Consider EDS, particularly if you also have allergy (MCAS - mast cell activation) sypmtoms. A lot of people diagnosed with CFS actually have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, which affects 1 or 2 percent of the population and is undiagnosed in 95% of patients. Very few doctors know enough to rule it in or out, or have even heard of MCAS.

microbiota may be involved with CFS

>I've long thought that all universities should run under this model

I did too, until I though about it a bit more. You'd end up with Universities cutting all of their "non-profitable" majors, but those things still have some value to society.

Perhaps a hybrid model, where the "profitable" majors are free but you pay afterwards, and the unprofitable ones you pay up front.
I also went to the website https://www.spectacles.com and I had no idea what they were until I googled other news articles about it.

- Extremely vague besides "push a button to record video".

- No mention of battery power, length of charge, app integration, quality of video, etc, etc.

- It seems to be only targeted at women? There's no pictures of men wearing them.

- What do the sides of the glasses look like? All pictures are the front angle. Does it look bulkier because it has a camera?

- I see a prominent "Find a Snapbot" button, I had no idea "Snapbot" meant pop-up store until I read about it in a news article.

I could go on...

The pictures are visually appealing but having zero sales copy was a terrible idea. How can you sell something without explaining it?

I too would have liked to see an Amazon link, I prefer using that over a custom online shop every time. And Amazon forces them to write an actual description about what the product does.
Shaming by some groups is a badge of honor: If I'm hated by a certain unpopular political group, that's a real point in my favor in some regions. It's credibility you can't buy. And it doesn't matter if the group which hates me is powerful, as long as they're hated in turn by the people I want credibility with.

The only way shaming hurts me is if the group doing the shaming is powerful among people I care about. Thus shaming is an expression of power, and a use of social force which must come from groups which have power.
Say you wanted to let a computer search for a proof of P!=NP - which axioms would you start with and which rules to transform the axioms into additional valid statements?
You could get around it by advertising a senior position, for which women applicants are sought, and a junior position, where everyone will be considered, with substantially the same responsibilities but different pay.

Would a US court disallow this? It doesn't seem to violate the spirit of affirmative action, or the letter of equality laws.
Also we're 100% online, so people don't have to move to San Francisco for 3+ months.
Can a domain register refuse to host a registration record for a site they disagree with? The domain system is a public system, not a corporate one.

If I register "godaddysucks.com" with Go Daddy can they say sorry you cannot register that?

In the United States, you only have a right to free speech in the public space - the government cannot punish you for it. But not in the private space, with a few clear legal exceptions. I think a source of confusion in this thread is a lack of understanding over this public-private division, which has existed for hundreds of years now. It's nothing new, and it's certainly not illegal.
So what you're suggesting is that DNS and domain registration and web hosting should all be public services operated by the government, because only the government is obligated to protect internet content from censorship? Or are you simply arguing that private businesses should be required to accept money from anyone to host any content, including content that is illegal in other countries or content that is against their personal beliefs?
I am not the original commenter, but - English is full of slang and borrowed concepts. And it has rules, but they aren't really enforced and there are many cases where the rules are explicitly broken. Every generation, we see new additions to the English language and removals of old/out of date phrasing.

When you look at it like that, yeah, it's kinda like JavaScript - not really object oriented and not really functional but borrows concepts from both, loosely typed (rules aren't really enforced), and there's a new library every month that drastically changes the language (slang, evolving with the generations).

I only speak English, so I'm not sure if other languages are like this.
They are certainly exaggerating, but the service is a social good - my mother and other elderly and disabled without cars have more independence and freedom to do things around town without spending exorbitant sums on finicky taxis, or spending an hour or more in buses.
Ask HN: What are the training datasets available to benchmark a Neural Network
We are working on a general purpose neural network architecture. We have found some good success with it. Just wanted to know what are some publicly available data sets using which we can benchmark our stuff.

I know about MNIST and Yale database. Also, how do we benchmark?

