I made this comment a few days ago, but I think a lot of readers are getting tripped up in his (likely very artfully deployed) wording and avoiding his underlying messages.

The passage in which that quote occurs clearly implies that the bar has already been lowered - in fact, the second half of the sentence offers the mechanism through which the 'bar had been lowered' ("Hiring practices which can effectively lower the bar for “diversity” candidates by decreasing the false negative rate")

> No one would find it weird if I claimed that women aren't able to run a 100 as fast as men. Yes, there might be some exceptional cases where women can compete, but they are just that, exceptions to the rule. Most of the time women compete among themselves since they would never qualify for anything if they competed in the same category as men.
Why is it unacceptable to make the same observation about intellectual endeavors, or programming specifically?

I guess I'm surprised that this is controversial (in response to your most recent comment to a sibling poster) - the reason we don't accept that women are worse programmers than men is... we don't have evidence that women are worse programmers than men.

There are data about physical strength (and amazingly clear biological correlates - most HN posters will never outmatch a top female athlete, and we only need to do a quick lab test to determine this). However, female/minority intelligence has been, and continues to be, a politicized issue - until the more overt instances of discrimination are eliminated, how can we jump from blaming the obvious societal barriers to blaming biology?
Yeah, because Russian intelligence would never co-opt its economic assets for espionage.
Maersk Says June Cyberattack Will Cost It Up to $300M
The vast majority of my robo call match the first 6 digits of my number. They try hard to look local. My number is from Google voice, so it isn't really like the normal local numbers - so I'm safe ignoring them. I have yet to have a legit call that matches the first six digits.

But what about the people who really do have a local number? Any call from a neighbor or local business is likely to look like the robo calls. Ignoring those can be a pain.

Do not call list? Any bets that it is harvested and used as a call list be companies out of the country?

Moore’s law is still alive and well, you just have to move over to the parallel architectures like GPU's.

That's a great link! I've been looking for something like that.

It confirms the criticisms of Damore cherry picking his sources. It appears that for almost everything he wrote there is both supporting and conflicting evidence. The fact the he only mentions the supporting evidence is a huge problem. I would expect better from a google engineer.
Given the choice between trial and error engineering and science backed engineering I much prefer the latter. That does not mean doing engineering without the science is impossible just so much harder. They both go hand in hand, nothing mythological here. Advancements in one leads to ideas in the other and vice-versa.

I find it interesting that the review prefers this over the Dell XPS 13/15, given that:

- the XPS is thinner and lighter

- the XPS has a much smaller bezel

- the XPS has much better battery life

It seems like those qualities would put it closer to being the "Linux Macbook Pro" than the Galaga. Is it just the amount of raw power that the Galaga has which puts it over the top in his book?

A good place to start would be understanding the holocracy model and why it hasn't become more mainstream yet. Companies like Valve and Medium have experimented with flat organizations to varying degrees of success (I believe Medium ended their holacracy experiment in favor of a more traditional org structure).

Personally, I believe decentralized organizations will look more like small markets than companies. You could almost argue that a completely flat organization is a market. What's the difference between a completely decentralized Uber and a "ridesharing market" of drivers and riders whose logistics, contracts, and payments are handled by a blockchain instead of people?

one friend just advised:

"I'd recommend buying BTC, selling the swap on www.bitmex.com and getting the passive return in USD from the swap rate

..Or you could buy some BTC, some ETH, an 5-7 other coins in some ratio, set up all the wallets for them, and hold them in cold storage for 5 years you have a decent chance of out-performing the swap yield

you could buy 10% BTC, 10% ETH, 15% LTC, 15% ETC, 10% XMR, 10% of 4 others .. thing is that portfolio could go down 50% or 70% before it goes up 300%...

you could also have that portfolio and have 40% in dollarized BTC..

having 40% hedged and earning say 30% a year really helps to limit your downside and it also means you have dry powder to buy the next big down-turn.

"
>I’m also disappointed that the men I know, including most of my male colleagues, remained silent on the topic. And the ones that did participate, either seemed to support Damore or demonstrated a fundamental lack of understanding for the issues women engineers are faced with and care about.

Interesting takes on the memo. This part stood out to me.

I'm not really in a situation where I have many coworkers around but, just knowing myself, I can say I likely would be someone that would have stayed silent on the topic unless it was specifically brought up. That's more about my personality than anything, I generally avoid starting conversations because I'm bad at small talk.

I'd like to know what I can do differently. My opinion generally mirrors the thoughts put forward by the female engineers but I feel like maybe I've let someone in my life down by not being more vocal and supportive. Really the only thing I've done is tried to encourage female coworkers in non-development positions to try it out, and offer them help. I've tried to nudge our hiring team to look at a more diverse crowd - though that's hampered by low wages and living very literally in one of the more remote parts of the country (our town has 3.5k people and is considered a large town for our region). I guess I'm saying I want to do more but I don't know what to do without seeming disingenuous.

> proprietary software that only does as much as qemu? Any advantages to this?

Well, they claim it's "like QEMU but 5 times faster!" but that's probably in some specific test conditions. I can't find any proof to this claim such as an independent review of their software across a variety of productive use scenarios.

> You can even run Windows applications on your ARM Mini PC using x86 Wine.

