The dating market for men has become extremely difficult over the last few years (lots of factors for that), more and more men are unable to find a mate. Men are less inviting of other men from my observation as they are in deep competition with each other -- why risk having another man around when he might take your girl or reduce your chances? Apps, dating sites, clubs, and events are filled with men looking for women, don't expect them to be cooperative with you, you are their compitition.

I believe this is a factor in men becoming less cooperative.
First of all, it's a report written by actual experts on the subject, and one that actually cites more than two sources, not all of them affirming the same point of view. It’s not the Principia, but it’s scholarly work, and a hundredfold better than some rant written by some random guy who has not studied the subject at all, not even as an amateur. But if it’s not to your liking, you’re welcome to go down the list on Google Scholar. If you’re looking for scholarly confirmation of Damore’s views, you’ll have to dig deep. If, however, your intent is to dismiss serious scholarship in a subject you have not studied at all so you don’t have to read it and can continue believing what some dude wrote because it fits with your gut feeling, then there’s really no point to discuss this subject seriously at all.

Second, your question is answered in the vast literature of the field who's scholarly conclusions you so dismiss without study. Just to give you an elevator pitch: the starting point of the discussion isn't tech at all, but the overall position of women. It is a fact disputed by no expert that 1. women have overall far less power in our society than men, and 2. this structure was created by at least centuries of social policy. The only assumption is that women do not want to have less power than men. The discussion about tech is merely an offshoot of that, as now tech is a significant source of power in our society. You can learn the rest if you're interested, but just to make it clear: your presentation of the feminist side is completely and absolutely wrong. Also, while you imagine this arrogance simply because you have not studied the subject, it is an undisputed fact that women have actually been commanded by society for centuries what to do and learn (which, for much of history, was very little). So I wouldn’t start talking about arrogance, because that on the side of men has been pervasive for centuries.
My main concern with the electric vehicle hockey stick growth curve is sourcing the cobalt required in Li-ion battery chemistry (although there are non cobalt versions LiFePo with worse metrics). One of the basic problems is how does a cobalt miner know whether or not something like this article's battery doesn't pop into existence just as soon as they put in billions of dollars to get a cobalt mine going. I have a suspicion that Tesla is waiting to be more clearly stable financially and then they will do something to derisk cobalt miners (like promise the purchase of a boatload of cobalt at a certain price).
There are 3 founders, and Brian is the only one that close to Langley. Sam lives in Michigan and Washington lives in Australia.
Communication is necessary if you work in large groups towards common goals (row in the same direction).

That is currently done by emails, meetings and calls and are a necessary cost of business (obviously to a certain extent).

My managers currently target 25 hours of individual work with the rest being taken up by the aforementioned topics which I find a reasonable/maybe a little high balance.

15 hours of individual work per week is pretty low though.
I've been using Polymer for several years on my side projects - Based on pure technical merit, I've always liked it the most of all other front end frameworks (though I have to say that in the early days performance and cross-browser compatibility were issues; but it's no longer the case though; now it's just great).

Most companies these days are using React or Angular 2 (that's what I've been forced to use as part of my contract work). VueJS is getting traction but I don't feel that Polymer is getting the recognition it deserves just yet (it's very hard to find Polymer contract work).

I really like that I don't need a separate compile step to build an app (almost no setup). The way the components compose together is also really nice. The CSS style encapsulation of Polymer 2.0 is another great feature - It might upset a few people due to lack of automatic backwards compatibility with external stylesheets but I do think it's the right long term decision.

If someone is starting an app from scratch today, I think that Polymer 2 is the best choice.
I don’t see it. I certainly see many references to it as a bad thing that needs addressing, just like germs are a real and serious problem that needs fighting, but that doesn’t mean that the people who spread germs do it with the intent to cause others harm. So I don’t see “malevolent sexism”, and I don’t see references to Damore as a misogynist.
If this is at all accurate, then all it is saying is that programming started as a pink collar ghetto. The article itself indicates it was dominated by women as long as it was considered "glorified clerical work." This is actually really normal stuff, not peculiar to the computer industry. "Serious jobs" tend to get dominated by men. This may be related to "the second shift" -- that women seek jobs that don't take an excess of their energy so they can go home and cook, clean, etc. Men are much more often in a position to say "Woman, get me a beer" and just collapse after giving their all to their job.

I don't know a solution. But, I think we aren't going to find one if we don't first recognize that one of the roots of such problems is not that women are predisposed to certain kinds of labor, but that society as a whole expects women to do "women's work" at home and this is rooted in the reality that women can get pregnant, men cannot. A lot of traditional gender roles grow out of that and a lot of societal expectations grow out of that and it wasn't intended to oppress women. It evolved organically as a way for both adults in a household to contribute meaningfully to making ends meet, raising the kids, etc at a time when birth control was not readily available and yadda.
Show HN: Bye-React – Migrate from React to Preact with One Command
The Bitcoin Core developers were never part of the agreement to hard-fork and increase the block size - they've said it was a terrible idea all along at least on the time scale proposed. I don't think they even knew about it until it was publicly announced. Also, SegWit increases the block size to 2-ishMB by itself (it's complicated, because older nodes need to think blocks are still under 1MB, which is done by stripping out parts of SegWit transactions when sending to them). This means that in practice the hard fork gives a block size of 4-8MB.

