position.

- folks in the majority negatively affected by having more competition for those positions may be upset they may have to be 1.25 times as good as the other guy had to, which is frightening.

There is no question people aren't the same for many reasons.

There is no question that people who are competent for a role are overlooked. I don't think this gender conversation is meant to head towards a conversation of a new form of casteism, or eugenics... but certainly shares some similarities of what people should, or shouldn't be allowed to do.

Though honestly it seems that a lot of the stories were because of Kalanick's leadership. It wasn't a single instance of bad behavior, it was that the bad behavior persisted and became part of company culture when in most companies it would have been dealt with immediately, or at least without a pattern.

Rehashing the stories like that when the old leadership was out and new leadership was on its way in would be less newsworthy.

> Most kinds of damage cannot be repaired on a live filesystem anyway. Even in ZFS.

You're totally wrong.

The easiest way to demonstrate why is for you to set up a script to randomly write zeros/junk in any amount, at any time, anywhere over one of the block devices being used by ZFS, all day every day.

[Assuming you're using one of the available forms of redundancy i.e. multiple copies, ZRAID1/2, or mirroring etc.]

Sit back and watch ZFS giving no fucks at all as it repairs all the damage passively.

You can even introduce such damage in moderate quantities across all of the block devices used by ZFS. Again, you'll see a goddamn incredible amount of self-healing going on and accurate reporting about where it's unable to recover files due to the damage across multiple volumes being too extensive.

It's unlikely that even in this extreme instance of willful massive harm to the disks you'll see the filesystem being damaged because a) filesystem metadata is checksummed too b) the metadata blocks are automatically stored twice in different places c) you also have the redundancy of multiple devices e.g. mirroring/zraid.

Try it, prove me wrong.
