> If you were correct, then women should have economic parity with men. They don't.

Every statistic I've seen seems to indicate that modulo life choices that seem correlated with gender (ie, on average women prefer different things to men, though individuals vary greatly), there is economic parity between men and women (in most developed nations, but I'm most familiar with the US).

There are some very real issues with the direction that women are steered by society, but there are also some real issues that men face (eg, school, legal system, etc).

However, there's also a non-trivial number of women (in places like the US) who blame sexism for the consequences of choices they've had to make in life between things that they want, and seem to treat it as an affront to their gender that they're not treated as catered princesses by the world -- getting to have every want. And then hide that behind talking about "economic parity".

> The exact details may vary a bit, but the feminization of poverty is a phrase in our lexicon for a reason.

Doesn't this mostly have to do with poor women being forced to carry the economic burden of many children in developing nations?

It's also definitely not a common term to use -- which makes me think that you likely have a biased view from hanging out in a very polarized, niche crowd.

> But I feel pretty worn down and hopeless of late.

As a fellow human, are you sure you're not inventing a narrative that's worse than the truth, and then stressing yourself out battling phantoms? (This is something I do all the time, on issues small to large.)

There are real issues in the world -- quite serious ones, at that. But modern charities and other social purpose organizations deploy weaponized psychology meant to send you into an emotional state in order to boost their funding (or membership, but really power), and the consequence of everyone doing this "for the right reasons" is a completely toxic society, polarized in righteous anger over every issue to the point its emotionally burnt out and fragmented. This habit has even been exploited by foreign states to attack the nation. (True for virtually every country, and definitely all of the European and "Western" ones.)

This is quite possibly the best of times on any of those issues, so instead of worrying about how you're going to feed every woman in Africa with too many kids (hint: you won't), just try to focus on what's the next small step that you can take to fix one of the issue a little. Then do that.

That's something you can actually do right now, won't exhaust you even if you have to do it for the rest of your life, and would completely fix the problem if everyone would just stop panicking and do that.
> They are also employed in jobs where they are allowed to do these things in work time. They are not heads down workers.

This, 100%. The big names in Tech are definitely not heads-down engineers or aren't on a daily basis. They are paid to travel the country/world, give talks and write books because they are a passive inbound sales engine. Talks, books, etc. generate a LOT of inbound revenue because they establish credibility.

Visit their LinkedIn profiles sometime. You'll notice that a giant swath of those big names don't report to Engineering; they report to Sales/Marketing.
+1 it's superb. Some of the songs not available here eg Hey Hey My My or whatever it's called. But still, awesome.
See? Got me figured out from a label.

I didn’t miss your point. The part that made that comment horrible is “you’re not allowed to come over until you stop peeing on my couch,” like human beings with a regrettable, painful, mortifyingly embarrassing condition are untrained dogs to you. Like it’s something they can just stop. That’s what you said: figure it out, then I’ll let you sit on my couch. I considered the possibility that I misinterpreted you here, then noticed that I wasn’t the only one, if so.

Then you did the exact same thing here, too. “Stop splitting.” “Decide to stop hurting people.” “Just flick off this light switch that’s taken years of therapy to even understand, buddy! Just live! Just be!” Okay, Julia. You’re talking about serious, life changing journeys that require a lot of help and support along the way, and paying them the same respect as taking the car through the wash.

I’m not blind to my impact on other people. As is typical in armchair psychologists, you missed the entire part of my comment where I talk about how intensely aware I am of my impact on others. That’s this entire comment: oh, he has this condition, let me ignore everything he said and talk to him with my years of psychological training. Maybe that will get through.

I’m not splitting with you and acknowledge that I know nothing about your pain or journey. I know only what you’ve chosen to share in commentary here, and brother, it’s enough of a display of malempathy to make me conclude that your opinion matters very little to me. I didn’t even need my disorder to make that determination. The follow up didn’t do a lot to help.
I am one of those early employees.

When GM bought us we were given three Milestones to reach. The first Milestone was supposed to be delivered this time last year. We failed to deliver. We didn't have the basis for a real self-driving car. Just a demo (enough to make GM buy us).

So the Milestones were divided up. A year after we should have delivered that first Milestone we have hand-coded enough special cases that GM believes we're about half way through that first Milestone. We're not.

I take GM's money but I know we're lying to them. As an engineer I'm embarrassed by the system we've built.

What else do you want to know? Ask me.
I'm not sure which system you're comparing to capitalism and communism to be honest.

