Uh, huh. "Charity". AKA corporate tax writeoff.

Nope, parent poster said explicitly "Money from auction goes in pool and split between everyone who doesnt park."

I'd like to see the same kind of idea with moving violations. It's wronging the communities they're cited in; it should go back to us, directly. Not to some enforcement arm that buys MRAPS and shit.
And, of course, there is the freedom to reduce the chances of getting confronted with this issue. Let's see ... How would one do that ... Make sure no women passes any interview. Obstruct women and generally get them out of the team, or at least don't work with them when avoidable.

Why ? Because otherwise there WILL be instances, on occasion, where gender either is, or is simply perceived to be the basis for decisions. Since in both those instances you can get fired for simply getting into that situation, one must avoid getting into that situation at all.

So we'll see what we see in every other company now also at Google. No mixed teams. Male teams being terrified (or even having an unofficial policy of not having women, or only in specific roles or teams or otherwise separate), and have a few women-only departments, like sales or HR to pretend to make the quota.

We all know this is how Directors and VPs and the like think, we just don't say it. And (really quiet now) it is probably the correct way to maximize your career advancement.

Once you use force, all reasoned debate is over. Google engineering, I hope you enjoyed actually having women, because you'll miss them in the future ... And for Google HR, or perhaps legal or some such, I pity the men working there.

This is what people mean by "using force causes radicalization". Well, force was used. Expect strong reactions going forward.
So diversity impedes political organization of the people, and transfers power to the ruling class?

One mistake that (easily) gets made is thinking science is a product, a body of knowledge. Science is a process, that (through repeated application) can take a body of knowledge, and improve it's depth and accuracy.

You want to get close to "the full truth, and all the truth"? It'll take asymptotically more man-hours.

At any point, there will be gaps and mistakes; but the nice thing about the process of "science" is that it's an algorithm, and exists as part of the body of knowledge it's acting on. So it can itself be improved, using it's own rules.

That's the difference between a process, and a static set of facts, when even it the core tenets permit for the possibility of mistakes, and allow for their own replacement.
Thank you for the links. I don't think they are as convincing as you make them out to be (the second does not even talk about women specifically), but I don't have the time to discuss it further in all detail.

Harassment is bad, but I don't think "unwanted sexual advances" should categorically count as harassment. It all depends (of course some advances can be harassment, but just because some attraction is unrequited it is not harassment) - it is human to be attracted and fall in love.

Whenever you have a discussion about a topic in which people feel personally invested, their reasoning skills drop and their sentiment analysis ability goes up.
To be clear, a private company in the US cannot stop you from discussing anything at work but reserves the right to fire you at will, including for discussions it deems unproductive. Discussing politics in polite company in the US is indeed discouraged by culture. I personally think that's a good thing as people on opposite sides of the spectrum often can't agree on a basic set of facts, which makes discussions pointless. Do supporters of far right parties in Scandinavian countries often discuss politics with supporters of left wing parties at dinner ?

Women marrying up is historically the biggest driver of equality in Western societies (poor people becoming richer). Economist have identified it as a problem because as women get richer and they don't want to marry down, that mechanism for "equality" is increasingly lost.

So there have been studies about this phenomenon (women not wanting to marry down), but I am too lazy to Google for them.

Also, financial troubles of the husband are the strongest indicator for impeding divorce. And breakups are usually initiated by women.

Every time this comes up I wonder if I should launch a dating site for rich women seeking a "houseman" for a partner. But somehow I am still not convinced yet that there is really such a huge market.
True. Some people may find that as a deal-breaker. Personally, with the age of web-UI's (that look very different from each other and certainly don't look like the native widgets), I don't see QtQuick's native-styled-but-non-native widgets a problem (and the OpenGL-based system has proven to be really great for performant animation).

But I can see that if you require platform-native widgets, QtQuick is probably not an option. I just think that most people don't need this ;-)

> If you have an intermediary node (you call it a hub), there is no requirement for it to close its channel with the merchant, once you close your channel with that intermediary node.

