Another thing I notice is that sometimes the condemnations remark that the perpetrator was old, ugly, gross, and/or bald. The implication is that it's ok to be aggressive if you're handsome.
Suppose an attorney for the Electronic Frontier foundation posts an article or opinion piece on a digital rights legal issue. This has happened many times and I don’t remember ever seeing anyone call them a shill, yet they are a professional person paid to argue on these issues in public and in court. How is that different from advertising? How about legal experts on human rights? Environmental activism? Is anyone working for Greenpace as a lawyer or scientific adviser an environmentalist shill? If not, then how can we use that slur against people working for energy companies?

I’m not some corporatist shill making this argument. I’m just making a liberal plea for tolerance and respect in public discourse.

Legal experts on many different sides of many different debates have a reasonable expectation to have their opinions and arguments heard in public without harassment, abuse and intimidation. However there is a reasonable expectation of disclosure of such interests.

The argument in this specific case seems to be n the amount of detail in the disclosure, but the fact is he was a Democrat appointee and he works for a law firm that represents Comcast. There was an attempt at some level of disclosure and he wasn’t actually acting as an attorney for Comcast. I don’t think this is as big a deal as is being made about it.
Thank you for your response. What do you mean by GraphQL's "the ability to write/update data is more limited"?

Firefox really benefits from WebASM: the time per frame is ~90ms on my machine whereas the JS version is close to 400ms or so.

On the other hand, on Chrome the WebASM performance is ~100ms and JS is just a tiny bit slower at around 120ms!

> The point is that with AIM (or instant messenger, generally), you knew who was up for chatting. If someone wasn't up for chatting, they either would have an away message or wouldn't be signed on at all.

That's an interesting feature I think, but nothing is preventing that to be implemented on a new or current chat program. It would solve the distraction problem of always being available and online.
That's exactly what's happening. But the FCC does not have the power to do that because that falls under the jurisdiction of the FTC.

They announced this a few days ago [0]. NN would have nationalized the internet which is the opposite of what we want. But everyone is spreading FUD online and calling for title II clasification. We don't want the government controlling the internet. We want them preventing bad business practices that hurt consumers (i.e. break up monopolies). The FCC can't do that, but they can work with the FTC who can.

So if the coin's market cap were higher than Intel's, you could buy Intel and use the SGX master keys to establish rogue nodes and take over the network.

In fact this is no better at all than if Intel were simply running the MobileCoin service as a centralized provider/bank.

They are both risk management decisions, so I don't get the "exact opposite" explanation. I suspect it cuts both ways.

I've commented on studies like that on HN before, but you have to read them very carefully. They are invariably written by people who wanted to reach a particular conclusion before they started.

In this case there are two problems.

1) They ignored unprofitable companies in their analysis. If more women in leadership roles were to increase the variability of profitability/loss making, their analysis would show only that it increased profitability.

2) Like all such studies they don't restrict to countries that don't have gender quotas. Some rich countries have imposed artificial quotas to get women into leadership roles, e.g. Norway is named in the article. Well, if you take rich successful countries and then force women into leadership roles by legal decree, it will appear that there is a correlation between more women and more success. But it's a correlation/causation problem.

I've never seen a study of this issue that didn't strike me as being artificially set up to reach the authors preferred conclusions.
don't worry dude, I've already fixed it.
Wow. I can't tell if you're a middle-schooler, a troll or Milo.

If you trust Intel.

In that case, why not use a centralized ledger operated by Intel? It would certainly be more efficient, and no less trust-worthy. You even eliminate a whole bunch of side-channel attack vectors on the MobileCoin software such as memory access patterns, heat dissipation patterns, timing analysis, and failure modes such as total compromise of SGX.
I think part of the reason Segwit2x failed is that, ultimately, mining wasn't as centralized as everyone assumed. Its proponents had the backing of the major mining pools who controlled the vast majority of the mining power - or so they thought - but it turned out enough of the actual miners had views too and were happy to switch pools to express them that it suddenly looked a lot more precarious than expected.

To me this is a serious comment. In my social circles asking before kissing is the norm. I too thought it would kill the romance, but if anything it amplifies it. In asking you show vulnerability, show that you respect the other person, and when the other person agrees it is pretty great.

FWIW - I wouldn't normally say "can I kiss you", I'd normally say something like "Sooo, I'd like to kiss you now" (assuming we'd be chatting for a while). And they'd respond along the lines of "I'd like that too", or "No, but thank you".

