Your comment contains a bunch of suppositions that are by no means widely accepted or indisputable truths.

For example you characterize Tinder's mode of conduct as "masculine posturing". Inherent in that comment is the supposition that there is something toxic about masculinity itself.

Imagine if someone called Bumble's letter "feminine posturing". Irrespective of the content of the letter, could you ever perceive the use of that term as anything but ignorant and misogynistic?

You also claim there is a "gendered power structure", and imply that Tinder is part of it, which is a very serious and broad allegation, that's made without supporting evidence, which is irresponsible.

You claim that "gender is a cultural mode of expression (and it is most certainly not a tribe you have to defend, so just calm down, guys)", but the letter says Bumble is proud to be women-run.

It's not necessarily bad to embrace femininity and celebrate a company being run by women, but be upfront about it, and don't gas light anyone who recognizes it as a form of tribalism.

Instead of trying to cast women as victims, and men as victimizers, I think we should step back from identarianism and recognize that members of both genders are disproportionately afflicted with their own set of maladies (e.g. 92% of workplace fatalities afflict men) and that it would be more constructive to put aside this 'which gender is a greater victim' competition and focus on empowering all individuals irrespective of gender.
> or see a meaningful effort to rebalance gendered power structures as sexist

Given that the app is designed around encouraging people to treat professional networking as a dating opportunity, it's not entirely clear in what direction they're trying to rebalance things.

It has scroll but inside the content box. Does the scroll bar not show for you?
There's a lot of "natural" toxicity of bad hires, and it does inspire a lot of fear. Additional state-imposed toxicity makes it even worse.
Probably because it was completely out of place and was only inserted to play the victim female card. I'd be surprised if Tinder's attempts at buying them out or sueing them would not have occurred if the founders were male.
I believe the issue is that noone really knows whats going to be built from both City of Toronto and Sidewalk Labs, here's Sidewalk CEO's AMA: https://www.reddit.com/r/toronto/comments/7p8wf9/hi_im_dan_d...

Although it mentions partnership, there are no concrete projects in Toronto mentioned from Sidewalk Labs even in the AMA. Whereas for City of Toronto, I would say they just have no clue whats really going on.

I would hazard a guess to say that maybe its too early to come up with anything as they're dealing with physical buildings and some sort of land/property development or that there just wasn't that much planned in the first place because its an initial trial.
The big picture being that sometimes war is near?

That still doesn't answer why put this guy over someone else. Qualifications? haven't really read much about him to be honest.

Also why does it matter what that guy has to say about Trump? Is it really that clear to him that we need to listen closely to what he has to say? What interests specifically is he talking about? do you know?
>Which leads us to a bought political system, at the moment at least.

Some would say it has always been bought, because markets are made to serve people (some of those people may have different governments), and the people running the markets will use that leverage over others in varying degrees…
I have found while the C++ error messes can be very long, its surprisingly often in the first line of the error message that you see the problem.
The problem is I want to work ten hours a day.

But my employer can't legally do that without paying massive penalties. So I have to take a part-time job on the side for much less money per hour.
I feel that it's unlikely that ulterior motives are in place, given that Signal's core user base consists of privacy conscious folks, thereby preventing an easy pivot towards a closed ecosystem once critical mass is reached. It's likely that if this were attempted, someone would just fork Signal, with support for some kind of decentralization, and split the user base in two.

However moxie seems to have an outdated form of federation in mind when he gives examples of IRC and email. While it is true that these technologies have been quite rigid, there are other examples of distributed technologies that are quite flexible in implementation. Bitcoin and Mastodon are examples where changes and updates are pushed through regularly.

The determining factor seems to be the amount of control the principal developer holds over the ecosystem. Mastodon instances basically all run the same code, and (mostly) everyone is happy with the direction they are going. Thus, Eugen pushes a new release, everyone runs it, and protocol changes can propagate throughout the network. Old nodes get left behind. However, say Eugen (or Signal) massively screws up, and they get forked. Now, any protocol changes must be adopted by both camps (who by definition have differing philosophies) to be fully applied.
Target date funds aren’t index funds, and have higher fees.
Exactly this. They're responding to an IP law threat with an appeal to emotion through weaponizing one of the hottest topics in the media. It's a genius PR move, bring morality into a trite legal dispute, gain righteous upper ground.
I don’t see Bumble any differently because they are women owned or women led, they are just a startup likely infringing IP that’s using the best possible PR angle to defend themselves.

