Love it when a bunch of new users join the discussion to spread anti-Israeli propaganda.

Israel isn't perfect, and has its own internal tensions, much like the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and basically every other nation.

Trying to use these tensions as a wholesale argument against Israel is like claiming Sweden is an illegitimate country since it's going through social tensions and unrest due to immigration right now.

Take land from who? The land was under ottoman rule for 400 years before the British mandate and had a consistent Jewish presence there since biblical times. Most of the so called "Palestinians" are not native to the land, many of them were "undocumented" immigrants which moved there after the Jews started to redevelop the area by buying land, unlike the Arabs who took everything by force, not to mention the ethnic cleansing of Jews from the whole of the middle east that is not Israel.

In general Arabs are invaders and colonialists in the Levant which was always part of the fertile crescent and the Mediterranean rather than connected to the desert Arabs. The hate to Israel is purely based on religion and tribalism and started long before Israel was formed.
Not a surprise. Collagen is important for healing skin wounds, and vegans get none from their diet. (Collagen is just a protein, so it can be generated by the body, but it's easier for the body to simply take collagen from dietary sources.)
> pretty essential for certain companies in the B2C sector to get off the ground

This blog post is selling an agenda (as is what i'm about to say :) ), and that agenda is that you should pay Interviewing.io to help you get through interviews.

I think the bigger problem is that technical interviews are broken. I ask everyone to bring their own project to work on, since I hate the traditional tech interview process so much. And it goes incredibly well.

It could be adding a feature to a side project, starting something new, or contributing to open source. (Or, we have some stock ideas if people need inspiration.) Rather than asking them to solve a problem they had never heard of before or use a codebase they're not familiar with, I get so much more out of watching them work in their own environment.

I can ask them questions about why they're doing something, and they tend to have much more detailed answers because they've been thinking about it for weeks. They're solving a problem they care about in a codebase they know, which mimics how working with them will be a few months in.

We could all just buy into this notion that tech interviews suck but we have to deal with them. And then, like SAT Prep classes, there's a whole industry around how to pass them. Or, we can spend more time talking about how there's definitely a better way.
Ok, I've gone to shop in lots of stores in countries where I do not speak the language, as part of the whole human checkout system there is always (in non street market situations) a machine display that says how much of the local currency I need to give up.

On the other hand I think I may be abnormally sensitive to badly worked out human machine interactions since working out these kinds of interactions is part of my job as a programmer. So when something is poorly thought out I think that I feel it stronger than most people do.
In a corrupt society, you get nowhere being morally absolute. There’s different shades of shady, but you only have one life to live, and depending on the circumstances, your best option might be to play ball.

Push comes to shove, people are going to choose to feed their family. Apple doing fake reviews and a struggling low profit restaurant because all the other restaurants are inflating their reviews are different circumstances.

I don't disagree with any of your assertions, but it remains a mystery how women then are excluded from top jobs if they do better in middle school through college and are less likely to be diagnosed with something that would impair their job performance.
Diversity in the West basically means 'Not Just White People' due to historical power asymmetries, and the fact that at least in the 'New World', 'race' is not supposed to be a defining feature of national identity, or at least for some. It's slightly more of a paradox outside the New World because ethnicity and nationality are really tightly intertwined.

King Solomon's Mines would count as fantasy-adventure, for its time period. It gets listed among influences on or precursors to 20th-century fantasy literature pretty often. I think it's 200ish pages, maybe 250. It's closer to Indiana Jones than to modern fantasy, though. You're not going to find a ton of "high fantasy" before Tolkien, if that's your thing. Mostly fantasy-adventure (as King Solomon's) or "low fantasy" (think: Conan the Barbarian) and a few works playing with folk-tale and fairy tale motifs.

Sci-fi is easy because it's a genre full of great short stories and novellas. Arguably, it's better suited to those than to novels. The New Hugo Winners collections showcase a lot of shorter works that tend to be a bit more "literary" (in an early Asimov-penned forward to one of these, he claims to have passed off editing duties on the "New Hugo" series because he doesn't quite understand the appeal of these newer stories). The chief difference is that older, less-literary sci-fi tends to focus on ideas, while in more recent material characters, theme, mood, and quality of prose take greater prominence. However there were authors working in that more literary space in the more classic-era of sci-fi like, as I mentioned before, Bradbury.

I'd hit up broad collections of classic sci-fi stories, which will mostly be good stuff and will give you an idea of the intentions and capabilities of a ton of authors, most of whom have large bodies of work to explore, and the New Hugo Winners series. Both kinds of book are readily found for very little money at thrift shops and used book stores. I'd avoid other annual collections (Year's Best, The Hugo Winners) until you've got a better idea of what you're looking for—get wide-ranging best-of collections and the New Hugos until then.
The idea of boycotting goods from manufacturers whose enterprises are supported by state perpetrators of genocide might appeal to lots of people who are humanists.