As far as I can see, merchants receiving payments over payment channels is unrealistic, because it requires:

1) the merchant to predict what its revenue will be this week/month

2) the merchant (or someone else) to lock up this entire amount for the revenue period (week/month)

So, if a merchant wants to receive payments over a payment channel, the effective supply of BTC is halved, because 1 BTC needs to be deposited in the merchant’s payment channel for every 1 BTC a customer sends.

Most merchants simply don’t have that kind of capital and, even if they did, they wouldn’t be able to compete on price with other merchants who don’t demand trustless payments (merchants receiving payments over payment channels need to adjust their prices to account for the fact that they need to borrow a week/month’s worth of revenue, and have it sit idle in a payment channel). It’s very poor use of a scarce resource (bitcoins).
This was arguably the golden age of German culture. Even if Kant just passed away, you had philosophers such as Hegel in Berlin, Fichte, Schelling living at the same time and the younger Schopenhauer actually meeting with Goethe, although that did not turn out well. At that time, Romanticism was taking off in Germany, after the Weimarer Klassik around Goethe, Schiller and people such as Herder and Wieland was coming to an end. Goethe had a reputation of protecting his status and suppressing other talented artists. It should also be said that Beethoven's ninth uses text from the Ode to Joy, from Schiller, who was a friend of Goethe and one of the few he might have seen as equals. Overall, a giant, intricate network of historical figures.

Despite Proven Technology, Attempts to Make Table Saws Safer Drag On
After reading this ruling and the original district court ruling [1], this article seems to be sensationalized clickbait.

The Eighth Circuit didn't offer any opinion on the Constitutional questions (citing Rule 47B, affirmation without opinion), probably because they were irrelevant to the case. Akins wasn't arrested for filming police, in fact, according to the district court ruling, the police affirmed his right to film more than once.

Akins complained about several incidents of alleged police harassment and the district court ruled that the police acted reasonably. According to the District Court, his complaints and the court's ruling thereon included:

he was arrested for marijuana possession at a DUI checkpoint ("Akins admitted in deposition that the material may have been his marijuana."). During the arrest, a concealed, loaded gun was found in a holster under his shirt ("Akins said he did not [have a concealed carry permit] and that his attorney told him he did not need one to carry a gun in the car.");

he was handcuffed on the side of the road while an officer searched his car without permission, after he admitted he had a rifle in the back, while a weapons charge was pending against him;

he was pulled over by police and asked for ID ("The interaction
lasted less than two minutes.")

he was arrested for driving without a license or proof of insurance, and for carrying a butterfly knife (which are apparently illegal in Missouri).

Still, culture operates on a "hubs and authorities" basis -- there are people whose job it is to be hubs (curators, publishers, music programmers and promoters) and people who become known for their genius ("authorities").

The interdisciplinary issue is interesting. There's probably enough of it happening to offset fragmentation of culture into specialisations.

Who is your target market?

I have used both personal VPS hosted and commercial VPN systems at various times (I currently use a commercial VPN to anonymize some traffic sometimes and bypass national-level censorship).

In my understanding of the various pros and cons of those two options, I'm not sure I grasp the core value proposition that this offers. Why do I want:
A) A server with fewer (one) unique user(s), and therefore traffic that is much easier to analyse;
B) A service with a single static IP and geolocation; but which
C) I am trusting a third party to administer.

I seem to be seeing a service which offers me the biggest drawbacks of both sides. Am I missing something?
Only if you include state rates, which is.. disingenuous at best. It's at least as wrong as saying the US has very low tax rates. If you're talking about expatriation, the IRS, etc, you're only talking about Federal rates. Short of outlawing income tax the Federal government has very little power over dictating state tax rates.

At the Federal level personal taxation is not terrible but it's not low, either. The US has the second higher corporate income tax in the world according to that same chart, and the highest depending on your state of incorporation/operation (if you include state/local).

> Does Lazarus/Delphi fare better with accessibility and JAWS support specifically?

