Yep but to be fair that isn’t a younger age group. Broadly speaking under-20s are pretty much unaffected. 20-40 aren’t particularly affected either if in good health and without comorbidities. 40+ can be quite seriously affected and over 65s it’s a double digit risk of death. It’s super non-linear.

It seems speculatively like this is due to age-linked expression of ACE2.

No, we don't expect peer reviewers to investigate the sourcing of data. A journal reviewer might be assigned a workload of dozens of papers to be completed, in snippets of spare time, over the course of a month or two. Peer reviewers aren't equipped to do that kind of vetting; that's what replication is for, and replications are their own research projects. It's really surprising what kinds of expectations people seem to have about peer review and what it can reasonably accomplish.

"Who's Afraid Of Peer Review" targeted fee-charging open-access journals, which are financially incentivized to accept random papers. Journal reviewers are generally unpaid postgraduate academics.

You absolutely nailed it and this is why -- if I have any say in this (and I do) -- we will be moving away from Ubuntu.

This is amazing. I loved The Far Side as a kid, and for the last year or so my son and I have switched from me reading books to him, to him reading Calvin and Hobbes and The Far Side to me. The Far Side is by far is favourite, I can't wait to tell him this!
I'm so glad she wrote this, and that she named names!

As a female founder (not black though), we went through a similarly congnitively dissonant process. A-List investors who would publicly talk about supporting female founders would behave the worst (esp. female investors, Hi Aileen!), investors whose entire brand was around supporting ethical startups (or insert any similar alternative movement) would be the least interested in that aspect (Hi Spero Ventures!) All of that, along with a healthy dose of rudeness.

In our experience, those at the very very top of the totem pole gave us the fairest chance, and those below them, were the very worst. In the end, it was hard no to feel that an investor's Twitter persona was a sham, in the end they would invest only in the hottest SAAS startup by an ex-Googler.

FWIW, I know my experience was not alone. There are tons of now well-funded female founders who will echo this sentiment. I just wish there was a way to have a public list of those who walk the talk and those who just tweet the walk..

EDIT: Adding something from thread below to focus more on solutions, and providing perspective on why what is happening is not enough.

>...What is frustrating about these investors (and YC) is that it all is very surface level. I'm sure they believe they are doing the right thing but all of their assumptions, ideas, pipelines, and teams, all are informed by those biases. And there isn't enough being done to deconstruct that. For example, what does it mean to say 'too early' to an under-represented founder? who is the comparison to? How many of your last X investments or team members came from Stanford or ex-FAANG?

Ask HN: What's the best domain name you bought?
I've bought lots that have come and gone, but I think my favorite is crowdwave.com - every time I come up with the next great project idea, I think "maybe this is the one to use crowdwave.com on".
Yeah, and as DiabloD3 mentioned as well, I think it's a very good reminder.
Even if her business idea was bad, or her app didn't have traction, or her LI profile was not impressive enough, she deserved, at the very least, the following:

* Access to VCs, she had to use her husband's email to get access.
* Some constructive and personalized feedback. This does not have to be very detailed, a couple of no-BS sentences will do the trick.

I get that VCs are too busy to respond to each and every email they get, but they, and every one of us in the tech sector who is in a position to do so, needs to walk the extra mile to pull in people from under-represented communities who are trying to get in.
Good correction, thanks! :)

No, just roll on with it.

There was a period of time, around 2010-2015 when I really felt that computers were fast. SSDs were getting more affordable and that was a huge improvement, every action was immediately responsive. In 2020, that has somehow been undone. It takes 5 seconds to launch a calculator. Software guys really like to undo all the advances that the hardware guys are doing.

Data driven priors are more common now. Sometimes this is called empirical Bayes. Also priors can change after model checking. These are data driven priors, but not EB.

The prior is only negligible in infinite sample sizes. It could still have a large effect given 100s or 1000s of observations. For example, if the prior variance is miss specified by an order of magnitude (not uncommon).
Hadn't heard the name but glad I did. I was going to look for a live CD distro with good NTFS read support for the old drive recovery. This sounds good.

I can see those stereotype applying in a lot of situations. It makes me wonder, looking at them, how does the prospect for reproduction play into it.

At a high level, one big difference is that straight couples can reproduce together. So its not merely looking for a partner in life, or a partner to help raise a child with. But for the prospect of merging your genes.

I think nowadays a lot of the behavior could be explained by values lingering. But I can also rationalize how in a more natural order, without contraception existing, the decision for two straight people to get together comes with a much higher risk/reward ratio. From this, entails that picking the best partner is much more important, and making sure they'll remain throughout the whole pragnency and afterwards to help and support, etc. All that seems to weigh on the decisions for two people to partner up in a straight relationship that doesn't seem as likely in a gay one.

Maybe those instincts remains in straight people, even though nowadays we have good contraception. Or maybe it's that values of such time still linger. Also, even with contraception, it be pretty weird for a straight couple to decide to find a suitable surrogate, so there's still that ultimate, would this be the genetic other of my child?

This is not something I was specifically looking for when I was dating. I wasn't very sure what I was looking for to be honest, I think I was trying find someone to get along with as well as be attracted physically. When I was dating I wasn't even looking for a wife and this is a bit of a problem with the dating culture, only few want to take this step. This is important because it take your life to a different level or completely wreck it if the marriage fails and end up with kids and bills
A thing I think is interesting is that comparing my single friends to my married friends, there isn't really an obvious advantage the married friends have in terms of skills / attractiveness / etc. other than they decided they wanted to be married.

