This is a good example. Im in my mid twenties and just discovered yesterday that (at least on Windows 10) that a user and a computer have _entirely_ different permissions.

I always thought it was account based! At least thats what my coworker and IT guy explained it to me as.
That's precisely the thought exercise I am tired of seeing.
Walter Mondale: Democrats actually contacted the KGB and sought help to defeat Reagan in 1984. The organizer of it was Ted Kennedy.

Barack Obama: famously promised to Medvedev to be more flexible after the election, in exchange for Russian not pressing on the missile defense issue when it could hurt Obama's position.

Hillary Clinton: accepted money donations from foreign politicians with US interests many times. The fact that Clinton Foundation and Clinton Campaign were big buddies is an open secret by now. Though of course that happened not only connected to elections, so attributing it specifically to elections would probably be very limiting to the scope.

I would also bring Steele dossier here, but the involvement of specifically foreign government here is unproven - while I'd give more than even chance that many of the allegations there were created by Russian intelligence sources, it may also be a regular "our man in Havana" type affair, so it's not entirely sure.

But I don't see why it specifically must be the government. If it's OK to accept dirt on your opponent (let's limit ourselves to dirt that is true and exclude fraud for now), then why is it not OK to accept it from a foreigner? It doesn't become less true because foreigner touched it. And if it's ok to accept it from a random foreigner, why it's not OK to accept it from a foreigner which is paid by foreign government?

What seems to be less OK is to solicit it in an explicit quid-pro-quo arrangement, either monetary or otherwise. Of which, in Trump's case, there's no indication (though the first example is a classic specimen).
Less inclined (which was what he said) can be tested factually are you saying that it's ok to be fired to state something factually correct?

Yes, the problem is (i am someone who was put on a VLCD of 800 calories a day- and didn't lose that much weight from it) that your body has a set metabolism that keeps slowing down as you lower calories over the years. I had no problem going on the vlcd besides fatigue. The reason is I was already only consuming 1200 calories a day. These diets don't work over the long haul. I realize my case isn't the most common, but they are now looking into microbiome therapy as a possible solution. This resetting of metabolism plagued the biggest losers from "the biggest loser" as well. I do hope more research is done, because in my case, following diets (and perhaps other medical factors like igg)slowed my metabolism to a ridiculous level. And I don't have diabetes or high blood pressure, luckily.

This is even within dialogue generation. I’ve found plenty more recent citations, but it’s been a very important part of that subfield for decades.

I can’t speak for goal-oriented dialogue generation, however. Perhaps your area of work has benefited less or given it less attention.

The best about bike commuting is that you get a connection to the weather and and the air around you. I have to commute by car now and I feel like I am losing touch with my environment.
You're right, the NLRB isn't settling the science. It's saying that discussion of the science renders otherwise protected speech unprotected ("so harmful, discriminatory, and disruptive as to be
unprotected"), and effectively removing workers' legal right to engage in science-based discussion of whether a 50/50 gender ratio is the appropriate goal.
It's worth keeping in mind that Europe certainly isn't one place when it comes to labour regulations. Some places you barely fire people at all (prevalent in the South, apparently getting reformed in France) and in some places it is significantly easier (several countries in the North), if not quite at will. The "easiness" generally has to do with the burden attached to showing insufficient performance.
One does wonder how much damage this memo does to that case. It will be interesting to see.
But, doesn't Twitter have sufficient restrictions on the use of their API as to make this not really worthwhile?
Define “younger”.

I was super-active until I had ankle problems at 19: football three to four times a week over winter, basketball all summer almost every day, running, and so on. I kept up in my 20s by walking a lot and the semi-periodic footie or basketball game with colleagues, until about 28.

Then I bought a car and had kids, and my body exploded. A lot of athletes end up pretty big once they retire.

“Starting young” for regular exercise is fundamentally meaningless, imho. It’s much more important to find ways to fit regular exercise in everyday routines that adults with commitments can stick to without having to spend mental energy on it. Whoever can come up with a simple way for a 30-40-yo to keep fit without having to think about it is going to be a bazillionaire. Walking is a good start, but the combination of car-friendly cities, the need to care for minors, and a society constantly running at breakneck speed, makes it an unrealistic choice for most.

> Damore never argued for google to violate EEO laws, and in fact it’s the opposite.

While this may not have been his intent, this ruling appears to imply that the EEOC thinks that the content of his words do amount to that.

