The question is why did anyone vote for this at all? I did see at least it was limited to public companies, but I would think you have zero understanding of business to think you should prescribe the gender mix of the Board.

This would be a massive disadvantage for companies that this applied to.
The Board is an extremely limited number of people making incredibly crucial decisions based on their expertise.

You want the absolutely most qualified people on a well run Board. Imagine having a single opening and knowing exactly who you should hire for it, them agreeing to take on the position, and not being able to hire them... Because they identify as the incorrect gender.

Why should the Board room be forced to have a specific gender balance? Why is it gender specifically which should be balanced and not other factors? Why just for the Board and not for the whole company? What about any or all other subdivisions within the company?

Why target Boardrooms in particular for this policy?

Why not add a checkmark like this:

For all subjects, I oppose freedom of the press, freedom of speech, and the right to read anonymously or express anonymous opinions, regardless of content. If in America, I oppose the fourth amendment ('[t]he right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects') and promise to vote to repeal it."

Then only allow people who check it with an x to register. This should remove any legitimate Tor users from your demographics.

Want to know something really annoying? I bank with multiple banks. One institution uses access tokens. I can link them to my primary bank (the primary has a better "whole picture" view). But does my primary bank offer access tokens of their own? No. They understand the concept, but don't use it themselves.

Of course, I know why. Different teams. There's no cohesive vision to their IT work, same as every other enterprise out there.

EDIT: Cleaned up language. Removed some info I didn't really want here but really botched the posted version when I did.

I'm thinking more in terms of usage of the research. Practitioners at places like NOAA or NGOs only care about the content, they really don't care about whether it was published. Heck, if the work you got published is paywalled, they won't even be able to see it. Government and NGOs essentially never have academic subscriptions.

China's economy is already slowing down, and I expect it to hit a ceiling sooner rather than later. Its advantages over the Western countries are cheap labor, undervalued currency and the freedom from intellectual property-related litigation risks. Its disadvantages are the lack of freedom of sharing ideas, its disconnect from the rest of the world, corruption and a weak justice system. While the advantages are quickly exhausting their effect, the disadvantages are there to stay, so the point of equilibrium must be below the Western countries.

It would help if you would quote the relevant explanation that explains why their own summary—and I quote it again—does not say what I think it says.

The "Author's Summary" says:

> analysis of methodologically robust trials only shows a smaller effect in favour of exercise.

The summary does not seem to say that that the effect disappears. The summary seems to say that the effect is smaller when you only include "methodologically robust" studies, which I interpret to be synonymous with what you describe as "good" studies.

Can you please share what you're reading that says that the effect disappears entirely? Or perhaps you are quoting a different review than the one you linked?
The subtitle claims that a “universal way” was found to solve the nearest-neighbour-search problem for any kind of data, but actually the result is restricted to the (rather huge, of course) set of normed spaces, i.e. spaces whose distance measures obey the triangle inequality.
Sure, but more than half the population doesn't itemize, and doesn't end up reporting expenses, depreciation, etc. Some people would need to provide supplemental information to the IRS, sure, but that's a minority of people.
You are not stating "the fact" you are stating patent nonsense.
One thing to consider is that a larger percentage of data normally stored in our brains is now being stored digitally than ever before. In a very real sense, part of the child's "self" in this article is only accessible via technology. Not just her memories and the deep thinking part of our brains we would call the "zone", but her senses as well - new stimuli like being pinged by someone or having a constant data feed that works a bit like hearing, alerting us to new developments.

I grew up playing Atari at a family friend's house, and saw my first real computer (a Mac Plus) around age 8 or 9 which I feel was maybe my first transcendental experience with technology (drawing with the mouse in MacPaint). I can't even imagine what effect a fully-connected smart tablet would have had on my intellectual and emotional development.

I'm just going to throw this out there, that we shouldn't be thinking of this as internet addiction, but more like, I dunno, asking a kid who grew up in space to live with gravity. Old folks like me (gen x) see kids on tablets and feel this understandable sense of concern, but forget that they are dabbling in their own little infinite universes just like we did. That doesn't release companies from their ethical responsibility of treating children with utmost concern though.
The problem with this approach might be that it's not really teaching them to control their own urges. My parents used to limit my gaming to 2 hours a week, and I abided by that rule faithfully until I got old enough. Then I started playing games when they're not home. Then I got to college and became severely addicted to video games to escape my academic anxieties.
> 2. People currently had any idea what they were spending on taxes

Taxes include all the things. Not just Federal income tax. It gets frustrating comparing tax rates to say - European nations - when they typically will be quoting all-in tax rates other than sales tax (VAT) - where the US number will almost invariably list only the federal income tax rate which tells not even half the story in many cases.

social security, medicare, medicaid, local income taxes, state income taxes, federal income taxes, real estate taxes, sales taxes.

