I would argue against the "straightforward" part. I would call him a blunt rambler. Here's an example post where someone goes through a Linus email and rewrites it for clarity:
https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/blog/2018/a-case-study-in...

> This is a much better email. It has 43% as many words, but loses none of the meaning. It's still forceful and unambiguous. With fewer words, it's easier for someone to absorb the core message about unthinking deference to standards.

> It also doesn't berate anyone, building a needlessly antagonistic culture around the project. Writing this email instead of the original email doesn't require any extra work, and will save mileage on Linus' (or your) fingers besides.

> If you read apologists commenting about this email, they often completely miss Linus' actual point. He's fine with the change; he doesn't like the justification, which uses an appeal to authority. The very people who apologize for the useless bloat miss this because of the bloat!

> These people missed the signal because it was buried in noise. But most of them go on to argue that the noise is boosting the signal; that ranting is good because it drives the point home. But they didn't even detect the signal because they were so focused on defending the noise!
It's not dubiously selected, it's just 95% of all markets worldwide that offer trading BTC. And their main point is that the remaining 5% is real and very well arbitraged, suggesting a mature enough market for an ETF.

When investors buy bonds, specifically US Treasury securities, the relationship between the yield and the time to maturity (2,3,5,7,10,30 years) is generally upward sloping because, as the logic goes, the longer dated securities should have a higher yield because the investor wants to get paid more since they are parting with their money for longer.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yield_curve#/media/File:Yield_...

something like that is usually "what's expected".

When we see yield curve inversions, usually beginning with just a small 'kink' on some point in the curve, that means that the yield at a point further out is lower than a shorter dated security. When the yield curve inverts like this, it means that demand for shorter-dated bonds is higher than longer-dated bonds, and because the duration of longer-dated bonds is higher than shorter-dated bonds, when demand falls for longer-dated bonds, those investors will instead buy shorter-dated bonds. Can also mean that the market believes that a recession is coming, so there's a flight to safety out of equities and into shorter-dated treasuries.

That's the gist of it

I had the original iPad and then an iPad Air 2 and have used the crap out of both of them. Especially on the Air I've played a bunch of "triple-A" games, etc.

It's like a console, not a computer. The software is matched to the hardware, you don't need to worry about it. The Air 2 has 2GB of RAM and it plays X-Com smoother than my PS4 lol. So honestly, no need to worry about the specs.

I've found the iPad line to be extremely long-lasting as well.

I know that the HN crowd likes to complain it's not a "real computer," and I agree it's not the same thing, but it IS a pretty awesome portable computer-like console :)
But all evidence suggests everyone is indeed an idiot.
Who cares what the motives are? She's offering to pay for 40 women to code out of her own pocket; it's a nice thing to do but overall not a big deal even if you were against the idea of a more balanced gender composition in the field (I'm not suggesting you are, I am only saying even if someone were, 40 women is a drop in the bucket). The reason why the money is offered exclusively to women is because men typically dominate the roster within programming environments. Maybe you think this is because women aren't interested in coding, but I'd argue that the 40 women who spend their summer working through this program have already demonstrated an interest if not an aptitude. I just don't see what the problem is.

This is a somewhat complicated issue. Remember, eugenics, humors, etc were all previously part of "technocracy" view of the world. I'm not saying we should embrace religion/superstition/etc as an answer, but decision making in the name of science/technology is not as fool-proof as many believe.

My personal 2c is that it is a lot about perception and awareness. You need to be aware a certain thing exists and how it works before you can aspire to do it. I'm sure you've met people in the past that had jobs you didn't even know existed. And invariably since some populations have been less present in tech, less of that population will be exposed to it, and thus aspire to work in it.

Sometimes the smallest influences can have a big impact, both positively and negatively.

> Jessica made a really good point, female founders without any coding knowledge can't even assess whether a coder is any good before hiring him or her.

