Well it doesn't have to be one or the other. It doesn't have to be either intimidation _or_ sexism. It can be both. She was being intimidated because she wasn't respected and seen as lesser. I'd say this part really ties in the sexism to the intimidation:

Basically, yes. We expend an enormous amount of effort making sure aid gets to the "right" people, and we have a track record of rescinding it when those people change their opinions to ones we don't like.

> I don't think I twisted or misrepresented anything, and no one seems to be suggesting the anything was actually misrepresented

No, that is what I'm suggesting. Your comment reads as a quote. After reading it, I went to the linked page and looked around for the context. Turns out, there was no context for that quote, because it's not a quote, because those words aren't actually in the original text.
Those (apocryphal?) stories are exactly the wrong way to think about how the IBM 1401's line printer works. The line printer has a chain with all the characters that whips around very fast, but it is cleverly designed so you only fire one hammer at a time - it's not even possible to fire multiple hammers at once. The chain spacing is slightly off from the print position spacing (think a vernier scale), so there's only one chain position and print position lined up at any instant. A tiny movement of the chain shifts the alignment to a different character / print position, and so forth, so the potential print position shifts through the line much, much faster than the actual chain movement. Thus, every 11.1 microseconds, a single chain position lines up with a single print position; the 1401 fetches the corresponding character from memory and if it matches the chain's character the hammer fires.

If the chain spacing matched the print column spacing (what the stories describe), you'd fire a bunch of hammers at once, wait while the chain moves one position, fire a bunch more hammers, and so forth. This is much less efficient, since most of the time you're not doing anything. The 1401's approach also makes the circuitry simpler, since it only needs to check one character against one hammer at a time, rather than checking 132 characters at once.

The 1401's printer is actually even more tricky: the chain spacing and hammer spacing are almost in a 3:2 ratio, so each minuscule movement of the chain moves the alignment by 3 print positions and 2 chain positions. So you're never printing two chain positions consecutively. By the time the chain has moved enough for the alignment point to wrap around three times, the chain has moved one character's width and is ready to start again with the next character. 48 of these cycles gives each character one chance to be printed in each column, completing printing of one line. This all takes just 80 milliseconds.

The line printing mechanism is difficult to understand, so I made an animation to show what's happening: http://ibm-1401.info/KenShirriff-1403Animation.html

I think all the bitcoin fans making this out to be a big deal is kind of funny. The volume of futures exchanges shits on any of the fly-by-night bitcoin exchanges. Professional traders don’t google CBOE to look at marketing material, lol.
Good for you, I am sure you have saved thousands of dollars per year on time thieves.

Sadly, programmers are an unrully bunch, and your employees surely find other ways to procrastinate and loose time on your dime, but at least they become more interesting human beings while doing so.

If you balance pay vs. skill and the rarity of such an incredible web game...things are quite the way they should be. Reality. No one is going to pay an average web developer to care that much because they themselves do not care enough to invest in the talent or the time involved.
I agree with you. We apologise for this. We have indeed changed our mind and we do think it is best to focus on the community and curation of content.

It's not about how poor or rich the state is, but what percentage of people live in poverty. The poverty definition used is living for less than 50% of median income in the area (in this case state) so it's more of an income inequality measure.
I’ve found climate stuff attracts the emotional vote.
I'm not sure how extreme a claim you are making. What you wrote could also be interpreted as asserting that the status quo (macho, competitive, whatever) should be preserved because of the contribution made by guys who thrive on that. And that it's too bad if some other people choose not to contribute as a result.

I can't imagine how collaborators on a single codebase could self-select into different groups with different communication styles. By Conway's Law, the codebase would have to be restructured and factored into parts that the groups could work on in relative isolation. This is a big architectural obligation to incur for the sake of preserving some casual braggadocio or competitive inconsiderateness.
I was greeted with this injected advertising a few weeks ago and was floored. And yet here I am stuck in a contract, with no good alternatives even if I weren’t.
I think I worked out what my actual problem is here: pride.

