"we cannot create assembly code output from Meta II, as assemblers don’t allow for the inlining of strings."

This is actually not a major limitation. We've just been blinkered by decades of one kind of notion for "Assembler". It's actually quite easy to create a syntax atop machine code (and implemented in machine code) that provides string literals.

As evidence: I've done it. Here's the pass in my 'assembler' that implements string literals: http://akkartik.github.io/mu/html/apps/dquotes.subx.html. That page is 1925 lines long, but take out the comments and unit tests and there's only 383 lines of code (336 x86 instructions). Including library functions elsewhere (also built in machine code) the resulting binary is 6.5KB large.

There's an example up top that I'll reproduce here:

$ cat x
== code
ab "cd ef"/imm32

$ cat x | apps/dquotes
== code
ab __string1/imm32

== data
__string1:
5/imm32/length
0x63/c 0x64/d 0x20/ 0x65/e 0x66/f

All it's doing is moving string literals to the data segment and replacing their original location with the label they were moved to. Currently there's zero optimization; if you refer to "foo" 3 times you get 3 separate literals in your binary and data segment.

I think American people should turn public opinion against having such an “ally”, maybe then the politicians will take a notice
It's because software is primarily a means of rent-extraction on existing industries than providing massive amounts of new value, with the potential exception of cases where inferential computing is being used.

The market thinks it needs more software when what it needs is good software in the right place. But then the belief that an industry needs more software creates a problem – a lack of software. This comes with the host of other software-specific intractables which spurs on the growth of software-focused labor.

But in the process of converting an industry into one that is software dependent, you can capture massive market-share while gaining slightly greater efficiencies on the services provided by that industry but then introducing a whole new host of software-specific problems. Which grows software's demand.

The thesis that payoffs for VCs are so substantial in software startups come specifically from the scaling of software across an industry capturing industry-specific assets rather than improving the productivity of that industry per se. If it were just about outsized productivity more specific bets that resulted in critical efficiency improvements would be more common. But instead we see broad-based bets that serve to get rid of minor consumer inconveniences, then adding more inconveniences to produce an incentive to raise consumer prices.

> The issue is that society already prioritizes one gender over another. A community which prioritizes one gender over another is merely attempting to tip the already unbalanced scales of society towards equality.

Yes, in the spirit of the American civil rights movement. I particular remember Brown vs Board of Education where the Supreme Court ruled that separate but equal was totally great, as long as there were equal number of places where the black bathrooms were nicer than the white bathrooms as places where the white bathrooms were nicer than the black bathrooms.
> ...we shouldn't be surprised when regulations are changed by the caprice of the Executive, as they did with both Obama and now Trump.

You're right about that. But to be fair, Obama issued a bunch of executive orders because he literally got ZERO cooperation from republicans in his second term.

These orders are reversible but it's all he had to work with. I can appreciate that.

In the global long term, I don't think we can rely on nation-states to do right by the environment. The only way we will learn and, if we're lucky, adapt, is when things become drastic and horrifying.

I don't know whether this is just nostalgia, or maybe my finances used to be less complicated, but nothing beats the experience I had with the Microsoft Money desktop app.

It was easy to download transactions from participating banks (I think in OFX format?) and it was easy to see the last successful sync date per account. The UI made it straightforward to categorize my transactions and dead-simple to compare monthly spend against an easily mutable budget.

In fact it was so easy to use that for a good long while I found myself manually entering cash receipts and even tracking my cash purchases. And it cost $0. It felt better than Quicken for personal finance.

Maybe I have missed some major innovation in personal finance software -- I largely use Mint and home-grown spreadsheets now, and I keep hearing that people use paid tools like YNAB or free complementary-to-the-company's-real-job tools like the Personal Capital suite -- but this all feels like it's worse now.

Why is it a random and specific coincidence when a system you like fails but an inherent flaw of the system when a system you dislike fails?
You're claiming that if a piece of information has an identity that makes it reachable, then that makes it censorable too, but you left out what would be required to make that censorship happen. The gov't would have to require the IPFS codebase to support a 'blacklist table' of hashes, and then make it illegal for a server to run a codebase without using the 'updated' latest table. The the gov't would have to come up with a mechanism where they maintain and update this blacklist and disseminate it.

Meanwhile, if I want to make a blacklisted doc 'available again' all I'd have to do is add one bit or byte to the end of it, and the hash would change completely.

Right now one single person at one single tech company (like a Twitter employee) can literally ban someone for life, for perfectly legit political speech.

