Anecdotally : three years ago very little interest in my startup. now we've been in the black almost the whole time and are opening our first round. Was told I HAD to do a SAFE or Convertible but are shopping a priced seed round w/o a 409a and have interest over our goal.

Some of these other "fails" have been nothing but a blessing when you already have revenue and a solid growth history and projection.

Basically not huge but still a 5x bet and raising is/was easier than my previous company
Sorry, but that's total bullshit. The promotion of mental health stretches only to those with mostly-good mental health. A true focus on mental health is severely deprioritized in the workplace for legitimate mental health problems. Which, go figure - only makes mental health issues even worse.
The idea of "meaning" is synonymous with agreement. Individual words "mean" things because we agree on the mapping. "Subjective, individual meaning" seems to just refer to personal thoughts and interpretation. It's fine to have personal thoughts, but "the author's meaning" is what they ultimately attempted to make others think is the message within the work. So to make comparisons between properties of the author's meaning and personal "meanings" is comparing apples to oranges, no?
For people who are going to pay for a fancy new roof anyway, the solar is almost free.

For people who were going to pay for a regular roof anyway, the tesla solar roof is still very expensive compared to a regular roof + regular panels

This was my take on it when pricing things in Austin, Texas.

For people who don't need a new roof at all, tesla solar roof is nonsensical.
The bike and pedestrian improvements are huge. The old bridge had no shoulders (death trap to ride) and one ~3' sidewalk on the North side that was shared between pedestrians and bikes heading West and East.

Edit to add photo...

You can see the old span alongside the new bridge here:

Except Dota is not balanced so that heroes have the same win rate (LOL does that and it's a boring uneventful game for large stretches of time). Dota is balanced also taking into account the map, hero synergies, item builds, match progression etc, and it takes a genius like Icefrog to make everything fun and interesting at the same time.

It pulled some interesting tactical moves that I was keeping an eye out for.

- In game 1, when the AI triggers his flask of health regen (which gets dispelled if you take hero damage) it zones Dendi out knowing he's going to come in for an attempt to dispel his regen. It does this with lots of non-committal, pre-emptive shadowrazes. It doesn't do this any other time. It's aggressively predicting what Dendi may favor based on its own cirucmstances.

- In game 2, Dendi said he was going to try letting one creep ahead and see if it would give him a lane advantage. [very technical DOTA mechanics] What this does is if the opponent creep blocks better than you, their creep wave strikes your overextending creep without taking any damage, under their tower, thus significantly weakening your creep wave, making the tug of war swing very heavily in your favor. You counter this by also letting one of your creeps out ahead as soon as you realize it. The AI that was perfectly blocking all the way till the creeps met up in G1, as soon as it saw the leading creep let one of its creeps forward. A perfect response that is highly unlikely to have been coached but determined as the best choice to, what I'm guessing is to return the game to a familiar state.

- The bot cornered Dendi between some trees and his tower, and then with 0 fakeouts/hesitation shadowrazed him. It was not just a matter of knowing the target was in range, but also accounting for the probability that he could dodge it. Not 100% certain about the mechanics here, but I believe: Shadowraze has a ~.2s cast animation. It can be canceled during the first .1s (fake out), but after that it is committed to, you will complete the animation, spend the mana, and cast the spell. If the cast crosses this window and the opponent is capable of moving the short distance needed to dodge in this time, it is theoretically not something the AI can guarantee on pure mechanical skill. So cornering is an approach advanced players use to reduce the probability and room for dodging a skillshot, and I found it taking instant advantage of that opportunity very impressive.

Besides the obvious mechanical precision of a bot once it's made a decision, the other inhuman factor here is what Dendi mentions, that it has zero hesitation to take advantage of even the smallest opening it has available. A pro human who is even instantly aware of an opportunity, no matter how theoretically certain they are that they should take it, hesitates at least a little bit to think "is there a trap? Am I not considering something?"

Hesitation is an incredibly human trait.

Would have been a different story and probably had a better chance if would have started at 20. You'll find kids in high school and younger that have 2 handicaps, alot of physical abilities but less mental aspects for the game.

Steph Curry (basketball star) carries a 2 handicap so just having athletic talent can really make a difference, give him <2000 hours of practice and I'd bet he could play on the web.com tour.
In reporting a website for using my intellectual property, Cloudflare forwarded all of my personal information (which was necessary to give) to the abuser in question. Funny enough, I had explicitly mentioned that these individuals had been harassing me in more ways than just by stealing my property without proper attribution. And yet they still gave my information to the abusive party. What followed was a series of even worse harassment, including (but not limited to) prank calls, deliveries, and a SWATing.