The "compromise" framing of "we gave you SegWit, now you have to give us a hard fork" is pretty terrible too, because the two aren't symmetrical - SegWit makes hard forking less urgent, but hard forking to increase the block size makes the SegWit improvements more important because they're designed to make larger blocks work better. Even Bitcoin Cash copied one of the key SegWit improvements, the transaction hashing change, in very slightly modified form for this reason.
As a point of reference, you can get a business visa in Japan by starting a company with about $50K in capital. The idea is that the company has enough money to pay your salary for a year or so (the $50K is a minimum and depends on whether or not they think the company can look after you as an employee). I have heard that similar kinds of visas can be obtained in some SE Asian countries, so I'm guessing that Thailand will introduce something similar -- so a few tens of thousands of dollars (I'm not entirely sure what the cost of living is like there, but it's probably lower than Japan).
> the shift in the basic, underlying "we're-all-in-this-together" ethos has been not just noticeable, but profound

Depends on your value of "we."

There is certainly lower solidarity/interest in public life among the straight white landowning Christian men from good families who used to participate in things like freemasonry and Rotary.

On the other hand, both the left and right have been adding previously marginalized demographics to their constituencies and platforms.

I don't think there's any less solidarity going around. My intuition is that more people than ever have their voices heard and interests represented in public life. But rather than one line of solidarity across the center of the political spectrum, we now have two disjoint lines reaching from each party's center to what used to be its marginalized fringes. (Not just in ideology, but in identity).

We also just aren't in this together so much anymore. The rise of coastal cities means the country is increasingly split between (at least) two totally distinct patterns of geography, economics, culture, built environment, and lifestyle. The correlation between population density and vote share on the latest electoral map is staggering.
Probably has a lot to do with the rise of the suburbs.

Got it, thanks. I was thinking it might be useful for certain kinds of cases only (maybe only certain advanced types of functions or use cases), but now I see that it is generally applicable, in the example you gave.
> Today the OS must fundamentally not trust any application.

I entirely agree.

> Permissions at install time are a good idea.

I'm actually not so sure about this. I think the "iOS model" of asking for permissions when necessary is much better than the "Android model"* of a big list of permissions on install, preventing use of the app if any of them aren't granted (leading to users giving apps less scrutiny over their permissions than than they would under the iOS model).

* I believe some recent versions of Android (M?) may support the "iOS model" in some form.
> You can use it as is but everyone is using webpack and babel, so you have to use it too.

No you don't. You can absolutely use your own build system, or no build system, and still make use of open source components and libraries from the React ecosystem.
The author of this benchmark is banned from almost all Go benchmarking repos on GitHub, because he consistently tried to fake benchmarks, violated licenses, stole code, and dozens of more stories.

@ainar-g, @velodrome and @OoooooooO said it already well enough that this benchmark is not in any way realistic, or useful, and that the author is untrustworthy.

I’ve flagged the article.
Although I don't disagree regarding the difficulty of understanding Cofree, at least the blog post explains what it's doing in this context. That alone was enough for me to understand that beginning snippet, convince me that there was at least some utility in the use of Cofree here, and remember this as an example of where it can be useful.

The parent^2 comment also snipped an example explained in the blog post, where he specifically chose that structure so that he could make use of built-in structures to traverse the tree. Similar to the use of Cofree (though I understand the Traversable monad far more), the reasoning was presented, it made sense, and I could move on from that without scratching my head.
Thanks for that link. Interesting rundown of the topic.

> It seems that this 'sport' (and other U.S. 'sports') is one of those uniquely American things like 'customary units', tea drinking and non-standard spellings where British-ness has to be eradicated.

Ignoring the flamebait about spelling and baseball, I have to say I'm confused about the "tea-drinking" part. I've always thought of tea-drinking as much more of a British thing than American, as the overwhelming majority of Americans I've met (from living in the US my entire life) prefer coffee to tea.

You're totally right about it being silly that we don't use the metric system, though.
I don't think the comment limits the meaning of abandonment, but rather gives an interpretation for a specific circumstance. Here's some umpires debating this rule: http://www.umpire.org/vb/showthread.php?s=2e5e11d3b28b94683f...
It does. But an academic literature review by actual experts does require a bit more effort to process than an office memo written in an afternoon by some programmer.

There's a lot to unpack in that comment, and I'm not going to take a swing at much of it, except to say that you should be careful of confusing visibility with reality. Both the haves and the have nots are equipped with increasingly large megaphones (instagram, et al). Most people are regular, and guys have been "taking" other guy's girls since we were beating each other with sticks. The idea that this phenomenon is new or unnatural aims to make it easier to paint as unfair, and for the plaintiff to claim victimhood. Watch out for that. Lots of lonely guys trying to deflect blame away from their own shortcomings. It's not intellectually honest.