Capitalism reward some dishonest behavior by its nature, because the ultimate reward is money (thinking of tax evasions, stealing..) . Communism also rewards some dishonest behavior, but not the same kind (it's more like work the least to earn the same)
The 6 universes are not equiprobable. 1+2, 3+4 and 5+6 are equiprobable (1/3 each). 1 and 2 are equiprobable (1/6 each), 3 and 6 are impossible (0 each), 4 and 5 are equiprobable (1/3 each). You should switch in 2/3 of the cases.
It feels like there's an angle missing to that story.
One has to assume there was a reason for that much agriculture being there in the first place and a reason why it suddenly wasn't in such a high demand anymore, it can't just all be "lack of labor" because then people would probably have starved due to the lack of agricultural products being available.

>By contrast, the people who can't program are on the job market all the time. So, the job market is heavily skewed towards people not good enough to hire.

People should be allowed to leave the industry for some amount of time without being marked as damaged goods.

In fact, based on how poorly technical interviews have evolved, I have no faith that a hiring manager wouldn't just blindly ignore all candidates with an employment gap on their record after reading posts similar to yours, and that really is a damn shame. It's not a humane practice.
Fair point. Balanced answer. Can't argue.
Everyone in your cohort may also assume that you will be the one to tell those doing due diligence because you aren't covered by an NDA and it happened to you?

Genuinely curious: how would studying maths solve your specialist/generalist dilemma?
It takes time for children to grow up and affect economic growth, so it doesn't make sense to associate growth during the time the policy was in effect. There are also confounding variables, such as starting from a poorer position, which allows for more growth in the first place.
Well I find it more interesting...

Also C compilers can do a lot of micro optimizations that are not trivial, so compiling something to C or maybe LLIR seems like a better choice.
Probability theory requires a solid grounding in real analysis. Undergraduate real analysis alone is one year worth of material, and this is assuming that you already know how to write basic proofs. If all you know is some calculus tricks, as taught to engineering students, then you can probably compute probabilities, but you aren't ready to understand probability theory.

Fortunately, most users of statistical tests don't really need to know probability theory anyway. This even includes some statisticians.
Here's a short list of some ideas I like to share when we start doing any "agile transformation" work with organizations and teams:

1) Recognize the difference of being "busy" vs "effective"

2) Work-in-Progress = Waste (until it's done - so 1 thing done is better than 1000 "in-progress")

3) Multitasking doesn't work

4) Parkinson's Law: perceived work will expand to the time you allot it. Break it up and set short deadlines.

5) Pareto's Law: 80% of the value is from 20% of the "features". Many things over that base 20% can be skipped or not undertaken yet still provide value.

6) Empowerment Failure: outsource some tasks but don't micromanage. Let smart people make decisions and help them learn how to do so.

7) Email: check it 1-2 times per day at a set time.

“Get off the cocaine pellet dispenser and focus on the execution of your top to-do’s instead of responding to manufactured emergencies.”
– Tim Ferriss (The 4-hour Workweek)

8) Meetings: stop them whenever possible. Insist on agendas beforehand from the organizer when it's not possible to escape.

“Meetings are an addictive, highly self-indulgent activity that corporations and other large organizations habitually engage in only because they cannot actually masturbate.”

“If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be ‘meetings.'”

– Dave Barry (Pulitzer prize-winning columnist/humorist)

It appears to be available on a few other models as well (searching 'site:dell.com "ME inoperable"' brings up service tags for a few non-rugged Latitudes and a couple of Optiplexes), despite it not being an option on their configurators.

I wonder if this means that it's also possible to disable ME on those machines after purchase (without triggering Boot Guard)?

Dell only offers a single download per firmware version per model (or group of models) to cover all configurations, so presumably it contains multiple images (i.e. AMT-enabled, AMT-disabled, ME-disabled), and the updater just uses ME status or DMI data to determine the correct one.

If that's the case, then surely it should be as simple as manually extracting and flashing the ME-disabled image, right? That's assuming it's actually included in the publicly available updaters, and that all of the images are signed with the same key, of course.
It can be a little of both.

> I suspect that if you've got problems with Slack, it means that there's a problem in the culture of where you work.

One can work somewhere that has a problem in the culture, and Slack can make that worse. It's been interesting to me to observe when my company changed from hipchat to slack, my productivity went down until I recognized how slack was messing me up (because of the default UI patterns it came with) and I've had to unwind that by changing a bunch of settings and patterns.

It's been a similar change when I moved from a company that used email and tickets for team communication, to one that uses chat.