In practice, that would mean not buying anything that has a connection to a list of countries that includes China, Indonesia, Belgium, and several countries which I'm not going to list because the conversation would become unmanageable, just as the Uyghur conversation would become unmanageable within China.

If China were the only guilty state in the world, a boycott would be a different proposition to what it is. Even then, it's not guaranteed to be effective because the way things work psychologically, commercially, and geopolitically.

Even though 99% of people consider themselves humanists, they are able to compartmentalise their feelings in surprising ways when it comes to the acquisition of consumer goods, energy, copper, gold, diamonds, and real estate.
How is it possible that girls perform better academically (in 2015) yet are under represented in the top tier of jobs?

I'd argue mostly for 1) and 2).

Here is my model:

1. Men have higher variance on any skill, even if men and women have the same average level, men will outnumber women at the highest and lowest levels by 2 or 3 to 1.

2. The median girl is much more likely to do her busy work because her teacher tells her to. Boys are more likely to do some bit of work only because they see some advantage to themselves. Boys are more likely to do unassigned work if they see some sort of long-term advantage to it (eg, learning programming on the side). The boy of 40th percentile aptitude, who knows he will never have a job doing math, isn't going to try that hard at his math homework. But that same boy might tinker with his car on the side and become a great mechanic.

When we reach the real world, males are finally doing work that has a pay-off, not just busy work. So they actually start trying hard, as compared to schoolwork where the median girl does more homework than the median boy.

The median girl works harder than the median boy at busywork. But when we reach the real world, the top man in a given career path is working just as hard as the top woman, and because of higher male variance, there are more men of top abilities that get the top positions.

On top of that, in my experience, women do make different choices with career paths. Men do seem to seek career paths that pay well, women often want to go into "non-profits" and areas with a "social mission." It's interesting how we moved toward an expectation that women work instead of staying home -- but we taught girls that the purpose of work is "self-actualization", while more men still have the expectation that they are to find a job that can support a family. (These are gross generalizations, and broad trends I have observed, obviously, many exceptions exist).

And as others pointed out, many women, correctly IMO, would much rather stay home with their babies or take a "mommy track" job than take a high-powered career path.
That's fair - but if you tear that shirt through your own usage or because it was poorly made - that's on you.

There is a very fair expectation of continued support when it comes to software, this doesn't need to include new features, but security issues in libraries should continue to be fixed. That implies an ongoing cost that might not have an ongoing revenue stream to sustain it.

When it comes to shirts there is no similar expectation of ongoing maintenance - Nike isn't going to come to your house and resew a seam because they did a shoddy job the first time.

"run by" is a common phrase used to mean the person or persons who make decisions. Normally the manager, or owner. You could say "That pizza place is run by someone from my neighborhood."

In the context of the school it would mean the administration, the school board, and if its a private school the owners or trustees.
They disabled the auto-hiding of the bar about a month ago. Now it stays visible all the time.

Just judging from what I read iso8601 is based off of rfc3339 (as i assume the "request for comments" phase is before the iso standardization). ISO slightly improved the rfc, but it is largely the same. "Internet RFCs" (if thats the right word for the phenomenon) are free, that's the whole point. ISO has taken the free (as in speech) and is now selling a derivative work.

I think we need to call Stallman on this one. We need Copyleft licenses on our standards to prevent this kind of corporate freeloading.

ISO just sunk in my esteem, silly dinosaurs. I hope they get replaced by something that makes more sense.
Any research on gender past infancy has a problem in that it's hard to untangle what is "innate" and what is a result of differentiated socialization based on gender.

There's a lot of speculation in this forum about whether this is because of different distributions of IQ, effects of testosterone, etc., but how can we possibly determine if these are true differences or the result of parents, teachers, and other people in society treating young children differently based on their gender?
Thanks a lot, as I was writing/design I was concerned it would be a bit over-designed. I learned a lot for next time!

At a base concept, I agree. I think without a mature version of this idea, content could become lost rather quickly. A further iteration would likely be able to deal with some of those issues (say an sortable/algorithmic feed, and notifications tab). A way to filter/sort activity might be able to solve some of those issues.

With glaciers and mountain snowcaps melting, I'd guess that developing countries would continue to invest in hydrological engineering projects. They give electricity, yes, but they also help prevent flooding, and provide year-round water for irrigation and cities.

The slow spring melt of mountain snow turns into a sudden post-storm flood, if the temperatures are warm enough...
The problem is you are assuming you can do that. Not everything is connected to the internet, and there are backups. You can probably shutdown power for a couple days (and a couple more weeks to be back up to full power), but you can only pull that trick once or twice before they start taking action. It isn't hard to disconnect internet cables (shut down all internet and force the operators to use personal cell phones...).

Likewise, water processing is mostly pumps. Even better, any competent town has backup generators and they keep a few days of fuel on hand, so even if you get the grid down there is water, and the system can function without internet.

