Anecdotal but my office is ultra-woke. There are endless internal emails about whatever-week, or veterans-this, or LBGTQ+-that etc etc. People have been hounded out and either quit or been fired for fairly minor "infractions" of the groupthink (...and also some people have rightly been fired for actual inappropriate behaviour).

And guess what all this talk about "toxic masculinity" and generally vilifying all men leads to? If you said "chilling effect" then you are bang on. It is a bloody minefield. Keep your head down, never talk about non-work stuff, refuse to provide feedback or do interviews, refuse to help people out unless it is directly your job' responsibility to do so etc and hope you don't get fired.

It genuinely feels like I have a target on my back.
Well the situation in the article seems like a good example, you think the female ceo should swap with the male co founder. You're invested but not massively and you've not really known either for years.
> But Fox News has been the most-watched news source in the United States for nearly two decades!

Why does watching a news channel necessarily mean that you think that the news channel understands you? Maybe they're watching it and from that deciding it doesn't understand them. In fact... if they didn't watch it they wouldn't know that it doesn't understand them so they must be watching it...

Sorbus trees are usually called "rowan" or "mountain ash" in English. And yep, they also need bletting to be at their best.

Mountain ash is a popular landscaping tree here. Birds (particularly waxwings) flock to them in winter when there's little else to eat (and presumably when the fruit has become less bitter, thanks to bletting).

This is kind of the end result we're heading for, where you can only talk candidly with people who are equal or lower than you on the oppression hierarchy. The shitty part is that I'm pretty sure 99% of people are reasonable human beings but the media has to make it seem like that isn't the case so the risk equation changes. Similar to how kids used to roam around the neighborhood but now it's deemed too risky because the media makes it seem like there are murderers lurking around every corner.

Creating a throwaway for obvious reasons. I'm not an investor but someone who is in a position to make key decisions about peoples' careers and give advice, and I do have a bit of a trick I use for this.

There was one black female mentee who I noticed was timid in taking credit for her work. I had recently attended a diversity panel where someone in a similar role as me said that in a similar situation, and her advice to her mentee was "Think about what a white man would do" and everyone applaud such an insightful advice. So identifying such an opportunity, I said the exact same thing word for word, basically "I see you're hesitating to take credit for your work. Think about what a white man would do."

Immediately after saying that, I could tell it wasn't taken well, and she asked "what does that mean?" I couldn't come up with an answer for that which wouldn't be taken in a really bad way, so I backpedaled. She later reported me to an administrative person who luckily felt it was too vague to file a serious report about, but told me to watch what I say.

But I do have a solution (my trick). From that point on, I definitely give more subtle advice unless they have passed my test, which is I see how they react to situations where they could give the benefit of the doubt to others in vague situations. Sometimes, I'll bring up a past story about another anonymous person and see if they are outraged and want to get them in trouble. Only the ones who remark that they probably had good intentions, and don't react too strongly, I'll give more candid advice to.
As a single source yes. But if you count all the other media with a different take on news Fox is a minority viewpoint.

You’re making it way more complicated than it needs to be. Most everyone pays for healthcare with pre-tax dollars. Others get it for free outright from the government. The cash benefit of government paid insurance does not need to be more complicated than the median cost of healthcare for paying participants.
well as long as you have a heading..

Experiments have been conducted this way since forever - just 3 days ago I was reading richard feynman's book where he talks about this issue as well - basically the people who try to run experiment properly take longer and are pushed away and never get published or cited, whereas the poorly conducted experiments which show results aligned with what would make headlines get all the attention.

This is why I take any studies, experiments, trials results with a big grain of salt.
> Governments want you to think of crypto primarily as an asset and not a currency, because they don't want to give up control over currency creation.

According to Adi Shamir[1] 98% of bitcoins belonged to 2% of portfolios in 2012. So... The government is "bad" because you can actually express your opinion in monetary policy, you know who's who, etc. and BTC (or any other crypto) is good because you have absolutely no idea who the 2% is? I'm not following...

