> I don't really think it's on the onus of the individual lab to ensure there are enough jobs for all their PhD students within the same lab.

I didn't mean the department should hire its own students, just that it shouldn't graduate a higher number than it's willing to hire. So if they have 5 open positions, they should hire 5 from the market, but then only train and graduate 5 or so students (who can find jobs elsewhere) to maintain balance.
I'm sorry but... what a load of bullshit.

1) Years ago? LN is barely a year old. You're mixing shit. And if you're referring to the fact that no pizza restaurants accept LN yet, well, that's criticising adoption, not the technology.

2) Hahahaha, KYC? I haven't found any LN payment hub that required me to show them who I am. What FUD are you spreading? This statement alone reveals you already as some kind of shill, trying to spread misinformation by deceiving.

3) The OP is already saying that it was not LN that failed, maybe something on his side (internet connection?). Anyway it could be true that UI/UX is not the best at the moment, but we all know this takes time to polish. There's no design flaw that prevents LN to have a decent UI/UX. This is just the equivalent times for when Linux OS didn't have a GUI, did that mean that Linux was useless?
My hypothesis is that people like you who observe a negative correlation between competence and education only encounter such a phenomenon because you work for employers who are not attractive to candidates who have better options. If your company has no name recognition and crap pay, then anyone who is both competent and has the right credentials will be able to get a much better job elsewhere. So your only coworkers will be either people who are competent but don't have a degree, and who can't leave for better pay because they won't pass a resume screen, or people have a CS degree but can't get hired at a more desirable company because they are incompetent. Hence the perceived negative correlation, which is entirely down to selection bias.
Agreed. What was once a movement for rights has become an industry of oppression determination (and guess what? It's based on a Marxism-like system of oppressor/oppressed classes!).

The dog weight one is a good case of how you can futz with numbers to imply a greater relationship than is present. I think the second chart is much better in that respect. If you're doubling the relative range of one of a double scale to make stuff look like it fits, that's not exactly being forthright.

> but the original charts make it easier to see the relationship between the two series.

Well, as the article says, if it looks like they're a perfect fit when they definitely aren't, that's probably beyond making something clearer and going into convincing people of something that the chart doesn't really imply.

> the last chart is fine. It's maybe not very sexy, and it takes a moment to absorb, but the data is clearly displayed.

Totally agree on this. It takes a bit to digest, but that's because there's a lot of information imparted.
I work at a non-profit coworking space that strives to put community first. It is a registered art gallery and has programs for helping women and minorities get their ideas off the ground. The community has been great and the noise isn’t anything that a decent pair of noise-cancelling headphones can’t fix.

Coworking spaces are actually terrible businesses so they end up being real estate plays for most people. The non-profit model is the best, IMO, because it puts the focus on the community which ends up making the space great. The non-profit element also ensures that it isn’t a software mono culture: a couple of political campaigns, and the local ACLU chapter (to name a couple) work out of the space and it super interesting to chat with them.

Addendum:

I also think coworking spaces are one of the rare times when open offices don’t suck. I don’t work with anyone there, so if I have my headphones on no one bothers me.

Waxing nostalgic: I loved working on mainframes back in the day. My job was a little unusual for a mainframe programmer, so maybe that's why: my team was customizing the VM/370 hypervisor and its usual guest OS ("CMS") for our employer's needs. It was mostly 370 assembly, for the OS changes, and the occasional script (or "Exec", as it was called in CMS). I wasn't doing much app development and never saw anything that looked even remotely like JCL.

I loved it, and I would never go back to it.

This is the big ProgPoW debate currently being waged over in Ethereum land. You are right, it isn't possible to prevent ASICs, in fact everything is technically an ASIC.

So, with that in mind, the goal of ProgPoW is an attack on the economic incentive to build an ASIC, not an attack on the ability to build one.

In other words, make purchasing a commodity GPU as inexpensive as a custom ASIC. If that is the case, there won't be an incentive to build ASICs.

ProgPoW also has a second line of defense where a hard fork with a minimal set of changes, can brick existing ASICs.
Founder Vesting Schedule Advice
Imagine three senior engineer founders are creating a startup consulting business. The goal is to initially land small contracts, but ultimately to grow the business into a much bigger firm with many employees and maybe eventually be acquired after 6 years.

