"forgive these men their outrageously outdated and somewhat dehumanizing viewpoints and calmly explain to them that currently they are benefitting from a system called patriarchy that has normalized male dominance" doesn't sound like you're open to a debate, it sounds like you are highly certain that your opinion is correct, full stop.

AirDrop uses a combination of Bluetooth (for discovery) and Wi-Fi for file transfers. AirDrop's software and hardware is so coupled together that you couldn't use AirDrop on older Macs and iPads.

Feem doesn't use Bluetooth. It only needs a LAN (wireless or cable). Discovery is initiated as soon as both devices are in the same Wi-Fi (LAN) network. Doesn't matter how you obtain your LAN (router, mobile hotspot, Wi-Fi Direct for devices that support it, ...). This approach helped us support as many devices as possible.

For questions regarding Feem, you can find my email in my profile.

Blue Apron needs to be a service offered by local grocery stores. You pick up (or sure, are delivered) one of many boxes that grocery stores assemble from their local inventory. There's 10 or so different options, always readily available, with a full meal of supplies and instructions inside.

The objective is to show you that, "hey, cooking great stuff is within your realm of capability! It's fun and empowering. You don't have to be like Waterluvian over there who walks past all the produce and butcher every time because he has no clue how to make something of it all." After meal 10 or whatever, that's it, there's no more, you've graduated the "Get a Taste of Cooking" program. Now you move on to more traditional grocery shopping with your new added confidence and practice that will ideally see you buying more produce and fewer frozen dishes.
So, make of this what you will, but I do research on psychological measurement.

Also, I have no idea what Goldman is planning to use, so there's that.

However, all of the arguments you're making about bias, etc. could be leveled against everything that goes into a hiring decision--absolutely everything. Education, interviewing style, skills with regard to social norms in a certain setting, everything. Notice, for example, in the article that Goldman has started to consider people from non-ivies, as if it should be some revelation that there are competent individuals from non-ivy schools. It's hypocritical to be argue about personality test bias when the bias due to those other procedures dwarfs that.

The advantage of personality tests is that they're standardized, so you can quantify the bias. This is routine. You can argue about how to quantify it, but there are solid methods for doing so, and it's better than just going with your gut.

As for people mentioning previous use of personality tests: the Myers-Briggs does suck. It's why no one studying individual differences scientifically has paid attention to it for decades. If Goldman comes out using the Myers-Briggs, then complain about that. But complaining about personality tests "because Myers-Briggs" is like saying the internet shouldn't be trusted because "ActiveX on Windows 95."

About reliability: yes, there's issues about reliability, but the reliability of interviews is even worse. There are some people who make solid arguments that you shouldn't even do an interview because they have such little validity in predicting anything above and beyond what's discernable from resumes, history, and test scores.

The one argument you might make about these tests that has some weight is their "fakability." This is their Achilles heel admittedly, although the issue is more complex than it seems because people aren't as good at faking as they think they are, and it's unclear the faking is any easier than on an interview.

One reason why you're seeing increased interest in personality tests now is because of methods that have been developed for counteracting faking. There's been a lot of movement in this area over the last 10-15 years or so, and there's more ways of handling it than there used to. So, for example, in addition to quantifying a faking "style", which you could do before but was of unclear utility, now you can administer items that are controlled for social desirability but measure other dimensions (for example, have people choose between three scenarios that have been shown to be of equal apparent desirability but differ in their level of some other trait).

To be honest, expect a lot more of this. Big IO and testing corporations have been putting a crapton of money into this area and a lot of companies are showing a lot of interest in it, as they're complaining that intellectual ability and "job skills" (e.g., knowledge of algorithms) isn't really the main issues they have with employee performance--the problem is this other stuff, like emotional stability, social skills, etc.

One thing not specified in the article (unless I missed something)...is this permanent hearing loss, or temporary?
No, I got exactly what you wrote. I don't buy it, and I incredibly do not buy this bunk idea that the disagreements are entirely superficial. To those millions who would have lost health coverage under the GOP plan, do you think that difference was "entirely superficial"? To the transgender people who are having their ability to exist in public spaces assaulted by the GOP, do you think those differences are "entirely superficial"? To the masses of people being deported solely for committing the crime of wanting a better life for them and their family, do you think the differences are "entirely superficial"?

And saying that people who disagree with you just "don't know what they're talking about" is incredibly intellectually lazy.
If third parties can't or won't settle accounts they can involve lawyers or regulators, the very people that some of the "code-as-contract" evangelists were arguing could be [largely] eliminated.

The point is that the blockchain makes little difference to a third party's ability to not honour most real goods and services contracts, and ascribing too much authority to its records can even reinforce their lie about paying you, because that's what the tamper proof record of the aluminium-filled warehouse says they did.

That's underestimating his common sense:

- The guy just maximized his chances of being hired at a company that selects for skills, hereby surrounding himself with the most competent.

- He was obviously discriminated at Google (otherwise he wouldn't discuss diversity), so Google had already destroyed his career. That's the problem with discrimination: Victims have nothing to lose.

- He just became the leader for millions of males who are currently struggling with discrimination.
I'm glad that these donors are funding Techdirt's defense... in the same way that I'm glad Peter Thiel backed Hogan against Gawker.

If two parties go to court over a dispute, there should be equal "firepower" on both sides so justice can be served. Gawker lost the Hogan suit because Thiel's funding allowed that suit to be brought in the first place. Thus, arguments that Thiel's funding was "unfair" equates to logic that Hogan shouldn't have won because he shouldn't have been "allowed" to seek justice in the first place.

The same argument follows here. Threatening a suit that the defendant is not "allowed" to defend (because they can't afford it) is the real injustice.