Yes, the culture if the heart of the problems, but the tools can amplify those problems.

It's like if you can't cut a piece of wood effectively with a handsaw, but I give you a power saw, you may soon have much bigger problems on your hands. (or hand, if you really mess it up)
NUMERIC (without a precision or scale) is a variable-length datatype, and suffers all the performance problems mentioned above.

If you specify a precision and scale, performance of NUMERIC improves quite a bit, but now you can’t store values with vastly different magnitudes (USD and JPY) in the same column without wasting tons of storage on each row. You’re back to square one.

>3. Another easy solution is to have these ICOs hold the proceeds in escrow and release of funds quarterly for five years to the startups/projects and giving the investors the ability to refund half or 75% of their remaining commitment (i.e. a 25-50% penalty for leaving the project early).

I've seen something similar to this in another ICO. They set up an ethereum smart contract that would distribute 90% of funds raised to the project over 4 years. If an investor wanted out, they could send their tokens to the contract and (iirc) it would burn them and refund the investor with ETH at a 10% haircut to the original buy price. Alas can't quite remember the ICO or the exact details (it was in a random whitepaper I read).

> 1. (...) Go google how to do basic significance calculations in, say, Excel. The first paragraph of the resulting articles will dive into t-test and twin-tales and P-values and on down the lines.

Understanding significance calculations and performing them in Excel are completely different things, and it's perfectly reasonable for a learning resource to cover one of them but not the other. Software developers, the primary target audience of this website, should know this as “separation of concerns”.

> 2. (...) Software needs to bridge the gap between users' intent and their ability to do the analysis.

All statistical software can do for you is perform calculations. The meaning of the results or even the calculations themselves is completely up to you. You can even decide it's meaningless!

> 3. (...) Your c-suite doesn't care about that: it cares about the so-what.

This is exactly the problem. People want to make the right decisions, but they don't want to take the trouble to understand how reality's complexity affects the outcomes of these decisions.
Self-reply: It is adjustable in most electric cars at, variously, up to 0.2g or 24 kW of regenerative braking power. This is actually significantly higher than typical engine braking in a gas powered manual transmission vehicle. Engine braking can keep up with low-power, light braking to adjust following distance on highways, and can limit acceleration on a downhill if you downshift to force the motor to run at 3/4k RPMs on a steep hill, and can eventually bring a vehicle to a stop. Regenerative braking can be equivalent to typical braking forces for day-to-day driving, depending on battery capacity and charge level allowing the required power dissipation to be in the range of safe charging rates.

(Note: By "Engine braking" I'm referring to throttle retardation in a typical non-diesel engine, not jake brakes on big diesels. I have no idea how powerful those are.)

Do you have anything productive to add, such as responding directly to my dissection of the lack of empathy I’m talking to, or are you just projecting your brother onto me because you think you understand a label?

If I didn’t give a shit, I wouldn’t be trying to explain it to him. Rebukes are based in corrective intent. If this were really a “BPD moment” (sigh) I would have split him to irrelevance and ignored him like he doesn’t matter to me. But I believe people can change, and I think a disregard for the suffering of other people is something that’s a little easier to change than others. Even yours. Your brother deserves it.

This is the first time I’ve ever acknowledged my condition online. I’m already regretting it, based on the labeling dismissal of my opinions.

With today's computers you can get a lot done without knowing t distribution and p-values, just using bootstrap and Monte-Carlo. See 93 conversions in test and 87 in control and want to know if this is just noise? Pull 10,000 bootstrap samples and look at the distribution. You can even do it in Excel if you want, but writing a loop in any programming language is not that difficult either.
I'm honestly curious in why you think it's likely there are no genetic differences. Everyone accepts physical attributes, most people accept the brain is responsible for consciousness and personality and is a physical object.

Would it not be completey bizarre if there were zero differences in the one most complex organ we do not understand?

Would you argue that no group of people are taller? Or could run faster? Or perhaps have varying levels of visual acuity? What would cause such differences to suddenly just completely stop because it's related to the brain?

Practice-wise, it astounds me how many people/institutions expect different results from everyone else while hewing to the same practices as everyone else. Why do you think you'll be the exception? Why can't you look at the reality of what is working and what isn't?

This applies to so many areas of life, but it is extremely pronounced in business, where everyone cargo cults every little practice of AmaGooFaceSoft and believes that is what made them who they are. It's like there's an extreme deficit of original thought.
This is just another example of the American political discourse. You have two sides that don't even accept the same facts or reality.