Is there any place where you can find a dataset, best accuracy for that data set(whats the test data used) and time it took to train the data set.
Is there anyway I could contact you to learn a little more about what kind of subconscious healing practices you have used? I am in dire need of them. My life is... well... crumbling around me. :)
What's with the wave of "Totally-Obvious-Music-Advice" posts on the front page today?

"It's Never Too Late to Learn Guitar"

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15008078

(SYNOPSIS: practice, and take lessons)

"How to Write a Song"

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15011198

(SYNOPSIS: practice, learn some basic music theory and try not to be boring)

I don't really disagree with any of this, but that's because it's not really saying much of anything. It's kind of diet and exercise articles. If they're honest (i.e. "avoid unhealthy foods, burn more calories than you take in"), then they're boring fluff. Whereas if they try to present exciting secrets (e.g. "do this gluten-free paleo detox cleanse and you'll never have to exercise again!"), then they're gimmicky junk. Maybe some topics just aren't that "blog-able".
There's a difference between supporting your right to free speech and giving you a megaphone.

I can do the former while declining, no matter what you are willing to pay, to do the latter.

Free speech is not entitlement to others’ active collaboration in transmitting your speech.
Awesome, that's great to hear. And I completely agree with your last paragraph, my concern (without knowing the relevant laws) was always just what a judge would hear. Really glad to see someone doing this
Keep at it. Absolutely everyone started where you are now. 15 minutes is more than enough to start seeing improvement from day to day.

Being relaxed and having a light touch is key to playing effortlessly. Beginners tend to press down way too hard. But don't worry too much about that for now, it'll develop automatically. If you're having trouble angling the fingers right, try moving your thumb around instead.
Censorship is still censorship, private censorship just isn't explicitly protected by the constitution.

Do we want to support a world where corporations can freely censor ideas they don't like? Is that a good world to live in?
I hope it dies quicker than Flash.
I think they don't even have to explicitly show attitude like in the video you shared. Their past accomplishments in managing complex systems and projects can more than speak for themselves. :)
Self-hosting doesn't solve free speech on the internet. The first person who doesn't like you will DDoS you off the net, and then you'll need to run and hide behind a service like CloudFlare. There are only a few such firms. If they've been pressured not to protect you because your opinions are deemed objectionable, then you effectively cannot publish online at all.

This is not a theoretical problem. After Quillette published the response of 4 scientists to the Google memo they were DDoSd off the net.

I'm sure this isn't exactly what you're asking for but this website is worth a visit.
The Atlantic mentions a couple of studies that show that % of women in CS is very variable between countries.

But the % of women in CS doesn't seem to correlate very highly with my intuition about sexism. For instance I would never think that Mexico or Poland was a far less sexist place than Norway. Nor does it seem to correlate well with female student's math anxiety. Mexico and the U.S. seem to be very similar in terms of the math anxiety gap, but very far apart in term of number of female CS majors.

You could look at the charts and see support for the hypothesis that "there is variability in the % of women in CS therefore the difference is cultural" but you could also look at it and say "look across every cultural in the world women choose CS less often than men".

We also don't know why, it could be gender stereotypes about what field women go into, or it could be emphasis on passion vs income. With countries that place greater emphasis on community and income having larger numbers of women in CS, with countries that place greater emphasis on passion and interests having a lower number of women in CS.
You would think the UK government would help him out here, given what he did for us.
It's fine when it's one project seeking funding for itself. When it's some umbrella org gathering funding for some nebulous "F/OSS community" that I start getting wary. I think it would be better if each large project could build within itself a framework for seeking funding, rather than one group seeking joint funding for everyone. That concentrates too much political power in one place leading to a higher chance of a takeover by unwanted people.
And none of that matters because the "face" of diversity is a neurotypical White woman with no obvious disabilities.
That's the entire question we're addressing in these threads. It is weird that women excel in:

- the rest of STEM,

- the law,

- medicine,

- pretty much all the rest of the professions (accounting, actuary, &c)

... despite the fact that many of those fields are, both intellectually and from the amount of work product expected, more challenging than computer science.