This is still a band-aid on the real problem: that economic inequality can buy justice.
When I make a recipe I like, I've gotten in the habit of rewriting it with consideration for minimizing time and dishes preparing. Like, if I know the meat has to brown for a few minutes before adding garlic+ginger+peppers, I'll say to start browning meat, then chop g+g+p together. Or if I know vinegar needs to be used in three different mixes, I'll start a bowl of each mix at the time vinegar is first needed so I only need to worry about it once.

It's good to write this yourself since you work it into your head...and also because such instructions could appear a bit batshit if you didn't write them!

I also cleanly distinguish the "shopping list" part of the recipe (which has it's own standard structure organized by pantry, fresh, spices, and unique ingredients) and the "cooking" part, which provides measurements in the cooking text without needing to refer to the ingredient list. It's a small thing, but I really hate scanning ingredient lists every time I need a measurement in the middle of cooking.

That's true my comment was partly serious and a bit facetious. And I don't think it's surprising that these are the results. We've known for decades smoking cigarettes of any kind are bad and caused hypertension. It's a major reason I quit smoking combustibles like cigarettes. It definitely has the potential to be harmful.
Performant Web Animations and Interactions: Achieving 60 FPS
I've been with them for 2+ years and am hooked. We use Green Chef as well for 6 meaks per week.

Everyone complains about the lack of convenience but it saves me mind capacity more than anything and I never have to go to the store. We also like variety in food. Recipes show up, I cook for 30 minutes and we have family meals.

$20/meal to feed three adults and a toddler is a bargain to me as well.

I prefer Blue Apron to others and cringe to think they might make it easier. Note, I could barely cook before and took twice as long. I just use a giant cutting board and a favorite spatula and knife and occasionally use more than one pan. I also overlap things like preheating the pans and chopping while things cook.

We recreate some of the meals but have a hard time getting the quantities to match up. It usually means I have to make a double batch for guests or have leftovers and need to stock the pantry with various sauces and vinegars.

I first thought it was neat. Personal library, like how Streama is a personal Netflix. Then I saw it's another service owned and controlled by someone else.

Don't get me wrong, I don't know you, and im not going to assume bad behavior. But this is a treasure trove of data, and you cannot guarantee that if acquired, another party wouldn't exploit it. If it were local or on a machine I controlled, then I could guarantee data security and privacy.

Enough of my life is on the "cloud" controlled by interests that are different, and sometimes oppositional to mine.

Thank you, but no.
Did anyone read the paper? I tried to, and it's a mess. There isn't nearly enough technical detail there to actually implement this system, and the incentives are so complex that game theory experts could be analyzing it for decades without finding all the potential issues. This is nothing like the Bitcoin white paper, which was very clear and complete.

Vitalik has created Ethereum of course, and he's not asking for investment, so this is better than your garden variety ICO scam. But right now this is more of a wishlist of desired features than a roadmap to implementation.

Because of geometry: cars do not scale well in cities. Only so much land to go around, you want (need, really) people to use more space-efficient modes. Supporting cars is particularly expensive compared to other modes because of how much space cars take to move around and park.

Harmonic drives were once popular for robot arms, because they provide huge gear reductions in a small space. But they're not back-drivable at all - overload one and you break gear teeth. As motor control has improved, the need for huge gear reductions has decreased, and harmonic drives have fallen out of favor in industrial robots.

You should contact AMDs support and let them figure it out with you. From what I hear they treat that issue seriously by now, and if your processor turns out to be faulty they should offer you a RMA.

Though hard freezes not during compilation should be a completely different issue, and it will be an effort to pinpoint the processor as responsible.

I think the big thing this shows is that "Never trust your input data without validation" really means "never" even if the data is something seemingly difficult to tamper with.
It means nothing. The whole quote is pure nonsensical technobabble; headmelted is joking by sarcastically bringing it up as a valid concern.

It's funny because that's an actual quote from Maria Johnsen's article ["Should multilingual websites use HTTPS by default"][1], and the fact that she actually wrote that in a supposedly serious article discussing the merits of HTTPS makes it pretty clear she has no idea what she's talking about when it comes to security.

Thanks for the info! At my last workplace (Apple), the department had brought in a ton of H1B visa workers from body shops and I'm skeptical about if it was legal. They were all crammed elbow-to-elbow in bullpen cubicles. As a contractor at the time, I sat on a bench in the hallway because there were no free bullpen cubes!! The bathroom urinals always had pools of urine beneath them, due (in part) to excessive use. The toilet seats were always urinated on. Oh, good times.

> Maybe crypto skeptics are also a bit worried that perhaps there is something they didn't get.

It's Econ 101 they don't get. It's the origin of money they don't get. With every tulip argument it becomes painfully obvious that "progressives" are economically illiterate. They talk about supply and demand they way conservatives talk about global warming being "only a theory". This Cryptophobia (let the record show I coined the term :P ) is not technologically rooted.

The only thing I want is for productive conversation to occur - but from a technical aspect. Maybe there could be a tab where people argue from an ideological perspective. But the reason I'm frustrated is that literally every crypto thread has the same comments.

Let's just all admit we're not going to convert anyone, and if you don't have constructive inputs to the technology then reconsider commenting.

Is the articles quote unfair then? It explicitly calls out an apparent jump from preferences to abilities in the original. (My emphasis)

>>I’m simply stating that the distribution of preferences and abilities of men and women differ in part due to biological causes and that these differences may explain why we don’t see equal representation of women in tech and leadership. Many of these differences are small and there’s significant overlap between men and women, so you can’t say anything about an individual given these population level distributions.

Ok, this looks like a Jet, to provide thrust. But to me, those parameters look like very poor fuel efficiency.