Adding those taxes together equals your total tax load. I think more people are closer to 50% than you'd suspect.
Programs like social security and medicare are re-distributive in nature and indistinguishable from taxes - they simply were marketed differently for political reasons. But lets call them what they are.

> 401k contributions, pre-tax benefits like health insurance, transportation benefits, FSA's, etc.,.

Agreed that those are not taxes - in fact somewhat the opposite!

I don't know how to say this without seeming offensive, but you seem to have really shitty people around you if this is your experience.

The worst I received when asking for directions was a brusque "I don't know" (like, just a couple of times in my whole life). If I ask friends for help, they help. We do dinners together at home and last time I moved, a little army materialized.

If you were looking for reasons to shit on the gig economy (and I would have nothing against it) you could find really better reasons.

Really? There are lots of little independent ATMs around the UK that charge a fee, and if you use a UK card abroad, there's a fee. They're not huge, but they're not zero.
Why bother slurring another site? There are plenty of good faith discussions happening on Reddit.
Good point, I may add that. One thing to keep in mind though: you can create a simple plugin to keep as up-to-date on whatever data you care about as you like. Here's a simple example of a plugin: https://github.com/calebmadrigal/trackerjacker/blob/master/p...

Note that it's about as simple an interface as possible (e.g. no inheritance).
It's true that they were already engaged in hacking attempts, but there was a definite new response "on or about" the date of the tweet:

> For example, on or about July 27, 2016, the Conspirators attempted after hours to spearphish for the first time email accounts at a domain hosted by a third-party provider and used by Clinton’s personal office. At or around the same time, they also targeted seventy-six email addresses at the domain for the Clinton Campaign.

Emphasis added.

I see your point that "on or about" is vague, but it seems like they just appended it to every date for legalese reasons. They would have the timestamps for most of the dates in the document, it's not like they're not sure when the phishing emails were sent. Plus, they're sure about the time, but not the date? How does that make sense?

Regarding the connection not being spelled out in the document, it's not legally relevant so they didn't think to include it. Just because a tangentially related legal document doesn't find it relevant doesn't mean the request being made and accepted is impossible. What's more likely, that Donald Trump made the request, and then the Russians stayed late at the office completely coincidentally to do exactly what was in the request, or that the Russians saw the tweet and stayed late at the office to fulfill the request?

I think most reasonable people would agree that the request was being made, but personal interpretation is moot here because the involved parties agreed that it was a request and fulfilled it.

Buy seeds and grow them yourself.
Run a firewall on a server. Count every ping/scan as an attempted hack. Say you have 1000 legitimate users in a give day. You will probably see 1000 pings, scans, and other general junk per hour. (This is hard to do in places like cloudflare that filter much of this junk traffic before it hits their customers.)
The system would be much easier if my tax software could download what the IRS has. This way it could either do most of the data entry for me; or if I had a dispute, I'd know about the problem immediately.

This is such an infuriatingly typical corporate sleazebag move: "We can't comment because of privacy reasons." Consent is provided. "Uhhhh actually still no comment."

This doesn't seem like a good idea. If this passed I would think you would question if you were hired not because of your knowledge and merit, but because you filled a quota. For publicly traded companies board members also have to be voted in. What is to stop shareholders from not voting someone in knowing that this was a 'quota board member?' Would the company be at fault (ie face penalty) in that scenario if they are publicly traded?

There's also a similar rule of thumb in journalism: "A good journalist makes use of 10 percent of his source material; a bad journalist makes use of 110 percent."
It takes roughly 20-minutes to make a SINGLE good frame using Cycles on Blender. Cycles is a raytracer for 3d modeling.

If you are making a 30-second animation at 24-frames-per-second, that would be 720 frames, or roughly 240 hours (10 days) of rendering. 30-seconds would be roughly the length of a standard commercial.

