But it does not explain why they need to use it.
Most of those "classical liberals" are now branded "leftists".

Anyway, what's the definition of classical liberal, conservative? It's a mishmash of random "single issues" thrown together.

The definition changes as it's convenient for the optimization game of politics, as parties, groups, power structures try to maintain their relevance, try to get more voters, more support, more donations, more allies, and so on.

No internal consistency, no moral foundations, no logic, no principles.

do you believe that the authors falsified their findings?

and also the idea is not to justify sexism, but to provide another possible reason for why a trend seems to perssist after apparent bias is eliminated. This is in response to the idea that oppression is somehow responsible for 100% of the gender-ratio gap.

I don't claim that biological reasons are the only reasons but I stress that they do in fact exist and that a violent response to suggesting that they might exist is not normal.

To use this studies to be sexist, is the wrong idea ,as the memo's author explained, because there is overlap between the populations and while on average one is better (in that respective function) then the other, that does not preclude that someone from the second group is better then someone one the first.

In other words, the result on hiring based on merit alone is better then both:
- hiring only males
- hiring based on prescribed gender quotas.

and by the way, there is studies that indicate that woman are better at empathy ( a sign of emotional intelligence): https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19476221

I can count the times I bought something from a banner ad. I think it's exactly zero. The most something does to me is retargeting and that I find highly offensive when I notice it.

So as a customer I do think that I rather have no ads at all (if they are ineffective on me) than tailored ones.
> I still need to deliver my Geo capabilities, but all I know is that the team I'm dependent on may or may not do it, at some point in the future

I think the point I'm trying to get across to you is that this is always the case — even if they try to shut you up by putting it on a roadmap.

If Geo's not such a priority that they'll do it now or next, then it's going to be at the mercy of whatever it's competing against when the roadmapped date rolls around. You may not get it then either — and you'll have wasted all the time and money you spent on compliance/reskilling/contracts based on the faulty assumption.

The idea that "I need this thing and they provide the thing, so they ought to do it" is nonsensical. They ought to do what provides the most business value at any given time. If that's genuinely providing your thing, gravy, it'll be high enough up their priority list that you'll know they'll very soon be working on it.

If it's not, then the fact that it's on a roadmap for somewhere in the next year is still meaningless: the chances are extremely high that something of higher business value is going to arise between now and then.

Basically, you should treat other internal teams like you would any third-party supplier. Have a plan B. Say it's (eg) Oracle who are promising a geo feature you need in their upcoming release. You don't know when it's going to ship, but you know if it does you can make use of it. So you plan and act as if you might get it, but you also work out what you're going to do if it gets pulled.

That's prudent risk management. You should be doing that anyway. It's not "working around Oracle". Your organisation doesn't suffer because it doesn't control Oracle. Your organisation is more resilient because it has increased its flexibility.
Pay your taxes on your crypto gains. Its easy and painless (except maybe the giving away of the money). Trying to hide it is setting yourself up for a load of hassle, but if you dont want there to be a record then buy with cash of localbitcoins, you would need to ensure your lbc account is not linked to you and change accounts every few months, or find one local seller who you can deal with and use them with cash. There is no history and you could then just send the coins to a new address it would be possible to claim you only purchased them on the date they last moved. e.g. Buy on 01/01/2018, want to sell them in 2020, so on 05/07/2018 you send the coins to a new address and on your tax form claim they were purchased on 5/7/18 (at probably a higher price that you originally did) this would reduce your tax exposure illegally. You would also need to show some way of funding the purchase at that time, so withdrawing an equal sum of money from your bank account would help. However that is tax evasion and illegal everywhere.
Scanning through the paper, I see this "We structure our policy into two subnetworks, one of which
receives only proprioceptive information, and the other which receives only exteroceptive information.
As explained in the previous paragraph with proprioceptive information we refer to information
that is independent of any task and local to the body while exteroceptive information includes a
representation of the terrain ahead. We compared this architecture to a simple fully connected neural
network and found that it greatly increased learning speed."

It seems to me they do use neural nets. Proximal Policy Optimization is just a more novel way of optimizing them.

A stop sign means stop and give way to the cars on the main road, or if the other road has same priority, to the cars on your right. If there are no cars, you are free to enter the junction. A road with a yield sign and a road with a stop sign are of the same priority and right-hand rule applies. Unless you are in Croatia where people universally refuse to accept this simple rule and consider the stop sign as having lower priority "because that car has to stop".
This seems to only be relevant to people already at risk of PSTD (troops). I think it says, having a concussion makes these troops more likely to develop PTSD. But troops are already likely to develop PTSD! This biases the control group.

You're confusing 'increases the likelihood of' with 'causes'. If you could demonstrate that peple who suffer a concussion then develop PTSD when non-concussed members of their group do not develop PTSD, then I'd accept the claim that concussion causes PTSD.
It's impressive how this game spread. I've first read about it in Grubers iPhone X article on daringfireball.net. Then suddenly it was mentioned by xkcd and now appears in other news and finally HN. Great marketing strike.

