In the past, there was another extreme in societies when raped woman could be considered guilty for inappropriate seduction of a men. So those victims could be crucified by society and in some cases even sent to prison.

There were some important changes in societies which made women in many modern countries much more emancipated. This is no doubt was very positive change for economies (more educated workforce) and live in general (free love versus arranged marriage).

In recent decade or two, third wave-feminism took off and ballooned to the point when it became pretty ugly and full of systemic-hate towards males. What I mean by systemic-hate is that under the flag of gender equality, feminists try to explain any disparity between men and women as systemic oppression and discrimination driven by men.

So now, we can see overstretched definitions of rape and harassment and absurd claims that 25% of women experienced sexual assault etc (so called "rape culture", a bizzare term on its own). Just making sexual harassment allegations is enough to consider a person guilty. So any woman can forever destroy carrier of any man just by making such allegations. I can easily imagine situation where socially awkward male tries to make awkward flirt with female and, in response, she will easily destroy his career and life.

I can imagine that sexual self-esteem of young males could be massively degraded in hostile environment created by third-wave feminists. I'm so glad I lived my 20ties in Russia and not being influenced by this bizarre new leftist culture.

As one friend of mine called - horizontal totalitarianism: anyone who question third-wave feminism's dogmas would be crucified/banned and fired for being sexist, supportive of rape (what an absurd!!!!), and against gender equality, considering women as inferior to men etc

When I lived in Russia, I romanticized western world based on movies and politics of 80s and 90s. I imagined western world as individualist and free-market paradise free from government's heavy hand. I imagined that people in the west are open minded and I looked at feminism positively. Now, I'm deeply disappointment by what I see...
I'm working my way through LPTHW, and from what I can tell (I'm at exercise 35 now) most of these criticisms are now out of date with what he's currently teaching.

From what I understand, LPTHW was essentially a book/course that the author had written to help a friend with zero programming knowledge learn how to write code, so with that in mind I can let some of the criticisms go, namely the weird order in which things are taught compared to other beginner language books and the condescending tone. I can also let some of the naming conventions go, because the book is meant to be followed in a linear fashion.

Given that many of these criticisms are out of date, and given that Zed Shaw is teaching Python 3 despite having some strong opinions, it's entirely possible that Zed the person can continue to hold these opinions, but can swallow his pride enough to fix issues other experienced developers have found with the book, and has chosen to teach Python 3 without pushing an agenda.

As for my opinions on the book, as an experienced .NET developer trying to enter the Python/Linux world I find it a bit too basic at times. What I've really enjoyed has been the rote learning aspect. Paired with the videos for each chapter, forcing myself to write the code, follow the study drills, and then watch the video after each chapter to compare approaches has resulted in me retaining much of what has been taught. As a book it feels lacking, but as a packaged course it feels good.

Once I finish his course, I'll probably follow up with another Python book to fill any holes before I move onto any particular web framework stuff.
One interesting use of the Hungarian algorithm is in git-tbdiff [1] (topic branch diff). It uses it to compute which patch in an older topic branch match each patch in a newer topic branch.

Yes, that's exactly what I mean with it depends on the price. Historically most miners switched to Bitcoin Cash whenever it was more profitable to mine. With the new EDA the miner ratio is expected to follow the price ratio. So if Bitcoin Cash ever were to have a higher price than Bitcoin they would get the most miners. In the long run this would make Bitcoin Cash the chain with the most security.
Can you already mine this?
> But his comment about professional dress could have been made far more constructively. When I encounter provocatively-dressed women...

It's not at all clear from her blog post that she was dressed provocatively, or that he was sincerely commenting on the appropriateness of her appearance. This could just as easily have been a scenario where a man thinks a woman looks good and lets her know that he thinks so, while simultaneously criticizing her for his advantage, ie, negging.