If I followed this line of reasoning, then I couldn't hire a lawyer without knowing law, I couldn't hire a marketing person without knowing marketing, I couldn't hire a sales person without knowing sales, and so on and so forth. I would argue that knowledge in law, sales and marketing are far more important to a founder, yet people obsess over coding.

> Getting the fundamentals in an intense summer course will not only enable someone to develop a prototype on their own, but also assess who is a good potential hire and who is just good at bullshitting.

I don't think that's true. To accurately judge someone else's competence, you have to be at least on their level. Secondly, it's credentials like work experience and education that you go by when hiring. I'm aware that a lot of software developers are often forced to pass lots of silly programming tests, but that's known to not result in better hiring.

If you are a founder and non-technical, you shouldn't hire a random developer anyway. You should have a technical co-founder that you can trust and you should focus on literally everything else. You'll need to do a thousand things, but writing code isn't really one of them.

I don't have evidence why they do not choose tech carriers. But I know that as a kid I was fascinated by being able to program a computer. I have seen many-many likeminded boys in the demoscene (in eastern Europe), but not a single girl. (Entrance was free for girls on demo parties, while boys needed to pay.) And it was absolutely not a career choice, we did not care about the money or a career, we just enjoyed to program, or more precisely we just could not imagine not to program. I never knew why girls do not program but I assumed that they are not that interested. And not just not interested in programming, but also not interested in boys who program. This was 30 years ago. (Things changed since then, it is more cool to be a programmer nowadays.)
If I'm reading their MAU charts correctly, they have way more MAU outside of the US than inside (82m vs 184m last quarter), not only that but international user growth is relatively strong compared to the US. That said, 94% of revenue last quarter was from the US, so they are not monetizing internationally really at all. If they can improve international monetization then there is a lot of room for revenue growth it would seem.

As an occasional crypto trader I've noticed a lot of fake volume. On the coin I follow https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/dragonchain/#markets most of the volume is fake - most of the real trading is on Kucoin and the stuff on Fatbtc and COSS mostly fake. They do it because they want to be seen as the successful exchange so people use them. It's soon apparent if you actually try trading that it doesn't work as advertised and then you often have to pay a steep charge to get your money back or sometimes have problems getting it back at all.
When you’re developing a feature like this, don’t you look at the data that you’re logging in to make sure things are working properly? I would imagine that Facebook has many layers of abstraction, but in somewhere, incompetence or inattention must be involved, sometimes known as negligence, if not outright knowledge of this. The definition of that is a complex thing, but if someone could have reasoned that this was logging plaintext passwords, and either saw it and didn’t bother to change things, or didn’t think about it carefully enough to realize that it was doing this, it would be considered negligent. I know that I would feel that my trust in this organization has been betrayed, as a user.
...and religious fervor does the rest.
Use of the word "NIMBY", which is clearly a pejorative, is not an argument. I don't see why that diminishes the parent comment at all.

The rise of this lifestyle is a direct result of people feeling entitled. Take the musician in the article ("Lily"). She's trying to make a career in indie rock, playing local gigs. That can't be your full-time job unless you are exceptionally talented, to a degree where others value your creation/contributions enough to pay you a lot for it. This takes more than just musical talent - it requires experience, marketing, networking, business, and other skills. And it is of course, a highly-competitive line of work - after all, who wouldn't want their work to also be their passion.

Lily lived in Nashville before, which is a lot more affordable than California cities like San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, etc. San Diego is a full 55% pricier than Nashville (https://www.bankrate.com/calculators/savings/moving-cost-of-...). So in effect, Lily made a conscious choice to move to a pricier area without having a plan for how to live there. A responsible way of making that move would be to work for a few years in Nashville, build up savings, identify jobs in your destination that pay enough, and then make the move.

