rather than edge around your accusations, it might be better to state plainly what you're accusing him of. You're suggesting he's using "Marxist intellectuals" as a codeword for Jews, and that he's actually a Nazi (or at the very least a conspiracy theorist anti-semite) who is carefully wording his ideological diatribe so it sounds less ominous?

This is usually the accusation that's thrown out by ideologues to silence the middle ground by accusing them of being secret ideologues on the other side. Every communist is just "punching Nazis" and every fascist is just "stopping the red threat" when in actual fact they're both just oppressing moderates. Maybe think about that before you casually accuse people of being Nazis based on subtle inferences.
If they determined you did for taxes, it's a no-no:
Former U.S. citizens would be required to obtain a visa to travel to the United States or show that they are eligible for admission pursuant to the terms of the Visa Waiver Program. If unable to qualify for a visa, the person could be permanently barred from entering the United States.

If the Department of Homeland Security determines that the renunciation is motivated by tax avoidance purposes, the individual will be found inadmissible to the United States under Section 212(a)(10)(E) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1182(a)(10)(E)), as amended.

Because no one stopped and offered a third option: actually discussing his argument, acknowledging where he was right, and discussing what he got wrong.

You're assuming Damore's argument exists in a vacuum. But it doesn't. It had a stated purpose of changing HR and hiring policies at Google, and with that, the unavoidable implication that some of Damore's colleagues actually shouldn't be with the company.

When you throw that kind of poison grenade into a work environment and back it up with unsupported biological claims, it's not a surprise that any good points in the argument will be ignored.

I'm reminded of Wiio's law, "All human communication fails except by accident." [1]

If you want to make a subtle point, you must communicate it very clearly -- for some reason many writers like Damore take the opposite approach. And if you want an argument to be debated from first principles, isolate it from real-world consequences like stepping on established workplace legislation. (Damore's firing was unavoidable under current US law.)

To answer your question we need to build in a love lock ("aren’t these humans adorable") that builds a smarter love lock and hope the chain hold as AI scales up to the Singularity.

The more likely result is we lose control of the AI’s since the last 100x increase will occur too fast for us to deal with. Even if the generalised Moore’s doesn’t accelerate over the last 100x leap, we only have 10 years from 0.01x to 1x.
I couldn't agree more, I think the level of left wing propaganda in the media is pretty terrifying. What reassures me is that most people seem to hold very different opinions than those the liberal media seem to be trying to indoctrinate.

Personally I think you can find racial and sex differences if you look for them. The athletics world championships are on at the moment. What race wins most of the races? Why do we have separate men and women's events? And yet we are told that despite there being obvious physical differences, there are no differences in non-physical aptitude, and furthermore, even to ponder the idea is heretical. I don't get it. Do we really think that if differences were found we are about to start herding one race off to labour camps? Or ban men from going into child care because they don't have the natural aptitude for it?

I always think it's worth questioning prevailing beliefs, at least within my own head.

> Historically, the U.S. government identified sources of materials in Third World countries, and then encouraged U.S. corporations to invest in and facilitate their production. Dating back to the mid-1960s, the U.S. government literally installed the dictatorship of Mobutu Sese Seko, which gave U.S. corporations access to the Congo’s minerals for more than 30 years. However, over the years Mobutu began to limit access by Western corporations, and to control the distribution of resources. In 1998, U.S. military-trained leaders of Rwanda and Uganda invaded the mineral-rich areas of the Congo. The invaders installed illegal colonial-style governments which continue to receive millions of dollars in arms and military training from the United States. Our government and a $5 million Citibank loan maintains the rebel presence in the Congo. Their control of mineral rich areas allows western corporations, such as American Mineral Fields, to illegally mine. Rwandan and Ugandan control over this area is beneficial for both governments and for the corporations that continue to exploit the Congo’s natural wealth.

Ask HN: Would you pay for a UI framework?
We're working on a powerful UI framework that offers many advanced features such as a touch-friendly component library with form elements, advanced data-tables and charts, form validation, data-binding, visual themes, etc.
For developers, such a framework boosts productivity tremendously by saving time they would spend developing or integrating individual components from multiple sources.
Even with professional support and all these features, we don't see a lot of interest and we're wondering why that is.

Would you ever pay for such a product?

I think there's always been an interplay between different roles.

If you go back enough, the historical role of college has been that of a "finishing school" for the higher/educated classes. More so, the further you go back.

In places with a more conscious class heritage (eg UK), talented students saw these colleges as a merit-based ticket into the higher classes. Over time, academic merit gained prominence.

Social class largely overlaps with academic merit, so the identities didn't clash too hard. But, you can see both heritages in modern Universities.

For example...Colleges (esp US) are very interested in college as "tranformative years of my life" experience. Generally speaking, this is a luxury only the rich could afford. For the median family, this is still a massive expense.

TLDR: roles change.

FWIW it was added back in 2.8.0 (though only as a short `--lf` options). 3.2.0 makes it smarter by improving the first-failed/last-failed clear behaviour: it now only clears tests which have succeeded.