Or, wait until Microsoft finalises their x86 translation layer for Windows 10 ARM, and don't bother with running an i686 Linux distribution under emulation and running Wine within that. They don't seem to support x86_64 Linux distributions, so I wonder what they're planning to do since some distributions will be dropping i686 support soon. [0]

If you wanted to run Windows binaries on an ARM board, I can't see why you'd go for this over Windows 10 with x86 translation. No sane x86 proprietary software vendor would ever support Exagear's solution.

When was GOP for good healthcare? When did GOP had quality candidate? I said "business as usual" for GOP. As in, they're ~ same level of crap for the past few decades. They're not getting better, but they aren't getting worse either.

HRC nomination was either full retard or just being delusional and careless. It was truly painful to watch the campaign and see her (and to extent, Democrats) make mistake after mistake. I'm surprised she lost by such a small margin. But then it was loosing to Trump, which is even more surprising.

All in all, popcorn economy is doing great. I hope democrats will collect themselves and put up a reasonable candidate next time. Or maybe GOP will make progress. I don't see how they could get worse so only way is up.

0. Odds are that your business is not Apple. Odds are that your business interests are at least somewhat adversarial to Apple's because Apple wants some of your businesses money.

1. My typical reference article is: https://blog.ycombinator.com/minimum-viable-product-process/

2. My standard suggestion is to consider building a webapp before an app store app because it allows showing the app to users without going through the approval process; and if the app is successful, a website will be needed to support it; and a webapp can be iterated in a matter of minutes versus weeks or months or never for app store approval.

Good luck.

It needs to be tested in both bull and bear markets. His time period was all bull (S&P +22%). I've been beating the S&P on a dividend play, but it's all in an up market as well, and the upward movement may be amplifying my choices on the positive side. A down market may have the opposite effect, and amplify on the negative. Also, I may have just hit a market rotation at the right time, which is not repeatable for me (since I don't know how to predict it). So I don't trust my results unless/until it also outperforms in a down market.

Also when the HoloLens throws a fit it's maybe a 5% margin of error in terms of how the image moves. You'd think an autonomous vehicle wouldn't crash because of that much inaccuracy considering human drivers don't normally with less accuracy than that.
This coupled with storing the scroll position and only executing code when it actually changes is the gold standard IMO. Works fantastically well on mobile too.

I have been impressed by former addicts that have then gone on to help others, in fact I think that this is the best salvation for a lot of people caught in the addiction 'disease'. I have a former colleague trying to kill herself on crack and I hope our discussion one day gets round to her being clean and wanting to stay clean by helping people with their own rehabilitation. I can't think of any other gainful employment that she has the self-confidence or interest to do.

In the UK we have the NHS and the only way to get into rehab on the NHS is if you are a single mum or are homeless. Otherwise you pay for some private facility. We also don't have the prescription opiates that American's take for breakfast, elevenses, lunch, tea and dinner so the problem is not a full on crisis here.

From the anecdata I have I believe that coming from a broken home, not knowing whom your father was and childhood trauma is a large part of it. Drugs are 'always there for you' and work predictably, therefore a relationship with a drug is kind of preferable to maintaining real relationships, with a partner, with friends, colleagues or family. I believe that addicts that go through rehab to then work with the addicted, vulnerable members of society stand a much better chance of living a worthwhile life, even if their 'family' becomes the intake of addicts at the place where they work that 'family' is pretty good compared to the empty and pointless life that is addiction.

Sttp streaming and the URI interpolator
The caption for the top graph appears a bit out of whack.

It states "exponential decline in top 5 error rate", the decline looks more like diminishing returns to me, especially if you push the 2017 data point out to where it should be (they've omitted 2016).

It's nice that the error rate is low, but the caption appears to oversell it.

This graph reminds me of a very closely related one I saw in a talk a few years ago [1]. It was showing decline in voice recognition error rates over time, with a highlighted band for "human performance".

The speaker, Roger Moore (the academic, not the actor, and not the Moore with the law), pointed out that this line, while encouraging, hid two important points.

1) For linear improvement, exponentially more training data was needed.
2) No insight into how living beings solve the same task.

These aren't necessarily fatal flaws, but they're worth remembering.

Here's my understanding of what's going on:

He has a dataset that links companies to each element of the periodic table (Intel would likely be highly linked to silicon, while not as linked to nitrogen as a fertilizer company). He then uses some clustering and whatnot to produce groups of stocks he is trading as a unit.

How he picks what to trade is kinda hand wavy (Is he trading all baskets and only reporting the good one?). He also mentions using Google trends data, which might be some signal for his clusters. Given the lack of detail, my gut reaction is to assume he made tens of these strategies and has kindly reported the best one to us.

At the end, you see he is a financial consultant hoping to build his resume up through posts like these.

If it removes the need to understand qemu and all the other moving parts of the system in order to just do what a user wants, that's probably worth $50 to a lot of people. I mean, in the long run the learning process that goes with setting up qemu is probably worth it to some people. For a lot of people, qemu is the wrong level of abstraction.

Or to put it another way, "just run qemu" is a useful response to some people and not to others.

I barely knew him, but it ended up being a good decision because I ended up really fitting in here and I'm still in the area 12 years later.
