Let me explain the ethics thing.

I refuse to work in adtech (including Facebook and Google), military, or MLM schemes. I don't think everyone who does those things is unethical, but I won't even work for a company whose products I think are bad for their users/customers.

Because of that, I'm giving up on multiple high-paying opportunities every year. Is my overall income lower as a result? Maybe, maybe not. But it can't be helping me, financially speaking.
I agree, it doesn't really stick until you're working with it and running into/solving issues. I work with a young guy who is interested in programming and he was asking about html/css, python, test driven development, git, and then docker... I mean, holy crap what a tangled mess. Anyway, I gave him a VBA book and a couple of ideas for projects to solve business problems and he's been having a wonderful time. I'll show him git next week maybe...
You can't shift it "back"; the accusation of excess emotionalism has always been gendered in English. Look at Shakespeare talking about "womanish", for example.

The comment from the throwaway account is already heavily gendered. Pointing out one of the gendered tropes used in service of that is entirely on topic. There's no reason to sweep it under the rug.

Try to debate me, but remember, you know I am right.

Or neither Bitcoin nor Blockchain. The thing is, inflation is actually what keeps the entire economy moving. Deflationary currencies actively dissuade investment and lending. What would a loan even look like denominated in a deflationary currency? Lenders are incentivized not to give you the one, as their cash reserves appreciate risk-free.

Oh, and also, why trust this random ad-hoc group of self-appointed economists (the core dev team) over a selected group of professional economists with degrees an arms-length away from politics (the federal reserve)? None of it makes sense. If the core team wants to create more bitcoin they can. Just like the fed.

Inflation is not a bad thing - it's solely a regular haircut for unproductive capital. Nobody should be hoarding cash. They should invest. Salaries are indexed for inflation so they don't go down. This isn't rocket science.

You are the second person in this thread who has claimed that the Japanese system is elitist. When I looked and replies to the other person I couldn't find any evidence of this, so I'm interested where you got this idea.

Here's a story on how to buy a gun in Japan[1]. The only fee is $60 for the gun license course, so I don't see where the argument about having to be rich is coming from.

Cryptocurrencies, and especially Ethereum, are truly novel innovations in computer science that cross many academic disciplines. The linked example is a great write-up. It’s sad that there is a vocal group, especially on HN, that knee-jerk hates everything blockchain related and wishes with their entire being for it to fail.

However, I think smart contracts are fascinating and wish more people would keep an open mind.
That argument you put forth is entirely without substance as far as I can tell, and probably shouldn't have been made at all.

One of your examples is ongoing, the other is not.

One could change the future, the other can't change anything except other car markers margins.

One could be justified, the other can not.

I could make a much longer list, but I hope you get the gist.

I don't understand how the fact that the author solved a novel problem and then posted a bounty points to "flaws of ETH". Could you elaborate?

Also, what do you mean by "Bitcoin not blockchain"?
> ... there's nothing inherently wrong with showing political ads on tv, facebook, or elsewhere.

As has been pointed out elsewhere, Facebook is different than television because ads can be targeted extremely narrowly. This makes them hard to audit and possible to use ads for things like voter suppression of populations that are likely to vote a certain way.

Advocating for/against a specific policy or politician is one things. Attempting to disenfranchise a group of people through misinformation is another.
It works without a DB as far as I know, and there are handful incidents where people knowingly blocked a connection to the payment system to charge the card with no money spent.

That's just straight-up wrong. Legal ownership of a gun in Japan requires an extreme amount of bureaucracy, but it's entirely possible and most legal gun owners in Japan are (non-rich, non-well-connected) farmers.

I have a Synology NAS (I wanted an always on network backup for 3 PCs) it came with 2 free security camera licenses. The standard I found is ONVIF, my first camera arrives tomorrow (the software looks good, online support looks promising).
Depending on features cameras are ~$25-$50 with the heavier duty hardware being ~$100 (there is also commerical grear you could easily spend $500 a camera)

Here are the questions I'd ask in making your choice.
1) device storage vs onsite storage vs hosted remote (my dad wants to setup a system, I'm hoping we can share an off-site backup solution)

2) internet required vs CCTV (local lan only)

3) WiFi vs wired vs Power Over Ethernet (I'd prefer wired PoE, but I don't want to run cable at this time, I went wireless, this requires a phone app to setup in my case)

4) fixed camera vs pan/tilt (I'm planning a mixed system, pan/tilt for living room with fixed cameras looking at doors)

Obviously this is putting most of the setup/maintenance onto you. If you're comfortable with that and setting up a network I believe this is the most privacy-wise solution as the data should never leave your house

Was it by the book? The Constitution says that the President nominates and by and with the "Advice and Consent" of the Senate appoints Justices. Is refusing to even consider a nominee providing "Advice and Consent"?

In my experience the biggest problem with fact checkers is that facts are complicated.

Somebody says "the speed of light is 300,000 km/s" and you go to a fact checker and you get:

> "TRUE: The speed of light is approximately 300,000 km/s."

Then you go to another one and you get:

> "FALSE: the speed of light is actually 299,792,458 m/s in a vacuum and has a medium-dependent value through air, water or another medium ... "

Then you get into an argument with someone where the distinction matters and they cite the first one, or get into one where it doesn't and they cite the second one.
To add to this:

Supporting old stuff costs time. If the company (or a group of companies) believes they know better, they can contribute the code to change this. And maintain it. Or pay someone else to. It's perfectly viable and it accurately reflects the cost of the business's decision to not change something.

