The difference there isn't "the guy being attractive", it's consent. Yes that means sometimes actions that cross the line of aggressiveness turn out ok in the end because the woman was already receptive. That's not an excuse for engaging in this type of behaviour though, because without consent you don't know if you are just slightly expediting the start of a relationship, or if you are doing huge damage to a human being that, presumably, you are attracted to and care about.

As the man, without knowing how she feels, why would you take the chance of destroying any chance of a relationship by gambling on what her reaction to your aggressive advances will be?

I know there are grey areas here. Women know that too. In the vast majority of cases they aren't out to get you. A lot of women could tell you stories about guys who perhaps unknowingly crossed the line and how they still know and get on with those men and don't hate them. Women want to feel safe going about their day to day lives. Give them the opportunity to back out of situations. Make it clear that it's ok for them to say no. Apologise straight away when you fuck up.

In AI, "board games" generally means classical board games (nim, chess, backgammon, go etc) and "card games" means classical card games (bridge, poker, etc). Russel & Norvig also discuss some less well-known games, like kriegspiel (wargame) if memory serves, but those are all classical at least in the sense that they are, well, quite old.

I've seen some AI research in more modern board games actually. I've read a couple of papers discussing the use of Monte Carlo Tree Search to solve creature combat in Magic: the Gathering and my own degree and Master's dissertation were about M:tG (my Master's was in AI and my degree dissertation was an AI system also).

I don't know that much about modern board games, besides collectible card games, but for CCGs in particular, the game trees are not small. I once calculated the time complexity of traversing a full M:tG game tree as O(b^m * n^m) = 2.272461391808129337799800881135e+5564 (where b the branching factor, m the average number of moves in a game and n the number of possible deck permutations for a 60 card deck taking into account cards included multiple times). And mine was probably a very conservative estimate.

Also, to my knowledge, Neural nets have not been used for magic-playing AI (or any other CCG playing AI). What has been used is MCTS, on its own, without terrible success. The best AI I've seen incorporates some domain knowledge, in the form of card-specific strategies (how to play a given card).

There are some difficulties in using ANNs to make an M:tG AI. Primarily, the fact that a truly competent player should be able to pick up a card it's never seen before and play it correctly (or decide whether to include it in a deck, if the goal is to also address deck-building). For this, the AI player will need to have at least some understanding of M:tG's language (ability text). It is my understanding that other modern games have equal requirements to understand some game context outside of the main rules, which complicates the traditional tactic of generating all possible moves, pruning some and choosing the best.

In any case what I meant to say is that people in AI have indeed considered other games besides the classical ones- but when we talk about "games" in AI we do mean the classics.
I am not an expert on either, but in general 3D printers lay out the material in thin layers (with each layer laid out line by line). Thus you have lots of potential seams everywhere two points laid at different times touch.

I think modern technologies prevent seams forming at most of those points, but the potential (impurities, dirt, etc.) still remains so must be tested.
I believe neither of the things you have concluded I believe. I'm just not convinced that it is a problem particular to tech. I think there is a bias caused by the fact that victims in tech are more likely to have blogs and conferences that involve drinking around campfires.

Agreed. It took a lot of guts to write this - and undoubtedly was not easy to make public given the reservations stated about protecting the victims involved. I applaud the author for her courage.

I would address one point in the piece around self-defence:

I looked at him, keeping a blank expression, and said “I am.” I had learned this attitude after many years working in tech, that knowing how to deliver pain and putting everyone on notice that you would, was a way to avoid harassment... I realized if he reached for me again I could pull him forward, bounce his face off my knee, then drive it into the ground.

While I'm relieved that the author of this piece was in a position to stop anything further happening, this is unlikely to work in most circumstances when confronted by someone who is substantially larger and stronger than you. It doesn't serve anyone to ignore that men are (on the whole) stronger than women -- and ignoring that (especially in the case of attempted assault) only risks being in a threatening position with the odds in the attacker's favour. The first piece of advice any self-defence student will hear is (and I'm sure this is obvious), try to keep a safe distance from harm when it is possible to do so.

The other thing I would add, and I expect to take quite a bit of rage for saying this, is that Robert Scoble should have the same opportunity that was afforded to Weinstein and McClure to come forward and either own up to or refute these claims. This is NOT me casting doubt on this story (for the record, I believe this happened as described, and is utterly abhorrent), it's simply that these accusations are so damning both personally and professionally, and of such significance, that I think the accused should be given the opportunity to address them.