I work on a platform partly inspired by Heroku and which consequently deals with many of the same problems. I am intimately aware of how much work has been required to build that platform and expand its capabilities.

It is hard to read someone saying they have replaced Heroku and not feel annoyance, because it downplays the enormous amount of careful engineering that Heroku and its competitors represent.

In fact Americans are inexplicably voting for the absolute worst proponents of capitalist corruption.

I have been playing around with an idea for a programming language that enables practical theorem proving.

The core idea behind it is that statically proven assertions would be really powerful.

Loop invariants can be simply expressed as an assertion inside the loop.

Additionally, to give it a bit more power; assertions could be given the ability to act over sets (say over all ints).

This might look something like

XY = {int, int}

@assert commutative
fn add(a XY, b XY) XY {
return (a[0]+b[0], a[1] + b[1])
}

fn commutative<a,b>(f (a,a)b){
assert x,y: f(x,y) == f(y,x)
}

And then it would also be helpful to add on assertions to types so assignments to variables also checks the assertions

order = enum {greater, equal, lesser}
comparator<a> = (a,a)order

fn sorted<a>(pair ([]a,comparator<a>))bool {
(l, cmp) = pair
if l.length() <= 1 {
return true
}
return cmp(l[0],l[1]) != order.greater & sorted((l[1:],cmp))
}

SortedList<a> = ([]a,(a,a)order) & sorted

There are a few major issues with my idea currently (it really requires dependent types to be ergonomic and allocation and pointers could be strange) which have prevented me from making a quick demo compiler or language spec. But I would be very excited to discuss it.
Indeed. And for all anyone knows Intel already has permission from the university.

Anytime anyone makes snide HN comments like "oh you can't understand why neural networks make predictions" the correct response should always be "why doesn't LIME work in your specific case".

LIME is being used within the EU to explain credit decisions and fraud detection flagging on neural network based models, which is quite a high bar to regulatory oversight to pass.
Well, if it weren't I would connect everything I own to that guest access point and bypass my cap completely. Or perhaps the speed of that connection is very slow. But then it wouldn't be much use to other customers either.
>The US has the second-highest rate of poverty among rich countries (poverty here measured by the percentage of people earning less than half the national median income

That is a preposterous way to compare poverty between countries. By this definition, an American can make more money than a Frenchmen, but the former will be counted as poor and the latter not. And I reckon that we'd fair much better than the EU as a single entity under this standard.

Measuring food security by obesity rates is also dumb. Americans are fat because food is incredibly abundant, we have a cultural preference for junk food, and we are physically lazy. That says absolutely nothing about the availability of healthy food.

We are unhealthy individuals, but our health care system is the absolute best at treating diseases. We pay a lot for it because we’re the only developed country where the health care industry isn’t a monopsony (single or oligarchic purchaser).

Our child mortality and life expectancy are conflated with a large immigrant population and the existence of an underclass. If you equalize the results for diversity, America does just as well as the other developed countries.

And it is absurd to compare the entire US to tiny countries like Denmark or even medium sized ones like France. If you broke the US into regions, you’d probably get different results. I bet New England and the Pacific Northwest would be at the top of many of those categories.

Basically, this data is framed with a conclusion in mind and doesn’t account for how big, diverse, and unique the United States.
A voting system is already in place. Users can upvote or downvote resources according to what they like and think is useful.

Having some kind of reputation system is also a really good idea. You were thinking of having it similar to Reddit where you get `karma` for posting good resources?
This is a superb write up.

As an Emacs/ESS user, I was rather embarrassed/traumatized to see how well Ncm-R completion worked. I’d also somehow missed that there was a usable R LSP implementation around.
One might say that “liberals” (blue states) are already giving aid to Alabama and other impoverished “red” states through the disproportionate share of federal funds these red states get as compared to their federal tax revenue. Alamaba is #4 in the country for taking more than it gives.

You might look at Red Hat's OpenShift, which builds on top of Kubernetes. Or Deis, which has adopted buildpacks.

