Square CFO Sarah Friar to Become Nextdoor CEO
I don't have strong opinions on what motivation that murderer may have had. I just don't have any experience shooting up gay nightclubs that I could draw on to help me offer insight into that one.

I do strongly support the claim that security audits are usually broader than deep because I do that kind of work and am personally familiar with the pressures and motivations described.

In my own experience, and in the experience of all of my friends who do this work, with whom I have discussed this exact topic at great length, the majority of the time we are in fact structurally restricted from going deeper. It doesn't mean this is all the time, but it is the case for most of the billable hours doing this stuff. It pays reliably going broad and not deep.

But you're totally right. That's just like, my opinion man.
I don't really understand removal of graduation rates. Obviously that's meant to act as a proxy for learning, especially for those 38 states without proficiency exams.
Interesting, so in that case, does Taiwan benefit from this ongoing trade war, or is the heightened tension and fear of political/military escalation nullifying any benefit that might be felt?

In theory that's how it works, but removing the president needs VP and majority of the cabinet must agree. After that 2/3rd of the Senate must agree. If Consensus can't be achieved, things become worse than before.

Democratic order, democracy and the law pale in significance compared to the need for the nation to survive or human race to to survive in the worst case.

When the global nuclear war is on the table, I hope that everyone involved understands that all vows and laws should go out of the window if need be. Only thing that matters is preventing the war, whatever means necessary. Even murder is morally acceptable.

I found value in understanding how disconnected chains of command/advising can impact decision making, as well as lessons in assuming how your adversaries will interpret your actions is not always correct.

I understand your point. But, I don't think that just because something like a digital album lacks the physical properties of an apple, it's not a product worth revenue.

Presumably infinite quantities of a something like an album shouldn't suggest that it's worthless. Resources have been invested into it's creation. Artists should be able to recoup some of their investment with album sales.

If it's okay to "copy" music, than the same argument can be made for every other digital product. Games, films, and essentially all software.

Again, lots of bigots in the US, just as there are everyplace else. This is a result of simple human nature however, and cannot be avoided. We just have to live with prejudice and bigotry. Which is why it's important that when it affects a fellow citizens life and limb, we should be "bringing the hammer" so to speak.
Sure I would be happy to.

The tech is called "infinity fabric", you can look it up there is lots out there about it. It basically allows AMD to make several smaller dies and have them function together as one CPU. Here is an excellent video that explains it all (and also goes into why this is such a huge advantage that allows AMD to have significantly better yields with their wafers)

I think it was in the book that came out or one of the many sources from inside the white house where supposedly Trump ordered Asad killed and the order was simply ignored. That was the most dramatic, but not the only report of his own people working around his orders. There have been quite a few such news reports.
On the other hand, imagine what would happen if some of nuclear weapons were based near Donetsk and they would fall into hands of "separatists". Flattened Kyiv?
Or imagine an accident (sabotage) with Ukrainian nuclear weapons.

> Humans are the ultimate adapters.

Well yes, nearly ('extreme' perhaps: 'ultimate' sounds a bit magical), but that's the problem. Darwinian evolution has created a creature than can avoid most sources of population limits that permit ecosystem stability. This same creature has the flexibility to repeat the trick in all regions on the planet, crashing one after another.

And then although our species is (for better or worse) remarkably resilient, agricultural civilisation is far too new to be able to make similar claims about it. The 21st century signs aren't good. It's hard to imagine major climate collapse convulsions not resulting in ongoing wars, probably nuclear.

So yes, literal extinction of humans doesn't seem likely. Some people may enjoy the idea of a dystopic 'The Road' style rag-tag dog-eat-dog existence (though they're probably mostly pale wormy teens who in real life panic when out of reach of a screen). But the breakdown of a planetary society of 7-12 billion (depending on how far into this process we can jury rig nations to hold together) is going to be nothing but a litany of sorrow & pain.
Because it's interesting according to this definition: https://www.sfu.ca/~palys/interest.htm . Also the article mentions the mug example (selling a mug for more if you have one than you'd be willing to buy it for) as being a classic behavioral example of loss aversion. I actually thought it was an example of the endowment effect according to behavioral economists.
The positive experience of Microsoft with OSS hasn't yet translated in a positive experience with Windows.

Windows is still a closed platform, with several issues, like wasting disk space, degrading performance over months, frequent reboots interrupting work in progress and forcing software to be reopened, losing state, too much information on the screen, UI inconsistencies e.g. control panel and 3 different consoles (PowerShell, MSDOS, Bash), forced UI patterns, etc.
Someone might reply to something I wrote in comments a week ago

If you leave a lot of comments, going back a week to check your comments is quite the burden. In practice, this means you may never see such replies.