IPFS is the best-in-class effort to solve all that, and I'm actually a guy building a node that will go on the IPFS network.
Broadly, if they're out of policy (or not acting legally), yes, they share fault. Policy/law should ultimately be determined by the relevant elected body.

This isn't a simple call, as letting them go is not a zero-cost choice. Often they will go on to commit serious harm against bystanders in the future, perhaps many times.

Generally, someone purposefully fleeing is someone we don't want out in public. They're demonstrating their utter lack of concern for human life.
That's a funny joke but the housing crisis in CA is no laughing matter. many have lost family and friends who have had to leave the state. millenials have stopped having children. and the few who can buy are taking on insance mortgages to pay off million dollar homes which are supposed to cost 250K.

Well, I imagine the site was created in-part to afford the creators the freedom to moderate with respect to those goals, there's not really much they can do about the moderation strategies of sites they do not control. Regardless of an individual or community, people are often told "if you don't like it, go create your own community" and so this is what they did. At the end of the day, it's a win-win for everyone; those who may not appreciate a gender-sensitive moderation strategy will get to stay in the communities they enjoy, while those seeking a different approach now have an additional option.

I've upvoted you for two reasons. First, I think you're sincere. Second, I think it's important that someone respond to you rather than just downvote you and you're currently greyed.

> There is no one victim.

This is not relevant. @iron0013 didn't cite anything other than a brief snippet of the Wikipedia article. No other evidence was provided and no argument was made linking the snippet to Krauss' credibility or arguments. As far as I can tell, @iron0013 saw this snippet and immediately wrote of Krauss. That's not a reasonable position and it spawned this subthread, which, although I've participated in it, I find to be mostly off-topic.

> She merely said (in effect) that she was not particularly bothered that Krauss had touched her breast without permission.

You're paraphrasing a Buzzfeed article which is paraphrasing an ASU report which paraphrased the alleged victim. Here is her statement to the public: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wr9OIty2XGg

> See also the ASU investigation report, which is available here:

Actually, here: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/5015756-Krauss-Deter...

It's important to note that this report was prepared by a potential party to the allegations for the same party. It cannot simply be cited as evidence. At best, it should be treated as a suspect secondary source. In no case is it appropriate to treat it as a conviction.

Krauss' appeal also ought to be considered, whether it redeems or condemns him:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/10lHwatvaGfmWNc3NdoioncYi7da...

As well as his retirement letter:
https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/5015757-Krauss-Retir...

> Besides all that, Krauss unapologetically helped Epstein after he was released from prison.

This is wholly unrelated to his argument against the Doomsday Clock than the allegations which lead to his resignation from The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists.

And this is the crux of the issue. With extremely limited evidence (far, far less than you or I have provided), @iron0013 decided Krauss should be completely ignored, without even consider Krauss' argument. He's certainly free to do so, but based on the voting down of his comment, I'm happy to believe that the majority of people don't want to live in a world where others can be socially, professionally, and politically ostracized for alleged wrongdoing without so much as a trial.

I've offered the evidence here so people can make their own determinations, but I do so with the understanding that this entire subthread is off-topic and irrelevant to the issue at hand.

For me, personally, I don't have enough information to convict him or acquit him; and I think the rational choice is to acknowledge that the accusations exist. At best, I think @iron0013 could have pointed out the circumstances of Krauss' resignation, but even then, it's not relevant to the arguments Krauss makes. His motivation largely doesn't matter unless you're trying to somehow not 'let him win.'

> Men do not face these issues (although of course race, ethnicity etc are also issues, so many men face discrimination, but not because they are men, for other reasons)

Couldn't it be argued that being excluded from a community such as this based solely on sex is the exact discrimination you're claiming doesn't happen? Should Hacker News exclude entire classes of people based on how the statements of a few make others feel?

Wouldn't it be more effective to moderate the behavior of the community, rather than discriminating based on sex?
There's a funny story from the 80s in which a cargo ship crew was awarded an exorbitant sum of money from the Royal Navy when one of their Harrier pilots got disoriented and, running out of fuel, chose to land on a van parked on the deck of the ship...
Thanks! That comment was helpful. If you don't mind I have some more questions still:

> Gathering us is an opportunity to find allies, but also models, people from who you can inspire from and find the strength to do what you want to do.

IIUC, you're saying that you see value in having (specifically) women as allies and sources of inspiration / strength. If that's true, why would that be?

> But I’m glad I have a place like Women Make for certain topics and to know I’m not alone in this.

Would you mind sharing a bit about what those topics are?

