Yes, when affirmative action becomes status quo, you get a stable population of whoever you are affirming into the profession. However, that is not removing an explicit form of discrimination but rather introducing one.

Certainly, it is quite difficult to predict what psychological profile will succeed in a particular profession. But observing that males tend to succeed in programming is not begging the question whether males have relative genetic predisposition to programming (especially at the top 0.1% google level) but rather serves as evidence for the proposition.

When we observe for instance that Asians are overrepresented as programmers, we don't use that to infer that non-Asians are discriminated against, but rather that for whatever reason Asians seem to possess some trait profile, possibly genetic, possibly not, advantageous for programming work.

I'm not claiming that women were never discriminated against, just that it does not appear to be the best explanation for the observed large trends in gender ratios. For instance it doesn't explain male/female behavior differences in other arenas like criminality while genetic differences does.

What do you mean by "it is"? The Telegram client is open source.
I probably wouldn't use this either, but I can see how it can be helpful. If you do a lot of posts on Stackoverflow, you can get some markdown+code highlighting. People use to Vim can use all it's fancy searching and jumping to specific points of text. You can do regex replaces.

Basically if you want a powerful editor just in case when you're filling out a form or something else, here you go?

It strikes me that Zelle is basically repackaging of wire transfers. And banks have always been reluctant to reverse wire transfers. Because, I think, they're intended to be irreversible, and executed between knowledgeable parties.

Larger projects can now effectively be TDD'd in. Or rather you modify or fix a test in a test file and the tests compile and execute very fast. Or even simply the call to `go run`, `go build` and `go test` will be significantly faster.

This is the kind of difference I'm getting

I've Cardiogram installed on my iPhone and Apple Watch.

In the app there's a statistics page and if what it says there I think many of the other users of Cardiogram surely must lie on their deathbed or are severely sick. :-(

For example, on a slow weekend where I don't even leave the house I still get numbers that my 5000 steps inside my apartment are "higher than 83%" of the other users. Likewise with pulse and other metrics.

The thought of so many people moving so much less and probably eat a lot worse than I do makes me really worried. Will the human body adapt in time or will this turn into an almost plague level of dying soon?
To be fair to Buzzfeed (can’t believe I just wrote that) we don’t know if they did, or if the mystery person who leaked it did.
> It's definitely a worse deal for investors than an IPO as there is no equity being sold.

If you pay $100,000 for 100 shares of Google I guess you're technically getting equity, but what exactly is the advantage of that?

Sure, your broker has a digital ledger that records your ownership, but is that fundamentally different from digital entries in any other ledger just because there's equity?

Whether you buy Google shares or Telegram tokens, the only reason you're buying is because you expect the price to go up in the future.

I'm not sure equity has anything to do with it.
That's a leap that he explicitly encourages people not to make: populations have a lot of variation, and to look at a difference in means as a categorical difference, to convert "women have a higher population mean for trait X" into "women are more X", is wrong both mathematically and ethically.

(... And, yeah, I feel kind of pedantic here, but on this particular topic the people who don't think about it in terms of probability distributions are doomed to talk nonsense, and getting this right actually matters. So.)
The cake is eaten first by the guys with big guns. Then, ICO will likely go public, where public buys enough so that the big guys can dump and get what they invested + interest. If you want in, you are already late to the party...
Where are those genetic differences proven wrong, exactly? Because from what I've read, many scientists ranging from evolutionary to behavioral psychologists don't agree with your stance. For example: http://quillette.com/2017/08/07/google-memo-four-scientists-...
Similar but only for the browser there is the "It's All Text!" Firefox Add-on. I used it for years, but unfortunately it stopped working recently when I upgraded to Firefox Quantum, so "Vim Anywhere" is a welcome alternative. Certainly will try it.
What qualifies as useful but incomplete data is relative (and to a degree -- a matter of opinion). If am told "there is a big mountain here, give-or-take 1 km" that's probably useful. But if I'm told "there is a water fountain here give-or-take 1 km" that is pretty darn useless.

Your data is probably not near as bad as that, but if you put a POI on a map, and somebody goes there, but doesn't find it because its a couple hundred metres away, they're going to assume that it moved/went out of business (and remove the data).

