Nice name LOL.

Good advice... but I've accepted that where I work, I'll never move up in higher paid or any company positions. Like I said, I was targeted and they were trying to get rid of me for a long time.

I've already been passed over for promotions and my fate was already sealed... this was very clear to me when I was going through my ordeal for months. Several female co-workers noticed what was going on, actually stepped in, and defended me, until finally the bosses and supervisors left me alone. These female co-workers are now in senior positions and I'm happy for them as I feel it was well deserved. It sucks that these women had to protect me, but even when I stood up for myself, it is probably what nearly got me fired.

Don't get me wrong, I love my job, I love what I do and I'm not miserable where I work, but I've tried to make relationships happen, but the damage is done, and so is my branding. While I've been able to repair some of the damage, it can never fully be mended. I do get my daily raises and bonuses per company standards, but anything besides that will probably never happen.

While I've accepted what is, I'm not just someone who accepts the fate of such, and I've started up a few side businesses that have helped compensate me for what I will never "make at work". I see it as my opportunity to make more money. Eventually, I hope that my main job will be a secondary job for me.
The "junk bond" rating and high debt load makes me a little nervous, but maybe that's irrelevant and this is just them raising money as an accelerant because they can get it at a good price?
That definition doesn't in any way support your contention that prisoners cannot be coerced.
I can attest to this. I am rich now and can afford to attend a college near nyc to get degree in journalism. I was dirt poor for most of my life though, so I hope to carry that perspective with me forward.

Is it common for inmates to have relatives and church members on their back about not having children?

It seems there is a more serious situation that the relatives and church members would be on their back about.
Why is a beach up for sale if it's not up for private gating?

(Why doesn't California declare its coastline public property that is not-for-sale?)

edit: Just found out the answer. Beaches themselves are never for sale, even though properties right up to the edge of the beach are. Next question: Are all river banks public property too? Can you not build a manufacturing plant at a river bank? What about lakes? Are lakes public property?
As a ML researcher and an avid dota fan, I'm jealous! And it must have been great with Dendi the legend there too.
If it was just myself, I'd agree with you but I seriously doubt someone who knows Amazon's procedures this well did it only once. It's not unreasonable to assume this person is running scams like this full time. If they're running scams full time and making enough to earn enough money to live by, they're stealing a full living worth of money from law-abiding citizens, a full life someone else should have.

That's why I wouldn't have a problem with someone like this getting 20y.

But the 20y is also a maximum and it's unlikely they'd be sentenced that harshly.
Aside from human vs machine style comments, the issue this would also have to avoid is what's referred to as "over tuned". ie when content is balanced to a point where variation has to be maximally efficient. See also http://nethack4.org/blog/strategy-headroom.html

Also, while my response focused on one example I personally experienced, to discredit claims about fake-taking-offense, it's not necessarily the case that others are staying home solely because people hold beliefs. There's also, presumably, a general atmosphere of drama to avoid, stress and the like. So it's not merely a document.

When has it ever been socially acceptable to demand that another individual discuss everything that you want? I would never go up to my friend and say, I want to talk about coconuts! If you don't want to talk about coconuts, then you're not really open and tolerant! You are intolerant of my affection for coconuts! Meanwhile, I'm willing to talk about coconut milk, but you require that the conversation include discussion of the shell.

Nobody would ever do that.

Damore stubbornly ignores Pichai's willingness to discuss some of what he wrote more deeply. Damore pretends that Google isn't willing to discuss any of the issues he raised, which isn't true. And, he really has no standing to demand his political beliefs be discussed at work. If people don't want to discuss them, including his managers, and they feel he's being a distraction, then he's out.
I guess my point is premature regulation in general. In this case and with Bitfinex, citizens are deprived of "pursuit of happiness...", for what? Protection of the individual from their own own mistakes? More likely, eventual taxation.

Anyway, it's not the end of the world for personally. Just a hassle. And I do not have time to "take it up with Hawaii". Maybe some day.

Good. Airbnb, has no choice. It's illegal to discriminate when renting/selling houses. Anyone doing so is in violation of the law. Too bad the article didn't mention that. It says a lot about what kind of scum they inconvenienced by following the law. Fuck those people if they want to break the law. They don't deserve these services or even the ability to rent/sell homes if they're going to ignore the law and be racist assholes to customers. Their "freedom" to be racist stops when they hurt others. Airbnb is simply being proactive because they know what will happen if they don't.
I think Bender said it best:

"Yeah, but everyone's a jerk. You, me, this jerk. That's my philosophy."
"Overnight success" is virtually always a bullshit lie.

And in the very few cases where it's not, it's worthless as an example and incredibly dangerous to chase.