You can see the use case in the PR: make a change, it breaks a lot of tests, then fix module par module e.g. after an initial `pytest` (failed lots) fix `pytest core --lf`, then fix `pytest controller --lf`, … the problem pre-3.2 is that `pytest core --lf` would reset the cache with only its own failures, so the subsequent `pytest controller —lf` would start with an empty cache and run every single test rather than only those which had previously failed.

This is problematic when you have a large expensive testing base (e.g. so much so that you xdist it, as the original PR did)
A few days too late.
Where were all these journalists when all media outlets were shouting the guy is a sexist jerk who says there is no place for women in the workplace?

These kind of lies is the core of the problem. You even put quotes around it, yet the guy never wrote anything like that. You just made it up.
Maybe. I am arguing that one shouldn't participate in "rational discussions" with people who don't adhere to the standards of rational discussion themselves, especially in public.

If you disagree with me, and want to enter into such discussions, I obviously can't stop you (and might aid you). But if I had a platform, I might not lend it to you to have your discussion in public. Would you count that as shutting down other people's discussion? If not then we have no significant disagreement.

And for the record, I think shaming people into being silent about their opinions, even if they are demonstrably incorrect, instead of trying to change them, strikes me as a big mistake.

So there is a difficult balancing act between not allowing people to propagate irrational believes that don't engage with the available evidence (and promote views that are actively harmful to a part of the population), and engaging with people to convince them of the evidence and the rational view.
The reason why a very high level “free” AI would want to destroy humanity is we are a very inefficient use of matter. Rearranging the atoms in our body into something more efficient and the computational power you could get out of them will be order of magnitude higher.

Combine this with the cognitive gap between us and the AI’s being greater than between us and bacteria and we will not survive in our current form for longer than a millisecond.
User interfaces are not just forms and wizards. You cannot build everything from a high level template. That's why the whole UX discipline exists.
The Billion Dollar Fight: What Does It Mean for Sponsorship ROI?
This is why I love Google Play Music, you can basically upload any kind of personally-acquired (legally or not) music to the service and it will seamlessly and transparently integrate with the platform itself and let you stream them wherever and whenever like any other.

They are stricter than Spotify with regional licenses unfortunately. I listen to a lot of Japanese artists that are on Spotify but not on GPM in Europe (but are there in Japan), I simply imported their albums and ripped them and uploaded them on the service and now they behave exactly the same. Not ideal, but still. For like 90% of the rest of the library (anecdotal experience at least) it's the same as Spotify, which is pretty great.

DISCLAIMER: I work at Google, but I've been using GPM long before that. These are my opinions and not those of my employer, yadda yadda.

Memo authored used his own name, was fired anyway. What is the point? While he may still have legal options, what does opening yourself up to harm prove?

It's only reasonable to insist you use your own name is a rational, fair system; which the internet, and court of popular opinion is not; As such, anonymity is something of a right, and should be a standard on the wild-west environment of the internet.

Plus, since the author provided citations, there is no value in providing his own name - the authority doesn't come from the author. He is inviting a discussion on the topic, and it doesn't really matter who he is to do that - anyone wanting to join the discussion should still be free to do so.
If I want to get all levels of an arbitrarily nested tree, I just query for all of the objects that are in the tree in a flat array and then reconstruct the tree on the client side using the parent/child Ids.

This is similar to what I would have to do server side if I were using SQL to get the data and then processing it to return a tree in JSON.

If I know how deep the tree will be (and it is only two or three levels) I query it directly with graphql
Doesn't seem to be the case in London. I have a £300 bike (price when it was new, now probably worth much less) and use two secure locks (£35 each). It's outside every night and over several years, the only thing that's been stolen was my saddle once.

Colleagues of mine with e-bikes or other, more expensive, bikes had parts stolen much more frequently.

There's always the risk of vandalism but I guess most thefts will know what an item is worth on ebay, they won't bother about a bike they could only get £50 for.

That's the concern with e-bikes, their battery is probably already worth stealing.
No. If you distributed the students admitted to Harvard among other universities their education would be impaired by the fact that the professors would have to dumb down the material taught in their classes to their less bright colleagues. Not to mention that the professors themselves would not be as smart and accomplished as Harvard professors.
well, objects are not iterables... ??? unless you decide you want them to be, in which case you can make them such and design them in a way that they work as such?

The least elegant way is Object.keys().map(key => etc) which is really not that hard to work with

edit: it's a phony premise to begin with actually. Iterables have order, objects have mapping. I am less experienced with other languages so I probably don't understand OP's statement clearly. I just think OP's context is lazy thought rot about what's becoming a fairly elegant language. BUT I'm a noob.
Yes but limiting yourself to a crappy bike is depressing. You've giving in to fear of thieves. They have "stolen" your good bike ride, and you're okay with that?