I can think of two ways around this. One is to make a note about the incomplete data you have and hope that somebody finds the actual location and adds it. The second is to go-ahead and add the thing with a "fixme" tag saying "location approximate" or something. I've seen both techniques used in the past.
I think it's just a matter that most people use Windows, and programming software is optimized for linux. I once wrote up all the steps required to get youtube-dl working on windows. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11453506 Which is quite similar to what you need to do to install a programming language. Nontechnical people will get stuck on things like changing path variables, because they have no idea what that is. Let alone compiling something which is frequently required.
We wanted to contribute forest data on Africa back in 2015. It wasn't possible. We'd have to add it via JOSM or the web based editor. So we gave up since it was a no go. Now we just discard the OSM forest data and add our own when updating the map data.
Many jurisdictions define rape in a manner that requires that the person assaulted be penetrated. Under this definition, it is literally impossible for a woman to rape a man, except in cases where that definition would include anal penetration with an object other than a penis. In most jurisdictions, this would be defined as sodomy, not rape.

I don't have stats on sexual assault handy. But I can tell you that, yes, our society does, in fact, teach children (and adults) that rape is something only boys do. This is a fact.
This is exactly the problem you run into when sending mails to Gmail: For them there are only bulk senders and gmail address owners. In their whole documentation / faq they don’t even mention small businesses or regular people owning a mailserver to just get contact other human beings.

People at Google might be the smartest under the sun, but they don’t understand email: It’s primarily a way for people to communicate with each other. In Google’s eyes it’s only a way to deliver advertising to end users.

I partake but there are absolutely negative side effects to both. Cocaine is pretty damn addictive and weed is hardly consequence free either (although it probably has the best accessibility:side effect ratio out of any drug that i'm aware of)
In my experience, this is completely wrong.

We recently shipped a music making app which uses React Native for the UI, which is visually fairly rich and non-standard, including real-time rendering of shaders at 60fps responding to user input using gl-react-native and regl, and overall have been very pleased with the speed at which React Native allows you to iterate and the polish/smoothness of the resulting app; not to mention the fact that it allows us to easily make use of web developers’ existing CSS skills (as compared to writing a native app).

The fairly straightforward bridging between React Native and native code has allowed us to have an audio engine running in C++ and to communicate with it in both directions in real-time without significant overhead.

That’s not to say it’s been 100% straightforward, there were definitely a few rough patches along the way, but overall I would definitely use it again. I can easily believe that e.g. 18 months ago it may have been a much rougher experience which may explain your thoughts though!

Well, with shares you are more or less guaranteed that they will increase in value, if the company does well.

With tokens this is not clear, as it would be possible for Telegram to do insanely well, but the tokens not being very popular/being used for some unimportant feature.
Most studies use self-reported behaviors for how people behave. More invasive studies (as some people have mentioned in this comment section) show that self reporting is inaccurate and, for example, people eat many more calories than they self report. If you have some system of automatic recording of behavior, which smart-phones might be able to do, and individual DNA results, then these large scale studies might be able to tease out what is healthy behavior for people with specific DNA.

The U.S. government has a set of laws that govern what “shares” in a US-listed company mean. If Google’s management tries to completely nullify what equity ownership means, the US government will go and take it back. They will freeze the founders assets. They will ground the company aircraft. They will send scary men with big guns to make arrests of people indicted by a grand jury. Those things are pretty hard to get away from, short of fleeing to Venezuela or something.

Calorie restricted diets confer other benefits like slowing the aging process. [1]

Additionally, it's quite common for those embracing a keto/atkins diet to use it as a warrant to eat copious amounts of red meat or any meat at every meal. There's substantial evidence suggesting such a diet increases risks of a number of serious cancers.

A friend of mine has been using the keto diet to try lose weight for a few years now. He burns through bulk cases of SlimJim beef sticks on a weekly basis. I am not looking forward to the future hospital visits. The last time I tried going on a hike with him he nearly collapsed on the first climb. I'm not trying to suggest keto diets are inherently bad for you, but it certainly seems more likely to be problematic than calorie restriction when viewed through the lens of how the average American is going to apply the keto concepts.

I'm not sure it's supported by a really wide research. Scandinavian countries boast high equality ratings, and feminism being a part of political mainstream, AND social/tax system, which significantly reduces gap between high-, and low-salaried positions as well as competition between employees. And still tech is essentially a male field, and nursing - female-dominated.
Looks like some sort of Star-Wars-style planet-destroying ray has been used on the sphere. Weird things happen after the initial burn passes, too -- the play of smoke on the surface is pretty interesting.
This explanation in the NPR piece is so thin, so poorly researched and so speculative I simply am not able to accept it.

The entire narrative stinks, we need a better one backed by actual data.

Look at the graph, women in STEM falls closer to 1986, when Reagan passed the immigration reform act.

Doesn’t it seem suspicious that Reagan immigration reform landed right on top of this decline?

I do agree that the standard explanation of “men are mean and took women’s jobs” is correct, but I don’t think people are willing to take it one step further and say: “Why did men suddenly become mean when they were egalitarian before?”