Otherwise no, most browsers must be safe for the lowest common denominator, and they do know better than most.

There are some complications of cancer that cause rapid deterioration. The reason why this happens to some people and not others is not well understood. One of the more common rapidly fatal complications is disseminated intravascular coagulation, where the cancer stimulates widespread blood clotting that consumes all the normal clotting factors and results in bleeding which can easily be fatal.

It is perhaps not so well understood that a cancer is not 'part of the person'. Our notions of good health presuppose the concept of a united system of physiological functions. Cancer doesn't follow this rule. It is an invasive, foreign organism who's singular purpose is to keep growing no matter what. It is less sophisticated than a virus in that respect. Assessed on a genomic level, you may have less in common with your cancer than you do with your neighbor.
> Accusations are easy to make.

You're saying this despite the article talking about a survey in which only 19 of 384 female YC founders said they "experienced one or more inappropriate incidents by angels or VCs". And only a subset of those actually reported those incidents. The data does not seem to support the assertion that "accusations are easy to make". And there's plenty of known history that contradicts it as well, e.g. Paula Jones and Juanita Broaddrick, the U.S. womens gymnastics team, etc.
I don't think you actually disagree with the author. I think they would basically agree with everything you wrote and just add on, "therefore write your parser so it actually does recover correctly." Which is what most of the post boils down to.

Horstmann style looks like my ideal, but there's very little tool support for it, from what I've seen. For instance, if I want to swap the first two lines of an "if" statement, I can't use "line-based" copy/paste. Do you do things manually, or does your editor support it fairly well?

EDIT: looks like the tool support is so bad, Horstmann himself pretty much gave up:

They are buried in many cities in Colorado where I live. The prevalent high winds, dry soils, and abundant snow make it cost effective to do so. In addition to the snow which everyone knows about, we get 70-80 mph down slope winds every spring and it's cheaper to not have to fix them annually. As a side effect, when my kids experienced a power outage at their grandparents house during a thunderstorm at ages 8 and 11, they were terrified; it had never happened to them before.
Also worth mentioning that product managers make great startup founders (particularly with a a great engineer co-founder).

Sales, product development, customer and market research, internal management, marketing - these are all critical skills for startups. People leaving to start their own businesses would shrink the pool, and put upwards pressure on wages.

I've also seen a lot of PM job ads asking for people with startup experience.

At my workplace, the product managers are part of the marketing department, and interface with the sales force. Most of them have MBA's.

The issue with cruise above Mach 2 is that you need a lot of fuel, exotic materials and involved processes. None of which are compatible with the civilian airline industry.

From a military perspective, high cruise reduces range, involving multiple refuelings. It also doesn't help in a head-on approach, but missiles do travel at Mach 3.

The costs of Mach 3 outweigh the benefits unless you have an intercept or recon mission.

So the discussion should be ... "we are here, where should we go next?"

I would say re-examine the X-planes results, look at where we are in materials and CFD, and do another X program.

For example, all modern jets use area ruling. What is the next step in supercritical airfoils for airliners? (The current record is around Mach 0.89 for an airliner at cruise.) NASA has a great track record at basic research.

How we can use fuel efficiently and inject a minimum of toxic gases into the upper atmosphere? The SR-71 burnt most of its exhausts, resulting in no soot, can airline engines do the same?

Terrible headline, and poorly constructed survey questions. This shoddiness is worthy of the New York Post, not the Economist.

"American opinion" has always been "against victims." The difference, completely missed in this surprisingly garbage work, is that behavior that was once taken for granted is now unacceptable, and practitioners of that behavior can now be destroyed.

This of course does not happen in all cases, but the vulnerability of abusers is new, real and unprecedented.

This poorly executed piece that embarrasses the Economist suggests abusers will return to a state of impunity.

I wager the opposite is true. Their vulnerability will only increase.

Time will tell!

> Ummmn, you appear to have missed the bit where this "unwanted sexual overture" was put in context i.e. "one or more inappropriate incidents by angels or VCs"

I think you're missing the point here. How did the survey define which unwanted sexual overtures are inappropriate? You write that this was put in the context of harassment, but how this context was presented to the respondents has a big impact on what their responses really mean. At face value, it seems like the study considers all romantic advances to be inappropriate. This seems like an overly simplistic definition, as per my example here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18225474

Asking for further context is entirely warranted. Studies like these can often be made (intentionally or unintentionally) to seem alarmist due to poorly defining categories of harassment. For instance, I was counted as a victim of sexual assault in one of my university's surveys because I answered yes to the question "have you received unwanted sexual advances in the last year?". Yes I had, but all of them were from people who ceased their advances after being denied and generally acted with respect. While there's always some element of discomfort in being put on the spot like that, I would absolutely not consider any of these instances harassment in any way shape or form. Asking someone out on a date or inviting them over for intimate contact, and ceasing all advances after being denied was considered an act of sexual harassment by this survey. I'm not kidding, if someone asked a person out respectfully, they got told no, and both parties walked away with no further contact this was considered sexual harassment. This also disturbed me because it not-so-subtly implied that I had harassed literally every person I had asked out on a date and was denied, even though I've never continued pursuing someone after being told no.
