You don't prove that he isn't or need evidence to that effect. He doesn't prove the negative. A prosecutor and the only judge that counts should have to prove positive beyond reasonable doubt that he did something. Him - not somebody else, not a handle. With actual evidence. As for 'OSINT' aka 'google/twitter' I've seen a lot of chat logs and hearsay from rivals but not one shred of evidence. Certainly not enough even for an arrest warrant.

When I invest in something, it's to reap (fast) profits. As the time I have been investing increases, my concern with the relationship between funds/instruments and human rights has inversely decreased. When I talk to other traders/investors, they have the same sentiment. When you step back and analyze that, it comes out to "the trend is not to care about <whatever>-rights at all".

Don't fight the trend. Seriously, don't fight the trend. You're investing to make money. You are not investing to change the world(eg charitable giving).

Ethics and investing/trading should not be married together. If they are, you close many doors that may be profitable, and open 0 new doors. Think about that for a second... by upholding personal values in your investment strategy, you eliminate good investments, and create zero new(good or bad) investments. Why would you do this?

tldr; retail investors make decisions based on all the wrong data points, and are resultantly unprofitable.

It's more about whether the ideology of that empire infiltrated your subsequent historical narrative.

Western culture is built on the results of the Greek and Roman empires, the Catholic Church, the English (and French/Spanish/Portuguese/Dutch) empire, and the American conquest.

No one is the villain of their own story. And these empires - not the Persian, Ottoman, Germanic, native American, Russian, and other empires which opposed them, or the Chinese, Japanese, and Mongolian, and other empires which didn't feature in their storyline - wrote the storybooks.

It's the natural way to judge things - perhaps not the most accurate or honest, but those take a lot of effort to establish.

Plenty of articles arguing both sides of this hurricane have spent time on HN's front page, and there have been many thousands of comments for and against. At this point nothing new is emerging. If significant new information appears in the developing news story, that's fine, but until that happens, these threads are effectively dupes and it's not unfair for users to flag them. Repetitive rehashing of the same scorched earth is not why most people come here.

Re HN moderation, the phenomenon behind your perception is that both sides of each ideological divide believe, quite fervently, that we're secretly moderating HN to favor the opposing agenda. I'd love to figure out something we could do about this, but alas there doesn't seem much hope of it. For sure these accusations can't all be right since they say opposite things, and what's remarkable is how similar they are except for the one flipped ideological bit.

It has been obvious for years that Travis Kalanick will run Uber into the ground, unless controlled. This is not new. One of the reasons there isn't a CFO is so he doesn't have to justify his awful ideas.

It's good to see Benchmark is finally admitting that they (and the rest of the board) have failed to do their job; by failing to more adequately govern Uber.

Uber is a looming disaster for investors, and I pity employees there who think their options are going to make them rich. That will only be true for a very, very few, because Travis has made decisions that will leave most of them with basically nothing.

This also brings net neutrality into play, DNS is a core internet service, without it the internet cannot function.
We have now 2 internet service providers effectively refusing to provide services to some one based on political and subjective perception of the content rather than an objective one based in law.

Do you think GoDaddy didn't knew what they were providing DNS services too? they do KYC both individually and collectively any internet service provider these days gets a threat report based on it's customers because of the threat of hacktivism.

Castles create a different strategy. A walled city is an egg, you have a lot of area to attack and when you get through there's a treasure inside. A castle is a pebble. It can be crushed, but you have to put in a lot of effort, you get nothing from it and there's a thousand more around you.

IIRC the Song also didn't have great castle making technology. Didn't they do earthen fortifications reinforced with clay bricks? And weren't the walled cities typically sitting on plains, possibly without a moat? That's a lot easier to attack than a composite stone wall sitting on a mountain.

>Subjective performance evaluations are easily tainted by prejudice

This is vastly under-acknowledged. Implicit biases affect even the most well-intentioned of us, which then persistently and negatively impact the targets of our biases (see the movie Get Out for an exaggerated, but entertaining take on this).

For an "out-group" in any particular environ, their very status as a historical out-group itself fuels the perceptions that perpetuate their disenfranchisement.

So, the remedy to this has not been to psychoanalyze every hiring manager in an attempt to navigate these murky, subjective waters; but to set objective goals that seek to counter the equally objective under-representation manifestations that we can actually measure.
IMO, this was a clever PR move on Benchmark's part.

Benchmark needs to limit any reputational damage that results from the ensuing battle. In order to do that, they need to justify their actions to the public.

Engaging with journalists directly is suboptimal because it lets the journalist control the narrative which will naturally paint them in a defensive light. Addressing the public via a "letter to employees" allows them to fully control the narrative, defend their actions while not seeming defensive, and paint the picture that they are looking out for the greater good.

Of course, we all know that Benchmark is self-interested. Their goals are:

- Liquidate their investment ASAP via a private transaction (e.g. Softbank) or IPO

- Protect the value of their investment until liquidation event occurs

- Limit any reputational damage to their firm

Everything they do can probably be explained by at least one of these objectives. And, it should be obvious that they don't genuinely care about Uber's employees -- only to the extent that it preserves the value of their investment (i.e. preventing substantial attrition).

Well... They said the same in the industrial era. There are a lot of things to consider, for example:

- AI might not like to work, as we don't like to work

- You suppose that if you create AI then the AI can create a more intelligence AI and this to the infinity. We don't know if the intelligence is unlimited or limited. We might have reach the top intelligence. (note: the more intelligent the brain the slower it is, and a bigger brain does not relate to intelligence)

I was headhunted for the job I had at an adult website hosting company. You can't go by domain name or anything, as the companies themselves all have very innocuous, bland corporate names to avoid attention.

I would say that there's no specific way to go about hunting for such jobs as they all use the same resources as any other internet companies to find employees, but they do lean more heavily on recruiters. Perhaps ask some recruiters to point you in that direction.
It is a trend that AMD overvolts their cards to push their clocks to compete with Nvidia. Undervolted every GCN generation comes in line with Nvidia in performance per watt, the problem is your actual performance is too low to be impressive then. In the end, the numbers win - so if you are at a slight disadvantage (and generally AMD makes one series of dies, and sells them to both the consumer and enterprise segments, whereas Nvidia will at the hardware level disable features of dies when going into gaming cards to eek more efficiency out of them) then cranking up the power draw to reach performance parity almost surely sells more units than being just as efficient but performing worse per die area (because wafers are near fixed cost).