They didn't claim "a thousand instances". They claim 1000 hours of field study. That number shocks people, but over the course of a year, it's a half-time job for a researcher, and so your argument is left at "that seems like a dumb thing for a researcher to allocate half their time to". I mean, sure, I agree, but so what? That's not a very interesting argument, or a damning one.

I highly doubt this is going to be the case. Even those 100 year registrations could easily bankrupt a company with a steep domain price hike or some inflation.

I mean, it's okay if one wants to be secure, but investing several thousand dollars in a company for a promise that's very likely going to be broken is - in my opinion - not a good strategy. Especially when you can invest the same money into a 10-year registration with yearly renewal (to stay at 10 years) and sufficient monitoring.
Please explain your plan for what happens the following semester, once in-person classes resume, and these students are stuck abroad until such time that they are able to renew their visa stamps (which is a notoriously expensive, long process that can result in denials for completely arbitrary reasons).

Trigger Warning: Should Our Entertainment Heritage Be Immune to Cancel Culture?
> you should not put much stock in the interview process. But there is a sense in which it is very impolite to say so.

The interview processes are still very fair compared to things like "performance" reviews and company "levels". People often pretend these types of internal processes are indicators of actual competence when they are usually just based on things like nepotism and corruption.

At least these algorithm interviews can successfully weed out people who can't write basic code. I can't say the same for promotion processes.

FWIW, we had the same experience with the other Spero VC: Shripriya Mahesh. She has a lot of blogposts around investing in startups that level the playing field, and not once did that topic come up in our conversations. And she isn't the only investor. A general rule of thumb we learnt: more an investor talks about a topic, less likely is that they care.

From the paper [1]:

> Here we analyse genome-wide variation in individuals from islands across Polynesia for signs of Native American admixture, analysing 807 individuals from 17 island populations and 15 Pacific coast Native American groups. We find conclusive evidence for prehistoric contact of Polynesian individuals with Native American individuals (around ad 1200) contemporaneous with the settlement of remote Oceania. Our analyses suggest strongly that a single contact event occurred in eastern Polynesia, before the settlement of Rapa Nui, between Polynesian individuals and a Native American group most closely related to the indigenous inhabitants of present-day Colombia.

Rapa Nui is Easter Island. No surprises on the genetic front but the navigational path sailed holds intriguing possibilities.

Reminds me of those videos from the 1950s that predicted what life would look like in the year 2000.

He's right about cleaning datasets being an entire job itself. But that should have been a red flag for his conclusion even then. Scaling anything means scaling costs. So, the more you want your neurochip to do that it isn't capable of doing by design, you need to do before or after it's done its task(s). That's what's between the lines of what he mentioned of "silent fails." If you don't want bias in your output, and your design isn't capable of vetting bias, you need to do the work of vetting bias before you pass that dataset off. That means you need an entire model defining bias, predicting impact and constraints on outputs.

I've said it before and will continue saying it 'til I'm apparently blue in the face: The complexity of a solution is dependent on the complexity of the problem it solves. I get that simple things feel attractive because they require less effort. We don't really reduce effort so much as we shift it from wholly solutionizing to partly solutionizing and mostly trying to continue to partly solutionize.
You can't use it if the system has an NMI because it could push a return address on the stack at any time (unless there's a way to mask the "non-maskable", perhaps by disabling all devices that could generate NMIs). Luckily there was no NMI on the basic Spectrum. I believe it was only used by those game copying dongles where you would press a button to stop the system and snapshot memory.
Good, now make it round-trip. In C# the hard part is not serializing, but deserializing robustly and type-safely.
That bar chart does link to another report breaking down the share of degrees awarded by race.

e.g. we see that for academic year 2015-2016, whites earned 65% of bachelor's degrees and blacks earned 11%. The estimate of the US population for 2019 [note, 2019 is not 2015] currently visible in Wikipedia says that whites are 60.4% of the population and blacks are 13.4%.

Throwing in another assumption, we'll just say that of whites and blacks, each group is exactly half male and half female.

Thus, in our population of 60400 whites and 13400 blacks, with 20,000 degrees earned between them:

- The whites earned 17,105 degrees.

- The blacks earned 2,895 degrees.

- Of the black degrees, 1,853 went to black women, and 1,042 went to black men.

- Of the white degrees, 9,579 went to white women, and 7,526 went to white men.

- There are 30200 white men, 30200 white women, 6700 black men, and 6700 black women.

- The rate of earning a bachelor's degree is 31.7% [note: we made this number up. It is useful only for comparing to the other three groups] for white women, 24.9% for white men, 27.7% for black women, and 15.6% for black men. White women are noticeably more educated than black women are.

The original claim lumped in associate degrees along with bachelor's degrees. This might make that claim true. However, it would be hard to blame someone for viewing an associate degree as a negative rather than a positive signal.

(Final note: population share of the United States is not the same thing as population share of those of college age in the United States.)

Absolutely, the requirement is commitment to success. I used to believe in true love and finding the right person. About 10 years ago I went on a trip across China, and at one point joined a tour group for a few days. On that tour I got to know a couple who got married through an arraigned marriage. I grew up thinking that arraigned marriage was terrible, but what I saw in this couple was a more beautiful facet of love than I had ever witnessed. Each person was committed to making it work, learning to live with and love the other.