In the public perception their mission statement matters, but not to the law.
It doesn't matter until you have proven the viability of your concept/product. Go with what you know best, which sounds like RoR. No framework is going to magically make things easy.
It was a book about the "MEAN stack" (Mongo, Express, Angular Node), so we're probably remembering the same thing.

Not sure what you mean by end goal of the question. You mean end goal of calling in?

Partly, I wanted a good story to tell. But I suppose I did entertain the idea that "maybe just this once, I can influence one person who has more power than me and everyone I know. maybe this can go somewhere". But nope, to him social media trolling is the same as having a beer. Fast forward some months later and he gets his bail revoked for trolling on Facebook.

It really is disappointing. I do think he's intelligent. Likewise, I do think he should have done better things with his time and hate to see him act out like a toddler wanting attention. He's wealthy, educated, has experience leading companies. He doesn't need to learn some particular web stack to prove he's a hard worker or troll social media to prove he's fun. Why does a person with so much opportunity at their disposal care so deeply about what the internet thinks?

Now he's going to prison and his potential is going to be squandered for a while longer. Hopefully it will be a learning experience for him as a person at least. He's got issues to work out.
Yeah, there's an open issue. It's on my list, but since it's trivial to just install the binary with a different name, I haven't gotten around to it.
Review of collaborative album: Goanese guitarist and Jamaican saxophonist (2015)
Hey, I'm all in favor of you working on new ideas, but only within an existing corporate environment. But there's plenty of proof that that's a terrible way to advance society at large.
Brilliant. I'm on the right track then. On a typical day, I finish dinner by 8pm. My next meal is lunch the following day (around 12 noon). Although I do have tea with milk in the morning (it's a national thing -- our people cannot function without the morning tea).
What tyranny exactly?
I don't understand why this is downvoted. This is exactly how a PR firm or department will handle those things.
Watch the Hitchcock film of the same name, and it’ll become very clear what the proper use of “gaslighting” is.

Real talk right here.
It's not surprising, as right-to-work legislation was intended to be a "starve the beast" method of union busting. Can't make unions illegal without an uproar (probably unconstitutional to do so as well, right of free association), but you can deprive them of funding by removing mandatory membership from employee contracts.
I’m open to decriminalization. There’s a spectrum between criminality and unrestricted markets. I think we’re way to far towards the criminality side of that spectrum. We can start decriminalizing now, open up more if it appears to work.

Whatever policy we choose, it should have a clear goal and be evaluated against how well t achieves that goal. “Fewer deaths by tainted drugs” and “fewer sex workers living with abuse” is a good place to start. I think decriminalization work further both of those goals.
Don’t worry guys, we just need a few more rounds of QE to fix the economy.
People are not evenly distributed on the surface of the earth, most of which is ocean. Nukes do. It target randomly, they target population centers and strategically valuable regions. Most people live where nukes are aimed, which is why they are aimed there.

15,000 warheads concentrated where humans live, on the fraction of the 27% of Earth that isn’t water. Be reasonable.
> If the SC decides the admin fees are not mandatory then unions are going to have a tough time. If enough idiots opt out of membership the union will not be able to afford a solid contract negotiating team or even an enforcement team. This will let companies strike contracts that are much more in their favor. And presumably the employee's will blame the union and more will opt out... until the union is no longer financially viable.

Right-to-work legislation in a nutshell, and it worked.
I know CSS very well and I really don't like it. I can't wait until components make all the ridiculousness of "cascading" go away. Explicit inheritance would be far less messy IMO.

I currently use Vue and I scope as much CSS as possible.

In case you're not seeing a problem with cascading, let me give you a scenario. It's not a scenario everyone will run into but in a sense it's the same problem in every CSS project. This is just a very concrete example.

When you create a UI that is supposed to be added to a web page (think browser extension) you have to manually override every single possible CSS attribute to make the styling consistent across web pages.

The shadow DOM is the first thing that helps this, but it's still not popular enough to use.
> Riot can't be it because network effects.

This isn't a reasonable rejection of Matrix / Riot. Every time you want to move a lot of people, you need to have network effects in order to make it work.