With Reagan immigration reform: Chinese, South American and Indian immigrants, especially eldest sons who are expected to support their entire extended families back home, were more free to enter the county and picked high paying engineering fields and pushed out competition (Americans) not willing to spend 18 hours per day studying math and science. This remains true to this day where 80% of masters degrees go to immigrants.

These immigrants would mostly be men because these cultures are male dominated, at least at the time.

The explanation that men suddenly became “mean” in the 1980s and drove women out fails for the same reason that your argument about women’s biology couldn’t have changed either. An influx of meaner men would explain what happened perfectly.

If you open the flood gates to people with different cultural values (especially male dominance), women are going to get pushed out.

My frustration is Liberals in general will refuse to see this part of the argument and instead go with: “white men became mean in the 80’s.”
There's no product yet, they're selling the tokens that will be used in future products.

When we finally find use cases that make cryptoassets relevant to regular people for routine activities, then the skeptics will understand that there's more going on here than just tulips and Ponzis.

Telegram has real potential to do that, it just takes some imagination to see what it could be.

Another problem is the mentality of always being smart. Being smart almost always mean achieving the same thing with less and less effort.

But for some things being smart is being dumb. Why always take the shortest route to minimize walking? Why go over the lawn instead of around when walking is good for you and only <30 seconds will be saved? Is it smart when you'll likely end up overweight, unhappy and with cardiac problems in the next 20 years?

And what about your discipline, patience and character in the long run?

Doing exercise(lifting in my case) makes you realize your limits and over time you realize that being consistent can really help you change yourself.

None of these dapps have implemented or demonstrably plan to implement any systems that require the use of these tokens in a way thats compelling. who cares if youre goldcoins on flavorville are on a blockchain? its such a trivial and incredibly boring use of the infra. I’m actively working in this space on open financial instruments, a common standard and “designer software” to model and test contracts before they get issued and broadcasted by market participants. also needed is a formal specification for contract formation that doesnt cripple rapid prototyping by quant devs or enterprise companies. Mass-market adoption of arbitrarily complex financial products is tricky and could be fraught with problems and dangerous classes of errors, which makes the need for the new instrument types to be interoperable across wallets and exchange venues, while also being editable and more easily deployable is critical to be aware. While displacing intermediaries structurally due to the extinction of prior trusted models, its important to understand that these tokens basically do represent ewuity ownership and calling them in app currency is not a reasonable “trick” to get around securities legislation

As we all know correlation-causation link us not that easy. In 80s programming was a very much different thing - I know it, because both of my parents were programmers (though not in US), and also it was a very small pool at that time, so direct comparison may not be so valid as you seem to believe.

Apache placed React's BSD + PATENTS in "Category-X", banning it from being used in Apache projects:

https://react-etc.net/entry/apache-foundation-bans-use-of-fa...

> The BSD+Patent Grant was designed to combat the patent trolls, but people lost their minds and now it’s gone.

It was designed for Facebook to fight patent trolls, but not for you.
In comparison with saner license like Apache 2.0, Facebook's license only applied to Facebook.

> The BSD licence is objectively worse than the BSD+Patent Grant.

That is false. Please read up on "implicit patents license".

This seems like an odd way to split the data. Is it not the case that healthy-weight people sometimes gain weight in their old age? Your claim seems unfalsifiable: Whatever mechanism is at play that makes healthy-weight people gain weight later in life could also be at play for people who lost weight, and 30 years later regained it in their old age.

To put it another way, it's a silly bar to use to say that weight-loss programs must move their adherents level of health wrt weight past those of normal slim people, and that any weight gain from a former dieter is proof of a diet's failure of efficacy (while any weight gain from a formerly-healthy-weight, non-dieter is just happenstance).

It's tough to look at just the existing data to tease this out, but if you need to resort to a bar as absurdly stringent as that to make your point, I'm afraid it's not a very convincing one.
The memo itself debunks most of what you're saying here - and the insane thing here is that people like you are opposing other's rights to even state an opposing theory.

thirding this.

In the bad old days computers weren't wide spread but just by virtue of having one you would learn programming / tech skills. Today computers are everywhere but owning one doesn't teach you anything as fundamental functionality is hidden/locked away from the user in the name of being "consumer friendly".

Talk about speculative and poorly researched theories :) You took an anecdote (immigration law happening that year) and spread it so thin.

What does "different cultural values" have to do with any of this? If your theory is correct, those immigrants would have just entered the United States... how can they "push women out" because of their culture? They're certainly not the ones (not) hiring them.
