You guys are good. But I have a suggestion. Have your friend reach out first and say he knows someone she will really click with. If she doesn’t go for it, THEN you reach out.

Dating as it stands is only a recent phenomenon. It is far better when three people with different preferences keep the others in mind when out dating. Far better to do introductions than always be out for yourself.
re: If people don't even know what gender you are/what color your skin is, can they actually be intentionally racist/sexist towards you?

Hmm, why do you think intentionally is important in that sentence?

It wouldn't surprise me at all if making the site unfriendly towards newcomers affected minorities more. That seems... bad? And if so, anonymity wouldn't fix it.

It's funny how being results-oriented seems to be counterintuitive to many people whenever a discussion touches on morality. Somehow the issue of good intentions (or lack thereof) overrides everything else.
I take it you've never been an outsider in any community you've been forced to be a part of.
I like the part where dragging on my phone scrolls the page the opposite of the direction I'm dragging.

I think this happens when I drag one direction, then change my mind and drag the other, and the site (sorry, "app") forgets to forget my previous drag.
I like the old brand better...

If there are people who need an answer, and people happy to provide that answer (and perhaps a bit of kind coaching on how to find answers in the future), what is the downside of letting them connect on stackoverflow? Nothing is forcing people to hang out in the novice area answering repetitive questions if they don’t want to.

The downside of disallowing ‘unworthy’ questions is that people feel made stupid for asking, and unwelcome. Also, people feel made stupid for answering, and unwelcome. There is plenty of elitism in tech, and you could keep the main stackoverflow for unique, well-asked questions, as well as adding the novice area.

The advantage of having a novice area of stackoverflow is that more people will use the site. While not every question will be great, the total number of great questions, and the total number of people helped, will be higher.
Reminds me of GATACCA where the woman kisses a man and the goes to a booth to submit the DNA to make sure he is a 'good catch'...
I lived through 99 and 07. In 99 when the crash was burning the tech industry to the ground I remember lots of people I knew for jobs in financial companies working on tech. Ironically when that all went up in smoke in 07 they all went back to working for tech sector companies again.

The growth lives somewhere. You do have to make an effort to stay marketable though and that can be tough
Yep. I do understand re: this not being new - worked in a forensic genetics laboratory, and I tell my family what they give up and expose us to if they contribute to one of these db's.

So caveat emptor as always...but yep I had just wondered in general about "right to delete" with respect to genomic data.
There is room for both. Code review of high quality code is enlightening.

Some percentage should be blind. It’s a classic exploration vs exploitation trade off of your time.
Well it's a concept, but it's applied very hypocritically.
It seems mostly about social status. "All lives matter more than anything else but some lives don't matter very much at all" would be more accurate. Some people get millions of dollars in treatment (they're wealthy or have employment with a company with good insurance) while others die slowly for lack of a few bucks for a prescription (they already lost their jobs due to previous illness, mental illness or addiction, or just got unlucky with timing).

Politicians in certain states and in the federal government are doing their best to make sure people without jobs can't get help with affording treatment as well. Frankly to claim that we in the US care more about lives than those in other developed nations with rational disbursement of healthcare funding is just wrong.

Sorry if you weren't implying that, but I think you were.
Will it, though? I would bet most people wouldn't consider "maybe this will expose a murderer in my family" as a realistic possibility, and even among those who would, most probably would be OK with that.

> Edit: or of course they could have sent a saliva sample to one of the genealogy sites, assuming they had enough to part with some, and it was in suitable condition to work with the site's test equipment.

That's unlikely without special arrangements. Have you ever done a 23andMe sample? The tube requires a lot of saliva. My understanding it's vastly more saliva than they need and the main reason is to make it impossible to surreptitiously collect enough saliva to genotype someone without their cooperation via 23andMe etc.
This is a very long-standing problem that Stack Overflow has had so it's good to see them taking it seriously (regardless of whatever the underlying motivations may be).

How long-standing you may ask? Here's my answer from _2010_ to https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/481/whats-the-singl...

I feel sorry for the poor n00bs who come here thinking it's awesome, ask a seemingly innocent question, and then get shouted/voted down for asking a dupe and not searching properly before they asked. And yes, I said 'shouted down', because despite what a lot of experienced users many think, that's what it'd feel like for a new user who's unfamiliar with the S/OFU culture.

I've seen charts on the BLS site that show percentile vs. percentile and at the median salaries, it was about $1MM. It goes down, but there is still a substantial gap for the 10th and 25th percentile, and the gap grows for higher percentiles. I can't find it right now, but here is a comparison of weekly median salaries in 2014: https://www.bls.gov/opub/ted/2015/more-education-still-means...

we can consider 'value' but also recognize that actual market price is another thing. real estate prices can continue to go up and at times actually have gone up in environments where interest rates were rising.