Put your head down, do the work, and enjoy the "overnight success" stories in a decade, if ever.
This elegant-naive model of the law seems to be quite popular with certain hackers, 'sovereign citizens' etc. It works right up to the point where the judge says 'yeh... I don't think so, you're being silly'
Without even getting into misconceptions and inaccuracies here, the following quotes illustrate "the moving goalposts of AI": The almost-metaphysical "mystique" that many attribute (perhaps subconsciously) to human intelligence vs machine intelligence:

> AI techniques, which are good at learning what is "in the data"
but have not yet been shown to be capable of thinking outside the box

> AIs would be highly vulnerable

> exploitable quirks in the AI

> established lack of robustness of neural nets

> clever human players will be quick to exploit them

Of course, it is important to identify pitfalls, so as to address them. But it is sad that no matter how good AI gets, there will always be pessimistic reasoning downplaying its success. With every step forward, there are the predictions of impassible future failures -- "just around the corner"!

Due to this mystical "cleverness" attributed exclusively to humans, I'm not convinced a majority of humans will ever allow machines to be considered 'intelligent', no matter how far the technology advances. I'd love to be proven wrong, though.
Unrelatedly, have the Julia devs decided to require variable declaration yet? E.g. "local x = 1" instead of just "x = 1"? Or better yet, "x := 1"?

How many times does this mistake have to be repeated in various languages? It'll just be a matter of time before people are banging on for a strict mode, and rightfully so.

At least the default scope in Julia is local. :/
Thing is that he picks an organizing principle⁽¹⁾ and rides it into the ground, through the center of the earth, and back out the other side until eventually de-emphasizing it in favor of some new organizing principle more attractive to current audiences.

That is: there are geological layers of taleb based entirely in reader-response. He can't make his subject matter audience-invariant, because how it plays determines its significance to him: it's a feedback loop of bullshit by design. Right now all his acolytes can manage to sputter forth is acronymized slogans like SITG (skin in the game), so that's what he plays up. Formerly it was stuff like antifragility, etc. It just keeps devolving.

> Kanji are not commonly used for any of those words.

Forgive me if it seemed as though I was talking about usage ratios; I was merely saying that it's not uncommon to see them written in the kanji stylized form; in the case of konpeito, however, the kanji is by far the most common form (probably because the character semantics fit well). 天 also literally means tempura in a variety of derivative words.

But mostly I was just getting at how fundamentally integrated portuguese loanwords are in Japanese in general. shabon-dama (bubbles), kappa (raincoat), kabocha (pumpkin), and other's. Juban (a traditional undergarment) is probably the most surprising.

Equating temporary and removable birth control with "castration" is ludicrous.
Not that they lose money (they hardly give you anything besides the right to shop at the store) but that they cause people to buy more than they otherwise would because they feel like they've made an investment and would otherwise be wasting the money they spent on the membership.

Edit for Detardo below:

Ah, but you are confused about why people provide examples to establish a point! Allow me.to educate you!

Person A: This country does <insert policy> and it doesn't work/I don't like it!

Person B: Ahh, but this other country does <insert other policy> and it works based upon my arbitrary metrics!

In the above dialogue, Person B is providing that example as an implicit directive for this country to match the other.

I have read that sexual activity among teens in Europe and the US is about the same, but teen pregnancy rates are higher in the US due to reluctance to use birth or less ability to access birth control. Girls who take the pill in the US are "sluts" because they planned it. Girls who are swept away with emotion are in the clear morally because it is "love." The US also has a lot of hangups about abortion and barriers to accessing it.

There are social settings where "good girls":

A) Do not use birth control, especially if they are unmarried.

B) Serve the sexual needs of their man.

C) Do not get abortions because it is baby murder.

Etc. Ad nauseum.

It is a recipe for disaster for the girl and there is no socially acceptable escape from it -- unless some " asshole" male authority figure kindly gives you an out where you can say "Look, ma, I took the deal to come home to my kid 30 days early. I am trying to be a good parent here. Not my fault the judge is an asshole."

Good authority figures accept that doing the right thing means taking the blame for it when people don't like it. It is part of the job.

California Constitution, Title X, section 4.
I think the problem is the person at the center of the debate is not good with words.

He at times simultaneously says that he merely introduces the possibility that biological differences cause genders to choose different roles, and that biological differences cause less women to enter tech and leadership roles.

One statement sounds like unestablished scientific fact, and the other sounds like it's already been established.

Note that this is exactly what Trump does, and the more he speaks, the more people he activates on both sides of the debate.

Scientifically speaking, this feels pretty disingenuous. On the other hand, if you previously felt apathy was a problem in democracy, perhaps this is a cure.
What Does “Company Culture” Actually Mean?
Vegetables are absolutely delicious when fresh and cooked properly however many children grow up eating overcooked vegetables that come from a freezerburned bag that has been sitting in the freezer for months or from similarly aged cans.

So yes, it is definitely partially due to poor cooking but it also can come from generally low quality of vegetables. This is unfortunately very common in the US. The same unfortunately is applicable to fish for a lot of people.

You are correct as I meant to say we averaged 5-7 hours the last week. And yes you can live on very little sleep when you have a sleeping disorder and take Adderall XR, Adderall and Provigil for said disorder. On average I sleep no more than 3-4 hrs a night; however every month to 6 weeks I will sleep 14-16 hrs straight but have to come off meds for a few days in order to allow sleep issues to prevail. I have had bizarre sleeping patterns since I was a kid and have been taking meds since I was 16.

