The presentation (linked in another comment here) lists a number of exchanges which they believe are presenting fake data:

CoinBene, RightBTC, CHAOEX, IDAX, LBANK, BitForex, Exrates

I don't think I've heard of any of these, and there are zero hits in my email.

They go on to identify pretty much every exchange I've ever seen discussed on HN (for example) as having legitimate volume-- coinbase, bitstamp, bitfinex, gemini, ...

I think the headline should instead be "coinmarketcap volume claims are nonsense" -- which I think most people in the bitcoin space would say "well, duh". At least my view purpose of coinmarketcap and similar sites seems largely to direct people to the latest token pumps, as evidence by the absurd "market caps" they display for illiquid pre-mined tokens...

What set off alarms for me is that there is no way that you get to 81 exchanges without including some really sketchy or obscure stuff.

But a site that wants to list sketchy tokens needs to include the sketchy exchanges because for the most part the non-sketchy exchanges won't list them.
I definitely interpreted the title in that way; it was somewhat confusing for me, as at first I assumed that the article was going to be satire (or at least a strawman) based on that
LOL, the author automatically assumes CCP trusted ... Google? Who openly rebelled against it in the past?

BTW, Google might be leader in AI, but China has its own AI scene. CCP doesn't need Google, period.
>Now, if for some reason women don't take this road and "need" someone to hold their hand in order to learn programming, I would argue that maybe those women don't have the intrinsic motivation to do so and trying to force it upon them may be a gross waste of time and resources.

Why would you assume that a programming course amounts to "hand holding" just because a single gender is involved?

For that matter, why would you assume the women taking this course are unmotivated?

If this exact same program allowed men and women, would you still be casting the same aspersions only on the women, or would you also be implying that trying to "force" the men to program is a waste of time and resources?

>RV32IMAC

Or RV32IMAC+some extension that makes sense for the application.

There's also a non-defined but planned RV32E for embedded.

>RV64GC

I suspect this will be the case at first, then a superset will take over.

e.g. bitfield operations extension and vector extension are unlikely not to be taken advantage of by e.g. Debian. Likely resulting in a few arch variants with increasingly more such extensions, such as further adding DSP and JIT extensions.

It should be a bit messy at first, and calm down later when there's a lot of frozen extensions that handle most popular tasks.

If anything, I fear calling the 'G' subset was premature. That we're already talking about RV64GC and not just RV64G does strongly point to that.
Not quite that extreme, but the difference is quite disparate. Coinbase Pro (legit) has a 24h volume of 53,234,129 whereas Coineal is reporting 740,643,873. A quick google / google trends search shows that Coineal is basically unknown compared to Coinbase.

I was a little surprised by that as well, but my own analyses of Bitfinex data (together with the USDT/USD market on Kraken) brought me to a similar conclusion that they are likely operating above board. That said, there have been previous studies challenging that conclusion so I wouldn't be surprised if they found more signals on a deeper inspection.

The slide deck does go into the USDT/USD differences as well, and even mentions the large Bitfinex hack.
There was an article lately here at HN showing that there is a high probability the project didn't end. It just became secretive.

Not sure what I believe personally but if there are big money involved then I'd lean to believe that Google made a PR stunt (which your article advertises) and just got employees who can keep quiet to work on Dragonfly.
It may come as a shock but most people don't work with their ultimate passion.

The problem is that people learning programming for the first time, who don't have a passion for it, can find themselves in a class with those who do. I have witnessed, first hand, people who were beginners getting left in the dust by their classmates on a group project and ultimately dropping out of CS/SE entirely.
> Coding is as critical as literacy for the next 20 years...

I think this is an absurd and tired meme. Most shops who employ coders also employ about 75% non-coders. You need sales, marketing, accounting, management, HR, legal - and even the IT guys often truck along fine with little to no coding skills.

If you need code written to perform your task that usually just means the UI of your application isn't powerful enough. So get a coder to add that feature to the UI. You don't need to become a coder yourself.

Here's why we really need "more coders" all the time:

- the web frontend is getting reinvented every year

- the latest trends in infrastructure design ("terascale micro-micro-micro-services as a service") need attention

- the latest devices and platform SDKs need to be dealt with

- the insane amount of technical debt accumulated through all this churn needs to be paid off

Which is all fine only as long as the money keeps rolling in.

Sure, whenever someone comes up with initiative to encourage women to do anything, inevitably people start crawling out saying everything is going to be screwed up because of that.