Anyway, I think the issue is one level up from that: Economic uncertainty in general, rather than strictly social/reproductive uncertainty. The former invites the latter.
Hey, thanks for open sourcing TreeSheets. I forked it[1] some time ago to add localization support (though I also reorganized the code a fair bit in preparation for some other changes I was planning). It's a very cool project, pretty easy-to-understand codebase by virtue of being very simple.

In stark contrast to scholarly treatment, which, even if biased, at least attempts to address different perspectives.
I value them at far higher than the market does. See? Not impossible. My valuation comes from intuiting that they will succeed and go on to selling 5M vehicles a year, with industry leading margins because of the embedded software premiums and supply/demand imbalance. Also they have a decent probability at getting a large chunk of the TaaS economy which itself looks inevitable and worth trillions. But yeah, if you want to use 2017 P/E, good luck.

No more hypocritical than extending an offer to the person who offered to help me, then trying to point out it's hypocritical to compete with you. :)

When it's possible for a new technology to be created and fundamentally shape society, it will inevitably be created. There is a chance that you're right about OB. If you are, then the first entity to make this technology work will have a massive advantage, just like Bitcoin and Tor do. People look to the Bitcoin core dev team for ideological guidance. You will have a lot of influence.

Now, the fact that you plan to make money by offering a search feature changes nothing about the underlying usage of the network. You're adding Tor support. You know what that means, and what the implications are. Again, you are not being straight with us -- notify us of illegal content immediately? What marketing nonsense is this? Your Tor support will be the reason for the future illegal content.

You undoubtedly know this. When people are being so shifty, it seems best not to trust them. You won't just come out and say that your idea will never work if you limit yourself to eBay type items, because we already have a perfectly good eBay. Your darknet users are your lifeline.
Maybe we're a bit more varied here in the UK and this is anecdata but I'm a member of a running club that has at one end of the spectrum members of the Conservative party through to anarcho-vegans.
There isn't such thing as darknet as there isn't really a dark side of the moon.

UBI is a non-perfect solution to the problem of the (IMHO inevitable) situation when "large numbers of jobs that pay $20k-$50k or so disappear and now you have to live [...] with little or no hope of ever getting a job again". This part doesn't depend on UBI in any way whatsoever, it's not caused by UBI but by the current trends in technology development, and it's only relevance to UBI is that "UBI people" are willing to think and talk about this scenario while mainstream politicians would (obviously) rather pretend that this problem doesn't exist, since voters tend to punish politicians that bring bad news even if they're true.

Assuming your assumptions, in this situation is living on $10k-20k a bleak, dystopian future compared to the default (if nothing changes in our policy, no UBI) scenario of all these permanently unemployable people having no reasonable income?
My experience is that the finish time prediction isn't reliable. It's based average speed over the whole connection, not the current speed. So the projection will lag behind if the speed changes dramatically. Maybe the speedtest somehow resets the projection?

The measurement really needs to be done on the wire.

If you want to test latency perception with an LED, here's what you would do:

1. Connect an LED and a button to the Arduino.

2. Program the Arduino to have the LED flash when the button is pressed.

3. In the program, add a constant delay between the button press being registered and the LED flashing. Increase this delay until the LED starts flashing noticably after the button is pressed.

The last time we faced the possibility of "automation" taking our jobs, we invented the 40 hour work week to redistribute work and raise quality of life for more working class people. We called it The Industrial Revolution.

I think of this as The Second Industrial Revolution. I think we need new ways to cut the burden of work for the average individual without cutting large numbers of people out of work entirely.

Designing it that way is not a given. And it is a design choice to say "meh, too bad, so sad that many people will simply be unemployed -- not my problem." It is a terrible design choice, but it is a choice.
I think the confusion is that it sounded like the idea was without repetition.
Not even remotely. Libertarianism is not just wanting drugs, pedophilia, and murder. Murder is certainly off the table for any libertarian, and I suspect most would agree with me that any sort of sexual conduct with children constitutes violence.

"I tend to argue instead for actual socialism over UBI. Socialized health care, public education, infrastructure, etc."

That's not socialism, at all. That's social democracy.

I belive that abstraction can be a double edged sword.

Pro. you write less code
Pro. Your code is easier to read for everyone familiar with the abstraction.
Con. You need a math degree.
Con. Harder to get contributors.
etc...

Tangentially. The docs also say that:

"In practice, cofree comonads are quite useful for annotating syntax trees, or talking about streams."

Sometimes you can learn the abstraction and one of its particualr use cases. And apply it when you find it, without needing the degree.

Also to answer your question:
"So I take it you believe that a degree in category theory is the bare minimum for people to expect to be able to understand other people's code?"

No, I don't believe so.

But the experiment of forming a team of people that knows all this to see how productive they are, would be nice to see.

I like the idea of 1.

As a non-tech sole founder I hired two developers in this mode. I called "freelancer as a test to CTO/co-founder". They both were interested in building a new web app from scratch using the stack they wanted so this allowed them to charge a discounted price.

I paid them by the hour totally trusting them on how many hours they had worked each week.

The startup ended up failing, but this arrangement was great for both parts.

If the startup had been a success, I believe the arrangement would be around the lines of some below market salary with large equity (but not co-founder level). Probably from 20% to 30% before any funding