I believe that Matrix / Riot are going to be the best way going forward if you want something that is accessible, is actually privacy preserving in many ways, and doesn't require lock-in. Same goes for ActivityPub / Mastodon, which has a real possibility to replace ordinary social media with a federated system that is privacy-preserving in similar ways (with the note that we need to have some large instances people can use -- similar to how many people use the main Matrix instance).
I don't know what perception of the country you have but it's not the Soviet Union you know, having financial issue is a valid reason to fire employees. The US is the only developed place without reasonable workers laws so it's more an exception than anything else.
Yea I'd disagree. Like the process of evolution, I believe that ideas and the mutation and the proliferation of those ideas are what leads to progress. More seeds.
>Universal rules definitely exist in the form of things like supply/demand curves.

There are no universal rules for economics in reality. There are generally useful models, that often fail spectacularly. All the universal rules you can think of depend on simplifications that never actually hold--rational actors, perfect information, perfect competition etc...

>I would rather live in a hardcore capitalist hellhole than in the shambles of a failed society that would result from the alternative.

That really depends on the alternative. USSR?, North Korea?, Cuba?, Feudalism? I can think of some pretty bad failure states for capitalist hellholes.

> We should be wary of assuming that non-market intervention is necessary, but we shouldn't shy away from acting when that intervention is necessary.

Sounds rational to me.
Why not blame both? The human should have been paying attention.

But it's obvious that riding long stretches in an automatic car is going to lead to people getting bored and distracting themselves and not paying attention. It's a HUGE topic in every discussion on self-driving cars. It's why Teslas require you to grab the wheel every 15 seconds.

Uber should have short shifts, bans on personal cell phones, attention and tiredness tracking (which IIRC Volvos already have!) etc, etc to combat this. But they don't actually care, it's just a regulatory checkmark, so they stick some minimum wage warm body in there on a full-time shift and this is what happens when it gets late.

Other safety-conscious know that humans will cut corners and hence have tricks like safety interlocks, double-checks, multiple people involved etc to combat that. In aerospace you can't just say "well the maintenance guy shouldn't have done that, 300 people died and it was all his fault" - you have redundant systems, verifications, checks, etc.

edit: from the article, Uber used to have two safety drivers in each car, but cut it down to one for whatever reason

> When Uber moved to a single operator, some employees expressed safety concerns to managers, according to the two people familiar with Uber’s operations. They were worried that going solo would make it harder to remain alert during hours of monotonous driving.

They knew this was going to be unsafe but did it anyway

I've had renewed interest in C recently, having been away from it for nearly 10 years. This renewed interest comes from working with golang for the last few years, and has caused me to find this book[0] which discusses ways to implement OOP ideas in pure C. Not to promote Go, or OOP, but rather I wonder if selecting useful idioms form modern languages wouldn't be a better intermediate step to updating C, then language level changes.

Well, that's not what Article 9 says, at least according to this source.

"Unless required by some other law (employment or real estate) – don’t collect any data about race, politics, religion, union status, health data, sex life or sexual orientation."

That's why we're working hard to poison the water and replace the oxygen with unbreathable CO2. It's hard work, but we're getting better at it every day. Soon, terrorism will be nothing but an archaeological curiosity for visiting extraterrestrials.
Say you do a single feedforward pass. How do you verify that its output is the result of a trained network-and particularly a completely trained one?
Well, the shops were lacklusting so everyone decided "let's not go there". Most of those were in locations that would be convenient too, you didn't even need to go out of your way to go to a Target. People still decided not to shop there. That's pretty much voting with your wallet.
By all means, if a country prefers economic suicide for startups instead of birthing the next Silicon Valley, it's a valid choice.
>... we certify the vehicle and its software

Certify what, that the car passed the test track? That’s not the hard part.

The hard part is taking responsibility for the performance of the vehicle including the liability for accidents and malfunctions.

When the autonomous vehicles become a comercial reality they will be need to be treated like aircraft: regular maintenance by certified engineers and NO unapproved modifications. Gone will be the ability to pimp your ride, gone will be back yard mechanics and certainly no “jail broken” cars running modified software on the road.
Proponents of a largely deregulated labour market love talking about France. As someone working in Australia—a country with labour laws that are more sane than France (and definitely the U.S.)—instantly bringing up France just tends to stink of a false dichotomy and a line of rhetoric from people that try to justify the U.S.'s unjustifiably unfair labour laws.

I suggest that people who aren't familiar with Australia's labour laws have a quick look at https://www.fairwork.gov.au/. There are some problems, but it gives you an idea of practical alternatives to at-will employment.

