"My understanding is that generally the direction of gender bias we see in other highly gender biased fields is consistent cross-culturally. (nurse,"

Your understanding isn't correct, at least for nursing.

Nurses were male until the 1800s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Men_in_nursing#History give examples of predominately nurses and caregivers in other cultures before that time. http://minoritynurse.com/rethinking-gender-stereotypes-in-nu... says "Before modern day nursing, men were nurses, not women. The earliest recorded nursing school was established in India around 250 B.C. It was exclusively for men; women were not allowed to attend because it was believed that women were not as pure as men."

What happened in the 1800s? Quoting from https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/EJ1081399.pdf :

> Through the efforts of Florence Nightingale in the mid-nineteenth century, nursing was established as a women's profession (Hus, Chen & Lou, 2010). Nightingale's image of the nurse as subordinate, nurturing, domestic, humble, and self-sacrificing, as well as not too educated, became prevalent in society. The American Nursing Association ostracized men from nursing until 1930, when as a "result of a bylaw amendment, provision was made for male nurses to become members of the American Nurses' Association" (In Review - American Nurses' Association, p. 6). Looking back in nursing history, Florence Nightingale, and the American Nursing Association ostracized men from the nursing profession.'

See also http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1046/j.1365-2648.1997.... , "History appears to indicate that men have had a place in nursing for as long as records are available, but their contribution has been perceived as negligible, largely because of the dominant influence that the 19th century female nursing movement has had on the occupation's historical ideology."
This is what overturned net neutrality in 2014, and possibly would have overturned it again without the current administration. The FCC states their right to regulate the issue comes from one incredibly vague line in a 96 act, that they are to “encourage the deployment on a reasonable and timely basis of advanced telecommunications capability to all Americans."
I don't have experience in law, but maybe those stats just need time to change. People that graduated from post-parity need time to reach the level of seniority needed.
At least where I live (Sweden) Google Maps is often worse than OpenStreetMap, and there are several other sites with both better aerial photography and map data. I also think Google Maps' white on gray color scheme is hard to read.

I made this as an example [0]. It's Google Maps, OpenStreetMaps, a local competitor (Hitta), and the official government map agency (Lantmäteriet) that Google used to buy their map data from according to their copyright info. Notice several features missing in Google's data, and how bland and low contrast it is in comparison. Speaking of which, try finding this road on Google Maps using your phone when the sun is shining: [1]

Google's aerial photos in the same area is from 2014 and is both lower resolution and older than the two alternatives I looked at.

I still use Google Maps quite a lot, but in my opinion they're slipping and doesn't seem to care about keeping data updated as much as having local guides reviewing restaurants and grocery stores.

> Fiat currencies are issued and backed by banks that lend that currency to nation state governments

There are three types of money: central bank reserves, physical currency and commercial bank money. The U.S. government (Fed and Treasury, respectively) directly controls the first two down to the cent. Commercial banks "make" the final one, but to get the right to do that they have to agree to Federal Reserve jurisdiction (internationally, this happens with central banks entering into swap agreements with the Fed, i.e. opening "accounts" with the Fed into which the Fed deposits U.S. dollars whose--since this needs to be said--quantities it gets to track).
> So, because you cannot trade apartments without spending significantly more money, there's a couple of hour-long commutes instead.

Here is where the analysis should happen. All of the "significantly more money" aspect boils down to transactional costs. Transactional costs in rentals will always, always be higher than transactional costs of ownership. Ownership's transactional costs get offset, (to only a small extent in the Bay area, but it is not nothing), by the equity the owner has accumulated.

Renters never accumulate equity to offset their transactional cost of "trading". The paper (and all of the anti rent control camp) constantly misconstrues lower-than-market rent as "savings". It is not savings; it's merely delaying the inevitable transactional cost of "trading".
Apple does this sometimes for macOS. It's probably because it's an application update, not an OS update (so OS patch version does not change), and doesn't require a reboot.
In fact, if I was an investor I'd tell them to pay me back in USD, not some coin.
It’s more comparable to the movement controls of apartheid.
Also, everyone to the right of Antifa have been told Net Neutrality was disguised legislation to censor conservative opinions.

Given how completely Twitter, Facebook, Google, et al censor right-leaning political opinions, and they're big pro-NN orgs, it wasn't a hard sell.

Unfortunately, NN has become yet another casualty in these weird post-fact times.

Yes, all customer PV instances in EC2 are running in an HVM container and are protected against the guest-to-guest Meltdown vulnerability.

As with all virtual and physical machines, patches are necessary to protect against process-to-process Meltdown within the OS itself. Those are starting to roll out from the respective vendors although it will take time for those to work inside a PV instance.
Why don't Democrats pass NN through congress and get it enshrined into law? Instead of trying to block that from happening, since it's Republicans who are trying to do that.