Having a good quality bike makes riding more enjoyable, safer, more comfortable, more efficient.
Statistical significance doesn't imbue a datapoint with worth, but I guess that thinking is why many research literatures are unreliable because people filter which results get published.
It's not very useful debating this, without giving an area.

I might if it's a one-time payment and not a subscription service.
However, these days before I choose something I base my decision not only on the actual merits of a given product/project, but also on its popularity. Like it or not, if there is a large user base, everything is easier (on average), from documentation to support. If you can replicate that and convince users you're a viable choice and unlikely to disappear soon, you have better chances. I'm not going to invest my time in learning and using a product that might get abandoned next year, and if it's not open source I'm really screwed up then.

Show HN: Apodidae – Search for swift packages right from the command line
> conveniently ignoring the mountains of evidence that don't fit the stated thesis.

This is a tricky subject: http://slatestarcodex.com/2014/12/12/beware-the-man-of-one-s...

As a (relative) laymen, I think he makes a good effort. And he doesn't even seem to assume his conclusions, instead inviting further discussion on the topic.
Hi all,

I was missing a small tool somewhat akin to npm (specifically npm's search and install functionality) for the swift ecosystem so I spent some time writing something to fill that gap. I'd really love some feedback on the idea and usability :)

The basic idea is that it's hard to find suitable packages when writing a swift library or executable. There is no single centralized listing of all packages (packagecatalog.com and swiftmodules.com can only have so current data), so this tool queries GitHub's API directly for repos written in Swift that include a file named Package.swift. It offers ways to search for packages, display more info about them and add them to your package manifest.

You can find the project here: https://github.com/kiliankoe/apodidae

It conveniently installs as `swift-catalog` so that you can run it like a subcommand of swift itself as `swift catalog`. The basic interaction is also shown in the README in more detail.

There's still quite a few rough edges and the code definitely needs some cleanup, it's more of a test than something that should be depended on at this point I guess, but as stated: I'm open for all kinds of feedback!
Yes.

I have not published them, because

a) they use the same method names like the `kotlin-html` package ("div{}" et. al.), only they create ReactElement instead of manipulating the dom. This could be confusing.

b) The type-safe scoping mechanism, so that each scope has it's correct prop-setters and won't inherit setters from a scope further up is rather complex. It uses extension methods with multiple receivers plus operator overrides for `invoke()`.

That is rather complicated to follow so I want to try it out for some time to check if there's confusion or subtle bugs.

c) I haven't optimised for (allocation-)performance yet.

d) I'm using an early-access version of kotlin 1.1.4 which isn't out yet.
Well. You invented everything you're claiming it said.

At no point did it even insinuate that women were less capable than men, what it seemed to be trying to do is note marginal statistical differences in choices by men and women and what we could do as an industry to be more accommodating to women without resorting to hiring quotas- which, he claims, may actually cause greater levels of imposter syndrome and tension amongst genders.

There was no part of the document that came close to refuting that women have a right to be in the industry. In fact. The document was the opposite, "how do we get women in tech in a non-discriminatory way?"
>paying 30%+ of your income in taxes worldwide

This is a big misunderstanding of US taxation. Every US citizen must file their taxes on income earned anywhere in the world, even if not earned in the US.

However, for most people, it is very unlikely to actually pay any additional tax to the US government.

I think there are two perfectly acceptable schools of thought.

One says that the history should be preserved exactly, because its important we keep a record of exactly what happened.

The second says that its ok to rewrite history a little if that makes it more understandable.

I think you would put yourself in the first, and that's ok. I would put myself in the second because at the end of the day I value understanding over precision in git histories. I'm of the opinion that one cares about the commit I made to correct a missing semicolon.
You can use it occasionally. I have colleagues who only cycle to work once per week. That's still a 20% reduction in traffic and will probably still bring health benefits.
Yes wars have been won and lost for many reasons over history, but since the development of meritocracy (last 200 years) those societies that have embraced it have won all the important wars.

Do you really think the nobility just rolled over and gave the middle classes all the power because they asked nicely?

Edit. Actually that is exactly what merit is. Meritocracy is not rule by the just, but rule by those most likely to be winners. It just happens that given the opportunity the “winners" are most likely to be found within then middle class.
I've been using graphql recently and I have found it very productive.

Providing a lot of flexibility to the client when querying the server eliminates a lot of server side work that would normally be required in order to implement new user stories.

It does require a bit of a mindset change so I am often having to force myself to try doing things in a different way to my first assumption.
I understand that you like to discover new music. But for me it's the other way around, I like to discover old stuff. Basically, things that I should I've listened at 30 years ago. Moreover, in that old stuff, it's always things that I've missed at that time, so most of the time, it's very niche stuff (old EBM tracks, obscure new wave bands, etc.); if it was not niche, then I wouldn't have missed it. So for me, the current services are not broad enough... Because I'm interested in the 1% that didn't make it... YouTube remains, for me, the best option (because many people upload things without looking at rights issues and because old-and-niche music is not worth protecting)