Main relevant takeaways:

- Unfair dismissal legislation preventing employers from terminating employees unless they were grossly negligent, malicious, or didn't respond to performance management.

- Unfair dismissal claim protection for small businesses provided they can show evidence of following a (very short, fair, and easy to read) code with regards to the employee's termination.

It's extremely hard for me to empathise with business owners who openly have issues with these protections. At the very least, it's apparent that this dismissal wouldn't stand in Australia, as it shouldn't. Executives dismissing a support employee—out-of-touch executives who have probably forgotten how important an ongoing income stream is for people on low or even normal incomes—just to save face in a business relationship is in my opinion unjustifiable. Regardless of your view on labour laws I think most people agree on this.
Great idea! Immediately made me think of this video:

Richard Garriott?
That’s a terrible analogy. It’s more like the Nazis getting someone fired for liking a tweet about Austria or Czechoslovakia still being a country.
> I thought the Americans liked capitalism.

Depends from which account they accidently "liked" it.
> This plays out in that men essentially swipe right on every woman they come across (we're forced to in order to have any chance of making a connection), and women end up bombarded with more choices than they can meaningful sort through.

This is not at all true for all men (I have never heard of this being necessary from an IRL friend).
It's true that Star Trek is just a story. OTOH, a machine that cheaply and quickly assembles feedstock into pre-programmed patterns is not physically impossible like warp drive -- it's just something we can't yet make. 3d printers are a crude preview. 19th-century people could have tried to forecast the consequences of Babbage's idea of a computer. It wouldn't have been a ridiculous thing to try: they had electricity and classical economics.

OTOH I wouldn't expect a look at a world with 'replicators' to look much like Star Trek, in the same way Robin Hanson's The Age of Em reads differently from Altered Carbon.

There are many differences between what Mr. Buffett says and does. People claim he got rich by investing. Nope ! He got rich by amassing start capital early and getting incredibly lucky making easy bets on insurance (talking people into giving him the contract in the first place, then not having to pay out). He only started doing investments after that.

Even today, there's a good reason BRK is listed under insurance, not investment.

Second problem is that he is very, very much an activist investor. He doesn't buy shares, he buys 5% and up, and sometimes controlling interests. He invests enough that he is invited to talk to senior management before he even buys and bases investment decisions on what he hears mostly. That's his investment process. Sure, there's due diligence, but nobody reading this can do that !

I don't understand that the guy's an investment guru. Investment is a hobby for him at best, and it's not investment like you or I can do.

> the first is that how do you verify that the hardware owner is running the real job an not NOOP'ing and sending false results?

Consensus. Have _n_ nodes perform the same work (if it’s deterministic), and only accept (and pay) if all the nodes match - or at least the nodes that were part of the majority

I don’t think this would be considerably different from SETI or folding@home, which have been going on for around twenty years.

For my senior project in college one of our ideas was a distributed render farm that operated like what we’re talking about. There were some additional issues there (transfering assets, preventing node owners from extracting the output [say a studio was “letting” fans donate compute time to render a feature film], etc).
Hey there, just letting you know hat we’ve listened to what you said and added a skip intro function and fixed the crashing issues.

I wouldn't classify living in an RV as "homeless". Lots of people do that and just pick up mail in a post office box.

There are people near me living on boats, because the monthly slip fees are cheaper than rent. That doesn't make them homeless or poor.
This is a generalization, but I wonder if what we're seeing, with the job world becoming more evenly split between the genders, is men and women playing to their traditional strengths to advance in their professional goals. Historically women don't pick up the club and physically assault their opponent. They instead often indirectly attack a challenger's reputation (see shaming, guilt inducing etc), which is still very powerful.

Men, when facing a challenge, will avoid complaining, buckle down and try to power through the obstacle. Women, on the other hand, will play the victim card instead of using brute force, and will rely on their cunning to accomplish the same business goal. Both strategies are likely very effective.

I wonder if, as we have more majority-women and women-led organizations, we will see more of these indirect tactics deployed by those organizations. More covert corporate warfare than what we're traditionally used to. Nothing wrong with it per se, but just a shift in tactics people might have not foreseen.
I've heard a lot lately about people who avoid many expenses, including rent, in order to save a lot from decent jobs and retire early. If the author of this blog post had talked to them, maybe conclusions could have been drawn.
