Damore at one point mentioned in passing IQ as also having statistical truths that are taboo to talk about.

I took that as a dog whistle reference to 'The Bell Curve' since that is the most famous treatise for that view and a support of the conclusions that it made.

Or I could be just reading too much into it and extending Damore's thesis into race, too, is unfair.

That's the secret sauce of dog whistles...plausible deniability.
Do I still have to sit through 10 minutes of advertisements and 20 minutes of trailers before the movie starts? Every time they find one way to improve the experience (recliners) they find another way to make it unbearable (the increasing amount of ads and trailers).

If we take a look at the recent spate of articles covering sexism and harassment in the workplace at companies in the field, it is clear that there is a problem.

It's clear as day to everyone that there is a problem. It is not clear that the problem is sexism. In my view, the problem is economic inequality which is ratcheting social pressures up to a fever pitch. Many people see their quality of life slipping away and the intellectual class fighting for their chance to tighten the screws. Social entropy is increasing dramatically and the social contract is in dire peril.
I'd rather have 208V (three phase) for that. Makes it easier to set up a variable frequency drive.
This is neat, but based on the title, I thought this was going to be a bit more informative about _how_ engines work, and how each subprocess contributes toward the end goal.

What I saw instead was a subset of subprocesses in isolation from each other, presented in an admittedly artistic fashion. It's impressive, and maybe the purpose is more to whet one's appetite for more information rather than be informative in itself, but that's not really what I was expecting or hoping for.
Completely agree. I used to live in Florida and we had a drive-in movie theater about a mile from my house. Although it didn't have the "comforts" of an indoor movie theater, the biggest selling point was they showed two new release movies for the much less than the price of a regular ticket. The concession prices were fairly priced, but even better was you could arrive early, bring a cooler, set-up a small grill and make your own food. For sound, you tuned your radio to a channel and could listen in your car. The place was always packed. I found myself going to the movies much more. I moved from there 10 years ago and can count on one hand the number of movies I have seen in a theater. Cost definitely plays a key role in my decision to not go.

That is a fair comment. I would not be surprised if sexism turns out to be a substantial contributor. Not surprised in the least. However, I still don't know that it is the primary reason and certaintly have not seen convincing evidence proving the case. It is a hypothesis even if a well motivated one.
I'm not going to comment about whether Google was following their own policy statement when firing Damore, one way or another.

> it's clear that the text of the memo is unabashedly sexist

Just to be sure, I looked up the definitions:

sexism: "prejudice, stereotyping, or discrimination, typically against women, on the basis of sex"

sterotype: "a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing"

Do these seem like reasonable definitions to you? If so, I wonder if you can take a moment to clearly connect points in the memo to these definitions?

Coffee is full of antioxidants

That is one of my pet peeves. There is no proof that antioxidants are good for humans. Years ago I read an article by a researcher that traced the origin of the idea to... nowhere. There was never any research that indicated they are good for us. It's one of those things that was injected into a news cycle and was picked up and repeated over and over again.

As someone currently in the program and graduating this Spring, I have found this program to be incredibly rewarding. GT has done a fantastic job turning their on-campus courses into an online format. At first I was skeptical, but I have found this program extremely challenging and have learned a great deal. It has been fantastic in my career development as well, allowing me to land a job in ML before I have graduated.

The program does have its hiccups here and there. Some courses have been reported as being poorly organized, but this is certainly the minority. Also, you may not receive as much individual attention as you would in a on-campus program. This is aided by the fantastic community of students in the OMSCS program which provide a support system for each other through online forums/chat. If you are not much of a self-starter and need specific guidance, this program may not be for you.
You need some undergraduate degree, preferentially CS.

You can get it with a non-CS degree + work experience (see sibling threads).

Some schools accept master's students without an undergrad degree at all but AFAIK most don't. This program doesn't.
Except that the incremental cost of someone using a Gym is almost zero. Once you have enough members to cover the rent & employees, it's almost all upside.

MoviePass will pay about $12 each and every time someone sees a movie -- more than the monthly fee any one member is paying.

So every super movie fan watching 10 movies a month requires more than 11 other members paying the monthly fee and then not using their membership at all. Hard to see that math working out.
That's true. But humans can't have it both ways. If you obfuscate the language, you are at risk of someone not understanding it and taking it literally. And then a hypocrisy can be revealed.

In one of the previous discussions, I linked to Charta 77. These guys did the same thing - they took the Czechoslovak government for the word that it respects human rights, because it was a signatory of some human rights agreements. They were persecuted.

The same problem you have with tenure. You are saying professors are protected with tenure, but are they really? Unless someone tests the boundaries, then you don't know if it really protects you. So assuming tenure will protect you is, likewise, a dangerous assumption.

Addendum: I would also like to point out this excellent book: https://www.amazon.com/Mistakes-Were-Made-But-Not/dp/1491514... That's why Google cannot change its mind even if it wanted to, sadly.
Oh yeah that'll be fun, now there is no price barrier to entry so the rude idiots that are in theaters now will simply overrun theaters. Ever go see a $1 movie in a low rate theater? That's where this is headed.

Honest to god I would pay $20/ticket to go sit in a quiet theater with respectful people who like to get lost in movies and know how to act.

I used to go to the movies about twice a month, now I go once every 6 months and about 50% of the time someone is talking or on their phone and I find myself in a confrontation. Ever try to settle back down and enjoy the rest of the movie after you confront someone? Forget it.

Unfortunately I'm sure I'm in the minority and this idea will probably work and I'll have to stick to Art House movie theaters or watch movies at home which is fine I guess.

I remember watching Star Wars in the theater in the 70's. Guess what? People were too engrossed to be rude. Part of the fun was getting swept up in the reaction of other moviegoers.