Ideally these matters would be settled by the judicial system and not the court of public opinion, but there are a multitude of genuine reasons (some stated in the piece) as to why this cannot really happen with a scenario like this (for the record, I believe the author was right to speak up) and no matter what may or may not happen in the judicial system, some mud will stick regardless. Again, I'm not defending Scoble or this behaviour, I just think the accused should be given a chance to address the allegations before being marched to the gallows - and I'm scared of what it says about the rest of us if we don't allow for that.

On a side note, I had no idea this problem was as widespread as it clearly is, and it's disgusting. I can't imagine what it must be like to be assaulted like this once in a lifetime let alone more than that, and clearly there's a lot of work that needs to be done to stop this happening in future, and harsher visible punishment of attackers when it happens as a deterrent.
Apart from hydro power as a very steady energy source, we also have thousands of years of history of using another arbitrarily controllable renewable resource: wood. We even processed wood to turn it into coal. And in the absence of trees we could have been burning other plants.

Granted, the amount of wood you can extract within a decade from an area without turning it into a desert or grassland is limited, but in the last 400 years we turned our focus more and more on sustainable forestry and as a result got quite good at using wood in a renewable, carbon-neutral way.

I don't buy "creating a billion-dollar business".

Ive read a Bloomberg story on the IPO and saw there two hilarious sequences
"MongoDB has 4,300 paying customers. MongoDB employs 820 people in 29 offices" - that does not compute (for me) so I started analyzing their financial report (btw funny is nobody in whole HN discussion quoted numbers from the report so far, but a lot of 'im buying their stock' talks here).

In the report, scroll to the bottom where they put some cream: they show for last year 91m rev from subscriptions plus 10m from services. While at the same time they show operating LOSS of 85 millions (due to cost, people, marketing, sales, services etc).
Khem khem, I know they are growing (holy world) but no, that does not compute.

Of course it is just mine opinion, and looking on the IPO results, rather unpopular one :) but I will stand by it. Especially in next 3 years. Caveat emptor.

I will short them soon.

> I believe neither of the things you have concluded I believe.

Good on you, but that does not change that this is very much the way your original statement comes across as.

> I'm just not convinced that it is a problem particular to tech.

Cool cool cool, I happen to agree with that, and even think that — assuming it's even possible to objectively quantify the problem — there are probably other industries much worse off than tech (as oft-repeated, the "casting couch" has been a long-standing "joke" in movie and TV).

However expressing that statement in a discussion following from witness testimony about the problem being observed in the tech industry helps fighting the problem… how?

At no point does the article state that the issue is exclusive to the tech industry, and your comment is the highest-rated one which infers one such claim, the next one (by user Spooky23) merely asking about it.

It's not much of a kernel. More like a self-contained bare-metal application. Main goal of a kernel is to provide services to applications.

Although starting coding right away and getting tangible results is somewhat rewarding, it would be nice to see core concepts of designing a kernel mentioned in a "Kernel 101" article:

* How to choose between monolithic/micro/nano architecture?

* What are primary goals and use cases?

* What hardware should it abstract away in HAL?

* How to design userland-kernel and drivers-kernel API/ABI?

* How much isolation is needed and what are ways to provide it?

The syntax and title reminds me of standard Pascal, which has very constrained pointers that, among other things, you can't do arithmetic with --- eventually leading to code that basically reinvents memory itself by using a large array and lots of indexing operations.

Post-Scarcity Economics (2013)
The SETI FAQ says that in the right circumstances, we might detect some of the closest ones, so the OP's statement is not contradicted.
True. But in popular culture it's not depicted in the same proportion at all. Right? How is it in reality there, comparatively?

PS. Why the down-votes?

I am not asking directly to @logicchains (I can't edit that comment now so adding it here). I am really perplexed. I was not trolling or being offensive (hope I didn't turn out to be so) and it is one of the aspects of western culture I don't understand and tried to understand it from the people who live there or have been there since I noticed a comment on the same lines (or perceived so). Also I assumed there would be lots of (ex) grad students here. I was thinking is there intimidation, misleading, fear of losing career chances involved in such relationships (and a whole lot of things)?

I have noticed this quite a few times. Comment down-voted that were neither offensive, nor unconstructive (I would like to know if mine was either of these or something else and learn from my mistakes).

I have recently got the ability to down-vote (seeing the up and down arrows both) and I hardly down-vote (on other forums too I've the same habit). Am I doing it wrong? The saying that "don't down-vote just because you disagree or don't like something" is just for saying and in practice we should just down-vote based on whims and likes? Or is there a methodology to it?

I've had about 20 spinning drives fail on me in the past 25 years or so. The more I can keep spinning drives out of my life, the happier I am, generally.