If you have a computer that is 2x or 4x faster, that cuts the time down to 5 days or 2.5 days. Which is dramatically different. Its mostly a CPU-intensive problem with relatively low RAM bandwidth. (Its RAM-heavy, especially with HDR skymaps. So you need lots of RAM but not necessarily fast RAM).

I wish cars had had this 50 years ago. Camshafts are a terrible way to control an IC engine. But it's too late now.

Ironically, the same advances in power electronics, cheap high-speed computers, and electromechanical actuation that made individual valve control possible also enabled efficient electric drive motors that made valves in cars a non-problem.
I hope you mean the stock.
See previous discussion [1]. What's interesting about this case is that the customer was able to prove what happened, and Lyft still refused to fully engage until the press was involved, and even then, refused to answer direct questions about how it investigates fraud cases and what penalties will be assessed against drivers who do this.

My own suggestion of a solution (in the short-term) remains to alert passengers that they are getting charged a fee for making a mess in the car before the trip concludes, within the app. It's possible this could lead to confrontation between drivers and passengers, but taxi cabs do this every single day. Moreover, I have to think very few Uber/Lyft drivers would be brazen enough to assess a charge when no damage had been done. At the very least, it would allow a passenger the opportunity to take their own photo and video before exiting the car.

Yeah, trackpad is more usable. But also more of a hassle.

I do most things with the keyboard with both hands on the home row. This is great, but there are still applications and some websites where I need to use the mouse. For those things, it's great to not have to move my hands to use a mouse -- it's the reason I really like the TrackPoint.

Once your hand is there though, the trackpad is better. Though you can extend that to; once your hand is on a real mouse, the real mouse is even better. But that's even farther away. And whipping your hand back and forth between mouse and keyboard is really annoying, at least to me.
This is basically correct.

I like shmups/FPS games, but the enjoyment I get out of them is very different then how I enjoy programming.

Zachtronics games feel, at least to me, just like programming, only without the useful end-result. If I'm going to play a videogame to relax, I don't want to feel like I'm working without actually doing anything.

Maybe, if I didn't have a bajillion hobby programming projects that all have lots of things that I can tinker with, I'd have more interest.
Thank you, that's really helpful.
> Most have less than $20,000 but some have much more. The average account balance is $67,891

It is amazing that the median is under $20k and the average is nearly $70k. This means there are some folks with very large retirement savings that are pulling the average up a lot. Considering this only includes folks up to age 32, this is really surprising. How much do these savers have socked away?

Even when I worked in a big law firm, I didn't put that much in my retirement account because I was mostly saving to be able to buy a house (in the Bay Area). I can't imagine who these millennials are that have so much in a retirement account — presumably they also live in expensive areas if they are able to earn so much?

Edit: Glad to see all the responses, including from folks who have healthy retirement accounts. It would be great if you could share where you live and whether you have bought or are planning to buy a home.

Intel could do that. But AMD came out with this method first.

AMD has only been doing this "infinity fabric" thing for a year. Intel was caught with their pants down. It seems like Intel is researching chiplet technology and trying to recreate AMD's success here.

It takes several years to create chips. So Intel realistically won't be able to copy the strategy until 2020 or later. But you better bet that Intel is going to be investing heavily into chiplet technology, now that AMD demonstrated how successful it can be.
I disagree with this. Teams I have been on that are very engineer-driven had tendencies to create products that they thought were innovative or technically interesting rather than something customers actually wanted.

I think broader realizations of this have led to the industry-wide investment in UX research in the past decade. Though I will acknowledge my own bias here in no longer being a software developer and now more of a UX researcher.
my corner includes Nature, Science, and Cell, so it’s a pretty big corner..

Nature has offered the option for two or three years; the problem is that ~nobody uses it because unmasking is trivially easy. As of last fall, 12% of submissions were double blind.

The hyperspecialization of biomedical research means that you get obligate regulatory capture, or something quite close to it. Mostly people figure that trying to paper that over with things like blinded reviewers is a waste of time.

There are also 1.2 million tax preparers in the US. I'm not going to vote for somebody who has the wrong opinion on, e.g., abortion just because they're going to make my taxes easier but if the change to taxes was going to eliminate my job I'd feel differently.

Also, the complex nature of the US tax code means that the people who've put effort into gaming the system and the dishonest also stand to lose if move to a more reasonable system.

So it's really not just about the campaign contributions but actual substantial interest groups.