What gives Lily the right to expect she'd be accommodated in whatever city she moves to? If her work is not producing enough earning to pay for housing locally, it is because her work is not valued by society to a great enough extent to live in a very desirable (and thus expensive) area. I don't think the local community is obligated to provide lower-cost housing (either through subsidy or greater supply) to enable her choices, which squarely fall under the realm of "personal responsibility".
If it's the contact with people angle, has the proportion of women in computer science increased with the collaborative nature of computer programming? Open source initiatives? Can we track the number of meetups, conferences, with the population of women engineers? I'm legitimately curious.

But nobody is saying the blockchain is good for anything. The scaling problems of on-blockchain transactions have been known since it started, and there has been quite a lot of work done on ways to scale cryptocurrencies without giving up many of the properties it has.

One of these is called Lightning Network for bitcoin, where (in VERY oversimplified terms) the blockchain becomes an arbiter of sorts, and is only used when there is a disagreement or someone tries to cheat someone else out of money, or for very large transactions (large in terms of value, not transaction size).

Saying "If the blockchain works, if it's good for anything, then ... use it!" is like telling someone who wants to fly across the country to just drive it since you were told that cars can drive anywhere in the country...

You could technically use the blockchain for all transactions, but it has a number of tradeoffs that most don't want to use for every single transaction. And that's okay! Having the ability to make a choice between the "zero trust" nature of the blockchain and trusting an exchange for faster/cheaper transactions is awesome!

Hopefully things like Lightning Network will keep continuing and can add an additional choice which combines just about all of the "zero trust" benefits of a blockchain with the speed and cost of off-chain transactions.

It's certainly possible, but with a lot less steel and concrete you could just build walls and have, you know, apartments. My guess is it's easier to find investors for that, too.

The only reason I can imagine a multi-storey RV park making sense would be to take advantage of some weird zoning quirk or something. But that's a lot of money to throw at what's effectively a legal vulnerability that will probably quickly be fixed.

It's funny how the same people who argue that there are real differences between men and women that are biological in origin which produce all of the differences in representation in tech can't imagine that there might be real, at least on-average, differences between men and women (whether of biological or socialization-rooted origin) that affect what learning methods and contexts they are most successful with and in.

Yes be super careful with Labrea on VPS providers and dedicated server providers. They tend to get upset if you are trying to pick up IP's. In most cases it won't even work on KVM hosts.

I've used Labrea on unused address space to make ARIN/RIPE happy back in the day and that was harmless, as entire /16's and /17's were unused. They used to nag about nothing in the /16's being pingable, so Labrea made it all 100% pingable

And therefore an engineering union is probably going to be bad?

Some police unions do these things and need to be stopped. But that does not mean all unions in every field are bad. There are evil corporations too, are all corporations bad? Are the majority? Why does the public precive that differently?

Since the cold war, the communism claim has given way to universally negative portal: the sole presentation in fact is negative. Usually by tacitly implying an unusual behavior is typical and inevitable of every possible union.

The difference is Exxon runs ads of happy children running through flowery fields and unions don't. And pointing out a union's deficiencies is not going to loose sponsors, possibly the reverse.

Another big issue that complicates stuff is safety. In general, most software bugs don't have the ability to cause serious physical harm to a human.

Yeah, I used to work at a company with a mix of union and non-union sites, and the unions were good in a sense that the company standardized a lot of general union policies across sites. So the end result was the non-union sites had most of the pros of a union and none of the fees.
You know, you should really try to give people the benefit of the doubt. I have plenty of experience with people I've worked with not from the U.S. that have mentioned they would love to see the downfall of this country and I'm sure people would easily dismiss this as "anecdotal evidence" so I'm not sure what would make you happy here. Furthermore, if you read my post a bit more carefully, you would realize that I'm not making an umbrella statement.

It's very hard to have a critical discussion about things when people immediately point a finger and excuse someone of being inflammatory. It's ironic that you're saying I'm not fit of posting in an intellectual forum when you can't even entertain someone's thought experiment. Very sad the state of affairs on HN and even more sad when there is an unequal balance of voting/flagging power on this board.