You can disagree, but my expectation is, being that they are EEOC lawyers and you are not, their understanding of what does or does not violate EEO law is better than yours.
> First, the idea that "code is data" is a popular aphorism, but even the most casual reflection on what this slogan actually means will reveal that it can't possibly be the right answer.

I disagree with this statement. Support for your argument seems to stem from the other statement you then make: "What makes Lisp cool is not that programs are data (because all programs are data), but that they are a particular kind of data.".

Personally I think it's not a good argument, for the following reason: I would guess that 99% of the people who argue that "code is data" is what makes Lisp cool, mean exactly that -- that code is expressed as lists of lists (and they are thinking of all the nice implications of that).

So effectively, you are saying that the statement is invalid because it could mean something else, but almost all of the people who make that statement are making the exact same argument you are for why Lisp is cool.

I opened your article expecting to find an explanation of why some other feature or set of features of Lisp was way more important/useful than just code being written as lists of lists, only to find that you were arguing for the importance of that exact feature.

So while it is worth pointing out that having code as a list of lists has awesome implications, I guess I would have gone about discussing in a different way.
The way this whole thing played out makes me sad, because the guy did bring up a good point - current-day social justice leaves little avenue for well-meaning but unaware (perhaps through privilege) people to start conversations and learn about the reasons and motivations for certain efforts such as affirmative action and changes in vocabulary. Damore was indeed punished for speaking out, just as he feared.

Then he started retweeting Breitbart articles and selling "Goolag" t-shirts and threw his credibility out the window, and solving the problem of "how do we bring people on-board with the diversity thing without scaring them off" is again put off to another day.

With a startup founded at SU (in 2014), and as a YC company (W2016) I would like to add some color to this discussion.

The Bloomberg article has one goal; discredit SU! Statements such as 'Google pulled their funding from GSP' is just plain wrong. According to SU, THEY decided to pause GSP. Google, therefore, moved their support towards the SU Startup program.

The article talks about bad sexual behavior from a former employee back in 2013. When I was at SU in 2014, I thought it was almost cringing to hear how everyone was instructed NOT to engage romanticly with anyone. I was like, c'mon, we're grownups!! To say that they didn't learn from the 2013 incident is not true. And.. the 'financial fraud argument' is ridiculous - any company can experience a bad employee. Fired and out - whats more could they do?

Here is my SU experience. In summer 2014 my co-founder and I attended the GSP program:

- We were 80 students with different domain expertise from 36 countries. We spent 10 weeks at SU's campus at NASA Ames in Mountain View.

- We were briefed about a broad range of technologies, so we had a general understanding of which direction tech is moving.

- The worlds most pressing problems were presented. Think shortage of food, clean water, energy crisis, access to health, etc.

- The 'homework' was now to come up with moonshots that could impact +1b people positively in 10 years.

Was that experience valuable? Yes. Though none of the SU companies have hit the 1b person impact mark, it has seeded a wide range of projects - our own company is one.

One of the hype machines of this world is Peter Diamandis, the co-founder of SU. He might be too much of a capitalist for my taste, but his consistent launch of moonshots is wild and he is an extraordinary entrepreneur... Have you guys seen X-prize, Planetary Resources, and Human Longevity? Just yesterday he launched 'Celularity', and raised $250m in funding for using 'waste placentas' to develop new stem cell therapies. SU was founded to create similar moonshots.

SU used to be a non-profit but switched to a for-profit model to expand their reach. That's how conferences came about. I too ask myself if it's sustainable? Maybe. Change is happening quickly, and big corps are used to pay big bucks for the consultants of the world. In that world, SU's brand on 'exponential thinking' is fragile, but they are trying to expand their offering. The risk in their business model is how hard they ride their brand, where articles like this one are straight out poisonous.

I would take a look at who is promoting this article. Who would benefit from the SU slandering? There is a lot of money in conferences, and SU just announced $32m to address that market.

My thinking on SU is that it's an organization educating people on technology development, with a goal of framing it into positive human development. The world needs more of that!

At least for us, that thinking helped us frame a solution, with a very large potential for positive impact. Later, YC was the perfect segway into creating a scale-able company.

Anyway, wanted to share my two cents..

We're still losing vast amounts of ancient tropical rainforest whilst we've started to increase temperate and mostly boreal forest (coniferous).