Regarding the gov and BTC. The government will tax BTC the same will tax any other asset, so in reality, the gov doesn't care. You can choose to hide profits from BTC and you'd choose to hide profits from any other financial activity. I don't really see the US Gov fighting bitcoin, if anything the gov tries to put BTC into perspective.

If you are anti-gov because "gov is bad (by default)" I get the feeling but has little to do with BTC.

The mobile phone industry has failed security and privacy with every single technology for over 40 years.

Every single layer, and every single generation, is broken.

Example: The encryption has been home-grown in every generation, and every generation has been broken. They keep reinventing their own shit, even though EVERYONE knows you DO NOT DO THAT.

Another example: The backbone of cross-operator traffic has ZERO authentication. If you're lucky it has ACLs on IP addresses. (and if you thought BGP hijacking on the internet was lax and unmonitored...)

Another: The GTP protocol on this network has a "high security" mode, where it only allows clients who set the "yes, I'm authenticated" bit in the header. Yes, really. A bit.

And operationally like half the nodes in phone networks have a password of "letmein", "password", or "Secret" (capital 's', very high security).

I've seen companies accidentally log in to their competitors nodes, because the both used "letmein" as password!

There is NO POSSIBLE WAY anyone can be this incompetent. I give the benefit of doubt, but we're approaching half a century of EVERY SINGLE THING, standards, implementation, policies, and operations, being completely broken. At what point can we say for certain that this is malice, this is deliberate backdooring of all phone infrastructure?
Long-haul truckers are 1% of the US population, which is something like 3 or 4 million people.

I'm sure that number pales in comparison to the number of truckers, oil workers, and construction types globally that spend weeks or months on the road at a time. It's probably easily 100 million people that will immediately directly benefit from increased mobile bandwidth.

That's not even counting the dozens of developing countries where they just skipped cabling altogether and mobile data is the only internet access available. That probably boops the figure up to a billion or more.
A "cup" of coffee is officially 8oz and typically between 80 and 100mg.

I would agree with most of this. Blaming social media is a dead horse now, but not without good reasons.

Most of what I'm bemoaning here boils down to frustration with the apparent increase in anti-intellectualism, and how it pervades everything. If you don't understand enough of what's been discussed before, you can't even have a coherent conversation. There are all too many incoherent conversations going on.
The bubbles I've observed have been a product of or exacerbated by artificially low interest rates and the money printing that enables them. If Bitcoin achieves its goal, it will remove or reduce the power of the government to print money and otherwise set interest rates, which will enable market-based interest rates to emerge.

> I have to say though, I am in awe in some way at the boldness of your claims. What must be going on in your head to take something that you have no idea about, and then just assume without looking into it even a little bit that nobody else could possibly have any idea about it either, and confidently declare that as fact?

Let's remember the "Assume good faith" guideline and also remember that not everyone here is having a US-centric view on how things are. Seemingly you read about half of my comment but not the rest, as I never "confidently declare[d] that as fact".

> So you're an accountant, or a tax lawyer? If not you might want to give that a massive, giant, IANAL

No, I'm not and I don't need to disclaim what my profession is either. What is with the internets obsession about "IANAL"? Isn't it more proper to assume that someone is NOT a lawyer, accountant or whatever if they don't say anything, than the opposite? (Irony is that you failed to add "IANAL" to your comment, should I assume you're actually a lawyer?)

Sure, IRS might act like that but not every country, and if you read my comment again you see that my view is broader than just the IRS.

Arguments like 'is bitcoin a battery or not' reduce the complexity of bitcoin down to meaningless binary noise. It's a new thing entirely, there's no analogy that will effectively describe it.

I have seen effective points made on both sides of the electricity usage argument. There is certainly a strong incentive to use the lowest cost energy to mine, and there is significant waste in energy production that is beginning to be harvested for bitcoin rather than lost entirely. I might be buying into the propaganda, who knows.