Why was NN so easy to repeal in the first place? Why didn't Obama do a proper job if it's such an important issue? I still don't agree with the accepted wisdom about what NN is in the first place. Seems to me to suggest companies that are using up a lot of bandwidth are going to start paying more, competitors are going to start paying less. Which is why every single large company is opposed to the change.

If you preferentially buy food that does not need to be shipped long distances, you can reduce your carbon footprint.

Nope. "Legal tender" means just that. If you want to be repaid in something other than a jurisdiction's legal tender, you have to specify that in the contract.

It appears to me that in part this may be explained by him attempting to cover his ass.

So it's your projection of what you assume he really thinks. What evidence are you basing this on?
"competition will give us cheap, reliable, and feature-filled service". Really, I would love to see the evidence that this would be the case.
Not really. In a competitive market, ISPs couldn't pull the kind of anti-consumer shenanigans that NN is meant to prevent, but wouldn't be hamstrung from reducing costs by forced compliance to regulations. The closest analogy that I can think of was Ma Bell, followed by the breakup of ma bell, followed by open access to long distance lines. The best and cheapest long distance service came after the regulations were lifted and true competition was established.
I've used Sonic. They advertised $40/m (still do) but it turned out that plus additional $10 just because, plus hw rental fees, plus taxes on the phone service I don't need and can't get rid of. All summarily $65. Plus they use AT&T infrastructure, which also conveniently makes it impossible to switch from them to regular AT&T without cancelling the service completely (thus cutting off internet) and ordering a brand new install, since AT&T software can't handle it otherwise (they don't have option to move same service to different billing engine). Plus they told me I have to cancel a month in advance (and pay for the extra month even if I already have another service). So, I'm no longer using Sonic.
No. Companies that are using lots of bandwidth will get bulk rates, or negotiate sweetheart zero-rating deals.

Upstart companies with spikes in usage may be killed because they can't get the bandwidth they need at the same low rates the incumbent players get.

Hey, for the benefit of the community, can you give an idea of what sort of stuff is practically available/discoverable to people like yourself? maybe a link to a white paper, or even just best practice recommendations for people who want to have an online presence (FB/reddit/github/HN/etc comments + likes, tor or torrent use, google searches, amazon orders, alexa/siri, email/calls/texts, etc... not illegal use, just perhaps colorful) but not get screwed over in personal/professional cases? do amazon/google/reddit/etc provide records if subpoena'd, or can you just see what's kept on my local machine/phone?

If you don't mind answering (as vaguely as makes sense), what kind of pain? Where is it focused (exclusively the hip/s?), what does it derive from?

Depending on the nature of it, you might look at this:

https://www.amazon.com/Genacol-Hydrolyzed-Supplement-Extra-F...

I'll suggest you do your own research on it of course. I've known a few people, myself included, that have seen extraordinary results from taking it for various pain related to anything to do with joints (very split results on working or not, seems to do amazingly for some, and nothing for others). I didn't expect it to do anything, instead it saves me from taking pain killers every day (took my pain from a persistent 5 out of 10 to a 1 or 2 on most days, such that I never need pain killers; I take two each night).

This shouldn't be surprising; this is an obvious result of rent control.

If rent control isn't applied to all rental units (as is the case in SF), then the units not under rent control end up being higher than average to make up for the units under rent control.

Even if rent control is applied to all rental units, then you see large spikes in rent that are speculative to several years in the future whenever a tenant moves out and the unit is re-listed.

The problem is that you can't just kill rent control and expect everything to be ok overnight, especially in a place like SF where the housing supply is constrained. Two things:

1) Demand outstrips supply even at the high prices commanded by non-rent-controlled units, so if you were to kill rent control here, the only thing that would happen would be that the units that were previously subject to rent control will get price hikes. I wouldn't expect rents to fall for the units that were never subject to rent control, because there are still people willing to pay those prices to live here, even if they'd prefer something lower.

2) Even if I'm not entirely correct, and there is enough supply that the overall market rate actually would be lower than the current market rate for non-controlled units, we'd still lose a lot of lower-income residents; I would be very surprised to find many (if any) landlords in the city who wouldn't raise rents at least modestly if their units stopped being subject to rent control. Some of the less exploitative ones might work with their existing tenants so as not to force them out of the city, but there are a lot of people in SF in rent-controlled housing that can't afford much more in the way of increases than rent control allows.

We need to 1) build like crazy, 2) kill rent control, 3) have some sort of phase-out period where we subsidize housing for lower- and middle-income people hit hardest by post-#2 rent increases. (And probably other things; I'm no economist.)
The fence instruction that Intel recommends (lfence) is way slower than the techniques described here. We measured a 5x slowdown on Web Assembly trying to use it.

Also we have been working on these mitigations since well before Intel made their suggestion.
It seems that Google has to have a specific policy in place for this law to be triggered, which does not seem to be the claim being made.