There is also a secret to be had here – As a man dating women, seeking consent is a secret weapon. It may feel weird to do, but my experience is that women respond exceptionally well to it.

As an example, I think the gender balance of our social circles has changed over the last few years. I often find myself to be the only guy around the dinner table.

Get consent, treat women as the human beings they are and things will go pretty well.

PS. Also, asking is so much easier. Much less dancing around the subject.

An additional note for posterity here...one of the main reasons Microsoft was interested in acquiring Interactive Supercomputing was that ISC developed it's own M-language (Matlab) compiler M# built on Mono/.NET...basically a faster Matlab replacement than Octave, using features like multiple dispatch. One of the primary developers of the M# compiler at ISC was Jeff Bezanson, co-creator of Julia.

Exie used a bit of code from M#. When Exie was cancelled, the libraries were given a C#/F# facelift as Cloud Numerics, which was eventually cancelled, and then given a GUI facelift as part of the initial version of AzureML.

Disclaimer: I previously worked at Interactive Supercomputing, was part of the team acquired into Technical Computing/HPC at Microsoft, and also worked at Julia Computing.
> If BTC (or BCH) is going to be used at Visa/Mastercard scale then the transactions need to happen off-chain. The Lightning Network is the answer here

There is a lot of technical complexity to this, and no real working proof at scale (AFAIK there is no production implementation even at a small scale).

Lightning Network at scale will involve routing problems between coinholders analogous to a mesh network (or more realistically, FidoNet/UUnet) which risks centralization since those problems are not solved at scale in any fashion except hub-and-spoke/backbone. BGP is not an acceptable solution for LN since it involves a substantial degree of trust, and manual routing devolves into centralization.
It took ages for Haskell to become "popular". My personal impression is that OCaml was more popular in the past and lost ground in recent years. OCaml's story demonstrates though how difficult it is to turn an academic research language into a widely accepted tool that is (financially) supported by the industry.

Clean had a performant compiler when Haskell was mostly interpreted and slow. Why didn't it take off? Maybe it wasn't the main goal of its developers once the publications were done.
That's quite true. My favorite SF author, Gene Wolfe, is sometimes found in the Literature section in bookstores.

On the other hand, 99% of SF does not have much literary merit, even the well regarded stuff, so if you're interested in the cross-section, Literature might be the more reasonable department to file it under.
That's the thing though, the goals are constantly shifting and you cannot make assumptions about how other people are going to react. For example when you say "I can ask either sex if they are interested in forming a non-business relationship and then go back to a business relationship if they say no."
I really feel that in the current climate this is a very risky move to make.
And you are virtue signalling by taking my comment ad absurdum and describing a situation to which nobody could reasonably respond with 'no'.

Think about this and the divisiveness of this debate. In phrasing like yours, no grey areas exist. It is the bad versus the good. Read the actual article I linked written by a woman (identity politics makes me say this, because as a woman she has more voice than I).

I am describing a chilling effect and a reaction I observe in myself and suspect in others, you respond with 'How dare you' in an outraged attempt to silence a debate. What is this contributing other than making yourself feel good about your righteousness?
If that’s the case then those women are part of the problem.

Some people act like the social dynamic where men are sexually agressive is solely the responsibility of men.

Most surveys I’ve seen suggest that the majority of women expect men to make the first move (always). This leads to an environment where men are to a degree trained to be sexually agressive.

This doesn’t excuse male behavior. But the road to a more balanced society likely requires changes on both sides.
I think the issue is of product vs. service. Most of the things you deal with still function as products - you pay for your food / car / gasoline up front, and you consume it when and how you wish. The gasoline you bought won't magically disappear from your car because its provider decided to change the mixture or update their TOS. You don't have to worry that your supermarket prohibits you from making french fries from potatoes, because your tier only allows boiling them. You don't need to enter into long-term relationships with businesses to access basic consumables; a purchase is a one-time operation, no strings attached.

I don't see it as an issue of reliability - which will always be a problem, because it's only natural for a business to eventually screw you over in the process of wringing out more profits from you. I see replacing products with services as something that limits your ability to live the way you'd like. It forces you to have a stable cashflow to support those services, since you no longer have a product that you can use until it wears out. It forces you to treat physical objects as black boxes - not tools that manipulate reality, but only tokens of services you subscribe to that you cannot open, cannot control, and cannot use beyond what's outlined in TOS. It forces you to engage in unnecessary business relationships with other people. All of that makes your life much more fragile.

