She was deserving of credit.

She did great work, and so did dozens (hundreds?) of others on that project.

She wasn't deserving of the level of credit that the media gave her when they cast her as the star, visionary, and quasi-leader of the whole enterprise.

Nobody was ever against Katie. They were against the way the media handled the story - by slanting the story to advance a political agenda that had nothing to do with the discovery itself, and then calling everyone who had a problem with that sexist while entirely eliding their own role in the controversy.

It was entirely a conflict between the media and the people calling out the media for obvious bias. As always, the media's response was to build a narrative where their critics were just trying to hurt [insert victim/victim group here].
The proper use of user-select in CSS
It's not that complicated. There are only like 20+ popular javascript (or Typescript, CoffeeScript, Dart, ...) frontend frameworks to choose from (Vuejs, React, Angular, ...) and their popularity changes over time. Several so called "native" solutions if you also want fast Mobile apps and HTML is not looking good enough (NativeScript, ReactNative or even Flutter). And there are like 10+ languages to choose for the backend development. And don't forget proper state management client-side to maintain single source of trust (Redux, RxJS, NgRx or Vuex)! Webapps are for teams of people nowadays. Frontend team and backend team. You need like 10 people to make modern SPAs properly, also with all the proper CSP, headers and caching settings. And you have to transpile the code to javascript after every change and 1.5 GB of JS dependencies and tools with web-based editor like VSCode. But all that is worth it because it's so interactive and modern. :)
I wish we could get away from the fashion show in this industry. Currently we have a React frontend, which just adds extra complexity for no real benefit. But its fashionable.

One issue is that once you've made someone a CTO, it's hard to hire above them without them leaving. To be honest, as someone who's been a CTO a few times, you probably don't want anyone with the title CTO until quite late in the game, if at all. This allows much more flexibility with where people can be hired and the responsibilities they can be given.
> You could build an entire civilization just using our leftovers, no need to dig iron out, just melt the hundreds of millions of automobile husks that will be everywhere.

Not sure if this is practical. In contrast to ore which is basically rock and more-or-less pure iron (or other desired metal), automobiles are a wild mix of different alloys which would have to be extensively processed (if this is possible in the first place). With plastics, the situation is similar if not worse, given that not all plastics melt, and burned fuel is burned and cannot be recovered at all.

The only thing where our civilizational waste can be used is if someone invents a Star Trek replicator clone.

> The site’s now characteristic tone of performative erudition—hyperrational, dispassionate, contrarian, authoritative—often masks a deeper recklessness.

I recently started contributing on another online community, a Slack, and I've found the rhetorical habits I've unwittingly cultivated creating a weird sort of mood. Nothing I'm saying is wrong, but HN has managed to make me somewhat oblivious to tone.

It's exactly as she describes, 'reckless'. I dare to go places that will rile people up. The silence that met my initial posts was deafening.

I initially wanted to retreat back to my familiar communities, Quora, HN. But I've never backed down from this kind of challenge before and I'm not about to now. I'm slowly managing to discover better 'hygiene' so I can fit better into this particular community of wonderful people.

But I wouldn't give back my participation in HN for anything. More than any other place I've ever found, HN makes me feel like I belong.
Toronto built a complex for urban workers which was designed to be highly walkable “Towers in a Park” approach meant for 1950s young “swinging single” workers, the quintessential urban planning done by cities of the era, but before long it turned into an urban ghetto where drug dealers and petty crime thrived because there was poor access for police vehicles and other types of law enforcement with the towering buildings and narrow walkways shielding any bad behaviour.

Which is sad because it’s next to one of the nicest neighbourhoods in the city (Cabbagetown).

Not at all. It's rather the community that makes it a reasonable discussion space. Most people here understand that this is not Reddit and that proper answers are needed when you interact with other members. Of course moderation is useful and necessary in certain cases, but it's certainly far from being the key factor here.

tl;dr It's an automated image classification system ("Tank division identified"), with some ability to identify and predict movement of said objects ("Tank division likely moving east"). Not sure how the Verge author jumped from predictive defense analytics to "it's a brain!."

I'm also highly skeptical of this system's predictive abilities. I recall a similar system (also described as "modeled after the human brain," whatever that means) from my time at a major defense contractor. It tried to predict the movements of the enemy and feelings of the non-combatant population via scrapings of news sites, social media, and other online sources. Never mind that the target battlefield was Afghanistan, where Internet adoption isn't quite 100%.

"you may be free to bring a gun into your home for defence, but the tradeoff is that you and your family are 3x freer to die from gunshot wounds as a result."