If they are so simple and small that their runtime complexity with regard to manipulating matter is close to 0-- then when you kill them, they die so quick their reaction is only enough to output a bit of data. I for one feel like its moot to debate whether we would feel pain if a giant sliced our head off at the speed of sound. Thats just death-- a fast death with no sensory systems fast enough to notice.

Now if youd like to debate about whether death by itself, painless death, is amoral, that would be interesting and relevant to these critters..

Should be; and as a driver, rider, and cyclist, would absolutely love to transport myself through such a world. Alas, a twenty-minute drive yesterday got me: people turning right from a left lane (across the through and right lanes, no less), people driving straight through red lights, pedestrians nearly run over on their green light by drivers turning into them, not to mention no indicator lights at all, and 10% of cars driving without any lights at all at night. (Incidentally, "world has road standards and then just ignores them" is IMHO the #1 reason that self-driving cars are not in our near future)
I use flux and my phone's night mode. I also try to look away from the PC and focus on a more distant object once in a while during the day (luckily I have a window right behind me, lots of interesting focus points). I'm not as consistent with this as I'd like to be though. I also had LASIK in 2009 which had the biggest positive impact on my eyes of anything else I've done so far.
You get an interest deduction, but you need to pay taxes on capital gains. The added flexibility is probably worth more in theory but risks spending that money on other things.

A larger issue IMO, is condo's / houses have large upkeep costs and reduce mobility. So, simply renting while investing 90% of the money for a very early retirement is probably the best bet.

> out of curiosity, why would the default presumption be that other vertebrates feel pain, have thoughts, are conscious, while the default presumption in most other sciences is that something is not true unless evidence is provided positively.

Your question is foiled by semantics. The truth is the truth, regardless of phrasing of the hypothesis.

For example, if my hypothesis is that fish do feel pain, I pre-establish experiment criteria, which if witnessed during testing would support the conclusion that the hypothesis is true; fish do feel pain. Similarly, if I start with the hypothesis that fish do not feel pain, establish my criteria and witness the empirical results passing said criteria, then the results support that the hypothesis is true (fish do not feel pain).

So, it doesn't matter how the hypothesis is phrased, what matters is the test criteria and the empirical results against that criteria. You can arrive at the same conclusion either way.

If you want to contest something, contest the criteria the researcher uses to base their conclusion. However, it gets more difficult to refute results when multiple experiments using a variety of different techniques & criteria all tend to point to the same truth.
I live in Belgium. We have a lot of cyclists here, but I think 80% of them don't know their weak position on the road.

As my father said, "They think they are terminators, that if a car crashes into them, the car will break and they will be OK". And that's what I almost always see on the road.

We have a lot of cycling lanes, thank god for that, but sometimes they are not in a good state so all those people tend to share the roadway with other cars. I almost driven into 1 because he was riding a bicycle on a forest road where you can drive 90km/h in a turn.

I do realise how vulnerable cyclists are, I've driven my whole youth to school with one. As a cyclist, I always look when crossing the road, or just around me, to realise where I am and where other people are and do not trust other cars. But most people ignore logic and common sense and just cycle on a roadway.

I still think it's a good idea to have some education on how to use the road. I mean, if a car crashes into a cyclist, the car will have a minor dent, but you can break a lot of things or even die. It's so easy to think before driving on a road because the cycling lane is in bad state.

PS: I also understand that there are bad chauffeurs on the road too, but from my experience, far less than bad cyclists...
My wife’s inhaler seems to work. Can you provide a little more context?
I was taught that the shape of the stop sign is octagon (and yield triangle) because you can recognize the shape from behind.
The main road doesn't need to have the diamond priority sign. You know you have priority if the you see the octagon or triangular shape on adjoining roads.
Shooting straight through is safe if Beaulieu is empty, so why prevent it? Even a low wall or hedge would be enough to prompt a driver to check for traffic more carefully than a superficial scan.
On those days I was still a bit biased towards Delphi and C++ Builder, much more productive that VB and VC++/MFC.

Sadly Borland lost their way, and their key architects to Microsoft, so.

Even today, C++/CX with XAML is not as productive as C++ Builder, and it took all the way to Windows 8, for Microsoft to start taking .NET AOT compilation seriously.

Meaning VB 6 probably still produces better executables than VB.NET.
I sold my company last year and the deal came with a standard lock-up period. The company that bought us has a really bright future and I'm excited to be part of their journey so I don't mind.

I'm currently working hard on integrating the product into their portfolio. Since they are using our former company as a stepping stone into a new market it's a lot like running a startup again, just with much more capital and people.
I hate those sliding radio buttons with text.

In old times, you took money from investor, built a company and finally returned them their principal + interest. You then went your way to care about whatever values you held close about your business. In new times, you become their employee permanently (as in CEO works for shareholders) and hence your goal is to increase their value.

I guess it’s because the level of capital that is required for modern endeavors is such that it is usually impossible to do full buyback like Dell did, for example. In part, it’s also because we have designated the investment itself as an asset as opposed to a loan. So even if a company wants to do full buyback it’s market cap is a moving target usually prohibiting that.