Actually yes. More people and more activity means more moderation. And I think it's the time you realize if your foundations are strong enough. Moderation really is everything, and it's a lot of work to make people understand what are the values of the community, what is tolerated or not, etc. while making it welcoming. If you made that clear since the beginning, it's easier to handle later. And members might actually help you too, they become messengers, they also represent the community.
Yep. This is just No True Scotsman.

I'm not seeing how the verification process of making sure someone is "flesh and blood" behind their mobile app would be appreciably different than registering for a passport, for instance. A person would presumably have multiple levels of identification (state id, ssn, birth certificate) that they can send in electronically to register an account, that is then tied to a username/password/device. A "vote" would need a checkout of not only an existing account but also a new, untampered photo of your face with a piece of id, just like a real-life vote would work.
The reason here is to use a rough filter to ensure women, already discouraged from an ongoing media narrative, don't get discouraged again during their first couple of events by random coder-bros or even "are you here with your boyfriend".

Even the anxiety of knowing someone can decide to show up to use you as target practice for "taking these females down a peg" has been enough that I've watched friends decide to not go to events.

And damn straight, that guy will show up in events if the event runners aren't actively trying to filter bad actors out of the community. From my own experiences running a Meet-up, that guy always shows up, always offers to help the event runners, and immediately uses their status as a blunt object on people they deem unworthy.

It's not perfect, and I look forward to community-standards getting better for organizations so these enclaves are unnecessary. (If anyone has a good way to handle community complaints that have worked under strain, please for the love of the gods PM me. An Ombudsman office is the best I've found, but it tends to have a lot of burnout.)

Right now, we're in the Trump era. The individual health of the members is more important than trying to reach out and make a larger, healthier organization. It's a bad trade off, but there isn't a good, scalable solution yet.

I've been involved in mountain rescue for almost 20 years now. The main reason I've heard over the years for not charging for rescue is that it causes people to delay asking for help. This results in more high-risk calls for rescuers, and worse outcomes for people in need of rescue.

In most situations, the cost of a rescue is not nearly as significant as media accounts portray. People love to cite the cost of helicopters in USCG rescues. USCG pilots need to fly a certain number of hours; those hours can come from missions or training sessions. When they fly more missions, they reduce their training hours.

Creating a rescue policy for really high-traffic areas like the most popular national parks is a different story. Those are outlier situations, and we shouldn't have the same policy for SAR in average rural areas that we do for popular national parks.

Edit: I meant to add another reason for not charging for rescue. I have been on missions where we reached the missing person, and the person initially refused our help because they thought we were going to charge them. The same conversation played out on the mountain that we're seeing play out in the comments here. In the end, these people are very happy to receive the assistance they needed; they were not going to get out of the mountains on their own.

I don't agree that trying to imagine how women might feel is a problem.
Wait, is not that a bit recursive thought? To me it is a bit like:
- Why?
- Because you asked why.

Edit:
- Because you don't know "fundamentally" why
That is a tricky one. I agree with the all the problems people point out from the current system. However I also want my doctor to know about all the possible treatments not just the ones that were in vogue when he was in school. That means learning about all this. Doctors - like everybody - have their lazy side and won't always keep up. Continuing education is a part of this, but manufactures reps marketing is another way to get doctors to learn something they might not otherwise.

Again, it isn't perfect. I don't have answers, just a knowledge about how complex things are.
People obviously have to take responsibility for themselves in order to be successful, but this kind of article is a valuable corrective to the notion that individuals are solely responsible for their successes and failures. This seems self-evident to me on reflection; we are all products of the families and societies in which we grew up.

I agree that that is a sentiment (being from one of those states originally), but then you have to start talking about how very reliant those same areas are on government programs (in other cases those same people would call hand-outs):

1. Rural telecommunication is highly subsidized. People living in cities almost entirely fund the expensive infrastructure needed to connect those living outside them.
2. Rural electric is mostly done through semi-governmental agencies (co-ops) that are largely built using government-subsidized loans (small hand-out) and grants (larger hand-outs). Urban electricity is more (but still not completely) private.
3. Farmers (the basis of most rural economies) are generally protected by government-subsidized and run crop insurance programs, and have a number of programs that pay them to fallow their land at times (direct payments not to plant things to manipulate the market). There are also numerous subsidy programs to make direct payments to shore up effective commodity prices.
4. Social Security is just a baseline everywhere. Despite the system that is designed to fool you into thinking you pay for your later payments through wage taxes, most people who make it to retirement get out much more than they ever put in (even adjusted for interest and inflation).

So I would submit that those same people who talk about not being dependent are in face highly dependent.