Do I need to say this? Correlation does not equal causation.

"restriction of high fire rate firearms, like the assault rifles used in all of the mass shootings over the last decade"

I never stated any such support, and that is not the definition of an assault rifle, it's the definition of an automatic weapon.

"it's very interesting you'd consider the death of some white farmers in Africa as pertinent, when the vast majority of political violence in America in the last decade has been perpetrated by white men."

I wasn't talking about 'gun violence', I was talking about political violence; those African killers are not necessarily using guns. You didn't understand me, clearly, but nice to immediately slip in a racism accusation there.

Of course it's perpetrated by whites; they're almost 80% of the population.

"Do you feel like if the brave men and women of the American military were ordered to take your guns, they'd do so?"

The rest of what you're saying seems to be some kind of rhetorical trick; speak plainly if you have a point to make.

I don't have any guns and I never said I was American, but I appreciate the stereotyping and assumptions. Clearly, imagining me as a truck-driving beer-swilling hillbilly, or whatever racist steretotype you prefer, makes it easier to not think about what I'm saying, because you clearly didn't engage with any of it.

In trading as an individual, you don't need to beat the big guys, you just need to hit your objectives (hedging/profit targets). If someone moved later than the big guns, but in the same direction, with reasonable risk assessment/management, then it can still be profitable.

If they moved against, and had reasonable risk management, it should minimize losses.

I'm saying the root cause is not organized labor. It is technology.

For thousands of years those bad conditions reigned. For thousands of years, 'organized labor' changed nothing. Then technology changed, and suddenly 'organized labor' became able to offer all these wonderful things. Does it sounds like 'organized labor' can take credit for all that? That they just happened to succeed in the decades after industrial technology took off?

The timeline clearly indicates technology, which increased productivity across the board, as the root cause.
This.

I knew a few companies, where founders were fighting over C-level roles.

If a company under 10 people has a CTO it is a bad sign.

If a company over 20 people doesn't have a CTO it is also a bad sign.

Yes, because something like an engineering margin or extra capacity for unpredictable situations is a bad thing. /s

People do not learn. No safety margin means things will fail so you need to expect failure.
Even if you do expect failure, there is a chance of unexpected kind of failure. Failures tend to be much more costly than the extra capacity.

And that's in predictable systems, not something as unpredictable as say an ssh server.
Whistleblowing protection, for what?

> Of the total U.S. mobile and desktop searches that occur on Google, is it true that less than 50% result in clicks on non-Google websites?

Google was asked if less than 50% of Google search results end in a user on a non-Google site. Presumably the 50% number came from some study, which Google mentioned in their response. They noted that the study hadn't been clear on the methodology used and may include cases where the user didn't end up on any site (e.g. "How old is Obama" shows 58 years in the search results).

It's an entirely reasonable answer to the 50% claim. As to the actual number, that depends on how you define the question (see above). They were not asked what percentage, there were asked about the specific claim of 50%, presumably from some paper, which the answer referenced.

And the bigger point is that author of these tweets shows this as some kind of smoking gun. Google is intended to get you answers, not to distribute traffic to other websites. In the case above, if they could answer your question immediately rather than forward you to some site, that's a good thing. If people are searching for video and the video is hosted on Youtube which is owned by Google (gasp!), rather than some shady Russian video site, they should forward users to Youtube.

I get it, some people don't like Google. But this kind of phony outrage hurts actual issues with tech dominance
Not so sure. There are lots of source disciplines. Learning one makes the next one not so obvious.

Hey, I just noticed that I never responded to you directly: my objection to the comment I replied to wasn’t because it didn’t affect some end-to-end encryption apps but that Apple wasn’t acting against them because they implemented encryption. They’re going against everything using the VoIP API for non-VoIP features and there’s an official replacement API available, so the language casting it as a threat to privacy seemed unfounded.
dang’s style of censoring viewpoints via decorum is the same policy which has Google et al facing federal investigation for bias against conservatives.

It’s not good.

I hope the government does pass non-discrimination legislation for online platforms — seeing dang get sued for his behavior would be very satisfying. (And let’s be honest — he’s not going to stop censoring for wrongthink before then.)
The guidelines of the site I think are the ultimate precedent. If Dang dont get ya the rest of the community likely will. HN is somewhat self-moderating after all. I have seen users point out to abuses of the community guidelines.

I feel like sometimes users with negative Karma like crazy become even more obvious to mods. Sidenote: I still yearn to see what HN looks like to mods and what not. Not to cheat the system but to understand the system more (I love knowing these sorts of hidden details).