I assume you are looking at the $50-100 trillion of theoretically seizable wealth in the United States. Unfortunately, not much of that is fungible due to the lack of buyers in that scenario.
I think it's reasonable to not be totally comfortable with that. But can you think of a better system?

To address the important scientist point you made, I could see it being in the interest of society to give some people extra special care (e.g. the US president gets top care), although mostly it's hard to value what should qualify someone, as you say. I think in some heartstrings cases we see GoFundMe's and such filling the gap; perhaps that's the proper role for charity in the system?
This is one of the reasons I liked Silex back when I was a PHP dev. It’s a simple micro framework, but built on the same underlying components as Symfony, so porting libraries from one to the other is simple.

Add a tiny bit of structure to take the guesswork out of how to lay out your app (or module — it’s very easy to load one Silex app into another), and it nicely meets that “in between” you’re talking about!

+1. I'd like to add that there's businesses that just don't want to grow after a certain size. Where I'm from there's plenty of small businesses that will make enough the family that owns it and their employees, and they're perfectly fine keeping it that way.

Not all businesses are about taking over the world.

As a noob learning programming one of the issues I see isn't as much hostility as it is the people who seem to vote the most already know the answers.

This creates a bit of an issue at times where folks who know the answer and appreciate an elegant solution provide an answer that while 100% correct... also doesn't tell me much about WHY it is correct. I'm sure it is obvious to the voters, less so to me, and a lot of the "it worked" responses from the people asking make me think they just cut and pasted and I'm not sure learned either.

Having said that there are great people who provide multiple answers in their response with some detail. I don't expect a novel, but I do really appreciate those responses.

My employer made me switch from Flask to Django providing non-scalability reason. I asked around on a few online forums and they told me that flask has no such issues. There was an article where somebody from DISQUS explained how they were able to use flask in production without much hassel and there's no reason to switch to django. My employer told me to not use flask as it is not production grade. The problem was to implement a few web APIs. I switched, reluctantly. I am still not convinced though, given that I have very recently started using Flask/Django, it may come to me at a later time.
Last time this subject came up on Hacker News here, I was inspired to post an idea I came up with after mulling the issue over a bit: mentors. I posted the idea on Meta here:

https://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/365720/feature-requ...

Turned out somebody posted the almost exact same idea here almost 3 years earlier:

https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/254205/opt-in-mento...

And StackOverflow even did an experiment with a different implementation last year:

https://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/365720/feature-requ...

But while there definitely seems to be a movement afoot to tackle the issue, I can see why you're ready to give up. Look at the comments to my question and you'll find this (with a couple upvotes):

@klenwell 'users who downvote without comment or explanation other new users who have given some obvious attention to the composition of their question' I hear these things often. I don't see them when using SO, nor have I seen any evidence that such a set of users exists, and I have asked for such evidence, many, many times. None has ever been forthcoming. I have concluded that such users do not actually exist.

This after I provided a detailed personal account of this dynamic in action. I mean I guess I could start collecting timestamped screenshots or request the server logs from the Stack Overflow sysadmins. For now, I guess I'll just join the chorus of the disaffected here.

One of the arguments against UBI from a moral point of view (ignoring feasibility arguments) is that people will become lazy because they don't need to work to survive and lead to economic stagnation. It's kind of a throw back to the communist / capitalist arguments of the previous era.

While this is somewhat true - there is a subset of the population that would prefer not working, UBI would also unlock the economic potential of another subset of the population who, due to debt, poor living, lack of opportunities, cannot afford to invest in themselves even though they desire to do so.

Revisiting communism as seen in its historical implementation, what communism did was replace opportunity with equality. UBI appears to have no such fantasies, and just give everyone more money. People who have the desire to make a lot of money, utilize their skills to make an impact, get good at things, contribute, and grow, will not have any of that taken away from them, but will get a larger platform for them to do so.

In this generation, investment is becoming the standard track for improvement, similar to college in the previous generation. It's seen as the way to grow your income, value, assets, and lifestyle. While investment is traditionally seen as stocks and asset collection, it's amazing what slight amounts of money can do to free up time. For instance, investing in laundry services, if you use your time well, can be a great investment (although, if you invest in laundry services and then use the time to play video games, you're probably the other subset of the population).

Tracing back to my original point, there's definitely a tradeoff argument to make. Is unlocking the potential of some worth it, knowing that the money will be wasted by others? At what ratio is this acceptable?
Tensor cores are hardware optimized for NN. You call it baggage, Nvidia calls it extra revenue. Because some people need double precision, and those people are willing to pay a lot of money. So the V100 continues to be the cheapest way to train and do inference on NN because you can actually amortize the server cost over time. With tpu, you pay the hourly price forever. TPU are better only in the case of NN jobs that are short in length or you don't have the capital to buy a server. Anything longer, you can buy a Titan v and come out far ahead.