Not be cause of women, of course, that would be a misogynist thing to say, but because of some completely unrelated and irrelevant reason.

yeah, right.
Honestly, I thought I must've misinterpreted the original comments somehow, and maybe I did, but I guess I'm not alone.
Everyone who ever managed a (online or not) community knows that you can't scale past the moderation you can afford, because a community is only as good as its members. And if you scaled past your moderation reach, that community will surely be shitty.

It's fine, just let the free market sort things out.
Also that the AOA sensor in question had just been replaced prior to Lion Air 34, the flight with MCAS upset and recovery prior to the fatal Lion Air 610. And further, there have been reports that MCAS alternates each flight which AOA sensor it uses for decision making; if that's true, a single faulty AOA sensor would not result in back to back flights having MCAS upset.

i.e. to speculate: the fault may not be in the the AOA sensor, it could be corruption in the communication between sensor and computer, or in the computer.

And more speculation. One contra argument I have with "bit flip" is that's usually transient. To consistently get a particular bit flip form of corruption? That's pretty weird, I don't have an explanation for that. The AOA sensor is a stream of data. And the preliminary report for Lion Air 610 shows a consistent disagreement between the two AOA sensors for the entire flight, almost like it's some kind of installation or calibration related error. But I'd like to believe each of these repair procedures have a verification procedure. These are really complicated systems, so I'd expect I'd want to do a test before repair, then conduct the repair, then do another test. Are the before and after test results consistent with repair expectations?
You either accept that people can choose their own gender or you don't. People don't get to police the reason someone may identify as female or male. History on social media should have nothing to do with it. Do you think everyone makes this choice at an early age and broadcasts it publicly?

Yes, you can't have a mortgage, and you do need to find a remote income source (in their case, based on the information available, it's options trading to scalp enough for monthly expenses). But it can be done if you're willing to trade some financial security for freedom.

My grandfather was denied to use the bathroom of a public building (maybe a court?) and had to resort to the bag. We can debate if we should allow our fellow humans to use our bathrooms but this was not my point.
> would you still be casting the same aspersions only on the women,

Gender is not important here. As a matter of fact, I wanted to edit my post and talk about people in general, but I did not bother. This article was about women.

My point is that I have the feeling that programming is something most people learn more or less for free with the documentation available online and with the help of online programming communities. The lack of intrinsic motivation is how I explain someone (woman or man) may need financial support and a IRL teacher.

It might be natural or innate. Even young children associate taller with good and shorter with bad. I forget where but there was a documentary where children were asked to associate qualities to stick figures. The children gave the taller stick figures the positive qualities and the shorter stick figures the negative qualities.

We know that adults definitely associate positive qualities with height. We know voters associate positive traits to taller candidate. And females do as well - assign more positive traits to the taller male.
I completely agree with you, which is why my highest-level comment in this thread suggested using a new ISA, too. However, for practical reasons, it would be a ton of work to design and build hardware and a complete operating system. That’s the holy grail, of course, but it’s going to be hard to achieve without a large company backing it up.
I was once sitting on a plane wearing a shirt branded with a major tech company. The person next to me asked if I was a software engineer and I said yes. They excitedly started telling me about how they were doing all this work to groom their young son (age like 6) to go into tech. This person also had a similarly aged daughter and he was doing none of this for her.

Perhaps the son really did love this stuff and perhaps the daughter was given the opportunity to do other things. Perhaps this was a one-off coincidence. But my experience is littered with this stuff. It happened even to me. I've got two parents who were both software engineers and I was given toys as a child that were designed to develop technical skills and my sister wasn't.

The research community does not have a better explanation for the disparity than social bias.
> My point was: If you're going to argue against this donation, saying that it fuels the trend of reverse racism / sexism that makes the free market more distorted, I would argue that this donation is very much a part of the free market. Private donations to private organizations for private causes.

This is trying to eat your cake and still have it though.

If you ask a staunch free market person whether we should have laws restricting private activity or freedom of association, they say no. If you want to have a private organization and only invite women or only invite men then have at it.

But if you're going to have a law against that, over their objection, then it should at least be enforced consistently against everyone.

Objecting to the lack of consistency is different than objecting to the original principle.
Thanks for encouraging progress in a cure. Honestly, it all really depends on who you are. Some people don't really mind. Other people, like myself, are drastically affected by it emotionally. I've never really been a masculine guy, and having long, thick hair was part of that. Suddenly having it thin, seemingly overnight, at the age of 18 was a really frustrating thing. It gets frustrating when I want to dress certain ways, but can't pull off various looks because my bald head doesn't fit in with it. I feel like I've been roped into a very specific way of dressing as a result and, once again, the whole thing is really frustrating. I see some of my co-workers come in with fresh and stylish hair cuts and I become jealous I can no longer express myself in the same way.