That isn't to say you can't annoy life for everyone. However state collapse won't happen because of that. More likely you firm up the resolve to fight.
Maybe men are just more capable in a professional setting, and women more capable at school?
I'd like to see data on academic performance in specialties. Most well-paying first world countries employ specialists (eg, doctors, programmers, lawyers, accountants, etc). Recall Simpson's paradox in statistics, where a general distribution doesn't have to apply to the individual sub-sets.

FTA:

> Women who go to university are more likely than their male peers to graduate, and typically get better grades. But men and women tend to study different subjects, with many women choosing courses in education, health, arts and the humanities, whereas men take up computing, engineering and the exact sciences. In mathematics women are drawing level; in the life sciences, social sciences, business and law they have moved ahead.

This paragraph seems to support the idea of my above musing.

> academic skills have no bearing in getting high paying jobs

I highly doubt that there is no correlation, but I doubt that education is the sole factor. Girls performance over boys is a slight, but significant, edge, but since success likely draws from a handful of other factors, a few of them having a counter slight, but significant edge, might be enough to swing the other direction.
I sometimes wonder about statements like this. Like when Uber and Lyft were hamfisted about their messaging around Prop 22. It's like the online world (universally against Prop 22) is inhabited by a significantly distinct group from the real world (mildly for Prop 22).

I think the truth is that absolute karma counting (i.e. 5000 up, 4900 down is a -100 comment) makes things appear more significantly skewed than they are.
As noted, people may join together for anti-fascist activity, and any organization may participate in such activity. That does not imply an "Antifa" organization any more than the activity of fascists implies a Fascist organization.

There are many fascist and fascist-leaning groups and individuals, and many opposing them. Anyone may oppose them, without need for permission. Organizing with local others can produce greater effect. That also does not require permission.

Any existing organization may choose to engage in anti-fascist activity, possibly in coördination with other groups. That also does not imply an "Antifa" organization.

Opposition to fascism is everyone's responsibility. How that opposition may best be effected varies with circumstance. Rooting out fascism in police departments is an obviously important part of anti-fascist activity.
Thank you for an interesting submission.
The points stand. Campaign donations can have undocumented quid pro quos. Legality is what we agree it is, so if some consider an execution unlawful then it is murder. Consider how many innocents given death penalty and exonerated earlier (for a simple case, Salem witch trials).
Isn't this a slightly less general version of Zulip? I wish more products would adopt that topic model, it works really well for bridging the overlapping conversation puzzle.
Isn't that, by definition, not a clean-room solution?
Yeah, I honestly enjoy the loosely linear way that Discord's chat works for informal conversation. You just.... chat, unless you're replying to something a bit further up, then you mark it as a reply. It feels completely informal without the rigidity you get from Teams/Google Chat/Slack's independent versions of threads.

I feel like something like this makes sense in theory, but when you apply it to a group you'll have people either exclusively use the content feature or exclusively use the messaging feature. People don't want to need to think to chat, they just want to talk like they normally would.
Girls on average are more likely to be competent due to the lower variance in their intellectual ability. Boys on average have a greater variance so you have fewer overall that will perform because there's more that are on the lower end and more that are on the higher end.
One aspect to this is that cultural norms, and those in power, change over time. There are tons of people who said or believed things 10 years ago that would get them fired today. And that’s in countries with freedom of speech.

I’d be shocked if most people would be ok with public disclosure of every inconsiderate, off-color, or poorly worded joke you’ve ever made in private. That’s leaving aside things like intimate conversations with a spouse/SO, etc.

That said, I wouldn’t be using a service like this to get there, but I do value the ability to use a privacy-focused messaging app in my day-to-day life.
Agree. As a white male, I don't feel even a bit incensed or threatened in any way by articles like this.

> Google didn't build their rating system specifically to blackmail businesses into paying for tools that can get negative ratings removed

Quite the opposite, Google is constantly being harassed by lawyers employed by businesses with bad ratings, using legal tricks to have legitimate reviews removed. Then what‘s left is a very distorted picture of the actual consumer ratings, so the system is quite skewed in businesses favor.

In railway timetables things like 24:37 are sometimes used, for example for a train that leaves at 23:45 and arrives at 24:37 on weekdays. It would not just be confusing but totally incorrect to claim that the train arrives at 00:37 on weekdays. On the other hand, I don't think I've ever seen a 25:xx, and if you were writing a timetable for a slow train on the Trans-Siberian Railway then I really don't think people would appreciate it if you used a three-digit hour.
The process is quite a lot easier for the hire and the outcomes are frequently better for employer. A key point is that it is a much more substantial process than it is in tech, and the qualitative aspects are understood/accepted/managed.

Tech hires quickly and frequently for the short-term. The algorithms test approach is intended to condense what would be a much more expansive investigation into something straightforward (and supposedly quantifiable.) This discards a significant amount of information which is considered in other high-end jobs.