Google prefetches AMP Content. It can’t do that for HTML pages, so how is it possible that Google is showing slow amp pages before fast html? Is there an example of this that you can point to?
what's the threat model here? if the site owner is malicious, then sure, they can exfiltrate form contents while you have scripts disabled, but i'm not sure how you'd enter your SSN into a malicious site to begin with.

if it's via xss, i'm not sure what the advantage of this is compared to a javascript payload, other than you being able to get those tinfoil hat folks running noscript.

"TweetBot" has been the canonical "good" Mac Twitter client for a while now. But there are strict limits on the number of clients Twitter allow for third party companies, which is why it's so expensive - so that they do not hit that limit.

The whole situation is a mess.
Who exactly is making the choice about palm oil? The dude who owns the plantation? The guy who works on it? The guy running the company buying the palm oil to make Nuetella? The person buying the Nuetella?

Someone is deciding it's better to have palm oil then orangutans. It's hard to value something that you'll only ever see on a screen or in a zoo. How can you even say you'll miss it? Compare that to your second lambo. Even if you never drive it you see it in driveway every day.
Expressiveness can be good–but at a conceptual cost, because you must now understand how those fewer lines of code do the same thing as a program in another language that isn't as expressive.

I'm glad it's a big win for you! But in the main, I think, it's a tradeoff. Expressiveness has a cost; simplicity has a cost.

Personally, I think it's best not to get too attached to specific concepts or languages, because times change, and needs change. If you're a good programmer, you can learn any language and any concept you need to.
And kind of like Linux, you have a patchwork of unsatisfying solutions.

Mapbox isn't always cheaper than Google. They have not lowered their tile prices in years, for example. And on geocoding and some other APIs they give out poor results compared to Google. Do they have competition? Cloudmade went in some car-related direction. Mapzen never managed to have a real business plan.

And your "excellent small providers"? Yeah, Andy may be able to create some bespoke solution for you if he has time, and Geofabrik can wrangle some host-it-yourself setup onto AWS, but it's still very true that OSM themselves don't have a good story on a lot of mapping needs. You can either browse their web map with unusable search or download the 38GB database, and that's about it. No wonder many businesses just pay Google rather than dive into the rabbit hole of OSM.
So, alternatives? I have Twitter on the side next to my browser. Using Twitter in a separate window doesn't work because Twitter for the web isn't mobile friendly and mobile.twitter.com doesn't refresh if the window isn't in focus.
I suspect it's more likely it will turn into a joke. If I tell you you're at risk of 1 or 2 types of cancer, you might worry. If I give you a list of 800 things you're at risk of, you'll either ask your doctor, or glance at the results and ignore it.
Hi, I completely agree you. I am currently learning how to code. I am at that point where I know the syntax of of a few language pretty well and can code up small programs.

However, I do have difficulties in architecting and developing a fully functional application.

How did you solve this problem?

Nothing. Even though you've commented on my post. Guess, it would have got in the way of the flow of negativity. Same goes for maps.me.
I'm pretty romantically active and I'm not saying I never smell, sometimes after a couple hours of exercise I do, but I can tell when I do and my romantic partner will tease me about it.

This isn't a case of me not smelling it. I just have another cold shower whenever I need one. But generally speaking most exercise is fine.
Bash and zsh also have vim mode. The bash mode is more like vi though.
A more accurate analogy might be a memo claiming that southerners are poorer than northerners because they lost the Civil War. Would you consider such a memo harassment?

Author here. My intent was to say, "When someone I know asks me if RL is a good idea, the answer is no >= 70% of the time." The important missing piece is that it's conditioned on that person asking me in particular. I don't have the largest profile, so the people who ask me about RL are generally well-informed about RL and have some practical ML experience too. Within that set, 70% felt like the right lower bound.
This makes sense to me as a Venmo equivalent, but doesn't Chase have a QuickPay feature that uses Zelle? Is it more secure from there or corner-cutting?
> > were discriminatory and constituted sexual harassment, notwithstanding his effort to cloak his comments with “scientific” references and analysis and notwithstanding “not all women” disclaimers.

> I find this disturbing.

I find this very disturbing as well. The only way that even the most ardent opponents of Damore's memo can come to a "discriminatory" and "harassment" interpretation, is to disregard a literal, face-value reading of the memo and impute motivations to him. So basically, any employee commentary on an employer's policies with regards to the EEO's goals can be held to be "discriminatory" and "harassment" because it "sounds bad" and "sounds like" it's against EEO's goals, even if that can't be demonstrated on a factual basis.