Cloud Foundry has buildpacks too, but it's usually seen as a heavyweight solution -- the light footprint variant is 6 VMs, the standard variant is 20-something.

Disclosure: I work for Pivotal, we contribute a lot to Cloud Foundry. Red Hat is a competitor.

At least that’s the scaling problem solved.
It’s worth being very alarmed. We are putting carbon into the atmosphere at a rate 6X greater than during the worst hyperthermal of the Eocene, which is the regime we are replicating. It’s noteworthy that sea levels (eustatic) were anywhere from 100 to 200 meters higher then, a combination of essentially all surface ice melting and the thermal expansion of water.

Even if you’re so optimistic that you think we can drive our own emissions down to less than 1/6th current levels, feedback loops are have started driving non-anthropogenic carbon into the atmosphere that we have zero ability to control.

Another supporting data point is that most reef-dwelling species experienced an “anomalous” mass extinction during this period and not coincidentally we are seeing the same effects already in today’s oceans.

Some people say climate change scientists are being alarmist. In fact they are being very conservative and the data is scarier than what is reported.

We will have a reputation system for users in the future.

As to why you may want to contribute. If you use the website and you find value in it, you can always make it better not only for yourself but for others. Only here, not only can you add links and resources but you can also directly add features and new things as the entire code base is Open Source and thus anyone can edit/fork and make what they want with it for all other people to enjoy.
In your case, I do agree that it was obviously not a literal quote. However, by the time I joined the thread, the topic had become more generalized.

Still, it would have been clearer to say something like "Exactly. And the response, which amounts to 'we're not trying to sell you a modem, we're just encouraging you to strongly consider buying a new one', is such a hair-splittingly asinine response considering the rather serious breach of trust posed by the notification system."

Also, for what it's worth, I do agree 100% with your argument there :)

Regarding 2:

- Companies that work on climate cooling solutions, e.g. carbon capture from air, cow fart capture (cows are a big source of methane).

- Companies that produce devices that reduce/filter emissions.

- Companies that produce (components of) renewable energy devices, e.g. solar cells, wind turbines. Once the first climate catastrophies strike repeatedly and the severity of the situation sinks in, politicians (at least in Europe) will go full throttle on renewable energy and sack fossil fuels, lost jobs be damned.

- Companies that genetically engineer crops/animals/food because they are the ones most likely to create adapted organisms for harsh environments.

Regarding 1:

On YouTube some big oil company had an ad campaign that showed them as the renewable energy leader of tomorrow. All white, clean, green. The oil companies knew about climate change since at least the 1970s. They will turn their back on oil when there is no profit to be made anymore but they won’t die, they will adapt and are already beginning. Shorting them is not a good idea.
Read again exactly what I commented to, the last line of the article, specifically: "Was it the flames of Sappho’s burning love that ultimately put her own work on the bonfire?"

Could you believe that that line to me sounded just like "was it the beautiful color of the skirt she wore that ultimately had her raped and killed"? Yes, I do feel I belong to the "oppressed" group in this very case, being an atheist. Try to consider this from my point of view.

Also note that here we talk about the poet whose place of birth gave the name to the "lesbians" and who was highly acclaimed for the quality of her poems. But the poems disappeared once a religion which gave us

started to spread. Note that the scholarly consensus is that Paul authored that Epistle to the Romans, that is, it is considered one of the very earliest Christian writings, predating all the gospels! Think about it: the lines against the lesbians were written down before the accounts of the deeds of "the savior."

Nevertheless, to that "maybe she deserved it" line I've just responded with what is the common knowledge among those who are familiar with the history of these periods, and even supported by the research of the article writer, locating the source for the claim much more specific than what I've claimed. There are also effectively no other causes that are presented as responsible for disappearance of Sapho's work, or which wouldn't match my claim. You can read my longer comment here for more details.

The bid is the highest price of all open buy orders. If you're selling, this is the maximum price you can make a sell order for and have your order instantly filled.