But with the information we have, we just don't know. It's like an ambiguous personal email that one can project attitudes onto; if you're feeling defensive or threatened, then it's easy to read a perfectly neutral message as being hostile or even sarcastic.
Thought the same thing. So if the conclusion is true why is this also not being picked up by major news outlets? It would be major news
"In the age of a random accusation ending people's careers (this year's events made this painfully obvious to anyone even outside of the college space, the #metoo overreaction and what happened to James Damore being prime examples),"

Do you have any specific examples of "a random accusation ending people's careers"? As far as I know, all of the recent media activity has had confirmative evidence and Damore 1) was never accused of anything other than being none-too-bright, 2) is a significantly different case, and 3) was hardly a random accusation.

P.S. The sexism of Pence's statement probably has more to do with the part about requiring any aides that work late with him to be men. Rather limits the career of any female aide, no?

P.P.S. Don't forget that lefties don't have blood like normal humans; they have a thick, black tarry substance that smells of sulphur.

I fell in love with smartphones (iPhone) when I downloaded the HP41 app. I feel ya.
Thanks for your comment and those very clear questions, this is a good way for me to see how my comment can be understood, and it allows me to clarify in case necessary.

"Do you believe initial victims bear some culpability in their aggressors later attacks?"
Definitely not. If this is how my comment can be understood, then I failed to express what I meant, although reading it again and again, I am a surprised about this. However, it's just a reminder how different the same statement can be interpreted.

My reference was to what I see as a moral/ethical responsibility of an individual to the society at large to do something against a negative phenomenon.

I see everyone carrying a responsibility to make a society work. That means speaking up, that means giving feedback, that means helping people to improve - and yes, sometimes that means giving up or at least risking an opportunity, because sometimes, doing these things which I just described is not received well.

Which brings me to your second point and your question.
"But have you ever been the victim of a physical assault? Have you ever put your career on the line to get justice for something?"
I have been putting my "career" (in the sense of opportunities and professional relationships) on the line multiple times due to me disagreeing with various terms, or based on certain principles, or simply because I felt that what I was asked to do would not be true to myself, and I have expressed clear and loud disagreements to the extend that I wasn't sure whether voicing this would get me fired. I am generally a person who rather says "no" to something than to say "yes" just to avoid the conflict. This probably impacts the way I look at the whole topic. I wouldn't have written what I wrote if this is not how I try to act myself. For me, my integrity is more important than money, career, power, status.

However, I have not been physical assaulted in that context that we are talking about here (even though I have been physically assaulted in a violent non-sexual context, but I guess that's not really what you are looking for).

Having said that, I have a hard time with this idea of extreme human vulnerability in cases such as the one's we are talking here though. I am a human being myself. Even though I am not a woman and have not had a colleague trying to kiss me at a party or sending me inappropriate text messages, I have had plenty of stressing, uncomfortable, potentially threatening "real life experiences" to state t hat, while everything can leave (psychological) scares , essentially describing women (or individuals in general, as I - as mentioned before - consider the underlying motivator of action or not-action being not gender-related) as completely helpless in these situations is the wrong approach, no matter how "right" it feels.
Man, it's almost like representational state transfer and remote procedure calls are two different things, and sometime your service does fine with the simpler one of those, and other times your service needs finer-grained controls.

But if we were thinking critically about how these protocols differed then we couldn't write an entertaining polemic, right?
Yes... Using that link a source... the US lost more than 4 times what every country in the world INCLUDING the US legitimately spent.

Or approximately 1/3 of the of the entire us GDP, compared to the 3% listed.
But like the article mentioned, clients using REST are used to dealing with wrappers written for their language anyway. They'd prefer to not bother with URLs, query strings, and MIME types, and simply consume an API in the language that feels natural for them.

You can argue that REST is easier to debug for developers, but nothing makes XML-RPC or binary protocols inherently _less_ easier to debug. It depends on the platform and library you're using.

I wholeheartedly agree with the article. Well done.
That's all well and good in the abstract. In practice, literary culture has long been notorious for cliqueyness and big egos (even narcissism).