Maybe this is a good fit for average middle/upper-class, healthy and mentally stable consumers, especially those without any curiosity and creativity to use items beyond their designated purpose. But it's not a good fit for everyone.

Now, if that was just an option, it'll be great - one could choose the ratio of products to services in their lives. But the market doesn't ask you what you'd like; you choose from what's available. Services are better than products from businesses' point of view, and therefore that's what's being offered (and with extra profit margins over products, services can dupe people into them by the virtue of being cheaper at the moment of signing a contract). I fear that eventually, we'll be left with pretty much everything delivered as a service, with companies dictating how you need to live your life (and screwing you over with impunity).

> Why do some people call Bitcoin Cash "Bcash?"

It's an abbreviation. Bitcoin Cash = Bcash/BCH. This acronym is not confusable with Bitcoin or the BTC acronym at all.

Why is this considered remotely offensive? People are incredibly reactive to this and I don't understand why. It's a pretty straightforward mechanism of acronyms that has been going on for hundreds of years.

Why is this actually considered a serious point of discussion, at all?
Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Dostoevsky, Hermann Hesse, Charlotte Bronte, Albert Camus, Philip Roth, Herman Melville, Virginia Woolf, Cervantes, Hemingway, George Orwell, JD Salinger, Bret Easton Ellis, Joseph Conrad, Franz Kafka, (arguably) Homer, Goethe, Harper Lee, and on and on... isn't this is all "literary fiction"?

Broken Benchmark: Revisiting Apache Flink vs. Databricks Runtime
Teaching young kids is a genuinely hard job which is severely underpaid in almost all countries. I think that is the primary reason for men not flocking into teaching.
Let us compare this to another crime. So I sometimes keep my wallet on my desk, yes? If some rando comes by and helps themselves to some cash, that's a crime, right? But I'm totally okay with my partner doing that, and there's one or two other people I'd be okay with, too. It is not a crime if one of those people takes the money out of my wallet. But, as it's my wallet, I get to decide who has that privilege.

Note, this depends on how I feel, as it's my wallet. Some people would never be okay with others taking money without asking. For me, at least, there's a small group of people I'd be okay with taking my money without asking.

Now, let us postulate that you think you are in that group with wallet access, but further postulate that you, in fact, are not. You think that I like you more than I actually like you. Even so, if you "confidently" grab money out of my wallet without asking, you are committing a crime, even if someone else performing the exact same action, someone I liked more, would not be committing a crime.

My point here is not to compare kisses to property, of course, but to point out that there are other places in criminal law where the perceptions of the victim and only the perceptions of the victim determine if it is a crime or not. In most of these cases, there's a strong default; by default, it's my wallet, and you can't take the money out without my say-so. By default, it's my body, and you can't touch it in a sexual way without my say so. Yes, you can make your assumptions as to your status, and if you are correct? that's cool. But you do so at your own risk. If you don't want to take that risk, you are free to ask.
How do they know whether you use it commercially or personally? I think I know the answer and it's disconcerting.
The chilling effect, but not the reasonable assessment. The occurrence are still very rare, the total number of people who lost their careers to accusations over those who didn't is probably in the .1% and lower.

Also, if any of the accused are guilty, losing your powerful job is a pretty small punishment.

What does need to happen though, for everyone's sake, is a discernment between levels of gravity. All news of sexual misconduct shouldn't give the same reaction to the public. And on that I think we agree.

That said, its normal now to have the pendulum swing a bit more one side, everyone is finally for the first time in a place where they feel they can voice their agony, after years of silence.

Personally, I think all of this is great, and will hopefully create a better society. In 10 years, I think that discernment will be established, but speaking up about such issues will have become more accepted, and victims would come forward quicker, allowing normal justice to take place.

My issue is with the poster's intention to not work with women in light of the sexual harassment scandals. That response seems completely out of proportion.

Men don't get discriminated against based on the actions of a small minority. For example, male employees regularly download porn on work computers and expose the network to malware. Some store child porn on company networks, which can expose the organization to severe consequences (there are many court cases documenting this kind of behavior). Yet the risk of hiring a horny man never comes up in recruitment.

If women are portrayed as unreliable employees because they supposedly invent sexual harassment charges, it seems fair to avoid men because almost all child pornographers are male.