Unfortunately, avoiding bad things isn't always the case, nor the solution. You would figure a site such as the one mentioned would be a bit more protective.

> Do you have no understanding of what discrimination is? Discrimination is perpetuated by those who hold power - it is completely and directly proportional to dominance - those who do not hold power cannot discriminate.

If you take that as axiomatic then there is no debate here if we insist on using the term discrimination to discuss this problem. However, if one can arbitrarily redefine words to mean whatever one so chooses them to mean and, in so doing, believe they're redefining what their interlocutor is espousing, then that individual is being truly intellectually dishonest.

Academically, of what discrimination consists and how discrimination is defined, as a word and concept, is still of great debate. Google around for morally relevant differences and discrimination for some sources and further reading. The Stanford Encyclopedia entry on discrimination is a good starting place.

However, in general common usage, the word discrimination is defined as:

> treating a person or particular group of people differently, especially in a worse way from the way in which you treat other people, because of their skin colour, sex, sexuality, etc.

http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/discrimin...

> a : the act, practice, or an instance of discriminating categorically rather than individually
b : prejudiced or prejudicial outlook, action, or treatment racial discrimination

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/discrimination

>The unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people, especially on the grounds of race, age, or sex.

https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/discrimination

Note that in common usage the word is not qualified on the power or status of the agent of discrimination.

Unless both one and one's interlocutor have agreed on another definition it is vital to assume good faith and and stick to commonly accepted words and their meanings. If one does not one is at the risk of violating Grice's maxims and, in so doing, losing one's privilege of having others take one's words seriously. Put simply, if it's a new concept, use a new (or qualified) word. A seat at the table is predicated on clear, honest, equivocation-free communication.

I'm sure you're not doing these things purposefully. After all what is the point of advancing a cause if one, through one's actions, prejudices the very people one is trying persuade? It's rather self-defeating.

AMO allows for unlisted add-ons that just get auto-scanned for obvious problems and then signed immediately. That's the preferred method for cases like yours.

Alternatively, you could run Nightly (or an unbranded build[1]) and disable add-on signing, although that opens you up to having _any_ unsigned add-on installed, not just your own.

They said "yes, it does that"/"it's been known to do that", not "it was coached to do that". Just as a "We've seen it do that before."
It's barbaric overkill. It affects other parties far more than the target. It's emblematic of a vicious vindictiveness that is unbecoming of members of a cohesive society. It's simply disgusting to dig into unrelated matters over a relatively petty dispute. It shows no sense of proportionality, charity, or kindness. It is ultimately counterproductive to the creation of the kind of world we all ought to be creating for our mutual benefit.

All Microsoft products after 2010 are worst offenders. The nice Office 2010 and Windows 7 and beautiful high res icons and very nice color schemes - gone. I cannot stand the Win8/10 and Office 2016 bland look and mix of legacy icons botched with a Photoshop filter to make them grayscale and new boring grayscale icons. Everything looks white and grayish, some parts of the window can be dragged around, some are click-able ...but one only knows by try-and-error. Well I reverted back to Win7 & Office 2010 - so much more pleasing to my eyes.
If you're buying eBay is great. If you're the seller however, it's an entirely different story. eBay heavily, heavily, heavily favors the buyer in almost all disputes -- so much so that at times it seems as if it's automatic to the buyer's favor. I guess that's how they get people to spend money on the platform, and of course take their cut of the transaction.

There are tons and tons of seller horror stories, especially with buyers from Asian countries. They will buy an iPhone or something, pay for it, then request a return/refund from the seller but they send back a box of scrap. Even if you don't manually refund their money, they will dispute it, and eBay just sees the return tracking # as 'delivered' and gives them their money back. It really doesn't matter how much you protest, eBay pretty much always sides with the buyer.

You still haven't answered if you find their recidivism rates a problem. It's perfectly fine if your are of the opinion that their system will not work outside their set of circumstances, but you've stated that you find their sentencing appalling without ever commenting on how you view their results.

If you don't care about results, and only about the morality of their choices then state that
They could stop selling fakes. Or at least stop co-mingling their own inventory with unverified inventory sent to them by 3rd parties, so that it's even logistically possible for them to know what they are selling.
That's actually not 1.5, that's 1 that you just described. There is no option 1 that isn't co-mingled with inventory of unknown authenticity that (unless it happens to be an item that's never had inventory sent in by a 3rd party, but you have no way of knowing that).
First of all, I acknowledge that Damore premises his argument on populations and distributions. My example here was to point out that he jumps into assertions that make no specific reference to populations. In his criticism of Google's initiative to teach coding to females (students, employees), Damore says:

> "Unfortunately, there maybe limits to how people-oriented certain roles at Google can be and we shouldn't deceive ourselves or students into thinking otherwise (some of our programs to get female students into coding might be doing this)."