Affirming general propositions of the form "just because X, Y is not necessarily true" is logically fine. It is just a bit odd to be using glittering generalities to defend, of all things, literary fiction (which is concerned above all else with nuance and particularity).
The problem becomes evident when you return to the results so the flow a year later to change something, and wish you were more mindful when getting things done.

Cargo cults are not good. Finding and adhering to regular patters that logically underlie what you do saves time and mental effort, while also preventing certain classes of errors. (No, these are not GoF design patterns.)
No, I have no strong opinion about this Canadian policy. All I said is that there is a legitimate rationale for the Canadian policy, and that Canada has a strategic interest to be more than just an American vassal with quaint accents.

Trump and the situation in the United States is different. We are a sort of economic empire — we industrialize culture and push it out everywhere. Kids in Africa know about the NBA and hip hop. People in China are super fans of the 90s TV show “Friends”.
> Now, the Department of Defense has announced it will conduct the first department-wide, independent financial audit in its history

I recall a few (somewhere between 5 and 10) years ago they tried to do an audit and just threw their arms up in the air and said "impossible".

A bunch of people are going to choke on their morning coffee over this but I'm just going to say it: Trump promised to bring accountability to government and here's the DoD performing the impossible. I know, heresy...

First of all, "duck and cover" is from the 1950s. Before ICBMs existed, and before there were as many bombs as later on.

>those people will almost certainly die of radiation exposure from fallout 2-4 weeks later, unless they get to a shelter within 15 minutes or so, and stay there for 2-4 weeks, at a minimum, without running out of supplies or going mad.

Many people survived at Hiroshima. Not everyone is downwind of fallout. Even if you are, many of the projections I've seen show many expected survivors.

>Or that they'll die of starvation and disease 2-4 months later.

We wouldn't run out of food anywhere near that quickly. The US has vast supplies of stored food and unslaughtered animals. And radiation doesn't create disease.

>Or of the effects of nuclear winter 2 to 4 years later.

Nuclear winter has been greatly exaggerated. AT worst the growing season would be reduced and it would get a bit colder.
As far as I know, that isn't an option
I have a suggestion for a niche you might find explotable: cryptocurrency exchange trollboxes. Maybe a different version that automatically (or only) works for them. Poloniex removed theirs when users complained about the service - others like bittrex or coinbase don't have them. They're things where the sites don't want them (or are too lazy to) but users do use it for support/community too.

For your argument, wouldn't history still be a key marketing tactic?

If an ISP started to throttle traffic, then reversed their decision, the damage has already been done. The message would switch from "Unlike Comcast, we don't throttle traffic" to "Unlike Comcast, we will never throttle traffic".

I'm sure they do a thorough inspection, but there is nothing in the video to suggest that they inspect literally every part, or anything close to it. Note that by "every part" I mean every component, not every area of the plane. Your remark about the toilets suggests that you may have assumed the latter interpretation.

It is not clear from the article that this is mostly fraud. It appears that it might cover anything not done strictly according to procedure or documented incorrectly.

And 'not done strictly according to procedure' may or may not be a serious issue in any given case. Most bureaucracies have some rules that are incomplete, contradictory or simply infeasible.

Audits are a good idea, but I don't expect the $21T figure to stand, except perhaps in a purely formal way.

Hi HN,

So happy to share this project, born on my Grandpa's 94th birthday party. Over the years, we've tried to teach our grandparents tech but nothing stuck. As our habits have shifted our grandparents have sort of been left behind. Showing our grandparents photos on our smartphones is fine in the moment but leaves them with nothing to look at once we've gone home.

NanaGram started with just my siblings and me curating photos for our grandparents. Before NanaGram, the photos on the fridge hadn't changed in 10 years. I bought my grandma a 100 pack of magnetic pins. Now nearly the entire fridge is covered and the grandkids compete to get on the fridge.