There used to be a 3rd party HN comment notify service and it went down. It was replaced with a different one. I seem to no longer be getting those either here lately. Not sure when it stopped, but recent-ish.

It doesn't matter that much for current, active discussions. But it does mean I am vastly less likely to have any idea that someone replied to something of mine from a few days back and that has to potential to have me ignoring someone asking a good faith question, among other things. That is something that somewhat bothers me.
I think we ought to build transit despite the objections, but I disagree with this (frustratingly common) line of reasoning:

Locking doors is just papering over the societal dysfunction that leads people to become burglars. If no one had a door lock, maybe they would be more motivated to fix the underlying social issue instead of just pushing crime elsewhere.

Would you actually support the elimination of locks?
The reason for the suspicions are the counter stories about Bloomberg having "only one source" (not 17) and a story about Bloomberg's pattern of writing negative stories about Apple. So it introduces some (legit?) FUD: reporter personal beef/s, hate on the megacorp or legit stories stretching the truth.

Either way, I hope some definitive, well-sourced, highly-documented stories come out from The Intercept or similar to clear up the dis/misinformation.

> Why are you assuming I have no idea of the data available? Because I question the default narrative?

Because you're throwing out wild, unsupported speculation to salvage your narrative, and the original post of yours to which I replied had at least 4 elementary factual errors.

> But I believe my explanation accounts for that - that STEM has become more prestigious, which draws men, which forces out women.

That's not an explanation at all. Why would prestige drive away women? Just because there are men there? Or you think men drawn to prestige don't want women around? Or you think men just flood into any field that has some form of prestige thus drowning out women? So then why aren't the careers they left suddenly dominated by women because all the men left for more prestige? And where are all these men coming from since we have rough equal numbers of men and women? Why are janitors and dangerous jobs dominated by men since those aren't prestigious?

The fact that you think this explains anything or is free of contradictions is frankly bizarre, and just reinforces my point that if you're really interested in this field, you need to more read more and speculate less.

> The "well known psychological attitude" is begging the question, which seems par for the course on responses here. Is this psychological attitude biological, or social?

Likely both, since there's plenty of evidence of things vs. people in toddlers, and this innate preference no doubt gets reinforced and magnified.

In the end, your scoffing at the original poster and "subtly" implying that he's sexist for a remark that is actually well grounded in facts is exactly the problem with debating people on this subject.

Yes, there is sexism in STEM, just like there is in most other fields, but sexism didn't keep women out of medicine or law, they just pushed through and staked their claim. The fact that women haven't done this for STEM which is far less of an old boys' club already suggests something else is at play, and the fact that the same trends are seen across disparate cultures already suggests strongly there's a universal component.
Right, surely these states have some sort of standard that must be met for graduation even if it is not passing some exam.

I am of a strong opinion that piracy is about access rather than stealing.

Piracy for the most part is used by 2 types of people :

1. Those who would never have bought the product because of lack of income to do so.

2. Those who find the product to hard to access.

Steam is an excellent example of dealing with both. Steam sales and location specific prices solve problem 1. Everything one platform everywhere in the world solves 2.

Curious about the details of how you rebuild/deploy your k8s servers. Any chance you've already written about this somewhere?
Some reasons why I disagree with this polemic:

1. There's no reason to expect that these women will be unemployed - they just won't be working for Amazon. That's all we know. No point going looking for them.

2. You can't assign intent to hiring decisions made in the training data - there's no reason to believe that men (and why single them out?) "did not want to hire women". Maybe they did. Maybe they have no idea that they're biased - maybe the women making such hiring decisions are just as biased. We have no idea.

3. The evidence that the AI is biased, is that.... the AI is biased. Which means that the training data is biased. Why that is, is a great question - it may reflect unconscious bias in the hiring process, or more obvious old-fashioned biases. It may reflect that the model amplifies some minor bias in the training data and turns it into something much bigger. We don't know.

So yeah, it's biased - the question is why.
Even in the first years, they suffer from the simple fact that you can't present something correct and useful in a small popular talk with no pre-requisite shared knowledge. Its "empty calories" that makes it feel like you learned something but its really just entertainment. Neil Postman in "Amusing Ourselves to Death" regards these types of talks as more pernicious than things like reality TV that don't claim to provide any useful information.
Click is like really smooth. It just clicked for me.
The standard to graduate isn’t uniform, so using graduation rates biases towards states with weak requirements.

> Men do not work as teachers because the media has painted men as "sex crazed". Most mothers would be uncomfortable with having a male 4th grade teacher for their daughter.

From the article: The son of Fox mogul Rupert Murdoch, he joined Tesla’s board in July 2017 after years of work with media companies. He has no experience in manufacturing and has never led a company that makes cars or electric vehicles.