Agree, this is reason for concern.

It is difficult to come up with an explanation for the 82/18 split in this industry that doesn't primarily include an implied preference on behalf of industry incumbents to avoid working with women.

Here's were we disagree.

I think there are lots of things to be done but if this was true then there should be a massive opportunity for whatever company moved first and hired all those qualified candidates that others shun.

> I think it's more common for security projects to take on more aloof names

True, although I also find the negative sides of "hacker culture" more pervasive and less challenged than "brogrammer" culture or whatever term you want to use.

> Why all this morality police?

I find it overly sexualised, from a very masculine perspective. That's not really appropriate in a professional context in my opinion, but more than that, it can really put some people off the industry. Unfortunately, those people it puts off are disproportionately from groups that are already minorities in the industry, and so it helps in some small way, to perpetuate the lack of diversity.

Obviously this particular example really is only a small part of the problem, but it all contributes, and one of the easiest ways to do our part for increasing diversity and making the industry more welcoming is to do things like improve the naming of our projects.
Are you saying that Benchmark thinks/knows this lawsuit is worse for Uber and its employees?

It's an open secret that Kalanick is trying to regain control of the company, telling people that he plans to return as CEO; that he's "Steve Jobs-ing it." [1] That's what this lawsuit is trying to prevent.

I don't think Kalanick's return would be good for Uber, its employees, or its investors. Clearly Benchmark feels the same way.

After overlooking the paper and applying Scott Aaronson's criterion I bet against you and bet:

- The proof will turn out to have a flaw

- The flaw will not be that hard to find (though probably not completely trivial; but rather of the kind: it takes much time to go to the details of the proof arguments)

- The flaw will not be interesting in itself and will not advance the field
Any good explanation ought to also predict the similar ratio in volunteer and hobbyist software development, including single-programmer projects.

I don't think « preference on behalf of industry incumbents to avoid working with women » does that.
Whatever helps you get over that initial hump of pain and frustration is a great asset to use.

Generally, only content-based restrictions on speech are subject to strict scrutiny under the First Amendment, whereas "time, place, and manner" restrictions (e.g., noise ordinances) are more tolerated. Additionally, commercial advertising is less protected than other speech under the First Amendment.

Laws against spam do not target messages on the basis of their content (except in so far as they are commercial advertising, which is a less protected category of speech), so they are upheld as a "time, place, and manner" restriction.
Benchmark here has quite different time pressure than potential common stock holders. They need to get liquid.
That is an allegation which has not been proven without a doubt.

The headline, while complimentary, makes sense as it identifies him in the way most folks would recognize.

If I make a nazi movie nobody has to show it in their theatre. If I write a nazi book no publisher has to pick it up and print it.

If you want a nazi domain name system then go ahead and create it. Run a DNS server, advertise it as "this is the DNS for nazis" and you can have www.holocaustdenial.nazi all you want.
There are tons of leftist sites advocating violent revolution. I haven't heard of a single one being denied domain registration (or being banned in any other way).
I think that's a typo and it should say prune.
We're working to figure that out, but first we'll start servicing more of the US applicants we have (we can only teach a tiny, tiny fraction of the willing students at this point).
Agreed. Speaking strictly personally, as a wannabe entrepreneur dreaming of billions, this doesn't give me the feeling I should avoid Benchmark.
This same argument could be made for gay couples who want service for their gay wedding. We already set the precedent that a business cannot refuse service for customers it finds objectionable. You are essentially arguing in favor of the christian bakery refusing the gay wedding cake. So I don't think you can have it both ways, you either force people to do business with those you find objectionable or you dont.
I wonder what this would do to your career after such a job.

> Yeah, but; earned by whom???