You will fall in line, and you don't even dare sound like you're secretly against us. How is that not "thought-crime?"
The whole point is to wait until your body's bacteria, etc has come back into balance. One or two days doesn't work.
Zelle has similar protections as ACH. There are different kinds of "fraudulent transactions". It protects against account compromise but not fraudulent sellers. Same difference as between checks and credit cards.

Shouldn't use Zelle as the seller because could be from stolen account and reversed.
The memo was written as part of a company training event.
Damore attended a training and then wrote a response when asked for feedback. Very much doing his job.
I wonder if banks will step up and start providing protections. I am not really sure how protections work on PayPal in these scenarios. How does PayPal decide if this is a scam. And if PayPal decides to return money who bears that charge in case scammer already takes the money and closes the account?
You don't have a legal right to engage in science-based discussion of anything at your workplace!

Damore's claim is subtly different. He relies on the fact that you do, under the NLRA, have the right to organize to change workplace conditions. But your right to do that is enforceable only through the NLRB, is an exception to at-will employment, and is trumped by federal and state EEO laws. When employee organizing conflicts with employer legal compliance, the employer's low burden to justify a termination is even lower.
Zelle in their sales pitch even says its great for sending money to friends and people you know, but don't transact with strangers on it.
It's easy enough to test. Use lemon juice on one side, and your favorite deodorant on the other.

Of course, no deodorant is a substitute for soap and water now and then.

He actually missed my least favorite thing about the promise API, which is that they fail silently. I'd argue that by default, an unhandled rejection should throw an exception at the end of an event loop, with an opt-in for the current behavior per-promise.

I have never had the fortune of working for a manager who prioritized quality over (sometimes imagined even) random dead-lines.

Developers' complaints sound like gibberish to them ("Plus, they always complain, such perfectionists!") and when the shit hits the fan, sometimes years later, well, it might not even be their problem - they've been promoted by then, fucking up another unfortunate team.
Well, actually, the cache sidechannel timing attacks were fairly well known for quite a while.

It's just nobody put two and two together.
This is actually mostly due to lack of public information in the processor manuals.
Otherwise it's quite likely it would have been discovered 5-6 years ago at least.
The memo had a section dedicated to changing Google to make it more welcoming to women. It mentioned "pair programming" as one female-friendly culture change.

Checks and cashier's checks can be reversed. It is common scam to send forged cashier's check, have victim deposit, and send some of the money by irreversible wire transfer. When the bank, or account holder, discovers the fraud, it will be reversed and the victim is out the money.
Each brand within a portfolio still has a team of people for marketing, sales, etc including analysts that can surely tell if the brand is selling more or less.
P&G has a huge portfolio of products but they still have people dedicated to Head & Shoulder, this isn't just bundled up all together where nobody knows what's happening with each product line.

As for how many people need to join a boycott to make it worthwhile, well this is the same argument as voting. One at at time might not seem huge but once more people know and change their habits, this does have an effect on the market. See organic food, that did start very small but there has been a slow but gradual switch in consumer behaviors.
That was a great explanation. But if I understand this correctly, you're actually agreeing that homoiconicity is (at least a big part of) what makes Lisp cool, but you're avoiding using the word.

Or, perhaps, you're saying that it's not just homoiconicity. It's that it's the right homoiconicity - lists. Lists are well-suited for being processed as data in Lisp (kind of the point of Lisp, really), and lists are great for representing code (abstract syntax trees), and lists are really simple to parse if they're represented cleanly.
Sweat itself doesn't have much of a stink. But if you let it ferment, it is unbearable. As long as you take a bath daily, change to a fresh pair of clothes daily and are not sweating all the time, BO is never really a problem.

That's great advice. We have a B2B product and, as you say, we need to get our message out to these specific users. Frankly, I don't think that our "launch" will matter much down the road, but we have been advised to not let the "newsworthiness" of the event go to waste, meaning that we should take the opportunity to get some press. It probably isn't worth 7k, though.
It's one thing to assume the null hypothesis. Quite another to discard ANY experience or data because it violates the null hypothesis.

Damore certainly cited many studies, and while there's valid criticism of their validity, "they disagree with the null hypothesis, ergo they are false" is not right.

Nor is "I have not read them, therefore the null hypothesis is right".