How does population distributions apply here? Is Google attempting to push coding (and at what sophistication) onto far more women than is statistically sound? I had heard that Google had such classes, but that their enrollment was self-selecting and seemingly not at a scale that included the majority of girls/women. So what is the delusionary practice that Damore refers to?

I'm genuinely interested in the answers to these specific (albeit) minor questions. But I brought this up as one aggravating example of how open, intellectually honest discussion is difficult when the claims are unspecific and unsupported.

Something that I think they missed (or else I missed) is that going from downtown LA westbound in the evening rush hour isn't the worst one - it's going east from the west side. Living west and working east is practically reverse-commuting on the 10.

The west side in particular is basically the land of "rush hour never ends" to an unbelievable extent compared to my experiences in the Bay Area, Seattle, Atlanta, and Austin (all which have plenty of people stuck with terrible commutes) - it's just a different magnitude of practically-never-ending-pain on every possible route.
I've been in the exact same situation, to a point where it could be me writing the same thing.

Before you judge anyone, get a proper diagnosis. Arrange for one-on-ones with every member of the team, even the ones who have recently quit if you can.

Get them to honestly talk about their opinions. Especially on why they keep failing at their tasks. Make them comfortable, i.e. nobody is getting fired and you're just trying to fix things. Be open and honest with them. There are problems and you'd like their advice on how to handle them.

If everyone says everything is fine, get the hell out.

Otherwise, you should find a few patterns, and this should at least give you a few angles to move on.

> disable JS and images

> They're all the same thing. I'm deciding how I want to consume content; I'm not circumventing a access control mechanism.

I guess the difference I am trying to highlight is:

* a lack of ads for hard technical and/or compatibility reasons (JS not enabled, images not enabled, graphics subsystems not existing, not having sufficient eyesight, etc.), versus

* a lack of ads because screw you.

This line in the sand may be stupid, but I'm afraid it's not "the same thing." I'm afraid this difference could be argued successfully in court, and that is my point.

Not always. The whole system of Indian cooking exists to deliver dishes that can utilise non-fresh or dried ingredients and stabilize them for long hours in Indian summer conditions.

That is why our system of cooking revolves around spices which both disguise the fact that the vegetables are not fresh as well as act as natural preservatives.

The best cuisine to utilise frozen vegetables is Indian - I do not know of any other cuisine that will pass them off as edible.
For someone whose never heard of him, what did Peter Singer do to earn your admiration?
Really cool (full disclosure - my advisor was Bertsimas's PhD advisor)! School bus optimization is slightly different from UPS/DHL/last mile logistics routing because you only solve the problem once or twice a semester and make small changes as and when kids change schools etc. From a business point of view there really aren't any off the shelf products that do this well plus its tough selling to school districts. Ping me if this interests you.

> Debating this memo is like debating about crime statistics every time a black person gets shot by the cops. There are people that understand the role social forces play in inequality, and there are those that don't know and don't want to know.

If I understood you correctly:

fewer women in tech -> sexism

black man getting shot by police -> racism

If these are true then:

fewer women in jail -> ????

white women getting shot by black policemen -> ????

You can convince me, if you manage to explain this to me.
You can use a Tesla on the grid, and potentially see quicker ROI, depending on your local per-kW rate.
It's bizarre that from my response you had to get into semantics, which completely misses the point.

It's not about dictionary definitions of words, it's about how discrimination manifests (or how it cannot in the hands of those who don't hold power). Surely we can debate what discrimination means, but there's a plethora of sociological literature on the intersection of that dictionary definition (that you referenced) and how it comes to fruition in the hands of dominant groups. This is obviously central to this discussion as it was implied that there was somehow reverse discrimination against men.

Please share what you think about that, genuinely curious.

Yes, the article is about Nexplanon, and DMPA (Depo Medroxyprogesterone Acetate) is what's used to chemically castrate men, and to render women temporarily infertile. But nexplanon's active ingredient suppresses the HPG axis [1] too.

My friend is that one-in-10000 who was especially vulnerable to pseudo-hormones. Her doctor didn't appreciate the significance of the main negative symptom she complained about (bleeding continuously for months), and injected her twice more anyways.
