> might as well put in a full FS read in a cron

ZFS scrub is not the same thing.

If you do a full-filesystem read in a RAID system at the OS level, the redundant blocks won't be read: the RAID system will simply choose one of the copies to read based on which disk(s) is least heavily loaded at the moment. This is why reading on a 2-disk mirror is twice as fast as reading from a single one of the disks comprising the mirror.

During a ZFS scrub, all copies of every block are checked, and because the data is heavily checksummed, ZFS knows which copy is right if one of the 2+ redundant copies doesn't match its checksum.

Additionally, ZFS is structured as a Merkle tree (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merkle_tree) which avoids whole classes of ways traditional filesystems can become deranged at a structural level. ZFS always stores 3+ copies of certain types of filesystem metadata, even on a 1-disk ZFS pool, so that if one gets corrupted, it has 2+ others to choose from. When this same type of corruption happens on a traditional filesystem, well, let's just say that's why `/lost+found` exists.

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

See my post above, giving two anecdotes of ZFS actively repairing data on live filesystems. Both systems were in continuous use while these repairs proceeded, and no data were lost in either.

Before coming to Germany, I'd always pay for a coffee or pop or other $1 purchase with a debit card. I know it may seem like it makes more sense to pay for something with a Euro coin, but after the Pf and it becomes a Euro and extra change... and to me, it's just more of a hassle to pay with coins instead of plastic.
I did try to get used to not using debit before coming here I just hate fishing around in my case for change and either having to know how much my stuff will cost before getting to the front of the till or dealing with the knowledge that I'm holding up the line.
Just an observation. There's this tricky corner in the Marina Fillmore/NorthPoint. It took the corner pretty fast and I was surprised (could have been under manual control). People cross there indiscriminately without looking and I have been caught in a few close situations in my car. A creeping system around corners blocked by cars could be helpful.
I see what you're saying. People have a natural tendency to form an us-vs-them mentality and form their own little tribes. It is an ideological extreme.

However, I believe that there exists a growing extreme on the opposite side of the spectrum that believes there is no right or wrong, and thus we need to be accepting of everything that everyone has to say, which goes too far in my opinion.

I believe that it stems from multiculturalism teaching people that all cultures(and thus values) are valid, which is true on a global scale, but ignores the fact that having a particular culture locally helps in defining what is right or wrong socially and form a communal cohesion. I understand this is controversial. If you disagree, please comment so I may learn the flaws in my argument.

I frankly doubt so. The same problem will happen with Iran within 10-20 years. Either USA resigns on maintaining its own safety/defense or it will use NK as a beta-test for all future wars. With SU you could have still expected rational actors; these days it seems like insanity is the new normal and future looks unstable.
To address your point ("So what's really the harm here"), there's a lot of reasons copyright law exists, including:

1. By using his work without permission, you risk misrepresenting his message. For example, you might accidentally remove a key passage or quote or citation. After all, you say "Below are (in our opinion) the essential excerpts" - I have a feeling he wouldn't agree.

2. He almost certainly prefers to have his work consolidated in a single place (he has a distinctive style), for any number of reasons (branding, analytics, ability to remove and/or edit, etc.)

3. At the end of the day, it's his property.

I think it's easy to think "these laws don't really make sense here, because of [foo] reason", but it's nonsensical to do so without asking for pg's permission. You risk looking like you knew that he wouldn't be ok with it. If you really intended to help him, just ask.

Who cares about wealth? If I want to save my income more than my neighbor and build up a relatively large amount of wealth, that's my business. If I go out and earn a very large income compared to my neighbor, I can at least see how that's the government's business and agree that the higher income earner should pay more. But I strongly disagree with the notion that wealth accumulation should be penalized.
Thank you! I really appreciate hearing that :D
I don't think this is the place for a discussion on theology. Might I suggest a slightly different question: do gay and gender fluid Muslims exist? The answer is clearly yes. One need not go far to see stories of extremist groups throwing them off of buildings for being so.

Interesting, so, in a way, one's precept of tolerance is a meta-ideology in and of itself?
The problem you point out is real; similarly Gresham's law. And while something like gold does have an intrinsic value based on its engineering uses, that value tends towards relative zero as the monetary bubble inflates. And I suppose you could say something similar about Bitcoin, with its intrinsic worth being the value of a distributed-trust ordering (eg timestamping) system, but I digress.