No. It would be enough for there to be a demonstrated consistent set of actions in a specific direction. Otherwise, many other laws could be made moot by companies not having a specific written policy, but still carrying out such actions.
You are right; the announce video stated improved optics explicitly. But in the video they still appear to be fresnel lenses, so I expect the light bleeding artifacts will remain. I am interested to see peoples' hands-on impressions.
Another example of services hiding things that comes to mind is how YouTube and Google Play filter comments so when you're logged in you see your comments, making you think they've been accepted and visible, however if you log out, your comments are no longer visible.

I suspect fencing instructions are quite a bit slower than this, involve more work and don't even cover every CPU.

Branchless bounds checking and type checking with masking and pointer poisoning is probably what we are going to see in other languages too.
Well, one thing to consider is that age inevitable. Age is a factor in heart attacks but it's also simply a factor in dying from whatever cause.

A statement like "age has nothing to do with whether you die prematurely from a heart attack in particular - fitness is the main factor" might be true even if age is a big factor in whether one dies of a heart attack at a given moment ... because it is a big factor in whether you are going at a given moment.

Wake up older and you're more likely to die overall. Be unfit physically and engage in very vigorous exercise and a heart becomes n% more likely to be the way you die. Those might or might be deemed to two separate facts - ie "die prematurely of a heart attack" is itself pretty ambiguous, ha ha.

Do statistics correctly is hard and describing statistical situations with everyday language is a hard problem on top of this original challenge.

These mitigations are way cheaper than fences.

For example, for WebAssembly, we measured that the fence instruction was a 5x regression. That’s nuts. Index masking is a rounding error by comparison.
Unfortunately that voting block doesn't line up with reality, as least from the stats I know for the presidential elections. A given voter that voted for party X's candidate four years ago, if they vote again, will vote for party X's candidate about 92% of the time. This means that in the pool of 'likely voters', the two parties are realistically fighting over 8% of hearts and minds.
I think you may have it backwards. I'm not sure if you read his memo, but it was actually Damore who was inviting discussion and listening to feedback. He was not met with anything resembling constructive discussion, but instead was fired and publicly shamed, in most cases based on fabrications of statements that he did not make, and that did not reflect his intent. Even this techcrunch article is full of them unfortunately.

Until the people who dislike what he had to say are willing to have an honest conversation about things he actually did say, progress here is impossible, and further backlash and resentment against minorities is inevitable.
Depends on where you are. If all the described events happened in Mexico then you'd get back pesos. If all that stuff happened in the US you'd get back dollars. If you had a contract that specified different and it was legally sound then that's what you'd do.

That's how this works. You can call things currencies but that doesn't make it so, the legal system is an arm of he state, and states have one kind of currency, they get to decide what it is, and the they have guns and jails if you don't like it.
He did not publish it. It was published without his consent. It was supposed to be private.

Google expects people to work with people who openly hate white men. Just take a look at some of their twitter feeds. Damore expressed no such opinion of women he just has a broader explanation for under-representation in tech other than sexism.

However, this is weird: “Within hours they refunded me ethereum with a dollar amount equal to what I had contributed in early September, but since the coin has more than tripled in value since then, they kept the rest of my contribution, essentially stealing quite a lot of money from me.”

Yeah, that's bullshit. They owe you your money back, they don't owe you the gains that you would have gotten if you had speculated in Ethereum instead.

I agree. If it had gone down instead of up, he'd have kept his trap shut on this matter instead of being upset.
We have a monopoly problem with Comcast, etc. so this isn't that complicated. It's an oversimplification to say that net neutrality is going to solve that problem, but I don't think it's an oversimplification to say that people against NN are against solving the problem, and I think most people get that intuitively, even if they don't get the details.

I don't think minorities should be hired to be "visible", that doesn't sit right with me. Hiring minorities and even people from different economic backgrounds, country of origin etc is good for getting different perspectives and different ways of approaching problems.

The hard truth is if you only hire white guys from Stanford you've got a ton of overlap in their background and the way they think. If you only hire black women from Somalia it's the same. You're going to have significant similarities. Making teams more diverse is extremely important and beneficial as long as all are otherwise qualified.
A lower resolution image would still look better upscaled on a higher resolution display because it would reduce the screen-door effect. Plus, it would help future-proof the device a little bit. But that might be the problem, they don't have to have too large of jumps between iterations so they have more launch events and sell more devices.
You could say I'd have a rational interest in becoming a doctor because I'd stand to make on average 300k a year. I won't do it for other reasons which aren't pondered.

It's easy to make something look rational when you pick and choose axioms. The republicans don't have a rational interest in decriminalization because their financial backers don't want it, and they have moral qualms about it since 100 years of government lies convinced them it's the devil's plant.

Except that in SF, a landlord can get a tenant for nearly any price, because demand really is that high, and supply really is that low. On the occasion that a rent controlled apartment goes back into the market in SF, it's snapped up within a week, even if the listing price is set above market rate. A savvy renter (which you have to be, if you want to get a place in SF) will know that they're paying a higher price for a much more stable rent year over year.