I hope this is figured out soon, I miss going to the theater!

Something I've wondered about that speech: He said something like "who cares what bathroom people use", and got a cheer. In context it was reasonably obvious to me he was saying "economic issues are important, stop wasting your time on attacking minority groups". But it got a big cheer, and I wonder how many people in the audience were cheering for what I heard, and how many were cheering for the equally plausible interpretation that Democrats should stop worrying about which bathrooms people got to use, and just let the right wing do what it pleased.

I also wonder if it was intentionally ambigous. He could have said "Just let people use the bathrooms they want to" or similar if he wanted to be clear. Was he worried that would go down worse?

If you actually use it, sure. Not unlike a gym membership, you let the aspirational purchasing of some people partially subsidize the cost for the actual user base.

The article mentioned using Parser Combinators as the sweet spot between Hand Written Parsers and Parser Generators.

Another possible sweet spot would using something I call a "Parsing DSL" which is a sort of a cross between a parser combinator and a parser generator.

TLDR:
See the JavaScript Parsing DSL library (Chevrotain) I've authored:
https://github.com/SAP/chevrotain

Details:
A Parsing DSL means using API similar to hand building
a parser but without a-lot of the cruft associated with hand building while enjoying higher level abstractions
from the Parsing DSL library such as:
1. automatic ambiguity detection.
2. lookahead calculation.
3. Grammar diagrams
4. auto-complete.
5. automatic error recovery
6. and more...

Under V8 (Chrome/Node) this is much faster than any other library
tested and even substantially faster than a naive hand built parser.

Oh yeah that dude I recognize him, didn't know he could do crosstalk, that's impressive.
I'm in my 30s. I enjoy movies but don't often go to the movie theater for a number of reasons, but they're all inherent to the ticket cost.

Prices are often $15-$20 for most shows (and that's just plain old 2D) at the theaters local to me. The theater is fantastic though, great seats and it's always clean, but it's still $20 for 2 hours viewing. I only go if there is a movie I really want to watch. In most cases, I use the "I'll wait until I can buy/rent it on iTunes". With the exception of some blockbusters, many movies are available digitally within around 6 months. I can usually wait.

I like the experience of going to the movies. What I don't like is the near $20 ticket. For $10/month, I would absolutely watch many more movies at the theater using MoviePass.

There's a general assumption ITT that movie theaters are going to be swamped with MoviePass subscribers every single day. People who subscribe to HBO don't necessarily watch it every single day (I bet some people subscribe just for one or two shows, that's what I do). Sure, students and those with the time to do that might, but for many people, it's probably just a pass to go do something at the weekend. I would go to the movie theater far more frequently, but at most it'd be once a week and only if there's a movie I'm interested in. There are plenty of days/weeks/months where no movies appeal to me.

Besides, if you're not paying full price for a ticket, you'll be more tempted by the concession stand and their prices.
I personally have pin vise with twisted shaft and sliding collet like this one http://alexnld.com/product/mini-pin-vise-wood-spiral-semi-au....
This is pretty ingenious. Movie theaters don't make money off of the movie, they make it off of the concessions. This lowers the barrier to entry in getting people in the theater. A number of people I know always get popcorn and a drink when they go. They do it every time no matter what time of day. It's just what they do. By lowering the price of admission, they are going to get people to spend more money on concessions by getting them to go to the theater more.

Their kind of protesting is not my cup of tea. Protests can be done in civilised manner. Theirs, at least the ones that make the news, are not. Looking from afar, they're only hurting their cause.

>It's why places like Planet Fitness are able to offer $10/month unlimited memberships.

That model is far different though

For each Planet Fitness, much of the cost is upfront. That is, they have to buy the property, renovate (or build), and then buy all the machines. Yes there are increased maintenance costs as more people join the gym, but cost per user should decrease with each additional membership.

For MoviePass, for each user they have to pay for the price of each movie ticket they go to. Thus their costs increase proportionally to the number of subscribers. Unless each additional user they sign up goes to the movies less than the average MoviePass user, Cost per user doesn't decrease.

It’s actually not clear if this is the case. It took three days and a ton of media pressure to get Trump to say he condemns Nazis, and then he immediately said that he only made the statement because “bad people” in the media forced him to.

A very logical conclusion is that Trump actually does support Nazis.
But IO (or ST) style is also unidiomatic and simply too cumbersome. You are just not going to write "writeArray arr (i,j) k" instead of "arr[i][j] = k", and more importantly,

v <- readArray arr (i,j-1)
w <- readArray arr (i-1,j)
writeArray arr (i,j) (v+w)

instead of

arr[i][j] = arr[i][j-1] + arr[i-1][j];

No way you're doing that over and over again for any substantial performance-oriented code (where you absolutely need mutable arrays).

Huh? What exactly do you think a gym's principal expenses are beyond rent, employee cost and equipment maintenance/replacement? And how long do you think a gym treadmill which is run on for ~6 hours a day will last?

The gender gap in IT is definitely caused by sexism.

You might argue that the gender gap in other industries has other reasons, but for IT the case is already closed.

There are a bunch of bunch of different ways in which sexism is enacted, maybe different sexisms altogether, but at its very core is: discrimination based on gender, uncorrelated with any relevant objective metrics.

It's the western society since the 80s that is out of line: if you look to the past, or look elsewhere past some borders, you'll see that obstacles that are preventing more women to get in IT don't necessarily have to be there.

"Could"? I don't think anyone who's being intellectually honest would be able to claim otherwise. If you serve a leader in an advisory role, you are actively in support of their policies and actions. Even if you disagree and the leader chooses otherwise or acts contrary to your advice, your role by its nature demonstrates that you are deferring to their leadership, thus you support it.