The standard stock vesting period is a 4 year vest, possibly with a 1 year cliff.

Now what are the advantages and disadvantages of longer vesting schemes (just for the founders): How about vesting periods, say 5, 6, 8?, 10???! years.

Longer vesting periods provide more reward for founders that stay longer. Is that more fair?

Would investors find a long vesting period attractive if they were considering this business for acquisition?

With longer periods there is a greater chance of large amounts of unvested stock upon acquisition. How should the founders ensure they are properly rewarded in this case? Should they have put in some partial single trigger acceleration at founding? Or should some sort of acceleration be negotiated as part of the acquisition?

Other thoughts?

> White is not an ethnic nationality

This is not true for all intents and purposes, and it's bizarre to mention nationality in a thread about white nationalism. "Ethnicity" refers to both fine-grained and broader ethnic identification. Being black is absolutely an ethnicity, while being Yoruba is too. By looking at an White American's DNA profile, one can predict their ethnic identificationwith 98% accuracy.Historically thiss was also the case, it's just that Christianity was the standardmarker for being European/white. Even if that weren't true, being white is still an ethnic group as people perceive it today

> A person from Ireland has no ethnic or national ties to a person from Italy

They do, it's called being ethnically European. The Irish and Italians share a genetic similarity, historical, religious, cultural, and linguistic affinity. Consider how much closer to Algeria Italy is, yet Algerians and Italians share none of these similarities and gues what... Algerians aren't white.

> The fact that the citizens of those two countries were not considered "white" 100 years ago demonstrates the invalidity of "white" as an ethnic or national group.

This is completely and demostrably untrue. The U.S. Naturalisation Act of 1790 and the following acts limited U.S. immigration to "whites of good character". In this period, more immigrants came from Ireland and Italy combined than nearly anywhere else.Ben Franklin even specifically referred to Irish as white.

Your comment demonstrates the invalidity of your knowledge of this topic to be honest

As part of today’s announcement, we’ll also start connecting people who search for terms associated with white supremacy to resources focused on helping people leave behind hate groups.

He's not the first and he certainly won't be the last to move his company overseas because of the govts anti biz policies.
It's not just "tools". It's closer to service, as they would have been aware taking money from a shady company. It seems similar to banks participating in money laundering. They could well have guessed what it was for, but closed an eye to it.

> Virtually every piece of internet infrastructure is subject to deplatforming.

This is essentially the marketplace of ideas working as intended -- if your idea sucks you get booted out of venue after venue. Maybe the problem isn't the venues having standards, maybe it's your idea being bad?

> If they don't - well, you're screwed

How is not being able to tell people your bad ideas "being screwed?" You aren't being jailed, your property isn't being seized. People are telling you they don't want to hear what you have to say, but you can continue saying it to anyone who bothers to listen to you. No one is obligated to hear or agree with anything you want to say.

> Who is "we" and why you have to rule?

Platform owners specifically, citizens in aggregate. We judge the ideas we want to hear and tell people we don't want to hear that we don't want to hear them. This isn't exactly some radical new concept either.

> Well, nothing in this mechanism has "white nationalists" anywhere, it would work against you or me as well as against anything else.

Except it literally has "white nationalists" in the rule itself. How about we ban them? And then rule, on a case-by-case basis, on whether other things should be banned? Like pro-ISIS speech? Or pornography, which Facebook also bans?

The idea that nothing at all can be banned, because Facebook might ban the wrong things, is absurd. If your ideas are bad and no one wants to listen to you, the problem is your ideas, not that Facebook can ban things. No one should be compelled to hear bad ideas. And before you ask, yes, Facebook can decide what ideas it considers are bad on behalf of its users. If you don't like that, don't use Facebook -- problem solved.

> You basing that on what?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandenburg_v._Ohio

"The Court held that government cannot punish inflammatory speech unless that speech is "directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action.""

Of course, this is still applicable to the government, not private corporations, again. Private corporations can deplatform whatever they like for any legal reason.

If you do not know that your chances of getting a tenure track job in your field are very, very low before you are finished your first semester you are deluding yourself. Even more so for marginal graduate programmes with negligible placements.