The ask is the lowest price of all open sell orders. If you're buying, this is the minimum price you can make a buy order for and have your order instantly filled.
That's a fantastic animation. It would have been incredibly useful back in the day.
From a mugger's point of view you are a walking wallet, why would he not take yor money?

You'd say it is illegal to steal, but if you expected even one out of ten neighbours to be a thief, just like you expect every corporation to be corrupt, there would be not enough police officers and courts to handle all the crime. Hell, if society had gone down to that, you'd have to worry more about being robbed by a cop than by some random neighbour!!!

Laws are minimal expectations of compliance to morals. Successful societies are those where a significant percentage of the population hold themselves (and their neighbours) to much higher standards. You are doing a profound disservice to yourself and your peers by giving a free pass to jerk corporations just because they seem (or pretend) to follow the letter of the law most of the time.
Except real people work at these places and make decisions to do shitty things.
I agree, this is part of the "gig" economy gone bad. I think the solution is quite simple though. All contracts must also include a minimum wage (not saying this is the US minimum wage currently) per hour. This sets a floor and forces more of the cost back up the chain. It fixes the problem of someone forcing minimally bid contracts to people who are desperate for any kind of work. We have great algorithms and the computing to calculate "fair" amounts of time for delivery including traffic data and time of day that can also be extremely optimized for efficiency. Then the contract is for X hours at Y wage plus (maybe?) a bonus per delivery.

We complain about sweatshops making sneakers in abusive conditions but say cynical things like "... people don't have to take these jobs ..." when it comes to having parcels delivered right to our door so we don't even have to leave the house. I think it only fair we take a stand that these people deserve a decent living for delivering our (frequently frivolous) purchases.
Thank you for these 30 bullet points with no description or further detail other than 'do this'. Some are pretty common-sense, others not, and for these merely saying it's "best practice" with no extra detail, links or accompanying reasoning is not enough.
Your second theory is correct. The first sale doctrine does not apply when the initial copy was not lawfully made, at least under the US Copyright Act. Without that exception, section 501 imposes strict liability for infringement. It doesn't require that the plaintiff allege or prove knowledge or bad faith.

The reason for this might be more obvious in the context of something more obviously infringing, such as bootleg DVD movies. A plaintiff can hold the reseller of the bootleg DVDs liable just as it could the manufacturer. That's desirable since the manufacturer could be judgement-proof (e.g., fly by night company). And we wouldn't want the copyright owner to have to prove that the reseller knew the DVDs were bootlegs.

In the case of distributing Intel CPUs, the principle isn't as obviously applicable as it is to bootleg DVDs, but it still applies. So, the resellers could be held liable for copyright infringment as well.

That being said, since Intel isn't a fly-by-night operation like a manufacturer of bootleg DVDs, the copyright owner can just go after Intel directly.
And subjecting yourself to personally tailored brainwash to buy garbage you don't need all while wasting your time and making yourself unhappy.
Needs error handling for unsupported browsers, which seems to be anything other than bleeding edge latest browser version. Can't get past "enter name", it just sits there doing nothing.

This but based on Kubernetes/Deis would be a huge thing. This project feels like may be fun, but not industrial strength. A bit like Dokku and Dokku-alt some times back.

There something called Minikube also right? Maybe that would also be great to integrate.

Maybe OpenStack's interface could even be used as a starting point.

Oh, and I frown at the use of JS where it is not mandated. Looking at the K8s/Deis community it seems Go is the favorite, and I find it a much more defendable choice for serious infra projects. (sorry will stop about JS now)

Reading back I gave some comments (and even a JS nag), but I mostly want to say that I love the project from what I see on the README. Very well done REAMDE. And I love this LetsEncrypt feature (Deis has is identified as cool feature as well -- https://github.com/deis/workflow/issues/708 )
No, I grew up around rural Victoria and my family is from NSW.

Why are things so bad for them in NT? I was under the impression they had much better access to welfare and education than the rest of us. Am I wrong? Are they not partaking of it? Are they discriminated against and unable to find housing/schooling?