I don't let it stop me from living my life and doing the things I want, but it's still a garbage thing that I absolutely will not deny has affected me every day.

Insecurities aside, I hate not having natural protection from the sunlight and cold. I miss being able to go to the beach without a hat.

I learned programming on my own. Sure there is a lot to learn in programming. Often you are stuck with a problem for long and there is simply nobody, except online forums, to help you out. Nobody around me is into programming. I am married and have 2 kids. My regular job has nothing to do with programming. I have to spend 3 hours in daily commute. Saturdays are working day. But I still manage to learn programming.

I don't understand why women in general need special help or guidance.

My guess is the DoD/USGov is going to be opposed to any transfer of any ai/ml technology to China. I tend to think that most ai/ml news is hyped and highly speculative, but if the leadership in the US is not sophisticated enough to understand the hype cycle, any ai technology that could be put in a military drone is going to be heavily regulated.
Think of it like this. Linear models in statistics break out the prediction for a given case in terms of main effects and interactions. All women get hit by the main effect of being a woman; it just so happens that some women are buoyed by other main effects like wealth, whiteness, etc.

Now, it may turn out that you might want to evaluate an aggregate measure of disadvantage per person, so you can sort people by level-of-disadvantage and apply that first. But that method may be brittle; if you choose the relative weighting of various forms of disadvantage wrong, then you're applying your benefit in a way that deviates from the "true" perfect-information order anyway.

One way of resolving this is to say "we're not going to attempt to apply this benefit in a perfectly Rawlsian order; we're just going to pick a main effect to attack and, while doing less good than a perfect-information solution, will still almost certainly do more good than harm.".

This assumes that the assumption of good faith is well founded. Life is too short to critically refute every single crackpot theory out there. For better or worse, if someone sufficiently damages their ethos, I will choose to not spend my time critically evaluating everything they say.

[edit]

One place where my argument does not apply is when large numbers of people hold a particular opinion. If e.g. 80% of Republicans or 80% of Democrats hold a view, we are talking about 1/3 of the population of the US. Understanding why they hold that view, no matter how non-sensical it may seem is vital to understanding the world we live in.

It is insufficient to just say "well then insert large group here are all idiots" because that is clearly not true.I have two family members who each got perfect SAT scores and one is about as hippy-left as you can get and the other is a card-carrying republican and Trump supporter. They are (in my opinion) both wrong about a lot of things, but dismissing them as idiots is not possible.

I would appreciate some handholding when jumping into a new language or framework, so I don't have to waste countless hours in frustration, and I am a man.

I don't understand why handholding is bad and why it should be used as an argument against women coding. When men do it, it's called mentoring.
I've observed the same thing. Personally, I've been pressured to hire less qualified women candidates to make the team more diverse. I've never been pressured not to hire a woman because she's a woman.

It would be absurd if coding skill were only useful to people whose job title and central role is “coder” (just as viewing literacy as central would be absurd if measured by the number of people employed as “writers”.)
Couldn't have said it better. My eyes need a break rolling when people, especially politicians, say coding is a requirement and as important as math.

Coding as far as syntax and doing something like codeacademy... yes that is relatively straight forward. But programming like that is not really going to get you anywhere when making a web app for instance. Syntax and programming aside there is a whole stack of stuff you have to know. I did not realize this until bringing a friend to a meetup that was looking to get into software development. He was doing all the online courses and learning Python/JS. But then the rabbit hole of knowledge starts opening up where you realize it takes a whole lot more than that to do anything.

Oh that's easy just send a cURL request with header Accept: application/json ..... OK what's cURL, what's a header? So for us that have been in the game it is easier to "learn to code" another language as there are parallels everywhere and you have that baseline knowledge of how things generally work. Just try to explain something that you feel is "relatively straightforward" to a person not exposed to tech... I made the same mistake and thought it was straightforward, it is not as you are making many assumptions about knowledge. I am at the point where I am familiar with a lot of stuff and can Google things I don't know but what if you had no idea what even to search for? That is where instruction helps.

As to your second argument, the EPA's literal purpose is to force citizens to operate their life/business responsibly; if you think their standards are too lenient than take it up with your elected representative.

The system to accomplish your goals is already fucking there, use it.

When more currency X is issued, the losers are people (including lenders) who are locked into assets denominated in X, if this leads to a devaluation of X relative to other things.

The status of fiat being legal tender for all debts is what makes lenders unable to demand other currencies but they can execute forward contracts of X versus a basket of commodities for example.