By the way, the Tesla cards have no graphics output, so I'm sure why you'd say they have graphics baggage.
Can you defend the huge marketing budgets of the pharma companies? I have to imagine any new-drug-awareness or training for physician roles covered currently by marketing could be filled adequately at pennies on the dollar compared to current marketing spend. Advertising and marketing are largely zero-sum so we should be able to trim quite a bit of fat there without impacting health outcomes (although cable companies and other advertising platforms would take a hit).
That happens in the USA too, except the bureaucrats are in large insurance corporations vs. large government organizations.
Strength matters a lot for some of these jobs. That explains some of it, maybe even a lot of it.

There's nothing that can "fix" that.
I believe these assessments are made on a general rather than an individual basis. It's not a question of whether treatment should be approved for an individual patient ("death panels") but whether a treatment is sufficiently effective for its cost to be made available.

I think the interesting questions are probably a rangefinding exercise for a) at what age, expressed in employee count, was it pretty obvious that Google would be Google or Facebook would be Facebook, b) at what age, expressed in employee count, did the equity award stop generating lifechanging outcomes for technical employees?

I respectfully submit that the gap between a and b is measured in thousands of employees and/or plural years of calendar time.

There are other companies one could name which looked like they had a better-than-X0% shot of being One Of The Great Ones (TM) which failed (or may fail) to achieve that promise, but it seems a little silly to me to assume that seed stage is necessarily the highest expected value for engineers.

Here is my two cents.

A) Is superior in every way.

Now let me fill in the gaps a little bit and maybe some-one else will find this information useful.

First step is to look yourself in the mirror and ask yourself `do` you find yourself physically attractive? Do you have good posture, Do you have a low 10%-16% body fat percentage? Are you dressed to impress or just dress just it over with?

If you answered no, then 10000% work on those aspects of yourself first before wasting time with dating apps and also meeting people in person.

For the remainder or if you're curious keep reading.

You're going to have to come to the realization there are going to be certain percentage of women out there who want to have sex with you. You're going to appeal to a group of women, Hispanic, Greek, Asian, Caucasian, Indian and age groups. How are you going to find this out? You're going to put yourself out there and be judged by women. It sux's, you're going to get some women who're going to receptive to you and there are some women who literally will run away from your approach to them. Though that is going to be the only way you're going to find out what type of Women are attracted to your personality and your appearance.

Finally, forget dating app's. Unless you're the top 5% tall guy with a six pack and a fantastic smile you're wasting your time and money.

Time that is better spent approaching women and learning.
I thought what the parent comment meant was that there's little to no magic in Flask compared to some macro-framework like Django/Spring. Can you get any more explicit than Flask and still be called a framework, without hitting the socket levels?

I think your sentiment about the futility of resistance is reasonable, but not really well supported. Iraq is probably the best example here. The terrain there is absolutely awful for the insurgents with urban areas separated by vast empty flat mostly desert regions. In spite of this, they've managed to mount an incredibly effective resistance with little more than some rifles developed in the 50s and some homemade explosives.

This reality is arguably a major reason the current establishment in politics has been working to agitate against the second amendment. It has very little to do with harm. For instance the focus is always on "assault style rifles" yet did you know that of all gun deaths (which make up less than 1% of all deaths) that < 3% of those are caused by rifles? Even in mass shootings - the primary weapon is low caliber pistols.

As the UK is experiencing now it's not really weapons that are the problem. It once again comes back to the same problem of people. London earlier this year experienced a greater per capita murder rate than NYC, even though none of the attacks involved guns.

---

But maybe more generally this division in society is the biggest protection of the establishment of politics. The 2016 election was an incredibly good example of this phenomena. How many people voted for Hillary thinking "Yes, this person accurately represents my views and feelings."? And similarly for Trump. But now how many people voted for one or the other thinking, "Oh dear god, this person is scum - but the alternative is unthinkable!"

Societal division in a republic is phenomenally effective at killing peoples' self interest. You can even make people vote for people they don't like, just by making sure they hate 'the other side' enough. Divide and conquer is a strategy as old as they get.
Isn't this the motivation between all centrally-planned economies? No duplicated effort, maximum efficiency. Of course in a free market, the one company just ends up raising its prices to maximize profit; see ULA being the one viable rocket company prior to SpaceX.
No. Entitlement would be to expect a community not to rebuke you despite the fact that you're breaking their guidelines and posting low quality content.
Am I supposed to be utterly shocked this happens?
I don't think that would work well online. I see two major issues:

1. It implies you're so desperately single that even your friends are trying to set you up with people.

2. Whether true or not, it sounds like your "friend" is actually you, which comes across as very cheesy.

There are sites that don't require a sample, but instead you upload the raw data from a site where you did submit a sample. Gedmatch is one such site. One could construct a file in a compatible format containing DNA data obtained from your own laboratory, upload to gedmatch, and analyse matches. This is how "ancient DNA" samples are uploaded to gedmatch to see how you match against thousand year old human DNA samples.