Technically, this also comes under Mail Fraud which is a federal crime[1].

As it happens, there is currently an article near the top of the HN list concerning a buyer on Amazon who was scammed, but cannot convince Amazon of that fact [1]

As a programmer, imagine the complexity of the smart contract required to make this sort of transaction work when things go smoothly (including getting information about what has happened in the physical world.) Now imagine proofing it against this scam. Now imagine proofing it against scams in general, including ones you have not thought of yet...

Either you are going to spend a lot of time verifying the contracts you participate in, or you are going to take someone's word for it that it is OK.

The title here on HN is not especially helpful in understanding what the article is about, since it leaves out that it's a) about Fahrenheit 451 and b) said by Bradbury. Maybe replace it with the title of the article "Ray Bradbury Reveals the True Meaning of Fahrenheit 451."
But that doesn't make ATM's or the blockchain any less useful. The technology is still sound in both cases. But anything built by humans (I suppose machines too?) has the potential to be flawed, especially software.
The beauty of git and similar DVCS's is that you essentially can't lose the repository. You can only lose the github namespace for that repository. And using a different platform has the same effect. If you are worried about losing the Github namespace for the repository then moving to a different platform doesn't seem like a solution.
Yes. There are widely-used rail systems in the majority of the cities with the worst traffic. If you reframe the question to how far you can get by any transit mode, the result looks very different in Seattle, which has some of the worst transit outcomes in the country, compared to NYC, which is not bad.

> Please quote Damore (or me) otherwise; I can't find reference to "settled matter" you put in quotation marks.

Let me break it down for you, because it seems like the inference chain is escaping you:

- The moment he starts suggesting "things we can do to fix this", it's clear that there's a problem. I mean, why suggest fixes if nothing's broken? (Engineering 101)

- What's the problem? Apparently, trying to reach a 50/50 gender parity is discriminatory. But wait a minute, that's about the split in population, so how can that be discriminatory?

- There has to be something that Damore knows that we don't know that explains why 50/50 is wrong. Turns out, Damore has solid evidence that women are not willing to participate in engineering at the same rate as men are. Never mind that only 70 years ago women couldn't even participate in the workforce, or that all the way until double-income families became necessary they were actively discouraged to participate in the workforce. Never mind that only about 30 years ago the US started programs to encourage women to participate in STEM careers. I mean, all those things wouldn't explain the disparity, so there has to be something else.

- Well, of course! It's the genes! I mean, we know (from his memo) that women are just not interested in "things" but "people" (conclusion derived by a study that has been debunked and even the author couldn't replicate) and that they "get more anxious". You know girls, they freak out and stuff! Of course that'd explain why they feel anxious in a job where they are literally surrounded by males. Nothing to do with things like "beer thirty" being the norm, but rather it's their genes. D'oh!

So that's the crux of it: Damore admits that there's social issues, but rather than addressing them and seeing if the disparity fixes itself, he'd rather call the efforts "discrimination" without any proof that actually they are affecting males. He could've made a solid argument (and one that wouldn't have gotten him fired) if he had asked, honestly, whether creating different queues for minority candidates isn't in itself a form of discrimination. Laying out his theory about women being "different" is where he went against Google's Code of Conduct. That kind of shit is better left for r/theredpill, not your work environment where you have to interact with women.

I hate reminding you, but this kind of "biological arguments" were made about black people until very recently. Going back to your "metaphor" about segregation: Damore is not Rosa Parks, he's the driver trying to tell us that "why should we let black people sit at the front of the bus, when they seem pretty happy in the backseats."

OK, why not circumvent the "argue in front of a judge" aspect? Instead of a list hosted on GitHub, put it on some server that's very hard to take down, leased anonymously.

What I tell people: Absent an effective countervailing strategy, bullying works.

At its simplest level, if "the bully is only hurting themself" and similar ineffective (I'd argue, actively counter-productive) messaging were actually true, then why is bullying such a pervasive, ingrained, and persistent characteristic of our social interactions and societies?

It works! Unless you actually stop it.

Until we teach our kids this and train them in how to deal with the situation effectively, and unless as older kids and adults we actively engage ourselves in the social milieus where this is taking place, the strategy is going to have unhindered success and continue.

Bullying is never going to go away or be eradicated. (Look at its presence in many other species aside from our own.) But we can be honest about it and about this, teach our kids and where necessary contemporaries how to deal with it, lend support in dealing with it, and keep base-level aggression from warping lives and quelling the valuable contributions others have to offer.

Is society a "zero sum game"? Or does fostering a more positive environment grow the pie for all of us?

This is actually a topic that economics appears to be beginning to grapple with (e.g. the newish "Evonomics"). Are unfettered capitalism and unbridled inequality the route to the greatest growth, or does a greater, flatter sharing of resources produce the better overall outcome? Economists are starting to see and acknowledge evidence of the latter.

P.S. On a personal note, I experienced some pretty bad and persistent bullying, particularly in middle school. At least one of the most senior teachers observed it directly and did nothing about it. In fact, no one ever taught me anything about how to deal with it. I still carry those scars.

Bullying works. Unless you act to prevent this.