Your direct reports. I have known managers who had earned the followship of their direct reports, and I've known some who "lead" by threatening their direct reports with retribution. In the latter case you can change leaders easily because there is no loyalty to the person just a fear of the retribution. If on the other hand a leader earns their followers loyalty their direct reports will do what they can to aid them, even when it might be against the rules to do so.

One of the tougher places you can find yourself is when you're loyalty is to one leader, but you are being asked to follow a different leader. That is especially difficult if it is a different leader that you do not respect.

I've seen that situation occur when the leader is removed against their wishes and so they have made no effort to help the team transition to the new leader (or acting leader). That is hard on the new leader and unfair to the team, but I have seen it up close more than once.
Is there anything preventing these fucking nazis from becoming a domain registrar? Or finding a company with no morals willing to host their domain? I don't see why they can't do one of the above. There's no duty on the part of Godaddy, Google, or any other company to provide these fuckers with service. Let them figure it out themselves if they want to stay online. This isn't a free speech issue. They have the right to say whatever they want. They do not have a right to force others to help them say whatever they want.
Well, I'm dealing with a bootloop-ed Nexus 5X, with no help from Google nor its manufacturer, LG.

My previous Android phone, a 2013 Moto X bought while Google owned the cell phone part of Motorola and was promising users (finally) timely, consistent updates, was largely abandoned with respect to updates within a year. This also involved Verizon, for me, who was promising... finally, timely and continuing updates, for this now Google phone -- no, really, believe us, despite our history.

So... I guess Google better be paying someone to maintain their presence in mobile.

Maybe they should have paid me and all their other Android users a little better attention. Because I'm seriously considering an iPhone as a replacement for my 5X brick.
Corrected, thank you
That's the point of a criminal conspiracy: to be well-known only for positive things, and for nobody to know about your involvement in negative things.

Obviously, he hasn't been found guilty of anything, and you're entitled to argue that the evidence suggests he isn't. The only thing you can't reasonably argue is what you've tried to argue here, which is that we should judge this person by what they were previously best known for.
Not sure that's great advice for someone who doesn't know how to play. Sure you can get a decent guitar for that price, but if you don't know how to play it, it's hard to tell. I would wager at least 60% of those guitars in that price range need to be sent to a tech to be set-up so that a beginner doesn't get frustrated.

>"first they (liberal minded people) wanted to take away your second amendment right. Now they want to take your first! We are the protectors of the Constitution!".

I'm sure that is absolutely what is happening, and they kind of have a point. Google leans liberal, they just got a ton of bad press for firing that guy, and they just blocked Stormwhatever from their DNS servers after GoDaddy just did (who I assume is also liberalish).

Like I said, shortsighted. Not to mention when people start thinking of Google as a monopoly, they don't want a bunch of references to a banstick coming up in public discourse.

The funny thing is that the EU has largely been pushing for more Open Access due to the Netherlands' EU presidency last year - the Netherlands was already taking the lead at that point.

Then again, the way the Open Access transition appears to be taking place right now seems like it could end up creating really nice profit margins for companies like Elsevier again, so maybe that was their plan all along.

I found the anecdotal information about her children confusing. The only way I could rationalize it, in the context of her broader argument, is that she is suggesting that there are less women in tech simply because girls don't like to code. And given this natural reason for less women, having quotas actually harms the women who do want to code. I'm not sure though.

My initial reaction on reading this was "Bahahahah stupid smart locks, internet of shit blah blah blah," but I am compelled to agree with your statement. Any lock is merely a deterrent, and adding complexity to a deterrent inherently increases it's security, especially when the threat profile of a door lock is generally "idiot burglar."

Sure, I'd be good with that. I also think that if there are some things that are non-profitable but still valuable to society (and no doubt, there are), then the problem is really that the agent isn't capturing enough of the value they are creating for society, and society ought to find an incentive mechanism that changes that. But since we live in a practical world and that is an impractical demand, I agree a hybrid model would be beneficial