What exactly does this guy bring to the table for Tesla? Money? Connections?
Cable quality can make a difference for instruments with passive pickups, especially with long cable runs. A guitar pickup can have >10Kohm output impedance, so it doesn't take much cable capacitance to get audible high frequency loss. You can solve this problem with a buffer amplifier close to the instrument, but that's one more device that can break or run out of battery charge.
This is a perfect illustration of the difference between Open Source and Free Software and why Microsoft are happy to be seen as a champion of the former.

"We march North!" says man marching South.
I do, the closest lives a few hundred meters from me. Wood burning is not a problem in a sparsely populated area like the Swedish countryside. If you live in an urban environment things look different, both for the reasons you state - wood smoke being noxious - as well as for the simple fact that you need a few hectares of forest per house to keep it sustainable (about 4 ha. for heating a normal-size house, I need much less but have much more so I can get by with using windfall).

Do keep in mind that I'm not talking about burning wood in a fireplace like Harris' article talks about. A fireplace is an inefficient and wasteful way to burn good wood, about 85% of the generated heat disappears through the chimney. The heating stove I use is rated at 12KW nominal, uses secondary combustion (using fresh air injected into the top of the combustion chamber, you can see the 'smoke' burn) and achieves an efficiency of 87%. The smoke then enters a maze built into the back wall (which is part of the chimney, a massive - about 3 by 3 meters at the bottom - stone construction built into the centre of the house) where more heat is deposited, leading to a higher total efficiency. The temperature of the smoke gases coming out of the flue is around 70°C, going lower than that would require forced draft. The cooking stove is less efficient (around 60%) but also vents into a maze where most of the remaining heat is captured.

This will likely be the new norm as the technology gets cheaper and cheaper.
The books were more about finding common patterns and behaviors among seemingly disparate markets than exploring counter-intuitive outcomes. Like how you can spot cheating by looking at whether latter outcomes match former. There's only really one chapter about counter-intuitive outcomes, and that's the one on parents and education, and that's not even counter-intuitive.
Thanks for the clarification. I think teachyourselfcs is a great resource, and having gone through some of the books and seen their rigor (references everywhere, theory that has taken millions of hours in dissertations/papers/patents/peer review), I would have taken issue with not labelling the resources as part of the theory in the field. After all I am sure CS coursework generally cares about algorithms, data structures, relational databases, operating systems, discrete mathematics, networking, distributed systems, etc.

Will be adding Sipser to my reading list.
That is nonsense.

1) Those were armed terrorists intent on killing people. Not a mentally disturbed person (like the article we are discussing).

2) The areas you are talking about are some of the most heavily policed areas in the UK. The police around Westminster are armed with MP5 sub-machine guns and assault rifles and are highly visible. Yet it is a public area, so yes you could walk up to one of them and start stabbing before one of his colleagues machine gunned you to pieces.

So what is your point? You can arm the police to the teeth, and a determined attacker could still kill one?
I think the only answer is for green tech to become cheaper, or at least better and more desirable, to an extent that it can overcome all those unpriced externalities.

Consider lighting. When efficient lighting started to take off, it sucked. CFLs were expensive and worked poorly. People avoided them unless they were forced into them or really wanted to be green.

Now, LEDs are awesome. They’re still more expensive up-front, but the breakeven period is really short. They look great. I use them everywhere, not for environmental reasons, but because they’re the best practical choice.

Electric cars are another example. Used to be they were a sacrifice, unless your driving needs fit into a really narrow niche. Now they’re really good. They’re still not cheap, but people who can’t afford them often wish they could, and the prices will come down. Similar to lighting, I don’t drive an electric car to be green (although it’s a nice bonus), I drive it because it’s practical and convenient.

It shouldn’t have to be this way, but I think it does. Maybe it’ll work out anyway. It’s looking possible.

That's my impression too.

Emily Post had this great rant on how people act like every new technology is exempt from the rules. Her examples at the time was the cellphone in movie theaters. Everybody knew not to talk loudly in the movie theater before the arrival of cellphones, but suddenly plenty of people thought it was ok to a) have a ringing phone, and b) answer it. Eventually everybody got it together again and nobody does that anymore. People figured out how to generalize politeness for the new technology.

Pressure vessels, life support systems, rockets, what exactly doesn't exist yet that is needed, technologically?

If you want to be a pedant and say that any specific tool that doesn't exist yet represents technology that doesn't exist then sure, that's the case, but there's nothing especially beyond state of the art that is required to live in space or colonize other planets. Technological advancements are mainly advantageous in increasing the success rate and cost efficiency of doing so. But we could have sent people to Mars in the 1970s. We had the rockets, we had the know-how to build the vehicles.