But the problem pointed out by the hard money enthusiasts is real as well. Once more tokens are being created for systemic reasons, a principle agent problem on who gets those newly created tokens is also created. In our present system it's the banking cartel, as they can spin it to sound as if they're impartial by loaning most of the money out. But they do take the first cut (points) and ongoing fees (interest) for use of the money that their privileges conjured, and nowadays have even dropped all pretense of being symmetric by stopping paying out interest.

We don't know what the resolution is between these conflicting frameworks (otherwise, the problem would be solved). But it's not particularly surprising that when the second problem grows in scope as it has in our modern society, benefiting the well connected while further eroding the power of the masses at the edge, that the first problem will be ignored while seeking refuge from the second.

While I agree with that person's comments, I am not sure i'd aggree that is what happened in the first Bitcoin bubble. The main event was that Mt Gox got hacked, and a number of other things happened around that time (for instance the IRS recognized bitcoin as an asset so they could tax it) that culminated in a big crash for the market as confidence was lost all of a sudden, after a big spike in prices.

> What if a big part of solving the pipeline problem is simply for companies to demand more diverse candidates because leadership finally start to recognize the research that suggests that diverse teams outperform homogeneous teams on many metrics?

Last I read, the Economist said there is an advantage to diversity when attempting to be creative, but in other scenarios the advantage goes to the homogeneous team.

I think it was that article I read, can't tell because I'm over my article limit.
True enough, I didn't check out the authors or those endorsing the report. The report wasn't from a peer-reviewed journal, but then neither is the NYT or Snopes.

The analysis could be considered on its merit. I'd leave that to people better qualified in that field than I am.

We'd expect bias, that's entirely normal in all research. But the deep polarization of the scientific community considering climate data and findings is symptomatic of the absurd political influence on the field. The extreme level of viciousness surrounding climate research has to render all of it suspect in any honest observer's mind.
How about common sense?

> We need to fix a system of work not paying enough, large companies exploiting workers and poor healthcare and education systems.

I think we're awfully close to agreement here. I'm hesitant to advocate attempting to engineer this by forcing higher pay. I just don't believe we can snap our fingers and collectively decide that the output of our workers is worth more than it is.

I don't know the exact problem or solution, but I believe that our technology has failed us. Our modern technological advancements have been laser-focused on displacing human labor, rather than enhancing it. We're making automated systems where the few human operators left at all are more replaceable and therefore less valuable. We need to find technological solutions where the combined output of automation and expertise of humans are leveraged together. That was what built the middle class in the first place. Not shaking down the wealthy.

Huh? You don't have to check your CC if you feel you have a good grasp of how much you are spending.

If anything, the CC statement gives you an objective summary of your spending, in case you want to recall something 10 months later, or budget for the future. When you pay only in cash, it will be a burden to keep the receipts, organized and readable, for that long.

Plus, isn't it less hassle to use a credit card rather than visit the ATM every so often?

Yes, the article title manages to be both clickbait and flamebait, and to leave it as is would not only violate the HN guidelines, (which specifically ask for such titles to be changed: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html), it would also do considerable damage to HN. Emotions are running particularly high about such material right now.
Ben Thompson was talking about this on his podcast. His idea was that over time capital earns more money than labor - due to automation, as you say.

If the end game is 100% automatised then basically 100% of income will be produced by machines/robots/algorithms owned by a tiny proportion of human population.
How does that make the practice any less sleazy? I wonder why a publisher wouldn't want to disclose somewhere in the text (even in 6 point gray on white text in a footer) that the publisher gets paid when users browse to Amazon through the links and buy something?
Is your argument if you take a statement and alter it fundamentally to make it about race and the new altered statement is offensive then the original statement was offensive?
I think it depends on your interpretation, western Muslims however are more accepting of LGBT in general.

I think the real question is whether the app is intended for people who are currently practicing muslims or people who were brought up muslim. There's many non practicing Muslims who keep the Islamic morality like former christians and jews do.

> The fix was to have it towed to the dealer where they'd clean out the engine for a few hundred dollars. Later I learned you could tow-start it if you could get it up past 20mph. It'd put all kinds of foul smoke out the back when you did that but in terms of hassle, it was much better.