To understand this, imagine you got loan from your uncle for $100k to buy a house. But then your uncle sells your liability to another person for $200k because house prices are on the run. Now suddenly you must pay $200k if you really want to own the house. But then the cycle continues with people selling your liability at higher and higher price so one day you wake up and be happy that your house is now $10M but you can never truly be its owner unless you actually pay $10M. This is the magic and power of capitalism.

In antiquity, it was sometimes loathed upon even demanding interest on a loan because it was like stealing from someone else’s fruits of labor and making income through no or little effort of your own (aka passive income). But that prohibited the utilization of capital and people saw that there was nothing sinful in collecting interest on your capital as a reward for taking risk. Capital is an asset just like your house is an asset and demanding rent on is perfectly legitimate.

But then people with capital took one step further. Instead of demanding just interest, they started demanded ownership share of your endeavor as well. This was again loathed upon as the people landing money now also got all the rights and privileges in the creation of a person who actually did all the work. But soon people saw that this increased flow of capital even more. Investors now were suddenly more willing to participate in risky propositions. An entrepreneur can raise order of magnitude more capital than any other of time in history.

But then people with capital took one step further. Why can’t they sell your loan liability as an asset to someone else? This meant that original principal given to an entrepreneur as a loan now had undefined value. It was only determined by the wish and whims of buyer of his liability. This also meant that entrepreneur was freed up from any expectations that original loan would be paid up. Investors would instead be just happy with continuous flow of dividends and speculating how he will do in future. The loan became thus permanent. Soon need for larger and larger capital grew such that majority of ownership ended up with investors and the entrepreneur become the employee of the investor. This again allowed even higher order of capital collections. And that’s how we got here.

> How are they different? Pain is a negative stimulus response that allows us to know whether something is causing damage to our body.

The difference is between the unpleasant, subjective experience (qualia) and the electrical signals indicating physical damage.

A car has sensors that detect physical damage, yet it doesn't feel pain in the way that humans do. The question is, where on that spectrum bacteria, ants, and fish lie.

> Have you seen ants writhe around after being crushed or dismembered? They definitely feel pain.

Have you seen a car deploy its airbags and notify emergency services after a crash? And yet, they definitely don't feel pain. Visible reaction to a negative stimulus is neither a sufficient nor a necessary precondition for someone or something to feel pain.
Although there are numerous definitions of pain, almost all involve two key components. First, nociception is required. Second is some emotional factor.

I don't care whether an animal thinks about the pain or emotes about it. You wouldn't put pedo porn on a disk because its bad karma. Just the fact that it exists is grotesque. So why put torture into the mind of a biological disk in the form of doge? The universe gives us so much.. greed is where heinous acts come from. Airing on the side of harmony doesn't cause later strife. Why take chances like cheap profiteers?

It's not a personal attack... I don't even know you. I literally just read your one single post there.

If anything I'm only "attacking" your text there. That single tought that you had in the moment of writing. Nothing more. With the intent of you defending it and explaining it better to me, and maybe come togheter to a better opinion after the discussion. I didn't know you were so sensitive, people here usually aren't.

I'm sorry that you have a rough time in your private life. Hope it gets better soon. But that doesn't really matter here now.

Anyway, I wish you a good night.
I'd be very interested in this too, also at what age you did this.
The startup nearly killed me but I cashed out ~$3M after taxes. It’s all invested in a portfolio of index funds.

I moved to a ski town in Colorado and ski 3x per week and volunteer teach fitness classes 4x per week.

My wife and I have plenty of time and money so we “live sexy” - basically we’re swingers. We try to hook up with others for a threesome our foursome once a month or so. It is insanely fun but only works because we have a super strong relationship.

Hooking up with others has been great motivation to stay healthy. I live close to the main street in our town and walk to the grocery store most days for lunch. I’m in the best physical shape of my life.

I sleep on average 9 hours a night. If I ever feel at all in a negative mood I take a nap and feel great again.

I stay lightly in the entrepreneurial game but don’t do anything that demands much of my time. Working ~20 hours a week I’ll do ~$100k in profits.

My wife and I talk a lot about how we’re basically cheating at life because money isn’t supposed to buy happiness but in our case it definitely has!

The argument that the existence of negative stimuli disproves the ubiquity of pain only holds if "response" is a single atomic thing, which it isn't. Animals don't respond in the same way to being prodded in the head as they do to being, say... eaten alive, so the existence of other forms of negative stimuli doesn't prevent you learning about pain responses.

For example, fish have been reasonably shown to feel pain by comparing their responses under painkillers to their natural responses.

Personally I don't think our experience of pain is universal, it'll be different with each combination of neurological and biochemical apparatus, but to me the idea that pain must somehow be proved rather than assumed in higher order is somewhat disturbing and indicitive of our continuing hunger for exceptionalism.
I liked it! Mind sharing little details? Seems highly interesting.