Adjuncting is not on the academic track. If you are adjuncting you have already lost. If you choose to keep making the same mistake over and over again you don’t generally get much sympathy if it’s gambling or sticking with a partner who beats you. Why does chasing a dream you’ve failed at get so much more sympathy?

Teaching high school is very much not what most people want to do but it’s at least better than adjuncting. Lots of people do things they don’t want do for money, if adjuncts would prefer to do something they want to fit very little money, great. Their choice, the consequences are theirs too.

Lambda School is free until you get paid so if they want to do a boot camp that’s the way to go, not borrowing money.

It really depends on your userbase and email security solutions in my experince.

Two things that make me question this stat: after tens of thousands of manual phishing email screening at multiple orgs I have never,not once witnessed a phish that used a .txt attachment for payload delivery. Second,I see a ton of phish delivered via pdf attachments. Are they considering malware delivery phish the same category as credential theft phish (frauduent sites that social engineer users for their logins)? If so,that's counting apples with oranges.

For malware delivery,if you have a good email security solution in place, word documents should be #1.

You should block zip attachments that contain specific types of files. Blocking zip or rar as a category makes little sense. Scripts of any kind,executables,jar files and such in a zip file should result in a quarantined email.

If you can't afford a decent email security appliance: setup a cuckoosandbox instance,detonate attachments and quarantine (for human review) any attachments that generate network activity or drops suspicious files. Also quarantine word documents with macros (yara rule analysis).

I would also see a lot of value in blocking google drive,onedrive and dropbox. A common phish in 2019 would be exploitation of compromised email accounts,the attackers would reply-all to email threads with links to something like onedrive. Instead of sending the file as an attachment,they host it on Onedrive. This kills two birds with one stone:the file is hosted on a trusted platform and they avoid attachment filtering.

Lastly,unpopular opinion: user education does not help much. Fix the tech,not the user.

The cost per unit has actually come down below modern variants of older generation fighters.

I think that if I were to rank the people I knew in high school and college by intelligence, the order would be the same at age 21 (before anyone started grad school) as it would be at age 28 (after most people have finished grad school).

The people who were smart in high school are still smart today, regardless of their credentials. Some of the smartest people I know have PhDs, and some do not.
This implies that the right can be denied for other reasons, which would mean that it's not an inherent right of citizens. And, indeed, courts do not consider e.g. restrictions on voting for citizens with criminal records to be unconstitutional.

And it's not like it's a new invention. I mean, women couldn't vote back when 15A was passed, and they still couldn't vote after. It wasn't a surprise, either - many suffragists opposed 15A even before it was ratified for this exact reason, because its wording made it clear that it wasn't covering sex.

> I hate to sound mean spirited, but I have a hard time being sympathetic to intelligent well educated people who chose to pursue careers that obviously don't pay well.

I think the issue that the author is raising is that in the not-so-distant past, these jobs did pay well. They weren't wildly lucrative, but one could live comfortably as an academic. At some point though things started to change. College costs have massively outpaced inflation in the last two decades [0] and yet with all this extra money sloshing around in the system, salaries for tenured professors have not seen anything even close to that kind of growth in the same time period [1]. In fact most institutions actually employ fewer full-time faculty than they did 20 or 30 years ago, shifting more and more to part-timers and adjuncts [3].

There are a lot of people in this thread saying "it's just supply and demand!" and that's part of the story, but it's not the whole story. Conscious choices were made by university administrators, trustees, and boards to hollow-out and undercut the professorial class, even as they have massively expanded their own bureaucratic and administrative class, gone on building sprees, and spent lavishly on student amenities. I think it's fair for us to question the morality of this and to question whether the result of all this has been a net gain or loss for the cause of higher education.

> You chose to study medieval [sic] literature.

That kind of attitude towards the humanities and academia in general is distressing to me, but all too common these days. I think it's also a bit shortsighted as what's happening to academics is part of a larger hollowing-out of the middle class in this country; hardly something to be celebrated. Today it's college professors, but it's not at all unlikely that in a decade or two people will be saying similar things about people who "chose" to study software engineering.