You're right about the volume of data written; it's nearly as much as read, likely due to continuously syncing browsers - I leave my desktop on 24/7, and run 2 browsers, all of which probably doesn't help. It doesn't add up to an argument for high IOPS though.

I chose the Samsung drive primarily because of all the stories about premature SSD failures - all the drives I've bought have either been Intel or Samsung. I got this model because it was the 1TB option that was both SSD and either Samsung or Intel.

I cannot tell you how many days I've wasted replacing disks in home raid arrays, or before that recovering data from backups. I'm also done with trying to shuffle data between tiny SSDs and large spinning disks based on required speed of access. I keep all my bulky files on my ZFS NAS, but I don't worry about how many apps or games I have installed - 1T has, for now, been more than enough.

My conclusion is that women generally value "love" and a serious relationship over casual encounters because a somewhat high degree of trust is a prerequisite for female orgasm to occur.

So, when a woman is trying to arrange a relationship, she is really just trying to get off. It just isn't as readily apparent as the male process because the timeframe is longer and the process is more convoluted.
Thanks, I learned something new today.
One reason would be that the browser will cache them if they are used in multiple sites, so loading will be much faster on subsequent sites using the same resources. Another might be that such resources load faster off a CDN than your own server.
I think it's better to look at the market for your profile and decide what to add in the title. And it's not lying. From what I know different companies use different job description/hierarchies. I have seen companies use:

Software Engineer

Software Consultant

Technical Consultant

Associate Engineer

Associate Consultant

Member of Technical Staff

Software Development Engineer

to name a few, which effectively have the same job profile/description.

Then there is the trend of adding "2" to the job role. This helps stoke people's ego by making them believe they have progressed in a new designation but it is confusing.

The "Software Development Engineer 2" can be equivalent to a Senior Engineer in another company.

Then there is confusing titles like "Staff Engineer", specially in semiconductor companies, which to an untrained recruiter is equivalent to the "Member of Technical Staff".

In my personal opinion, recruiters should stop looking at the titles and talk to candidates before rejecting any one.
It's an understandable mistake though.

The approach was also more constructivist. Old mechanical vids (say differential gears) starts with a lever, torque (quite intuitive), then a crossbar, then more crossbar until well.. you have gears. It connects very human actions (lever) to geometry (gears, rotation).

Computing machinery and intelligence
I think you're explaining yourself clearly, and of I know this is a common way of treating marxism in academia. I know you were taught it this way, as was I. But, I think it is suspicious nonetheless. Reading Marx makes me wonder why we arrived at objectifying and extermalizing his work like this. If we are thinking of Marx's work and his 'philosophy', we are critiquing class and capitalism. If we are critiquing class and capitalism, we are foolish to think our critiques are only worthy when applied to others. Of course, this point could hardly be more apparent than in the faculty's current predicaments. Marxist theory would have illuminated the trajectory many years ago had they the wits to apply the thought to their own situation. I don't feel very sorry for them myself. I've got my student loans to pay off and my university faculty members could never seem to care much less. When I was in school, talking about my student loan problems was looked down on as 'showing my class.'
>> not sure HN celebrates products for simply being successfully marketed

Except that Mongo didn't find success through "simply being successfully marketed". So many people in this thread cannot seem to understand how to look at the business as a whole. Software devs are blasting the software for not being a mind-blowing piece of technology, while not understanding that it has its niche and - apparently - a good business strategy.

You cannot (typically) succeed by only having an amazing product. You also (typically) cannot succeed by dumping millions into sales and marketing for a truly garbage product. The product itself and the business behind it are both necessary elements for success.

There are a lot of developers in this thread trying very hard to appear smart by jumping on the "Mongo is a joke" bandwagon.
There are others, they just made a quick U turn when they could see us afar.
Doesn't seem like a particularly complex case to me.

Facts not up for debate: the developer of Dash enrolled two accounts in the ADP with the same credit card, and these accounts shared at least one test device.
One of these accounts participated in obvious fraudulent activity.

Unfortunately, nobody is around to corroborate Bogdan's side of the story. As far as we know, Bogdan made up his supposed relative/friend (ala "I didn't send that embarrassing text to my crush - it was my asshole friend!") to escape blame. And even if his side of the story is true, how is he not partially culpable for the fraud? By enrolling an account with his credit card and giving it to someone else, he enabled them to commit fraud on the App Store. If I buy a gun and give it to my brother and he shoots someone, am I not partially responsible for that outcome?

It's not quite damning enough for me to not use Dash, but it doesn't exactly give me faith in Dash's developer either.