However, the more I learn about bitcoin, the more I believe it will be around for a very long time. I'd rather debate how to use the wealth that it is generating to develop more sustainable economies than argue over terminology. Let's build walkable cities that don't need cars, where the buildings are dense and energy-efficient, renewable energy production is distributed and owned by communities, and locally grown food is abundant. The value bitcoin is storing needs to be put to work eventually. The systems to do this are starting to come into place, there's no new technology needed.
It's my goal to save up more cash and then at some point in the near future move to Romania to try my hand at a startup there. Any recommendations on who to talk with or what kinds of resources I should read? Should a startup be incorporated in America still, or do the Romania tech tax-benefits only apply to companies incorporated in Romania? Questions like these are accumulating on my list now that I'm starting to see this goal becoming a reality! Any recommendations or advice would be appreciated.
I don't think the author needed to bring "false accusation" into the picture here, and in fact it weakens the point. I think male investor saying to a female CEO that her male colleague is better suited to the CEO role would be taken, ipso facto, as sexism. No falsehoods need enter the picture.

The best book you’ll ever read? That’s a bit of a stretch but everyone is allowed their opinion.

Data caps are a rarity in many countries.
Exactly. And this specifically contributed to its failure because it assured a "boil the ocean" project couldn't be "nipped in the bud" easily. It was intentional to distribute the design and manufacturing among as many Congressional districts and states as possible, but this ALSO is exactly the recipe for failure in any large project (especially an engineering project like JSF) both technically, politically and in terms of systems engineering and project management.

Take the Capital's mostly peaceful protest on January 6 (sarcasm), where the 7 people who died. Did you know the only two who died violently that day were protestors and many news agencies retracted the death of the police officer "hit with a fire extinguisher"?

https://www.breitbart.com/the-media/2021/02/23/nolte-politif...

Two people died from "medial emergencies" and don't appear to have done anything besides attend trumps rally:

Officer Brian Sicknick died the following day and there have been arrests, supposedly he died of a stroke, but to-date no medical report has been released:

https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/15/politics/brian-sicknick-capit...

Estimates vary, but based on reporting on the ground, it appears there were at least 500,000 people there, so it's not super surprising that there would be quite a few natural deaths.

Further, it has to be the only armed insurrection in history where the insurrectionists primarily left their weapons at home.

Not saying what was done was moral, correct, etc (it wasn't), but after watching my own city burn in the BLM "mostly peaceful protests" I can't help but recognize the unadulterated falsehoods being propagated.

https://twitter.com/JoeConchaTV/status/1298863702272344064?s...

Both are bad, both were riots, and all you have to do is look to see how bad it is. We don't need to make the death count worse or ignore other riots / crimes.

The general point, if the media would focus on reporting as opposed to pandering it would have trust. As the post points out, they're trying to sell their narratives to increase viewership. However, as soon as people realize they're being sold something, they forever lose that viewer.

I tend to trust journalists a bit more, such as Glenn Greenwald:

https://twitter.com/GGreenwald

They appear to be truly investigating.
You left out the next part of your first quote:

> More than two dozen epidemiological studies from around the globe looking at sleep deprivation and BMI in humans have shown association between decreased obesity and an increase in sleep duration. These studies however do not establish a causal relationship.

The paper also mentions and agrees with who you were responding to:

> In summary, energy expenditure is reduced during sleep. Sleep deprivation appears to increase energy expenditure.

And finally in the conclusion:

> Paradoxically a similar U-shaped relation is also noted in several studies looking at the relationship between sleep and weight, with both short and long sleep leading to weight gain.

I may have missed it, but it doesn't appear a causal relationship was ever formed between metabolic dysregluation from sleep issues and weight gain. And since both less and more sleep were associated with weight gain, is sleep or the lack thereof just another symptom of stress and depression? Both of which often cause people to eat more.
Ranking companies in Bangalore using Glassdoor ratings and Confidence Intervals
I have been job searching. A crucial component of this was comparing companies on glassdoor. But how do I compare 2 companies when one of them has a small number of ratings? Can you rely on the small number of reviews, when the other option is an established company with a lower rating but a large number of reviews?

To deal with this I used the lower bound of confidence interval around the sample mean to rank companies in Bangalore (where I live) and wrote an article about it. I hope it can be of use to the community.