You don't need to do all that. You can just pull the EGI INJ & EGI COMP fuse, crank it for a few seconds, replace and start it up. Many folks put a bypass switch inside the car so they don't have to get out and do it. Works great.
This happens in grocery stores in the US but many other stores don't have enough volume to bother.
I wonder if it's a good idea to accelerate the progress towards a future that they may not be successful in. If all this is as disruptive as many people think then they may well be bringing forward their own demise.

It's pretty new
Bayesian probability addresses uncertainty about whether an event will/did occur, but treats the actual occurrence of the event as a boolean value of {0, 1}.

Fuzzy logic recognizes degrees of occurrence, represented by any number between 0 and 1. Its proponents contend that this allows richer abstraction of the ways that humans actually perceive and reason about the world. In their view, probability is just a special case of fuzzy logic, using artificially restricted truth values.

In 1985 it's pseudocode.
The original post that started all of this is here: http://gizmodo.com/exclusive-heres-the-full-10-page-anti-div...

Some useful ideas in that post which were buried:
Google itself has unexamined biases; There's real fear among some people that they can't speak their mind on sensitive issues because they might be ostracized for fired for them (which the author was); Google needs to have an open and honest discussion about the costs and benefits of our diversity programs; Google needs to focus on psychological safety, not just race/gender diversity.

By my count, zero of those were discussed after the memo. Related to the content of the linked article we're discussing -- the author tried to actually promote diversity with some ideas (albeit in a hamfisted, and potentially offensive, way)

His opponents have some points too... (here's a typical response: https://medium.com/@yonatanzunger/so-about-this-googlers-man...)

The memo is pushing a fairly outdated and unsupported notion of fundamental biological differences between the genders. The memo did not out and out say "women can't code" but it sure did seem like that's what he meant.
The memo author did not for even an instant think about what affect his memo would have on other people, and so whether misinterpreted or not, he may be guilty of creating a hostile work place.
The memo called for "De-emphasize empathy". This would validly seem to many people like a really bad idea.

On a sensitive cultural issue, engineers will tend to get upset if what they write/think is misinterpreted. But on emotional issues, you'd best pay attention to how your message arrives, because it's always more important than what you intended your message to mean.

His opponents are currently drowning him out, but the way that even they are doing it isn't terribly intellectually honest. For example, making simple claims that all of his claims are refuted by decades of science but neglecting to proffer that science is a fairly normal but annoying intellectually dishonest thing to do in a debate.

--

Google got put in a bad situation here. Diversity is a very important cultural value to them. So they couldn't do nothing. And I also think it's a terrible idea to fire a person who was explicitly writing about how the company won't permit open discussion of hard issues. This is what makes him a culture war football, because the extremes on both sides will be able to look at this case, and see all of their worst fears.

I would like to see a similar study done in IT, though I suspect the outcome will be similar.

I personally would like to have more women in tech, but it seems implausible that the current dearth is because of any systemic discrimination against women.

I wonder why people are claiming that this is a reason for the problem?
Why is that not fair? It seems to be the opposite. Relative equality 50 years ago was partially driven by technology (structure of productive forces, as Marxists would say), partially by monopolies of trade unions. Changing first isn't fair or not: it is just life, everything goes. Changing second is totally fair.

Workers doing the work aren't driving anything, they are being displaced in huge numbers. Income share of capitalists isn't rising, if anything it is falling as returns on capital diminish, which is more than compensating for increased value of that capital. Top 1% who are capturing most of growth are people working for hire (share of income from capital is very small in top 1%, small in top 0.1%, and moderate in top 0.01%, dominating only in the very, very, very small fraction of extremely rich - billionaires). Otherwise, people who win are like, top coders. Top designers. Yes, top lawyers. Top everyone. We are living in the world where success almost infinitely scales.

If some part of population loses as a result well, in every generation we have winners and we have losers. Family farmers 50 years ago also lost all their capital, sources of income, been thrown out of their land and felt like it was deeply unfair and predatory. That could be a problem if it resulted in increasing crime rates (but these are solvable with proper investments, including in software like crime prediction). But, crime rates are falling.

In short, whenever i see someone shouting 'we are becoming less equal, that isn't fair, huge troubles are on the way' i can't help but remember Soviet Union where i grew up. That country was pretty fucking equal, at least on paper. Trust me you don't want to try it on yourself.