For this particular issue, yes, because Lazarus uses Win32 for Windows applications. For Linux it uses GTK2 (can also use Qt instead) which AFAIK has good accessibility support. For Mac OS X it uses Carbon (there is a Cocoa backend but it is still in prealpha) so... it depends on how accessible Carbon apps are i suppose.

I don't think there is any special support for accessibility however, it is all about what the underlying widgets provide out of the box.
Yes, I've developed a full-featured BitTorrent library in Java: https://github.com/atomashpolskiy/bt/blob/master/README.md#-... . It was very warmly received by HN folks

It was VERY surprising for me to find out that one of the most popular programming languages offers little variety in terms of BT libs/clients. For a long time, if one needed advanced options like DHT or protocol encryption, his only choice would be jlibtorrent (JNI wrapper for the well-known C++ library). Well, not anymore :)
Let's be clear, I'm not advocating for the rejection of promising junior candidates with the intellectual curiosity to learn how to do things. I think more companies need to hire such people, and I've strongly advocated for hiring them at my jobs (with mixed results).

But that doesn't imply that an organization or manager's job is to teach everyone everything. There exist non-junior roles, and very often there are people who are mishires for a senior role but great hires for a junior one, or mishires for a certain company but great hires for another one, etc. Sometimes what you're looking for is a senior engineer, and saying "This person isn't senior, they're not right for this role" isn't a failing of management or of the organization.

Damore was a senior engineer (L5) at Google, which is definitely not a junior role (it's the first level where they don't expect you to be getting promoted within 1-2 years, IIRC).

(Let's also be clear, everything I've said about dealing with mishires promptly also applies to mishires in management or mis-promotions into management. There are a lot of people in management who have no business there, and should get either a promotion to a highly-ranked IC role or a generous severance so they can find one elsewhere, before they do more harm to their team.)

> in order to be able to send messages to others, you would also need to set up SPF and DKIM on your MX to ensure deliverability to other servers

This is actually quite trivial nowadays. I did hear that setting up and configuring mail servers was difficult with Postfix and Sendmail but I personally had no problem setting up qmail and opensmtpd.

> For NNTP, on the other hand, you would either have to use Google groups, or one of the free Usenet providers. If you set up your own news server (which would make this option truly decentralized), then you would also need to enter into a peer arrangement with several other usenet providers in order to have your articles distributed on usenet.

Not everything really needs to have its articles on the usenet. There are many NNTP networks that do not have that.
What is unnerving about it exactly? It seems to me that's exactly the type of thing you'd want from a company who focuses on privacy. It gives the appearance that they actually, truly care about privacy and aren't just in it for the money (and I have no idea if that's actually true or not).

"Watch as two exciting moments align: the Great American Solar Eclipse and the unveiling of Intel’s most powerful family of processors..."

Given the choice between watching an Intel CPU announcement and going outside to watch the eclipse, I'm choosing the eclipse. I know the eclipse doesn't start until 9am PDT, but these things tend to drag on and I'm going to be outside. This is the height of Intel's arrogance thinking they could compete with the forces of nature.

Or maybe they know that this will be a lackluster announcement and are setting up their excuse, "we would have had a higher view count on Facebook but we were up against a once in a lifetime event."
Beethoven would be making techno

Why? Given that making techno, or modern pop music in general, is basically trivial. Just spin up Ableton, press a few buttons ... boom, 10 minutes later you've got a competitive techno-track that doesn't sound all that different (apart from mastering maybe) from what's being played in the clubs. There is no art left in pop-music -- trivial and generic.

A genius would be horrified by the trivial repitition of the same that is modern pop-music.

This statement is wrong. SC1 has admittedly less tech-tree depth & strategic approaches than SC2 does (purely because of lower number of different units/upgrades), but there are innumerable variations that are imperceivable to the lay observer.

I'll go on a limb to say that SC1 has more refined rock-paper-scissors system than SC2 ever had (taboo to speak of on reddit).