The second customer was my future wife. I didn't give her a discount since I wanted to prove people would pay for it. She still gives me a hard time :) Her Grandma's first delivery arrived at just the right time, bringing joy to her Grandma during a challenging weekend. Her Grandma brings the photos to her knitting group and brags about how great her grandkids are.

Early customer orders are starting to drop and reactions from loved ones has been awesome:

One of the best parts of the project is it’s been an excuse to spend more time with my 94-year-old grandparents. A couple weeks ago I bought my grandparents an Amazon Alexa Show. I recorded the unboxing and what unfolded was just… ridiculous:
https://youtu.be/4eomGnUHido. I wrote a bit more about it at http://blog.nanagram.co/echo-show-unboxing.

A viral video TV show reached out and asked if we could use the video. When I asked my Grandpa if he’s okay with being on the Internet and TV, he immediately looked at me and said, “When are we going to Hollywood!?”

Further shenanigans ensued. He asked the show for compensation and when they offered him $150 he counter-offered, asking for $500 in “Bite” coin. This past Monday morning the show was broadcasted and I went to their home to watch it live. After seeing themselves on TV for the first time, my Grandpa turned to my Grandma and said, “See? See who you married? I’m a famous Grandpa. I’m America’s Grandpa!”
If it gets done, I, for one, will applaud.
I LOVE python, it is the weapon I first take to any battle and the language I recommend to beginners. But, I have to admit that the fact that it is so easy to lose track of which "if" a nested "else" belongs to when modifying code, and, I've seen this being the source of so many bugs, that it has changed my opinion about whitespace-significant languages.

Also, I've come to appreciate when I write in say Rust, the fact that I can let go of the syntax, just write and focus on my ideas and let my editor sort the mess at the end.
Have you got any specific examples of a "zero tolerance" response to something that wasn't "pretty clear-cut predatory"?

I think companies and society have always had a clear consensus on these issues; the recent events have merely been pointing out that 'ignore and suppress' isn't a very good response.

>> Why is Title II so important?
>
> Because right now, it's the only tool we have to enforce NN.

We have plenty of tools to enforce a thing. We have existing legislation, and we have the power to enact new legislation. We have existing regulation, and we have the power to effect new regulation. We have voices, and we have votes. I am not entirely convinced that Title II vs Title I is the best way to move forward, but I am entirely convinced that it is not the only.

The Telecommunications Act was enacted in 1934, then updated in 1996. That's more than twenty years ago. With significant change in politics and the creative ways in which ISPs have quashed neutrality in the name of network management, Congress has had plenty of opportunity to take notice and offer something more substantial than "Oh, no, how did this happen?"

The thing the will benefit driverless vehicles is the increasing poverty of the middle class. As wages continue to stagnate, more and more people will be unable to handle the capital costs of new cars.

Nobody will ever choose driverless Uber-like cars for a long time. Paying by the drink (ie paying the $0.60-0.80 + margin that it costs to operate a car) will never be a good deal for the consumer. People will rent because they need to.

The current situation with Uber and Lyft is an exception. Uber has revealed itself to be a criminal enterprise and both companies rely on VC subsidy and pushing liability to operators to survive. That’s not a model that will stand the test of time.
I think they were suggesting that it was more difficult to design/develop (as per your example), but easier to consume if designed/developed well, and that this was the proper tradeoff.
Your theories on the rise and fall of civilizations is pretty speculative. I've heard dozens of theories of why Rome fell. Everyone and their brother has a pet theory.

But even if you are right, it's irrelevant. Yeah, ancient civilizations were sensitive to famines and climate. We are way past that. Some of our biggest cities are in regions that were near uninhabitable before air conditioning or insecticides. Our modern irrigiation technology give us the ability to grow crops in areas that used to be desolate. We produce several times more food than we actually need. If the absolute worst case scenarios of climate change happened, our civilization would easily continue.
